I can't believe it – it appears that you can no longer paste URLs from other tractor websites on this site now!!!

I would hook up a voltmeter between the solenoid terminal that contains the wire from the ignition and a good ground. See what voltage you are actually getting to the solenoid when the switch is in the Start position.

Larry,
Here are a couple of pictures that may help on your fuse box. First is a picture from my Jinma 284 and the 2nd is a drawing that I made so I would understand the wiring.

I want to be sure that I understand.
You hooked up a meter for measuring Voltage between the wire that connects to the glow plug copper bar and a tractor ground as I described in a previous note. The reading on the meter was slightly over 12 Volts. Correct?
Curiosity – Is the wire that connects to the copper bar a green wire labelled 39?

What does the amp meter show when you turn on the key, turn on headlights, turn key to start? That should tell you whether the meter is dead.

Not sure what they are called – I call them 'rubber-coated' washers.
You will need the metric measurements and can get them from Tommy at Affordable or Ronald at RanchHand.

In my opinion, leaving the key in the On position would have nothing to do with the glow plugs no longer working. The key on could affect the battery energy if left on long enough.
Glow plugs are located on the left side of the engine (look like small spark plugs). Disconnect the wire that leads to them and suspend it so that the end does not touch anything. Connect the red lead of a meter that measures voltage to that wire and connect the black lead of the meter to a good ground. Place the meter so you can see it from the seat of the tractor. Get on the tractor and depress the clutch pedal. Turn the key to the Heat position (that is between the On and Start positions). You should see voltage register on the meter.
If there is no voltage and you are sure that the meter connections are good, there is a problem between the wire at the glow plugs and the ignition switch.
When you have done this, post the results and we can go from there.
