Mitsubishi Parts help

[Bw-n-alvin]

Hey guys, i have a mitsubishi mt210 tractor that i borrowed from a friend. As luck would have it, the glow plugs stopped working while i had it. For the life of me, i cant find anyone who carries mitsubishi parts. Does anyone have any pionters for me? Ive heard that some Kubota parts are interchangeable with Mitsubishi, but the kubota dealer I spoke with didnt agree with that..

Will do. Thank you Sir.

believe it or not: eBay. Just ID your engine, probably a K3B or K3C. Lots of them out there.

What Ken Combs said is correct. Also, lots of other import tractors used Mitsubishi engines.
If what you really need is glow plugs, they are probably not made by Mitsubishi anyhow.
Alternatively, you could try to figure out what brand of parts they are and start with
a cross-reference chart at NAPA.

Would seem strange if more than one quit,if it has multiple. Did you check fuses? If any.

 

[steve_in_mo]

TractorData says it's a K3D.

Take one in to a good parts house and they can match it up or get the number off from one and get the new ones that way.

What qualifies as a "good parts house?" How would one go about finding such a place?

The usual auto parts stores and farm equipment dealerships around here would be useless in finding this part. To the best of my knowledge there are no other choices.

A GOOGLE search for "Mitsubishi K3D glow plugs" brings up many sources to peruse.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves, better dig into it a bit before tossing $$$ after G.P.'s you may not need.

What type of system does this have, automatic/timer or a manual pushbutton with an indicator in the dashboard that begins to glow as the GP's heat up?

Are the glowplugs in series or in parallel? (Parallel would have just a single wire to each glowplug, and if one were to burn out the others would still work.)

Have you checked the individual glowplugs for continuity?

Have you checked to be sure there's power to the switch or controller? (Could be a bad connection, or a fuse or fusible link that's failed.)

Mitsubishi engines are in every thing from electric road signs,to compressors to generators to tractors. Probably the most ubiquitous engine in the world. Grab the numbers and go to NAPA. I got glow plugs for my Mitsubishi powered Mahindra at NAPA

I bought the NGK glow plugs at NAPA for my Mitsubishi tractor for $7 each
