Kyoti 1914
I have a Kyoti 1914 tractor. The glow plug indicator does not light up when I turn on the ignition to the full left position. I have replaced the ignition switch. Still does not work.

I can get the machine to run on a very warm day by cranking the starter for about a minute. That is very hard on the battery, but it is a new battery so it can do some work.

I have tested the glow plugs and it shows that they are getting electricity, they just don't preheat the cylinder.

What do I do?

Test the glow plugs out of the engine with a multi meter to see which are bad.

Welcome to the forum! :)

I'm going to move this thread on over to the Kyoti section in case you need further advice.

More info please. What model Kioti tractor (LB1914?) and what build year (first digit in serial number). Exactly how did you test the glow plugs? Did you verify power (approx 12v) at the glow plug buss bar when the key is turned to on/glow? Is your tractor still under warranty? Did the symptoms start suddenly or over time? I don't have a schematic for this model but if the key switch and wires are OK, the glow relay is a likely cause. You can probably get a replacement relay at most auto parts stores.
