glow plugs

[rexnord]

I have a Mahindra 2015 4wd tractor that uses a nkg-724u glow plug 8 volt. Does anyone know of a replacement for this glow plug. The ones from the dealer are around $50.00 each.

I don't, sorry...but why would such a new glow plug need to be replaced already?

I had a 2615HST and found the same problem. The plugs for mine were made by NGK and sold only to dealers. My glow plugs were not even listed on the NGK site. I replaced mine 3 times over a 10 year period. I heard they failed due to the glow plug timer cycle being too short. Mahindra had an upgrade kit that included new plugs and timer. I bought the kit and replaced mine. It was plug and play easy to replace. I think the upgraded plugs were rated for higher voltage (10 volts). I sold my 2615 almost 2 years ago but they are still working according to the guy who bought it.
Here's the link for the upgrade. I bought mine from Lawalls (a member here).

Other than the upgrade you can check with your local NAPA. They may be able to match the length and threads. If they can go with a 10V plug and it shouldn't burn out so fast.

I think he has an older model 2015 not a year 2015 tractor.

After doing much research I have found a replacement for the NGK 724U. It is a NGK y107Y the only difference is it is a 8.5 volt Tractor starts fine.
Cost $6.93 cents each instead of $45.00 to $50.00 each from the dealer.
