We were having trouble starting the Kubota yesterday so while we were cranking it I notice there was air and fuel bubbling out around the front glow plug.

I tightened it and the thing started right up.

We overheated the tractor this weekend and I'm wondering if we damaged the head or did the glow plug just vibrate out from time and usage.

I didn't see anything to indicate we damaged the head and the thing ran fine for 1.5 hours yesterday.

Is there some kind of sealer I need to use on the glow plug?
