NGK Y112TS Glow Plug

glukowicz · Jan 27, 2022

Has anyone used a NGK 112TS glow plug(also shows 1232) in their Branson tractor? I have a 3820i and it is shorter than the OEM glow plug. I see in other posts that this is supposed to be an cross referenced glow plug. Wondering if I should send them back or use it.
Thanks for any help,
Gary

If the threads are shorter don't use it. The threads in the head will carbon up. Then if you install the correct length the plug can dislodge the carbon into the engine or get stuck or damage the other threads as you force it in.

Also if it's shorter the business end will be down in a hole where it's less effective.

Thanks. I think I will just return them and get OEMs.
