Thoughts on aftermarket glowplugs?

[chrisbowers8]

I have a 3cyl Yanmar in my Deere 2720 that's in need of glowplugs that are backordered absolutely everywhere. I can find plenty of aftermarket ones (for very low prices usually which always makes me wary) - Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket ones and any recommendations on brand if they have good experiences? I did check NGK since that's a trusted brand and they don't make ones that fit my engine.

I bought 3 for my JD X740 Yanmar 4-5 years ago from NAPA. No problems whatsoever. Aftermarket type.

If there are markings on your existing glow plugs they should identify manufacturer and the specific glow plug. I would be very surprised if NGK could not provide glow plugs for your tractor. Try contacting them directly through their website. That's how I learned the type that should have been in my Mitsubishi tractor instead of what the last user had installed.
