Thanks for the help swbradley1 I have read both these threads as well as several others that had some helpful information. I'm going over to my Dad's farm to work on this again today. I think I'm pointed in the right direction.
Would it automatically reset when reattached? Does it work by shutting down the fuel pumps when triggered? I am refering to a box with 2 latches on the bottom that is on the opposite side of the engine from the starter. It appears to contain glow plugs and/or block heater.
I thought maybe I had a bad breaker. When it popped the 15 amp I switched it back to the 7.5.

Spedmon can you suggest a good place to hook up a 120 v freq meter in the control box. I was thinking about drilling a couple holes and hooking it to the convenience plug until I read this thread. Thanks
Don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. Does anyone know of a civilian replacement for radiator cap on MEP004A? And if this post is in wrong place let me know where to post question. Thanks for any help.
