Been there done that... in a little different way. No more 900 dollar fixes to start a simple diesel truck.
Only thing that's smart about the box is the big hit to the wallet. CAMO
If one is lucky enough to win. No profit here at $200.

Shop till you drop, CAMO
WOOHOO... Friend OK. BUT Not advisable to make this connection (per conversions) to pull 12 Volts out of the battery bank this way. Puts the +12 volts referenced to ground on the negative of your plugs. Reference ground to ground and play it safe. Should the product you have be plugged...
Idea and cheap. Open the hole up keeping it round to an available size next. Snap in a plastic hole plug. Seal and paint as needed. Works on those MAK holes too.
Quick link or search...all sizes even metal.

Happy Halloween, CAMO

I do not have that belt set-up... so this could be way out in left field. (likely) Don't serpentine belts like to ride in the groves of the pulleys?? The forth picture has me confused.
About to learn something, CAMO
Made that tool after fussing and studying what going on with my rebuild. Double check the cam action for the E-brake when you think you got it figured out.
Building the gripping part.
Used the piston nut part as template.
Next the compression parts.
Paint makes it all work better. LOL...
IMO... It would make more sense to keep on top of your rigs batteries... than spending that kind of money to tote around another piece of gear.
Don't forget the batteries hide under the seat, lol. So take a peek from time to time. Get that Amp meter out and check for parasitic drain...
Always good to have a meter and use it. Glow plugs and injectors are pretty much straight forward, in and out. Going to be some comments on injectors reuse of copper crush washers and return lines. Return lines are a bitchy PITA to deal with. Those simple little clamps and the hose are a...
Good time to replace the return lines too. Once all this monkey motion is out of the way...should be good to go for a long time. Hose, clamps or the no clamp magic hose ??, anti seize and a few Bud's.
Keep an eye on the volt meter. Look for proper cycling sequence. Box not working and...
You probably have this > https://www.fivestarmanufacturing.com/pdf/kats_2020_catalog_complete_web-(1).pdf
Lot's of use info and phone numbers. Warranty info too.
Could be a hot deal, CAMO
This is how I do it. No fancy tool... just a good pair of Vise Grips. 3/8 socket gets it loose. If swollen a squirt of oil in the hole. Vise Grip locked on the glow plug head, tight not crushing. Pulling hard with a controlled feel and rotate 1/8 turn clockwise, then counter clockwise. Repeat...
Around October these start problems... well not start...start showing up.
Good time to get at the ghosts 👻 and goblins 👺 with a good weatherization and PMCS.
Never had a problem starting my HumV. 121 degrees or 6 degrees.
Glow and GO, CAMO 👀
