(Wanted) Working Glowhead for Holland Hornet .051

Need a working glowhead for my Holland Hornet .051. Doesn't need to be NIB, just a good runner. I'd aslo be glad to buy two to have a spare.

Have you contacted MECOA? They reproduce the Hornet, and list new .051 glow plugs on their website. Hard to tell if the parts are actually in stock, however...

Thanks. I checked there, but the link for the Holland Glowhead doesn't go anywhere when it's clicked on. I've got a Galebreath Conversion Head on order, with a couple extra plugs, so I should be able to get it going.

Would still take a stock head if anyone comes across one. Don't know if I can convert the original one...metal is mighty thin on top!

Thanks Again Though!

That .020 plug at the bottom looks interesting.

Doug told me he needs a burned out plug for the conversion...maybe he does them as he gets the order. I'm gonna get one on the way also.

Probably because I guess ther ei no suppliers for burned out glow heads lol!

I bought a head for Holland Hornet and TD from Galbreath. Heads are $13.00 and plugs were around $5.00 each. They are performance products and with purchase of few plugs you are ahead. Plus you can buy more plugs. I have a few new H/H plugs new but will keep them as very hard to find and 50 years old. lol!

Thanks! It happens that I JUST got a conversion head and plugs from Doug yesterday! So, my H.H. should be cranking here shortly! Appreciate it!

As a side note, the head that came with my engine does draw current and has a dim flow, so I'm gonna give it the alcohol flush treatment mentioned in another thread...just to see what happens.

Thanks again ! Kim

Did you try to start it the way it is? The H/H like to run and even fire with dim plug. Much more forgiving than a Cox engine. I use cue-tip soaked in alky carefully on plug and install. Then test engine and most times it runs. lol!
