Kubota Kx/U27 Glow Plug - OEM Number: 1G679-65512

The Kubota KX/U27 Glow Plug (OEM 1G679-65512) is a direct replacement cold-start heating component designed for use on Kubota KX and U27 series compact excavators and associated diesel engine platforms. It forms part of the engine’s pre-heating system, helping improve cold starting performance by heating the combustion chamber prior to ignition.

Manufactured to OEM specifications, this glow plug is engineered for rapid heat-up, durability, and reliable performance under repeated thermal cycling. It assists diesel combustion during cold weather operation, reducing excessive cranking, white smoke, and uneven starting characteristics.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Heats the combustion chamber during cold starting
• Assists ignition of diesel fuel at low temperatures
• Reduces excessive engine cranking and cold-start smoke
• Supports smoother engine starting and idle stability
• Designed for repeated thermal cycling and continuous service use
