Determine old resistor from old vehicle

(1/3) > >>

Hi.

I have a schema for tractor where there is glower input inlet. There is 12V+12V 24V and R1 to transfer 12V for that glower.
But that R1 is in terrible condition and I am trying to understand where can I get such thing and how big value it is.
See attached images.

Can you please help?

From the photo it doesn't look like the resistor's zig-zaggy element is broken so you may still be able to read the resistance of the resistor with a multimeter. Ohmite vitreous power resistors may have a close replacement.  Other than that a repair shop or the tractor maker would be the place to go.

Yup, exactly.  It looks like you might still be able to measure the value of your part, so head in that direction and let us know what you find.

And post a picture of the tractor!  Old tractors are cool.  Good luck with your restoration.

If the glow plug is 12 volt and the resistor is to drop 12 V from 24 to 12, then the resistor is of the same resistance as the glow plug.

Noting that the resistance of the glow plug will likely increase when running at it's intended temperature compared to cold.
