Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Supported 3044/3044C applications include selected 236B, 246B, 248B, 252B and 262B machines
- Additional 267B/277B/287B and later compact-equipment applications are associated with the engine family; verify exact plug specification
Product Overview
Glow plugs preheat the combustion chamber to improve cold starting. Slow cold starts, white smoke immediately after startup or one cylinder lagging while cold can indicate a weak plug, but the glow relay, timer, wiring and battery condition should also be tested.
The 3044/3044C engine family appears in Caterpillar B/C-series compact equipment including models such as 236B, 246B, 248B, 252B, 262B and several multi-terrain/compact-track models. The original generic title did not identify a plug number, so fitment should be confirmed from the engine serial number before purchase.
Do not assume all nearby Cat loader models use the 3044. For example, some 216B/232B configurations use a different engine family. Match the engine data plate and installed glow-plug specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the engine data plate, glow-plug voltage and original plug number before ordering. Model family alone is not enough.
Is this a genuine equipment-manufacturer part?
