Welcome to Diesel bombers Fred !
Maybe a starter?
I would trace the wire back from the grid heater solenoid and anything that was attached to that post and make sure it didn't arc somewhere. Sounds like a relay may have fried.
have you replaced the grid heater did it have a short to ground internally?

Thanks for the reply. ended up finding a wire coming out of the fusible link that was bad. Found that and didn't look to much farther as to why the solenoid fried
