The original subject was "656 hydro rear battery box".
these IH engines are a high compression thin wall dry sleeve design, & were designed to use glow plugs all seasons;
if your glow plug meter is stuck to the right, the engine will crank until the battery is boned, white smoke, etc;
one good battery is all that is needed; summer glow plug on time is about one minute, winter on time is three to four minutes;
the thin wall dry sleeve design cannot take the combustion pressure of ether, should you use ether you may well bone your engine;
new battery cable are also preferred;
my 656D starts & runs fine all winter, Minnesota, uSA
