I was reading in one of my Oliver books that some of the Oliver models had a 1/8 hole in the preheater for using ether. I have an Oliver Super 55 diesel and want to know if I can add this to my tractor and what is the exact procedure for applying the ether? Thanks and Seasons Greet

Egor posted on the talk page, but the basic idea is to crank it to get the oil through the journals and then apply a 1 second squirt to the breather and crank it again. If it "hits" but doesn't start repeat the process but don't increase the amount of spray or you will hear a symphony of wrist pin and rod bearings clattering in agony...

Thanks for the information. Sounds to risky to use. One of my neighbors said it can put a hole in a piston. I have a in line heater core that is in the lower radiator hose. I am going to try and find a cord for it. Seems like the safer way to go. I want to rebuild this engine one day, but on my terms. If you know what I
