Diana: Having said what I did on wiring and batteries, remember also the starter or cranking motor on a diesel must be in top shape. You have been around enough V8 Fords and Chevys to realize if you break a tooth off a ring gear it may continue to start for 6 moths to a year with little problem. Many times I have turned a gas V8 enough by hand so starter would engage at a good spot on ring gear. Not so with a diesel. I once broke a tooth off a 6.2 Chevy diesel, and within two weeks I had enough teeth missing it wouldn't even turn past that bad spot on ring gear. The compression factor on these diesels is massive. They must turn over fast to start. If you have ever done much tow starting, gas engines just need a bump of the clutch, gas and the fire of a plug to start, whereas the diesel must turn at 700 to 800 rpm until it starts to diesel. I have tow started diesels without the glow plugs working. It is just a matter of towing them with clutch out and in gear and at speed they would normally travel in that gear, until the engine warms up enough to diesel. It may take a 1/4 mile. On diesels the age of your diesel you don't even need batteries or electrics, just push the kill switch and tow.

This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
