You try turning in seat of one of these ether button equiped IH tractors, to watch most any rear mounted equipment, your knee will either hit botton or come awfully close. That is unless your under 5'. I'm 6' 2" and I just removed the ether can from 1066. It was rarely ever away from electricity, block heater is way to go.

This is where Deere had a better idea. Ether is twice as effective when warm, so take the can to a nice warm building for storage. You install a Deere nozzel in manifold, pipe it to a Deere receptacle. You will use about 1/3 the ether and be more effective.

I went to a remote area one morning to start my Deere. Temp was hanging around -30C, no electricity as I would normally plug in circulating block heater and not use any ether. Far better solution, but one must be ready for being where there is no power. Couple of bystanders, started cat calling," that old Deere aint going to start this morning." As I got out of the pickup I slipped that ether can in my coverall pocket. I was able to keep ether hidden from them, and feather it slowly enough, they never noticed any surges on the diesel. It started very quickly. Warm ether is the answer. Those old boys told everyone for miles how well that Deere started with no artificial assists. I never did tell the two guys the difference, they were solid Detroit diesel fans.
