Well, I always start my diesels in cold weather with the throttle pulled wide open. Some tractors have certain features to help, for instance a 584 , you hold your fuel shut off lever out halfway and it provides more fuel to aid in starting. The batteries are very important. They need to be Good and be charged up. I've seen folks starting a diesel and complaining about the hard start when in fact it is turning over, but not turning over fast enough.Good batteries are a must.Ether is better left in the can. Some kind of heater will help, I have a magnetic one I clamp on the oilpan, you can stick it on the water jacket if you wish, the extra bit of heat helps a lot.On the oil pan it thins the cold oil and the heat does permeate the combustion chambers, an in line coolant heater is likely the best.Run some methyl hydrate in the diesel fuel and a quart of automatic transmission fluid in the fuel will lube your pump .That's what works for me, but battery is 90% of the start up.
