It's not just in the frigid north that diesels are hard to start. In my part of SC they can be a pain. Many times I wished I had a block heater. One tractor has a heater on the intake manifold. Turn the motor over a few times to get the fuel flowing, stop, turn on the heater until there is a pop from fuel being ignited by the heater, then crank tractor. Another tractor just has a hand lever and supposedly you can pump it to get fuel into the system and then it will start better.

I didn't have to be very cold to have to do this, about 30 degrees. Found that the battery was too small and had a bad cell, have a new bigger battery now and so far all has been well. The other tractor has glow plugs and I have been getting better starting after replacing all but one of the glow plugs. Ether is not a good solution for any of these tractors, especially the one with glow plugs.
