You should be able to get an ether assist kit from your local dealer. Or at least they should be able to order one for you. I agree, this isn't the best thing to use on an engine on a regular basis. Saw a man start his 856 with ether one time after we installed the kit on it for him. I just knew that we would be putting a new block in that tractor REAL SOON.

Has anyone hear ever tried using gasoline to start a diesel with? When I worked in the garages and we had a tractor that didn't want to start. Sometimes we took a gasoline soaked rag to the intake for the air cleaner. Took a few turns on the starter, but it sure did roar when it did start up. This is also a practice that I wouldn't recomend doing on a regular basis either.
