Ether has it's place if needed, but use it sparingly. I don't know what you mean by " I even ether the 560 farmall to even out the cylinders after it is running and the glowplugs just arent all hot yet." Glowplugs are heated up and then you start the engine, once the engine is running the glowplugs are doing absolutly nothing. You must have a couple faulty glowplugs and use the ether to ignite the cold cylinders. Glowplugs are not to be confused with gas engine sparkplugs. To the oil question, mulit vis. oils were not availiable 40 years ago therefore all old manuals state to use single grades. Multi vis. oils are a result of modern technology and are far to superior to single grades. granted a 5w-30 never quite flows like a straight 5w when cold and never quite as thick as a 30w when hot, but is very close. I would definatley prefer a 5w-30 or 0w-30 synthetic to a straight 10W. Also the world does not end if you happen to mix sythetic with mineral based oil, they even happen to sell the stuff on the shelf, it's called Semi-Synthetic.
