No good reason in warm weather other than starters on older small diesels are often worth as much to buy as entire running engines.

BUT......in cold climates, it's a different picture. Up here, where it gets down very close to 50 below quite often, if you plan to shut a diesel off for any more than an hour, you best be inside a heated building or beside an electrical outlet to plug in engine heaters, or be rich enough to afford a fuel fired engine heater. I sure can't! Our trucks at work run for most of the winter. They cool down mighty quick when it's that cold, and I've seen them not start when shut down for 2 hours. Then it can be days before we can get them started again. My own trucks and tractor I don't start at all in the winter unless they're gonna be running most of the day or for a long trip.
