Edd, Part of the information that the other listers haven't been commenting on is that you asked about CCA and glow plugs. You could probably plan on between 10 and 15 amps total for your glow plugs. Compared to the draw of the starter this is a relatively insignificant additional current draw. >From the online resources that I found for your engine, it appears that you cannot apply power to the glow plugs and starter simultaneously anyway so really now you get down to total Ah, CA, and CCA needed. In the past I've used an old AGM with only 7Ah of measured usable capacity to start my Yanmar. As the rest of the listers have suggested, any U1 battery should fill the bill in your situation. I say get the largest that will fit the battery compartment but don't stress that it may be too small.
