The important point (which I included) is glow plugs.
The Pisten Bulley we groom snowmobile trails with starts good with a healthy
snort of ether. No glow plugs on that engine so no worries, its actually got
provision for an ether injector where you added liquid ether to a little pump
behind the seat. Its long been disabled so we just do a manual squirt when
required.
A lot of heavy equipment has a place to put the can of ether but again, no glow
plugs.Those are all (AFAIK) direct injection. Max seems to indicate the
prechambers are maybe the problem. A quick google suggests glow plugs look to
be an issue which doesn't mean its the only issue.

Perhaps, i concede, if you havent been starting farm equipment that way in
minnesota your whole life, you might not know how to do it and blow your engine
up. A little goes a long way.

Anyway thats what ether is for. Little shot in the grill, synthetic oil, and
good to go.

Yeahbut, its not cold where you are. You're barely straining the battery, when
its -10F those little nothings would barely run the glowplugs...

I was impressed with how a 230 CCA $20.00 lawn tractor battery started the '83
300D so easily. I was going to buy another and run two of them since the car
doesn't get used much and I couldn't see the point in have a $100+ battery die
of old age. Problem was that the battery tray would almost but not quite seat
both of them. Being able to keep right on starting and driving if one battery
died would be a big advantage IMO.
