You use ether as a starter fluid for most diesel engines. Remember watching a
mechanic spray an old International with ether until it started. Sounded better
on ether than on diesel, put out pretty white smoke too.
Can't use it with my dodge-Cummins, though. The ether would explode when it
came to the air preheater wires.

Does anyone have any experience hooking up a heavy duty battery (from my
John Deere 350B Crawler) to a trickle charger? The reason is that this
equipment doesn't have a glow plug warmer and it takes a ton of cranking
to
start in cold weather. I would like to keep the battery topped off for
that reason. (Also, is there a better way to start this equipment? I was
thinking starter fluid, but it's a diesel)
On another note, my loader has 2 batteries. Can I hook a trickle charge
up
to that? If so, do I hook them up together in parallel? of series? or do
I use 2 chargers and remove the batteries from the loader?
