I am looking at buying my first tractor. I am considering a International 2400B Utility. The tractor has a 3 cylinder diesel motor and the owner has to give it a shot of ether in order to cold start it. After using ether it will start right up just fine and can be started again without ether when it is warm. I don't see any glow plugs on the tractor and the owner said some diesel tractors don't have glow plugs. He also said the tractor might be missing a heater box that went on the air intake (that might have had a glow plug in it).
I can't help but think a diesel motor would need to have some kind of cold weather starting assistance. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have attached a few pictures.
