Get that pup good and warm, spin 'er over fast enough and get 'er fuel and she'll start. Up here where the temperature goes to 35 below zero F, that is how we get our diesels running. The biggest thing is the use of a block heater. At least two hours before you want to use it (more if it is really cold) plug it in and let it warm up then it'll start like the middle of summer. Keep the battery up and the cable connections cleaned. If it gets much colder than xero, you should put an anti-gel additive in the fuel. I don't like ether, I have seen what it does to engines and it is not pretty (or cheap). I prefer to plug it in and let it warm up. ALso, if it is real cold, you might want to takea it easy on the hydraulics until they warm up. Good luck!.
