My Fergie 35 and '65 and above Fords use a cute little critter. It is a combination of diesel and electric current. You go to the warmup mode (ignition switch position or separate button) and current flows through the coil causing it to glow red hot. The heat forces a plug off it's seat and diesel dribbles out on top of this red hot wire.
You guessed it, you start a fire in your intake manifold, but it works, works good, and doesn't take very long.

My deeres used ether, but the dispenser has long bit the dust. But with good compression, fast starting rpm's caused by big batteries with short fat cables with clean terminals, and Texas' relatively mild winters, I can start them without any aids.
