Just out of curiosity, how did the diesels without pre-heat systems get started in the winter?
:):)
Had to spray ether into the intake while cranking. Some engines had an ether system installed on the engine with a switch on the dash. Boy, that brings up a lot of memories of dealing with diesels in cold weather. :E
Ya beat me to it. yep--enclosures and a big industrial heater to get the oil warm in the oilpan. Those were the days! Lol
You forgot the pony motors to roll the diesel while spraying
Oh yeah. forgot about those.............. Haha.
