Diesel Engine

We are getting up to the 50's some days and then we'll have another cold snap. My next trip down, I'm going to try some of your suggestions. I'll also take photos of the engine so you can see what this 1967 motor looks like. Here's some info on the motor:

The M35A2 is popularly powered by an LDT 465 engine, made by either Continental Motors Company, Hercules, or White Motor Company. It is an in-line, 478-cubic-inch (7.8 L), six-cylinder, turbocharged multifuel engine developing 134 bhp (100 kW) and 330 pound force-feet (447 N·m) of torque. This is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission and divorced 2-speed transfer case (either a sprag-operated transfer case Rockwell 136-21 or air-operated selectable transfer case Rockwell 136-27). Multifuel engines are designed to operate reliably on a wide variety of fuels, to include diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil or gasoline. Gasoline should only be used in an emergency because it does not properly lubricate the injector pump. While using gasoline, common practice calls for the addition of at least 1 U.S. quart of clean motor oil per 15 U.S. gallons of gasoline (1 imp qt/13 imp gal; 1 L/60 L) for proper pump lubrication where available

I really appreciate the ideas. BTW ZippyT, these doesn't have a glow plug indicator. I sure wish they did. I hope to have an update in a week or two
