Welp if people want to jump all over me for this go ahead. If it was my tractor and I was turning it over and it was starting to put smoke out the exhaust I'd hit it with a shot of ether and my money says it will fire up and run. There are some issues with ether and I would be remiss to not mention them. Try a few whiffs of ether into the air breather tube when the tractor has started putting smoke out..if it doesn't light it up then put the ether away, it will wash down the cylinder walls if you keep pouring it to the system.( will condense on the cylinder walls) You should not use ether and glow plugs together. It sounds to me like your tractor is offering to start. Old fuel will still run it, add some fresh,it may help , I believe you said in another post the tractor had set for a spell. I'm no diesel expert but everyone I have ever been around will start when you see smoke coming out the exhaust.
