about a year ago i drug home an early 706 w/ 282, same deal, been sitting in the barn for a few years, not stuck but doesn't run. Yes, it is POSSIBLE to start it on ether, but VERY easy to overdo it. get those glow plugs fixed. i replaced all 6 and the switch. put a regular $15 ammeter in place of the special gauge, just so i know the plugs are working. 6 plugs, switch, ammeter= less than $200. on that engine you'll need them every day of the year in any kind of weather. hot summer day= 5-10 seconds. cold winter= a minute or more.
you say you get smoke but not every time. make sure the injection pump is actually pumping. as it turned out with mine, it had an injection pump with a solenoid fuel shut-off that didn't open. just a little coil with a lever mounted inside the IP top cover. bypassed that and good to go.
just in case, change both fuel filters. they're cheap and probably need it.
if your tractor has a no TA, it can be pull started. with TA the only way would be to pressurize the MCV to the proper pressure to lock up the TA clutches, then pull. kinda a big deal, i've never actually tried it, and you need to fix the other stuff anyway, so i'd start there.
if in fact you just got air in the fuel system, it's pretty easy to fix that. each fuel filter has a bleeder on the top. the IP will purge itself via the return line. crack 1 or 2 high pressure lines at the nozzles till you get fuel, then it'll probably go.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
