The Oliver 500 diesels have a factory "ether system". There is a plastic knob on top the air intake hood. Unscrew it and there is a little piece of wire with a cotton ball on the end. Kind of like one of those jobbies in a can of plastic pipe glue. You dip that cotton ball in a bottle of ether and screw it back in place then crank the tractor.
Personally, I've never used it. It doesn't get too cold here but when it is below 30 and I need to use the tractor, I just use my hot air gun to blow hot air down the intake pipe. Seems to start a bit easier and that's a good thing for the old starter and battery.
