Don't try substitutes; 'penny wise and pound foolish.' Buy good quality DIESEL rated fuel (not heating oil, used motor oil, fast-food waste oil with salt, water, etc. in it), DIESEL rated motor oil, DIESEL rated battery; 4DLT for your tractor (not a high CCA rated car or truck battery), DIESEL rated coolant (and/or additives to prevent cavitation of cylinder walls). Keep ether out of the intake (use engine block heater if needed for cold starts, know and use your factory cold-starting aid, if so equipped). I know some people will argue these points but those people won't be there to pay you the 'pound' when the 'penny' you saved comes back to bite!
