Another couple of tricks- If you have a manifold pre-heater, run the pre-heat, then turn over for 5-10 seconds with the fuel shut off. Preheat again, start turning over with fuel off, then while still turning over, turn on the fuel. This gets warm air through the cylinders without flooding with fuel, and gets the oil circulating as well. Disadvantage- your battery better be in pretty good shape.
If you don't have preheat or glowplugs, preheat the manifold with a propane torch. If you have a petcock on the manifold, (many IHs do), open it up, and when you have preheated the manifold, hold the torch to the open petcock when you start cranking. The vacuum will suck the flame out, and will also suck propane through the hole, which works as well or better than ether as a starting aid.
