There are many, many differing types of systems out there. Some are simple and some very complicated. Some mechanical, some electric, and some both. Deere used a hand primer pump made by Kohler mounted on the dashboard for 1010s and 2010s. It's still made by Essex and used by the military and in some aircraft. You pump it a certain amount of strokes and use the glow plugs at the same time.
In regard to the unitized one-piece combination heater and diesel "flame thrower" made to mount in the intake-manifold, they have to get fuel from somewhere. On many European tractors, e.g. SAME, a small pint-sized fuel reservoir is mounted a little about the heater so fuel can gravity feed to the heater whenever the electic control is operated. This reservoir is tied into the main fuel-return circuit so it's kept full all the time. Nice simple system and works fine. If the tractor is already gravity feed, it's a very easy hook-up with no pump or reseroir needed.
A hand primer pump is fine, but costs a fortune. Deere charges $500 just for the hand pump alone. I can buy them direct from the manufacturer, but it's still not cheap at $150.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
