Ether is pretty safe if used correctly on a direct-injected engine like your Perkins. But, I'll assume your engine has the port in the intake manifold for the optional intake-air heater? If so, they only cost $20 new. You might want to install one.
As to adding ether injection - there's the cheap way, and the not-so-cheap way. Cheapest way is to add an injection line that runs from your dashboard to the intake manfold. At the manifold, a jet is screwed in and the line hooks up to it. This jet prevents ether overload. That's what Deere uses on their industrial equipment that often gets parked away from electricity. Basically it's just a jet that screws into the intake, a 1/8" plastic line, and a fitting that fastens near your dash that you plug the ether can into.
The more expensive method is electric injection - also used by Deere, Case, etc. It's a little gizmo that holds an ether can and automatically injects a shot of ether when the engine is cranking.
Then, if you really want to spend money - there's the diesel-fired blcck heaters. It hooks right into the tractor's fuel tank. Works great - but costs a lot. Ford offers them now in the new diesel pickup trucks.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
