The Deutz I have now (the last of the non electronic engines) is the same.

THe old international harvesters are indirect injection, so require lots of glow plugs. Mine a 434. apparently if you want easy starting, you should buy the fergi 135 diesel with the 3cylinder diesel (in the old 40hp size )

No glow plugs on the 165 - you’re right, starts almost instantly even after sitting for months. 👍

Yup, those Perkins engines in the Massey Ferguson’s are good starters ,

and the 1/2 Perkins in some Fords.
