[Christ]

I did finally get a new starter and put it in, and got the thing to start once, but I need a good battery and a booster box or something... it just doesn't seem to want to start.

I have a feeling I need glow plugs, but it won't even start on ether. The battery doesn't have enough juice to keep it turning over fast enough, and when the ether gets in there, it just stops it from turning completely, which is to be expected with a weak battery.

In this case, they should call it "Stopping Fluid".

When I did get it to start, I had the battery hooked up, with jumper cables hooked to my Father's Blazer running at ~2kRPM for a boost charge.

Can't wait to get some extra cash and get a battery so I can get 'er started and take 'er for a test drive.
