I'd avoid the ether though, get the glow plugs working and see if it will start without the ether.Now oil, thats correct, you need thicker oil like 15W40, 20W50 etc. I believe there is a hydraulic oil that is suitable, but i don't know what grade off hand, standard hydraulic oil is too thin and can cause pump failure. I personally run 15W40 or 20W50 and have never had any issues.The foam is simply air in the system, as you had the system pretty well empty it will take some time to get it all out. When i re-built a machine and i had everything drained it took weeks to get it running just rite. Run it for a bit then let it sit, the bubbles will go to the top of the tank so non foamy oil will be drawn in. Give it time, it will get there!</blockquote>
