jump starting from another vehicle can cause problems with alternators it is best to turn engine off on the vehicle being used.
You set fire to them to clean them... after removing from the tractor!he was used to oil bath filters .don't know if he ever set one of them on fire but it wouldn't have harmed if it did
Most things here are fitted with Anderson sockets wired straight to the battery and the workshop jump leads have a set of Anderson sockets breaking them at each end. As @Spud said nothing to beat a good battery but errors do happen sometimes leaving ignitions and things on and battery's are well buried in some modern kit.
Make some with the biggest, toughest crocodile clips you can find and high quality copper welding cables. Tape them together in a staggered fashion so that they do not spark whilst you are carrying them with one end attached to a battery ...

you get lots of sparks & the leads get real hot real quick . . .What happens if you put the jump leads on the wrong way round on a vehicle with an ECU ?
When connecting it should be positive to positive first, then negative to negative, disconnection is negatives first, positives second as it reduces the risk of accidentally shorting out on the chassis when 3 connections are in place. That is of course assuming that we're talking about negative earth systems!umm, you shouldn’t really carry them with one end attached to a battery
Earth to earth, then positive to positive
For sluggish engines in winter, always good to have the magic can in the toolbox.
In fact, a lot of North American machinery has an ether bottle & plumbing built in as standard equipment in cold climates

Yes, it’s not for heavy handed amateurs to play withThe big difference between an aerosol and ether is the ether delivers a proper metered dose. A big squirt of that above or EasyStart will detonate in the cylinders which will clean the piston rings up a bit too much which loses you compression and makes the engine "addicted" to the stuff in future.
