You may have a Thermostart unit since this is a Ford tractor. It will be located on the intake manifold and will have an electrical wire running to it as well as a fuel line.

Put some additives in your fuel to prevent jelling if you have really cold temps or use #1 diesel. If you have a block heater, plug it in for a few hours before trying to start. If you can keep the machine in a warm place, that's even better.
