Hi guys,
A friend of mine is having issues with his Mustang skidsteer not wanting to start. I figured this might be a good place to see if anyone can offer suggestions on what could possibly be the issue:

Started and ran for 30sec.. idled down and stalled. Then this... (see video)
Thought it was out of fuel (it was low)
Fuelled and bled system
A shot of ether almost makes it stop turning over (which I find odd).
I'm just getting into diesels myself, and suggested a tiny shot of ether to see what it did - IE if it roared to life a little more. It causing the cranking to almost stall out makes me think something else is wrong rather than it just being a fueling / air in the fuel system issue.
Hoping those of you with much more experience can maybe tell from the video what some possible causes could be so that we can get this thing going again. Saskatchewan is getting some CRAZY snow fall and he needs to dig out!
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
Rabin
