I suspect the timing is over-advanced. Idles a little fast hot, sounds TERRIBLE with the advance lever pulled via the cold start device actually connected.

Will replace the 2 dead glow plugs that are obviously open circuit. I'm sure that doesn't help start-up.

Plenty of deferred maintenance needed:

Tbelt(s0, water pump, tensioner, head rebuild, glow plugs, glow plug circuit, cold start device (less critical), probably rebuild the injectors.

Has a fresh injection pump and is pretty "fast" for a diesel. If its ~60F out or warmer, needs only brief glow once in the morning while its cold, then good the rest of the day thereafter basically. No afterglowing or anything really needed.
