Had a bit of trouble starting this thing recently. Have to turn engine about
Any thoughts?

These have an electrically operated (through a thermal switch if memory serves) cold start advance soloniod on the injector pump, which if failed will give poor cold starting.
After that- check for tight valve clearances.
Tim..
When you say that you have checked the glow plug resistance, have you actually disconnected each one and checked each plug's resistance individually?
Yes.
It would be rather silly measuring them all at once, wouldn't it.

You would be surprised, I often overlook something obvious on other people's problems simply because I assume they have knowledge that they don't, eg: is there any fuel in it? Is the coolant topped up.? Both have been obvious questions in hindsight that I didn't ask first time, so please don't take offence.
