THE FSM has a chart showing the glow plugs getting hotter up to one minute in the on position. They do not say turn off and back on... just leave it on for a timed 30 to 45 seconds and see if that allows it to start.
Upgrading to the later pencil type plugs.....and doing a plug hole reaming to be sure no carbon is blocking the effectiveness of the plug operation would be advisable.
As your engine wears... it is common to use higher viscosity oil to fill the extra space where the bearings are worn away.... be sure to use Diesel rated oil.... I use straight 40 wt Delo 400... a pretty standard oil for our diesels...
