When I got my Grey 82 it had 0 functional glow plugs, and we managed to get it started and onto a trailer.

The key is going to be warming the engine. plug the block heater in, start a fire under it, something along those lines. (WARNING: starting a fire under it may be a bad idea depending on oil leakage and such)

Whats your ambient temperature currently?

also, sometimes a little throttle helps, sometimes a lot helps or hurts, throttle by feel.

my dads 83 had frozen glow plugs, one broken off. started the motor and it blew them out quite quickly.
