The most obvious solution is to get it inside a garage somewhere it can warm up enough to start on its own.

Other questions in my mind are the condition of the glow plug system and the valve adjustment. I just checked the weather in Fort Wayne (I assume that's your area or reasonably close to it) and it's warmer there than it is here. My junk is high-mileage but has good plugs and current valve adjustment and has been starting without having to plug in.
