Make sure the oil level is up in the crankcase (read dipstick), make sure you have fuel, usually old fuel is OK, but you can get a fungus growing in it which will mess up the filters, make sure it has a charged battery and crank it up. What else needs to be done man, get on it and crank it up! I started one in a junkyard a couple of years ago, and on a hot day it fired up with out using the glow plugs. I don't know how long it sat, but I bought it and set it in the garage for 5 years and now have it installed and it cranked right up. That is all it needs, fuel, lube, battery and air, (like the kind you breath).
