I would first get winter fuel in it. I would also change the fuel filters to know it is ok. Then I would change to winter oil in the crankcase. SAE 10W CIH Diesel No1 or 10W-30. Lighter oil cuts cranking power. Winter diesel gets rid of any gel in the diesel fuel. If your batteries are both good and are 600-700 CCA then check your grounds. Finally if hard cranking persists take the starter to a competent electrical shop, replace the brushes and true up the commutator on a lathe. Then with a block heater that engine should start like a snap.
