The 460D sure is cold blooded; like others have mentioned:
Make sure all the glowplugs are good and hold them about a minute.
Under 40F, plug in a tank heater until the manifold feels warm (IIRC, I get by with 1500W in any weather but it is in the shed out of the wind and cold days do take several hours).
Good batterties [assuming to the starter is good] are a must; you can go with 2) 12Vs in parallel instead of the 2) 6Vs in series as well; regardless make sure you have some serious cranking power not just the cheapest battery of the right dimensions.
Don't leave a charger on the batteries while holding the glowplugs: that can cause them to burn out.
