do you hvae a glow timer that might be on the fritz?
or do you have a manual override button which you press to glow?
if you search forum.ih8mud.com for "wilson switch" you can integrate a manual override into your glow circuit.. might help you glow and start first time everytime.
i think the glow plugs on my 40 were on their way out, so i'd press this button for 1thousand2thousand...up to 5 and it would catch first time everytime.

They had different glow plug systems fitted. There was a slow glow and quick glow system. Model and production date detemine correct glow plugs to be fitted. You may have some not working thats why it takes a few go's or a voltage drop problem in the system.

There are 6v and 11v glow plugs. I think you should have the 6v ones. I bought new glow plugs for my 60 and they gave me 11v ones it then took ages to glow. With the 6v ones glowed real quick.
Hope this helps

When I had my 60 seriers 2H. All I did was when my glow plug light went out I would wait and listen for a click to sound and then try to start vehicle.
The light went out quicker than the timer. you may wanna check and see that this isnt your cause

there is actually 3 diffent voltage glow plugs for the 2h you can run 6v on a 12 v system will glow quick just the plug wont last long just check the volltage with a volt meter at the plugs when glowing and get the right plugs.
