We have a 826 with a fresh overhaul, a 786 with almost 9000 hrs on the engine, and a 3088 with 2500 hrs, all with the German 358. We used to have a late-model 686 that had about 7000 hrs with the 310. The 786 and 3088 start exellent down to 32 degrees without the block heater, and will start in the cold Minnesota winters with just a couple hours of the block heater being plugged in. The 826 is almost as good, although it does smoke heavy for about 5 minutes after a cold start. The 686, that was a different story. It needed the block heater at anything below 50 degrees, and was almost impossible to start around zero. I've always been very impressed with the power, fuel economy, and long life of these engines. The 826 had 8500 hrs when it was overhauled this winter, and the only reason it needed the overhaul is because one of the cylinder sleeve o-rings rotted out and allowed antifreeze into the oil pan. But that's going to happen to any 35 year old wet-sleeved diesel.
