A fusible link is nothing more than a solid wire typically two sizes smaller (4 number sizes) than the wire it is connected to with a special non-flammable plastic coating. You could...
The resistor block was put in to drop the voltage from 24 down to 12 (half of the voltage coming in). Your problem is that the glow plugs are not getting hot enough when the temp is low. When you convert to 12v, you should bypass the resistor. Do this and she will start first try.
Check your fuel pump by opening the drain plug on the filter and cranking. If that is okay, check your glow plug relay (it is clicking on, isn't it?) then your glow plugs.
A third route you might want to consider is to get a connector off a junked CUCV and connect it to the military connector on the trailer and then wire that directly to a civilian connector. No mods at all to the existing wiring harness.
