Low fuel delivery and/or broken top rings will both do it. I ran an Allis Chalmers for two years with no top rings at all. Needed ether even when it was 90 degrees F outside - and ran awful when it was first started. Once good and hot though, it ran okay and had full power.
Even if the original problem was fuel delivery - it usually leads to broken rings anyway - due to over ether use.
Many older diesels use coventional piston rings - square- cut - instead of the pressure-sealing triangle shaped rings (Keystone). The older style rings break very easily. Sometimes, even a newly rebuilt engine can be ruined with a few mornings of ether starting.
