I am suggesting the OP check this relay, and using the doghead as a reference to where it is located. In my opinion battery cables do not explain a no start twice and randomly start 3rd time. Sounds more like a faulty relay to me.

I believe it is next to those relays. Here is the doghead relay mod post. It will show you what the original looks like. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/doghead-starter-relay-modifcation.60960/

There is a relay under the dash(middle) that is related to the starter. Check out the doghead relay for more info. Because you are 12v you don't really need to upgrade to the bigger relay, but you might want to test it. If that relay isn't the issue, might be time to get the starter checked...

Welcome! I agree you look to be converted to 12 volts on the batteries. Do you still have a wire going to the large resistor on the firewall and then from the resistor to the glow plug relay? That is how the factory 24volt system converted to 12volts for the glow plugs. This might be related...
