My cable is probably messed up, but I am not yet interested in making amends to allow easier starts. Maybe in a few years

I don't think a W115 diesel needs to be any more complex to start than it was new in order to deter would-be thieves.

Maybe it could be oiled or something? I don't remember the starting knob on my '74 240D being hard to pull at all.

Well, you refer to my wimp and his mother here. I would guess it takes less pull than I am giving it in a properly set up car. It has gotten harder to pull recently, but I may have messed up the routing of the cable with recent valve adjustment, glow plug replacement and rebuild on injectors.

What it does do is deter those fools who get a very crazy notion to steal a classic clunker
