Even though they don't have real high hours, I'd bet your compression is down enough that it makes some difference. Had my 4450 with 11,000 hrs. overhauled a few years back and now I can go out on days with temps in the 20's and it will start easily. Bought a used 4240 a few years ago that has a gear reduction starter. That helps too, although it's never been overhauled and won't start near as easily as the 4450.
