Does everyone agree with this? If true, is there any practical way to
bypass the starter??

Bypass the starter? for what? Thats about like saying bypass the engine

I need a second opinion on the following account of a compression test from
the seller of a 1985 300TD wagon. He himself is a tech and administered the

My mechanic says the readings are way too low to allow the engine to start
in cold temps due to worn rings. He says a new engine rates at 400, and
that 275 is the absolute limit. Any comments?
Those numbers are way to low. Stuck rings, junk engine or leaky testing.

Don't risk it and assume junk engine or stuck rings?

The Harbor Freight models were known for leaks. Still I would assume
that is a relatively correct reading. However, if the price is right its
a core on a SLS head.
