John Deer Model H magneto work

Hi, I am in posession of a full restored Model H(the basic two short wheels in the front) but it is in factory condition. 6v, no starter, etc. My grandpa mentioned that there was something wrong with, I think, the magneto. I have absolutely no clue how that system works and I also could use help identifying it and the proper procedure to turn it over(dont want to break my arm)
 
Wow! Where to start? The magneto is on the right side of the tractor sitting on the seat. It will have two wires coming out of it and going to each
spark plug. To start the tractor assuming it is running order, make sure the gas is on and the choke is closed . Turn the engine with the flywheel
which is on the left side over a couple times and turn the choke off. Turn the engine over a few more times until it cranks. Maybe you should
google how to hand start a John Deere H and it will show you a lot more on YouTube than we can tell you in these comments. Have fun with it!!
 
The ones I have don't need to be choked unless
very cold then maybe after they start just on
then right back off.
Normally they start on the first half turn.
