The secret is dont put your thumb around the crank, if it backfires it will come out of your hand. Try and start it only on the pull up not on the push down. Pull up is hand and crank at 6 oclock pulls up to about 9 oclock, push down is 12 oclock to 6. My choke rod comes out of the right side dog leg, you will have to find a way to choke it from the front or get someone to choke it at the dash.If ya flood it walk away and wait 20 mins.LOL [Reply]   [No Email]

Worst thing is he was working alone and had to drive himself to the hospital to get it worked on (the hand, not the tractor!) [Reply]  [No Email]
