April: There are no dumb questions, however, there are a lot of stupid answers. To help prevent the later, please tell us what year the tractor was produced. That would be a good start for someone to help you find out important facts about your tractor. If you know the year of your tractor, immediately go to Ebay and search for an Operator's Manual for your tractor. This will answer most of your answers on how to service your tractor properly. I've known people who drained their engine oil and added the engine oil to the transmission case. Luckily someone discovered the mistake before any damage was done. My son once drained the transmission on his girlfriends new truck by mistake and overfilled the engine oil crankcase but he figured it out while checking the oil level. Point being, don't operate and service your tractor without an Operator's manual or some help from someone with experience with 2 cylinder tractors. I suspect your tractor is an older hand crank two cylinder tractor. The flywheel will turn left and right easily until the pistons start to develop compression on the firing cycle. If you have petcocks the compression will be lower until you close them after the tractor starts. If this doesn't make any sense you need to cease and get the manual. This forum is very helpful and I encourage you to use it answer your questions. It has saved me lots of time and money when I needed some help.

I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
