I have been trying to start this tractor without success. I have opened the jets, changed the plugs, tried starter fluid, etc. The engine cranks, it fires as if it will start, white smoke comes out of the stack, but it will not kick over and start. Any ideas before I seek expensive professional help

Remove plugs, 3 squirts of oil in each side, Open petcocks.Have someone give you a pull.Leave gas shut off until it starts then turn back on.Before starting check your oil to see if over full from leaking gas valve or carb runover.Let us know how you get along .Earl

BBJAM sounds like to me you have the tractor flooded,a "G" only takes enough choke one revoluntion of the crankshaft,and maybe knot that much,and starting Fluid you had better get someone to help you that starting fluid is dangerous stuff later Gman

What year G? Is it electric or hand start? Are you getting fuel to the carb? With the pet-coxs open, is fuel coming out of them while trying to start it? If it fires it sounds like it is not getting fuel. Are you sure there is gas in the tank and bowl and turned on. Is the oil in the oil cup up to the full mark? You wouldn't be the first to try and start one with no fuel. Matter of fact it happened to me last week.
