Well, if it were me, I would be thinking fuel. You are in time well enough....did it run good or real rough when it ran for 5 minutes?

I assume you have checked the gas tank.

EXPLOSION? Doesn't sound good to me at all.
Like others have said don't bother cranking for more than about 5 seconds at a time. A lot of these old tractors that have been converted to 12 volt still have the 6 volt starter and putting 12 volts to it for more than 5 seconds or so will kill it. Don't be surprised if you cooked the starter...hopefully it will still be ok for ya.

Is there fuel in the sediment bowl and the tank?
I assume the petcock on the sediment bowl is open?

Take the carb off and go through it....I bet you find some garbage in there.

Once you have that all done try starting it as Allan recommended....use the choke very sparingly.
My H only needs the choke for about 1 revolution...these chokes mean business!

Do you have another tractor? If so maybe you can pull up beside your H and hook the hydraulic line into the other tractor to get the loader off the ground to allow you to tow it out of the way....
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress or lack thereof.
