Bulldog: I won't go quite as far as some of the rest did, reason being, I quite often start tractors from the floor or ground. I will say, if your going to do that, make damn sure everything is in neutral and the clutch is engaged or out. Don't let your arms come in contact with gear shift as your operating switch, starter or choke. I have seen these get bumped into gear during cranking, but never after the engine fires up. Of course one should never say, "never".
I do remember an old Chevy truck, (highway tractor) and I found this out one day on the road, clutch linkage came unhooked. I could shift gears while moving, but then how to get moving was the chalange. Tried putting it in 1st, cranking the starter, but with weight of trailer on fifth wheel, starter just didn't have it. I discovered by reving the engine and as I let off on accelerator I could put it in 1st gear if my timing was right. Did it several times after that, sucessful about 50%. It was raining heavily, thus shop at home seemed like a nice place to repair the clutch linkage.
SOOOooo maybe we best follow the idea of, in seat with clutch down. In other words, do as I say, not as I do.
