I almost got it from an allis wd45 when I was 15.
The battery was weak, so it was parked on a small hill. I got on,moved the gas lever to wide open, put in high and pushed the clutch in. Poped the clutch after it got moving but it didn't start. Went to try the stater, but the starter lever was missing. So I got off and walk to its side to close the starter switch directly. The tractor started on first quarter. Was still in high gear. I fell out of the way of the rear tire, then watched it for a few seconds. Ran after it, got on the drawbar, climbed around the seat and shut it off. That is also a dumb and hard thing to do when A tractor is running across a field, wide open. It seemed like the drawbar was jumping around half a foot. I am sure , not being 15 anymore, that my reflexes are slower and I can't run as fast, things would not go turn out as well if i do that again.
