This is a process I've been through many, many times.



1. Pray some idiot didn't shut the tractor down while it was running on kerosene.
2. If God didn't answer, switch from kerosene to gasoline, drain the carburetor.
3. Open the compression release petcocks
4. Roll the flywheel over, get it on a compression stroke and pull it through.
5. If it fires more than once, run around the tractor closing the petcocks before you set the barn on fire.

Early electric start John Deeres had enclosed flywheels. They supplied an adapter so you could take the steering wheel off and use it to turn the flywheel if the electric starter didn't work.
