Women assembling the Sears Catalog circa 1942. Notice they are all wearing the same "uniform" dress.

Roll the flywheel over until one piston comes up on compression
Pull HARD on the flywheel and hope it fires.
If it starts firing, set the choke at 1/2 closed and run around the tractor closing the compression releases

If you are in a field with dry grass or straw you will probably be stamping out the fires started by the flames shooting out of the compression releases.
And that's only getting it STARTED.
