[AJD] 1st Tractor

[Robert M. Massengale]

Terry -

Thanks for opening that door... guess it's time for me raise an eyebrow.  I have 
never sat on a tractor much less started one.  It's a '41 "B" handstart that's been 
sitting for 18 months... was running when parked and the engine is loose.  Don't 
have an operator's manual yet.

Chock the wheels, check oil level, coolant, and pour in some gas.  Check to make 
sure it's in neutral and give the flywheel a spin (clockwise/counter clockwise?). 

Would appreciate any comments from the list that would keep me from hurting the 
"B".. or myself.
