I used to cut hay John Deere D with a no.5 sickle mower. To small to turn the flywheel to start the D. I had to put my foot again the back tire and turn the flywheel. A lot of great memories on that green paint!
To get it in one turn you need to understand the 4 stroke cycle and the timing of the 2 cylinders and then the markings on the flywheel. This is a 2 cylinder engine that has the two combustion events 180 degrees apart on the crank. So it goes bang on cylinder one the crank comes around only half a turn (180) and it goes bang on cylinder two. Then it coasts another turn and a half (540 degrees) before cyl 1 hits again. Bang bang coast coast coast coast bang bang etc. To start this then you need to bring the engine to just before the timing mark on cylinder one and bring it firmly through so the mag fires on cylinder 1 going bang and that touches off 2 and then it should make it around. Too many people try to start it by cranking the exhaust stage or they dont get a spark on 1 and then 2 fires and the engine doesnt make it around to 1 again. Slowly bring it to 1st cyl. Then fire it. Pay attention to the timing Mark's on the flywheel.

Great sound!!
sore arms, big smiles, beautiful tractor.
55 years ago that was me!
I doesn't really matter if the clutch is ingaged or disengage wen u start it but it's easier on the bearing in there if it engaged.
With the clutch in you are turning the transmission too. If it’s in gear it’s a lot harder. Habit of pulling the out is always a good idea.
Very nice
Why do they run so rough?
That is the way all 2 cylinder engines sound, E.
@@danbeske8593 weelll seen another vid of the same model that runs absolutely spotless. This one seems a bit rougher
I've seen people get them first crank. Its all in where the pistons are at when you spin the flywhele
