Clean Fuel and fairly clean looking oil. If you crank it over long enough you should have oil up to the rocker arms but not right off the bat. You can see if the valves are stuck by looking at valve springs and rocker arm assembly while cranking engine over. Using the hand crank you can do this but you really have to stretch your neck to see valves. Maybe work better with 2 people. I would clean plugs, squirt about 1 squirt of oil in spark plug wholes, do a spark test, check oil level, check coolant level, if you don't change oil be sure to unscrew the drain plug slowly until fluid starts to drip and if it is oil you can tighten plug back up but if it is water or antifreeze you better atleast drain it tell nothing but oil comes out. Do this oil water check thing before starting. It will try to mix it together if it is running. Also look over air cleaner and check for cleaness and no mud dobber nests. Also look for rat nest or bird nest around exhaust manifold. This will catch on fire when tractor gets warmed up. You might make sure it is getting gas down to the carb before trying the enitial start. Good Luck
