I'm assuming the engine is not stuck. Make sure the clutch releases, too. Generally, it will save you time and aggravation if you check and correct a few things before you try to start it. For instance, disconnect the battery and check the cables and terminals for corrosion. Put the battery on slow charge (check the water first) while you work on the rest of the tractor. Clean the area where the ground cable connects to the frame. At the minimum, drain the carb and gas tank and add fresh fuel. Better still, remove the gas tank and clean it out first. My A had 50 years worth of bark in it from checking the gas level with sticks. There was also a very nice gasket that looks like it came from the top of a gas can. It wouldn't hurt to remove the carb, disassemble, clean and adjust it. May not be necessary. Remove the distributor cap and rotor, visually inspect electrical conductors. Inspect cap for cracks. Dry out the points and clean them with a file or emory cloth. Remove spark plugs and check the business end of them; inspect plug wire terminals. Check engine oil level, at least. Changing it would ensure there is no water or antifreeze in the pan. Check the antifreeze level. Check hydraulic fluid level; it is bad for the pump to run dry. For safety's sake, don't give in to the temptation of cranking it standing beside it. You never knoww, she might start right up. Get on so you don't get run over. I'm sure there are a dozen other things, but its a start. I use my Super C a lot, it has been a good addition. Good luck, Bill
