Being in the seat anytime you start it is a good idea, but not always feasible. I have some of the older "GREEN" tractors and the only way you can start them is by standing in front of the left wheel and spinning the flywheel. I learned early on to check and recheck the gear shift, and disengage the clutch, and set the brakes. I always run them out of fuel to shut them off for the day. After one of them had sat for several days, I was spinning the flywheel to show a friend how the timing marks registered when the mag tripped. Figured there was no fuel in the carb and never thought it would fire... but it did.Guess my fuel shut off wasn't perfectly seated.... tractor fired and took off running for a few seconds. It wasn't in gear, but I hadn't checked it out of carelessness. Scared the CRAP out of me, but my buddy was too impressed with how easily it started to notice. I NEVER turn the flywheel at all without cking the gear shift and dont' start my RED tractors from the ground at all.
