I have a SM diesel and the correct starting procedure is to have the compression lever forward to start. A definite "click" will be heard as the lever goes forward. This action changes the compression over from diesel to gas. The hand throttle show be lowered also.
As the engine starts, leave it run on gas for a few minutes.
To change from gas to diesel, pull the compression back and immediately advance the hand throttle up far enough to keep the engine from stalling.
Always allow the engine to cool the engine before shutting down and always shut the tractor off in the diesel mode.
To shut the engine off just simply lower the hand throttle.
Note: For the engine to run on gas, it needs current to the distributor so the the pull button must be pulled out. I push mine in after the tractor is running on diesel. Good luck.
One last comment> I have observed farmall 400 and 450's diesels start with the compression lever just opposite that of the M and SM diesel's.
