First, I want to say thanks to those who responded about the crank placement. That helped out a lot. Now for a harder question. Been restoring this Super A and in the process rebuilt the touch control unit. I got all the manuals and the instructions that came with the kit and followed everything exactly as written. Or so I thought.... Got the tractor started today for the first time in many years. After I was sure that everything was good with the engine, I started moving the touch control levers. I pushed them one at a time forward and as expected, there was some air in the system, but the arms did go all the way forward. Went to move the control levers back and the rock shaft moved some, then the engine lugged down and I could tell that the pump was building a lot of pressure, but no movement on the shafts. I moved the levers forward again, and no change in the pump pressure or engine lugging. It finally lugged the engine down so far that it died. I took the opportunity to top off the reservoir. I started the engine and the load was no longer there. I moved the control lever back some and the engine lugged down again, but very little movement of the rock shaft. No change when I moved the controls forward.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I might have put together wrong? If it was air in the lines, surely it wouldn't load the engine down so far that it would die.
I'm in the process of reading the troubleshooting sections of the manuals I have, but thought someone with real world experience might help me pinpoint the problem.

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
