You told us last time that this tractor crank started with the original carb, you then changed the carb to a brass one and now it won't start with the crank. That tells me something is not quite right in your brass carb. F12s can be very touchy starters, you need to check and double check everything in that carb from float level to every nook and cranny in every passage. You may need to adjust the jets a little at a time until you hit the sweet spot. Play with the throttle position..etc etc... until you find it.
As for using starting fluid in a hand crank tractor. That may just be the worst piece of advice ever given on here. These tractors can and have hurt/killed people during a kickback. This is why everyone advises you to use only upstrokes and tuck your thumb. Just a touch of either would compound the kickback drastically. If you want to use it go ahead, its your arm, but I would never ever recommend using it to anyone else unless using a belt or pull starting the tractor.
