Please take what I am about to say in a positive way, but you should NOT have to "crank" your F-20 to start it. Any F-series tractor should start with just a couple of pulls on the crank handle. If the carb, magneto, and plugs are right, these are very easy to start.

Watch this video:

As you see, Bud doesn't "crank" the handle, just a few up-pulls and the tractor starts. All my F-series, (including the mighty F30), start without "cranking" them a few pulls on the crank, and away they go.

If you are going to invest time and a little money, make sure the carb, mag, wires, and plugs are in tip-top condition (timing as well), and your F20 will fire right up with very little effort.

Here is Bud again, with a 22-36, a real "beast" of a machine in the day:

Please don't take my post wrong, but there is absolutely no need to crank these.
