8. Battery cables may need to be replaced, Currently available 12 volt cables are too small & offer too much resistance to properly operate a 6 volt system. Replace with ought (0) or double ought(00) sized cable from battery to starter mounting bolt and battery to starter switch. Be sure to solder ends on and cover with large shrink wrap to insulate connections from future corrosion.
13. Replace battery & hook positive side of battery to ground attached as close to starter as possible, (mounting bolt) and negative side of battery to start switch.
( Dis-regard the above if converted to 12 volts)

17. Pull choke rod out, hit starter switch, push choke rod back in as soon as it fires once, or after four revolutions.
Once tractor starts walk around & turn fuel on & let it run at 1/3 throttle for 5 mins to warm up.
If tractor will not fire or start, check points for pitting & reset, clean rotor and rotor cap contact points. Check condenser.
Double, triple check firing order on distributor cap.
If it still will not fire or start, proceed with electrical trouble shooting as mentioned above.
