first thing is to make sure it will turn over by hand.trying to break one loose by pulling is sometimes not the best way.Next make sure you have brakes on the pulled tractor.then put it in high gear,and give it a pull.(after making sure you have gas and fire of course)a w series tractor will bust right off if its firing correctly.and they are not hard to crank.one reminder though,if you do decide to crank it,never ever wrap your thumb around the crank. simply roll engine over to compression turn crank until you can pull up, lay handle in palm of hand and give it a sharp pull up.all it has to do is rollover tdc once and fire and it will run.your wc probably will still have a mag unless someone has changed it over the years.well worth your time to go ahead before you start and clean the points. good old tractors,dont know if i could get used to those hand brakes again though! one word of warning DO NOT trust the spring on your crank to disengage handle from front pulley.they have been known to hang and it can very easily knock you down and beat you to death!before you do use your crank inpect it for grooves where the pins on shaft engage.if it has grooves either file them away,or Replace parts with new.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
