I have a few tips. Only crank in 1/2 turns. Do not try to spin it all the way over. Pull up on the crank. Engage it on the bottom and pull up 1/2 turn. Be careful not to wrap your thumb around the crank like your holding a bat or a golf club. Keep your thumb on the same side as your fingers. Don't hold onto the crank any tighter than you have to. If the engine kicks back, you want it to pull out of your hand, not your sholder out of its socket. As far as throttle settings and choke, every tractor is different. My Farmall A for example starts like this. 3 cranks 1/3 throttle no choke. Normally starts 9 times out of 10. If not. 1 crank with choke and then crank without choke. Starts every time. One last piece of advice. If you have a JD, just buy a Farmall to pull it, it would be a lot easier.
