Sounds like each one of these old tractors has its own personality and therefore its own magic sequence of events to achieve startup in the cold.

Here's what works on my 850:
Clutch down, key on, throttle about 1/2, one thumb on the starter and the other hand ready to pull the choke. Then I push the starter and pull the choke out full for just a moment then I let it go. My choke seems to be spring loaded and returns to open position when I let go. If it doesn't start immediately I pull the choke out again for just a moment and that usually does it. If not I shut the key off and wait a minute then try again.

After it starts I leave my foot on the clutch for a minute or two and then let it out very slowly or the engine will die. Also, my tractor wants to die until it warms up so I keep my hand on the choke. When it starts to stumble, I give it 1/2 choke for just a second and it usually recovers. I probably have some easily fixable problem that would cure the "dies when cold" symptom, but I don't know what it is yet.
