neat seeing it run! does that tractor use a pony motor to start it? not sure of what components are in a magneto vs distributer? good luck restoring the tractor.
That is the best way, one can turn the engine over slow and get the oil pressure up, check for spark in this case find out about the clutch and listen for ugly noises from the engine plus get the valves to get a chance to move and settle in the seats some so when the gas is introduced it will run or not. lol
