IronMan.......first starts are always a little nerve wracking.......but we minimize stuff that can go wrong by belting up first and checking for governor action and such. The MAIN thing to know BEFORE starting is......how to shut it down!
When I was a kid our neighbor started his old B JD but forgot to take the bean can off the exhaust--ended up with 3 stitches in his head when he also forgot to look where it was coming down---ouch!!
@tylersfarms That is a 1912 model. It's a transition tractor built between the end of the 45hp and 60hp Mogul tractors. Some parts have the later 30-60 part numbers.
Very frightening... but beautiful in a sense. =]

Getting the cover off the stack would have been a good thing to do before starting. That guy climbing made me nervous.

Wasn't this thing built up almost entirely of loose parts?

available, and EASIER THAN HORSES!

We sold IHC when I was growing up - my Granddad used to tell me about these old monsters.
There at about 1:07 I kept saying "come on baby... come on baby" to myself over and over - I couldn't help it.
By the way - be sure to remove the old beer can from the exhaust pipe before the engine lights off :-)

That was the real deal too. A little fine tuning and a good glug of priming gas to the rear cylinder makes it a real easy starter.
