Failure to drain the float bowl of kerosine just turning on the petrol tap was one of the most common reason for hard to start Fordson Tractors. The grey smoke when first started indicates this was the problem of a petrol kerosine mix.

She was going to fire up when she was good and ready!

Makes me cringe when people spin them! P. L. E. A. S. E DON'T! This is when they'll kick ya arse to the moon. Just keep plugging from the bottom to 9 0 clock. They'll go when THEY are ready! That's a Standard Fordson for you.

He though he might have had some dodgy fuel. poss eve a bit of water in it, but she turned in the end. all the best for the New Year matey.

Two guys with no idea how to start a Fordson! I can say this as I’ve been there and done this too. It must look hilarious to any on the old guys still around, that actually know the correct way start one.

A mate of mine broke his arm trying to start a David Brown cropmaster this way!
