Their basic operation is different from a passenger vehicle in that Ford tractors have two gear levers, an engine stop control, and the throttle is controlled by a lever mounted next to the steering wheel.

  1. Engage the hand brake.

  2. Push in the engine stop control.

  3. Step on the clutch pedal and put the high/low gear lever in the neutral position.

  4. Pull the throttle control arm down halfway.

  5. Turn the key clockwise until the engine engages.
