I am okay, except for pride... tractor sat on left side for about 30 min at most before I got it flipped back over, and it has sat for 24 hrs without trying to start. I have read it is a good idea to remove glow/plug/or injector and turn by hand before trying to start with key in case there is oil in the cylinders. According to my shop manual I have to remove cylinder head cover to remove glow plugs or injectors and it looks like I have to remove fuel tank first. Also, to turn by hand do I need to remove radiator and fan to access , or can I just try to turn belt? There is not much access to tractor as it have FEL frame attached. Also, I am not very mechanically inclined. Should I try to start with key first to see what happens?
