Engine rotation

[Tc Crawford]

I joined and introduced myself. I have a model 71 I got to restore. Real new to old tractors. I’m a small engine guy for friends and neighbors and know my way around them. So I’m working on getting wiring and sll components for the starting system. I. The meantime I’d like to start the old girl. So which way does this old Kohler rotate to run? Be nice to know before I start putting a rope to the flywheel. Also for when I get my generator back to hook it up right. Thanks guys

Cub Kohlers run CCW.

Be taking more as o dismantle right now it’s all about getting it wired and starting well. Engine was supposed to have been completely rebuilt back in March. We’ll see Once running I’ll pull it apart and get it looking good Thanks

Don't know if it's me being tired or what, but that looks like a bigger motor than a 7hp. in there. By the looks of the flywheel screen, I would guess at least a 12hp.
Nice tractor though.
