Glad you got lucky. I had one of those similar moments last month with the JD 2010. I'm converting from LP to gas. I have a makeshift fuel setup with a tank above the carb, and a line running down to supply fuel(mistake 1). The carb is a rebuild of mine, that I tested with air upside down, but not with actual fuel on the float. (mistake 2). I also used the screwdriver method to start, because the starter is on the left side where I can work the throttle and choke to get it running. (mistake 3) I was fiddling with the right ign timing to start, and got it a bit too advanced (mistake 4). Fuel filled the float bowl, and overfilled, I jumped the starter lug, and backfired, and spit fuel forward, and some splashed back from the frame, and when I let off the starter, I had ignition, but it was on the ground and left side of the tractor. Lucky, I had a bucket and some water nearby, and then I started tossing dirt from the ground until it was all out. Lucky I saved two vintage Porsches, and my work truck.
