It ends with a first drive and loader/bucket test, but stops short of real work or detailed specs. Good for buyers curious about getting a sitting tractor running again.

Disconnect the negative lead, then reconnect negative and positive leads with a meter to test voltage. This battery read 12.32 volts and held its charge well.
Turn the key on to activate glow plug warm-up, wait for the indicator, then put the clutch in neutral and start the engine, releasing the clutch slowly.
Yes, the video explains the steering wheel only turns so far and the wheels are not directly connected, since it controls a hydraulic pump instead.
It is a shuttle shift transmission, not a hydrostatic drive, as stated at the start of the video.
