Re: weak moment
Is that a flywheel on the left side of the john deer? If so; that is one seriously big A$$ flywheel
that’s just a little to close to your left leg for comfort.

Re: weak moment
I think the flywheel may be a drive pulley for a leather belt to run implements...this was before PTO's !! Not sure about an old Deere though....Whitetop...water heated under pressure beyond 212F creates steam that is useable...as long as it remains under pressure it can be controlled and used....when it's not under pressure it boils at 212 F...boiling point goes up as pressure goes up.....when you take 250 degree water under pressure and realease the pressure thtu a break in the boiler...ALL the water turns to steam NOW with bomb-like results. Imagine piloting a steam engine back then with that huge boiler in front of you...there were no ooops when it came to low water level !

Re: weak moment
If I remember correctly there is a compression petcock on the back side of that flywheel, or there abouts. You open the petcock to get it on the compression stroke by turning that flywheel. That's how you start it. Most everything else, Farmall, Allis Challmbers etc, had hand cranks out the front that when they kicked back, broke your wrist. Jezz, somebody wake up moparts. He's a Deere dealer I think. We just built those big red axial flow combines,
And Bob, it's a petcock, not a pet cock.
