First off, new battery would be a good investment. No need to be hand cranking just because of a battery issue. Second off, you really only need to full choke about 2 strokes of the engine. Should fire and run after that. If it fires off on full choke, it will only run for minimal seconds before it floods itself out making it hard to restart if left at full choke. However, if really cold you may need to run at 1/4 or so choke untill it warms up a bit. With tractor not running, turn gas on. If gas runs out of bottom of carb you got either a float problem or stuck or bad needle valve in carb. If gas runs out of carb only after choking while trying to start, then clearly you are over choking which is the reason the gas is coming out of it. When hand cranking mine in cold weather, I full choke 2 cranks, then reduce choke to about 1/3 or 1/4 and then crank untill it fires with throttle opened up to about 1/4. Just my 2 cents.
