"scheute also nicht vor dem Versuch zurück" means "so he wasn't afraid to try it", so he just went for it and tried it. "sich drücken vor etwas" means something like "to avoid doing something", especially avoiding uncomfortable things. "Leicht zu ertragendes Dienstjahr" means "a service year which is easy to bear".
So he tries to avoid doing a year of service even though it's easy to bear anyway.
I hope you understand, otherwise just ask me again!

So he did not shy away from trying to shirk away from an easy year of service with such cheap, tried-and-tested tricks.
