Tractors are another matter. I was still using a hand crank to start one of these in the late seventies. I think ours was built in 56. [Linked Image]


I've got that same tractor, mine's a 54 but you can't hand crank it no more, hell the 6 volt wont even crank it. You need 12 volt now. I bumped up the compression a lot grin


Something clever here.
