I grew up on an MD, and I would say it was a very tough tractor. We worked that tractor real hard, farming 400 acres with it. We plowed, disked, pulled a field chopper did heavy belt work and all sorts of other things. It got minimal maintenance and the only problem I ever knew of was with the fuel filters (there is that minimal maintenance). Also, we never followed the shut down procedure of switching to gas for shut down, we just pushed the diesel speed control to shut off. My Dad bought the tractor new around 1950 and it was used for more than 20 years until he quit farming. As to the hand crank. You could start it with the hand crank, but it took a real man, and we seldom used that method. We did start it on occasion when the batteries were down by pulling it with another tractor, or connecting the belt pulley to another tractor (usually the Super A). And yes, you can direct start these engines. We never did it on the one my Dad had, but the one I have now has been started that way. It takes a couple of shots of ether and it will start. I only did that when I first got it because I could not get it to start on the gas side at first because of ignition problems.
