There is a fellow with a B Farmall that starts it with a rope wrapped around the rear belt pulley. Sometimes I think he deliberately stalls the engine to show off. I wonder how safe it is if the rope would stay wrapped on the pulley.
When I was a young fellow I used to start our F-12 with the pulley by hand like you would a John Deere only it turns the other way. Ours had a overdrive unit on it and I would sometimes put it in high range and standing on the platform would turn the pulley with my right foot and start it. P.S. this tractor usually started very easy.
