We almost never tried to hand crank start out MD in the 1950s because it was so hard to turn with the crank. The few times we tried it in cold weather when the batteries were dead (dead batteries were a common problem back then. Today's batteries are much superior!) the effort usually ended in failure. It was too heavy to pull effectively with our other tractor which was a Super A. (The Super A could nearly always be started no matter the temp) So what we would do is flat belt up the Super A to the MD belt pulley and crank it that way with the belt pulley. Takes two people (as does pull starting) but it worked pretty good.
