My father had an arm broken by a Model T that he was spinning. Question for those who"ve had experience with battery ignition on Farmalls: Is there enough automatic retard in the distributor to keep the tractor from kicking? Agree fully with the advice on checking the impulse for engagement. On some magnetos, like the F4, you can hear the pawl dropping into the notch in the coupling. It makes a little jingling noise as the pawl drops into the notch. I always listened for this on F-12s and F-20s. On our 10-20 with the E4A and manual impulse set, it was a good idea to watch the pawl to make sure not only that it was in the first time you pulled up, but that it did not fly out if the engine popped a couple of times but did not run. All impulses--as far as I know--have some sort of over-center spring device that keeps them out of engagement once they have been thrown up hard enough. Hand cranking does not give enough impetus to flip the pawl up and keep it up(I was thinking of saying "enough impulse to flip" but that would be a corny joke and I wouldn"t think of making a corny joke). The engine firing two or three times might give enough of a spin to throw the pawl up out of engagement.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
