Hi Pete23: I was told Waukesha wanted hand crank for OIGINAL design consideration for THEIR work which most likely did not consider that IHC would later on want to adapt this design idea to tractors. Waukesha original design was for various industrial engines. There were other multi fuel engines around in those early days too. Gas start then after warmed up switch to distellate. My comments about hand crank were not about later designs being used by IHC. The basic idea of hand crank was for Waukesha and may have been a smaller cubed unit and for certain many years before IHC building the first MD. Quite likely IHC was the one wanting electric starters designed for MD because of more cubes. There were many changes going on in industry after WW-1. Probably so many ideas being used that it may be best to NOT try and add and background to any topic about early designs being tried. ag
