This Vid's for you! Hand crank start......the right way

Posted by Tom Fleming on August 05, 2013 at 04:33:01 from (67.20.233.75):

I continue to see posts on this forum around hand cranking their tractors. Some say "easy", others say it is a "death wish" waiting to happen.

I say, if fuel delivery and ignition are right, it is easy AND safe. You have to know what you are doing, and you have to pay attention to small details. If you get lazy, you get hurt. However, IHC didn't become the largest tractor seller in the 20's and 30's by sending all their customers to the hospital because of hand cranking accidents.

The guy in the video is nearyly 90 years old, and his machinery is maintained correctly. BTW, the 22-36 was a BIG horse in the day. Notice his technique:
