When I was a kid we had a Case VAC, and for many years the electric starter would not work. So we used the crank, and the VAC would start easily in any weather. I found that it had to have a battery hooked up for it to start, but that battery did not have to have almost any charge in it.
Cranking the VAC was easy--I was kind of a little kid, and I am sure that I was only about 9 or 10 when I first crank started it. I never had any problems with the crank doing anything I didn"t want it to.
Later I figured out a way to fix the starter terminal by retapping it, so the starter would work again. We got a new battery and had to tinker with the generator to get that reliable. But even with the electric starter working, we always kept the crank in the bracket where it was supposed to be stored on the tractor. Just in CASE!
