I think you're joking, but in case you're serious, it unscrews itself when the flywheel turns faster than the cranker (you). Just like every other crank.
We had an old farmer in our neighborhood who had the hand crank stub permanently mounted on an extra steering wheel so he didn't have to remove/remount the steering wheel for every start-up.
Another old guy had the flywheel cover removed on his electric start B, and he used a big Crescent wrench to spin the engine over. The ring gear teeth and starter bendix discouraged you from spinning the flywheel by hand. When the engine fired, the wrench would fly! Sometimes up - sometimes down. He'd always say, "Now step back boys" before he rolled it over, ha. Good entertainment for a kid!
A contractor I worked with used a big right angle drill, with adapters, to start a 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine on a big concrete saw. It made the generator grunt!
