I guess I just disagree with about everyone. If you feather the clutch on the TD-6 to get it started you are not keeping anything locked in and will disengage it when the TD-6 fires. If you are going through a gearbox set in reverse you are spinning the TD-6 slow and you may have to let off the clutch to actually know it is running on it's own. It won't have enough torque to damage anything at a slow speed, especially if you're starting it on gasoline. It has no torque on gasoline. My TD-14 would not even lift the blade on gasoline. I've never had a tractor that you couldn't lug down with the PTO so I don't see the issue with using the PTO to start.
That being said, if you are working it, you need to be able to get the 706 behind it to restart it if you stall it or have a failure. I have a CAT 12 motor patrol with a bad pony motor and have pull started it with an M for years. Big issue if I stall it with the blade in the ground, lot's of hand cranking on the blade lift drive to get it up where it can be pulled.
But it looks like you can get a started on eBay.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
