As I remember the A and B numbering systems from the days 43 years ago working in engineering, those letters indicated which part of the company had design control of the part.
How else would you start those tractors with the covered flywheel when the electric starter wouldn't work? Other than pulling them?
You went to the tool box, got a screw driver and pryed off the round sheet metal, spring-held cover, then used the wrench you always carried, un-bolted the steering wheel, took the steering wheel off by wiggiling and pulling, shoved that little casting into the steering wheel hub, finger tightening the nut onto it (so you wouldn't loose that nut, engage the hole with the cross pin in the flywheel just inside the cover and said a prayer or a cuss-word and stuggled to turn the steering wheel. I don.t recall those later model having a pepcock to release cylinder pressure, so the struggle would have been a good one if the tractor wasn't a easy starter!
I remember starting a 36A buried under a 225 two row mounted picker that all but covered the open flywheel. It was not short little stud like the picture, though, but with a longer rod. One would never try that without crawling around under the rig to open or close the petcocks!

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
