Almost all old gas tractors had a place in the front where you would put the crank to start it. Usually there was a nut attached to the front of the crankshaft wrere you would insert the crank to start the engine by hand. There are usually lots of old cranks to be had at auctions and sales in rural areas, many are interchangable, cranks were also supplied with cars in the old days.
You must be careful with cranking, ask any old timer who grew up with them and you will hear stories of guys who broke their arms starting old cars and tractors.
