We just purchased a 1944 Farmall A as best I can tell (based on engine only serial because the seat serial is missing). I am new to this but have found I really like these old tractors. More to come on the hodge podge we have in future posts like steel rear wheel on one side and heave cast wheel on the other but for today my question is starting. This tractor actually runs like a champ we have had it for a few weeks and my boys take it for a spin every day when they get home but we killed the started the other day and so we tried to hand crank it and no matter what video I watch or method we try it will not turn over. Bought a new started today and started right up with the starter have no issues again. Can someone help with why it will not start with hand cranking.
