Wen't out today to adjust the timing on our CC, and went to crank start it, stupid idea. I wrapped my hand around the crank, and she backfired. I got lucky and ended up with a slightly sprined wrist, and bruised arm. Remember, be careful with these old tractors, and try to keep your your whole hand on one side of the crank. Dug G.

When I was a kid we still had several pieces of equipment that had crank starts (they also had electric). A New Holland Baler, CASE VA, and two Dodge Pickups all ahd crank start ability. The man who worked on our ranch showed me how to crank start correctly (at least his method and I have yet to have a problem)(BTW I still have all that old equipment). What he did was make sure the ignition was off, set the throttle about 1/2 to 3/4, place your right hand over the crank (thum and fingers on one side) slowy turn over the engine two or three times, then engage the crank at the bottum of the cycle, turn the ignition on, give the crank an upward pull (again fingers and thumb on the same side of the crank, he did not crank but just pull up, if the engine didn't start, he turned off the ignition and went through the same proceedure) and without fail (well almost) the engines starts. I have done this in all kinds of climate and have always been amazed how easily those engines start.

The man that wrote that manual must have been left handed. I could not begin to crank my C with my left hand. I have also heard of people scarring there heads up by hitting them on the radiator while starting. Jonathan

I have A C and Two CC's - Was taught By Dad Back in the 40's To use left hand with just fingers around the crank. Still have had the old gal slap me a time or two.
