F-20 add on

Picked up a 1938 F-20 that someone added a starting gear to directly behind the fan belt - the belt is a little
frayed (not the original leather) from slight contact with the gear over the years. There is no starter now, just
a flat 12 inch diameter (approximately) solid 1/4 inch thick gear with teeth on the outside of course. No obvious
sign of where it was mounted - probably underneath somewhere, not to concerned about it - but I would assume
someone had fabricated this. Iv'e seen them mounted elsewhere but has anyone saw this version/placement of
"homemade" electric start?
 
some of the farmer fixes/inventions are kind of neat. A friend of mine has a JD A that has the hydraulic pump driven off a gear bolted to the flywheel. Does work for hydraulics but a little dangerous to turn flywheel as it is a handstart.
 
Add-ons like that vary all over the spectrum.Limited only by the imagination of the man building it. Kind of cool in my book. Be neat if you could reproduce it and get it to working. Garanteed to be the only one out there,and a DEFINITE conversation starter(no pun intended LOL)
 
AL, It may be an add on but! Sear Roebuck sold a kit for electric start on F-20 that mounted on the front belt pulley.
I believe there were two U bolts that mounted to the frame rail. Not sure who made it.
I have seen one many years ago. Not fresh in my head anymore.
may be someone can post a picture or give more info.
 
I saw one in Albert Lee MN, with an automatic transmission flywheel on the PTO shaft, and a chevy starter bolted on.
