I have 1955 M-H Pacer and the crank shaft nut will accept a tool for hand crank starting. How do I build one? I'm not sure of the dimensions for length of handle etc. Thanks, Bob

You'll have to measure the diameter in the nut where a steel bar will center into. Then you can insert the steel bar into the nut and mark the position where the cross piece will go through to catch as far into the points on the nut as possible. Then drill a hole through the steel bar, probably about 3/8 inch for a 3/8 drive pin to have a press fit with enough extension on each side to catch the points.

Then you will need a torch to heat and bend the steel bar to a right angle somewhere outside of the tractor to leave enough room for the crank to rotate, and miss hitting anything. Then about a foot down the steel bar you will heat it and bend it at a right angle away from the tractor so that it is parallel with the part of the steel bar that inserts into the tractor. Then you will want to cut off any extra steel bar that extends too far, leaving, probably about 6 inches for the handle.

Then you will want a sleeve around the handle to rotate while you grip the handle of the crank. You can cut a piece of steel tubing to fit over the handle and be able to turn easily, and cut it a little short. Slide the tubing on the handle and take a flat washer that is a little larger in diameter than the steel tube and lay it flat against the end of the handle to form a flange that prevents the sleeve from sliding off, and weld the inside of the washer against the end of the handle.
