Guys, I have a 1948 Gibson Model D tractor with the original Wisconsin engine. It hasn't ran in about 20 or so years and I've gotten it all ready to try and start it up. It has the original pulley for the rope start on the front of the engine and the pulley is broken. I will be replacing it, but what is a good alternative to get this engine running without having to try and start it with a rope? You know when engines sit a long time, they can be a bear to get started. Now when I get it running and assess everything, I will make sure the engine is easily started with a rope once restored. Just for now it has about worn me and my hands (rope burn) out pulling on it (using the back drive pulleys with a rope wound on it) trying to get it to start. Out of about 25 pulls I got it to hit 2 times.
