Okay, I like my electric start on my "H", but I also have a fondness for being able to make 'er run by hand cranking it. Dad always told me that the only safe way to crank a tractor with the least likelihood of busting your arm, was to put the crank at 6 o'clock, with all your fingers and thumb on the same side, and pull it up ONLY. He said "never spin it, and never try to push it down.. and ALWAYS have your thumb on the same side as your fingers." It makes sense to me. Other than retarding the spark on models with a manual advance, are there any other things that can make it safer? My youngest son loves to see me crank start it, but I'd hate to show him how to scream like a girl after i put another elbow in my arm....:)
