I learned a bit from this post. Never knew that them clutch drives have been around for 40 years. Was told they worked far better then the spring ones. I do agree the small engines don't really need 12 volt. Even on 6 volt my SC always started the same way. In summer one or 2 turns and tractors going. When temp drops down to 10 to 30 degrees a touch of choke 2 or 3 turns and going. From there down to 30 below its full choke, push clutch in, 3 or 4 turns and going. Will happen to stall after starting though when below zero depending how I work the choke. Sometimes push choke in a bit too far a bit too fast. One thing I am carefull not to do is to hold starter any longer then 4 turns. Changed mine to 12 volt because of problems with 6 volt and cost of fixing besides figuring the problems so a more modern system seemed to make sense. I had everything I needed for the change laying around the garage so figured I might just as well, only took a few hours. My Dads M is 12 volt, one SA 12 volt and one SA 6 volt. They all start in the winter. I am in Ontario Canada by the way. Just had to plow my driveway yesterday and today and had to use an old spring drive starter and tractor started with no problems, temp 5F. I have the feeling that its just the repeated starts stress the spring till it lets go.

The easiest and best first-time project for wanna-be sheet-metal workers like myself is flat or nearly flat metal cut and drilled to be a tractor's sidesheet. A sidesheet is sheetmetal to cover either the engine as in the case of early Oliver's, Massey-Harris' and many crawlers or the wiring and electrical components as in the case of the Massey-Harris Pony, Allis Chalmers' D Series (D-14, D-15, D-12, D-10, D-17, and D-19). The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
