grandpa used to wrap a rope around the big old belt pulley on his fordson-hook the team to the end of the rope and use them to pull on the rope starting the Fordson. This was when he had the fordson set at the threshing machine-He told me this-mom saw it--worked ok till one day the fordson backfired, belt pulley turned backwards dragging the horses. Mom said there was no way those horses would go near the darned old thing after that. Old Minister said he lost the crank to his model T one dark night, killed the car going up a hill, rolled it back down the hill, jacked up the rear wheel, gave it a spin, started the T, drove his gal pal on home that night. I've heard of doing just what you are going to try, according to the guy that told me it worked. I've heard of guys hooking a single cylinder gas motor to the pto and starting them.

If it was me I would really try to find someone to fix the starter
