Well in the modern age of doing things in more modern ways, handcranking is an "art form" if you will that is slowly dying off. Personally, i'll handcrank mine every now and then at shows just for showing all the "young un's" how things used to be. Personally I think that alot of us has gotten soft, "oooh it's too dangerous, or ooooh it's too much like work". Phooey on that a little brow sweat never hurt no one, and if you don't know much about hand cranking alot of the oldtimers would be happy to help tune your tractor and teach you proper "safe" techniques in hand cranking. Let's just remember one thing folks, we restore our tractors to preserve a piece of heritage and history and this is something that doesn't need to die as well. working steam engines and draft horses are dangerous as well, but if someone don't pass it on, IT WILL DIE..... sorry for my mad ramblings, but just my opinion.
