I guess I have never seen a JD flywheel swing around and knock the brains out of the fella hand cranking it--besides, they have compression releases..!! Yes, I can agree with you on the older low compression tractors of moderate power.. BUT..a Gas "M", or my WD-45 with a power kit..?? Not Smart..!!! If one of These "Sneezes", you can count on a broken arm--or worse..!! And I'm one of those guys that will wrestle a non power-steering AC over plowed ground all day...so you know I'm not exactly afraid of an occasional "twist" on a wheel..!!! No thanks, I don't need to ask for that..!! Sure, I love to hand start a JD "GP", or an "L" Case...!! A friend of mine starts his WD-45 by spinning his over with the crank...he tried mine, and found that 1/4 turn at a time was all he could manage...!! I guess mine is a "Little" fresher..!! And, NOPE--the crank does not release when it "Kicks back"...and it may turn several times before it stops..!! I have "Propped" aircraft, and with them, you swing your leg, to throw your body out of the way of the prop... I take the same approach with a crank..!!

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
