Be sure its out of gear, turn gas on, set throttle just opened a tad bit, set choke as needed, turn key on. Now it is time to crank. Pretend there is a glass wall inbetween you and the hand crank. The only part of your body that should go through the glass wall is your hand/arm you are cranking with. This will keep your head, legs, other arm, and body out of the rotation of the crank if there would happen to be a kick back. Keep your thumb on the same side of crank handle as your fingeres when you grab onto it. Never crank the engine in a downward motion. Always crank the engine in an upward motion, a half of rotation at a time. You will have to disengage the hand crank at the top of rotation, and free travel it back to the bottom and re-engage it again at the bottom of rotation for another pull. This allows you to avoid cranking in a downward motion. Another thing is, figure out where the tractor fires at. When hand cranking, you want the engine to be in a descent rolling motion at this point. On my H, it fires just a tad bit past 12 O'Clock. One more thing, a distributor will more likely cause more kick backs than a magnito. Not sure which you have, but I know I have to be careful with mine because of the distributor. Seems like it kick's quit abit.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
