When I was a boy,my father ran a JD dealership shop. I had always heard farmers talk about taking their foot and nudging the flywheel of an "H" john Deere to crank it when they were ready to start itback after they shut it down for lunch. Didn't believe it so I climbed on the "H" my father had just been working on. Of course I didn't look to see if it was out of gear or anything else that was safety concerned. That stuff was for other folks!! I took my left foot and just kicked the flywheel, and lo it did crank up aand was in gear! All I could think to do was to holler WHOA!! Luckily my father had stepped away from it and as slow as an "H" runs in 1st gear he was able to grab the clutch lever and stop it. I didn't sit down for a while after that paddling and didn't dare try that again!!
