Hey guys... So, i was just cruising around on another forum, and i saw a thread about tractor cranking kickbacks...
Someone came up with the idea to use a ratchet... Thinking that if the tractor backfires, the ratchet will just spin. No flying cranks, no busted wrists or broken arms...
That sounds genius to me... Has anyone ever done it??
Id love to build one for my B... I could get a piece of steel bar stock the diameter of my crank, stick a piece of steel through the tractor end for gripping the pulley, and weld a cheap or worn out socket to the "me" end of the thing... Top it off with a harbor freight ratchet with a pipe welded to it, and it sounds like a pretty sweet deal...
Is there anything im not thinking of here?? Has anyone tried this before?? Without the fear of kickbacks, you could crank it however was easiest, not just the safe way...
