I saw on TV some old tractor that started on a shotgun shell.I know some old engines started by airing up a cylinder,or with an air starter.Old John Deeres had a flywheel to spin.Ive parked on on a hill a lot of times to roll it off to start a Fergusen tractor the next day,and others.Even a big tractor trailer would start like that, rolling off a hill, if you knew how.One time in New Mexico going up a mountain a truck I was driving quit running,so I rolled it backwards after I fixed the battery cable that went to the alternator that was broke off by a gator(tire tread lying in the road) and fired it up rolling backwards.I think it had to be in reverse maybe,it was in the 1980s so I dont remember all the fine details.But a ratchet is not going to work like others have said.There might be a way to rig it where you could only turn it one way,but it would still get you if it kicked back Im thinking.
