Has anyone experimented with modifying an impact wrench to use in lieu of a crank to start these older tractors without starters?

My F-12 has been starting on the first or second up pull on the crank for the last 5 years since I rebuilt my engine.

Might better use your time to get the engine back in tune, rather than creating a band-aid for a tough starting engine.

What we did on a F-12 was find a splined weldment for a pulley,the find a small fly wheel and weld it to the splinded weldment(make sure it fits the rear pto out put shaft)then mount a chevy starter and a battery and wire a key switch and you will be in it to win it.Also I should have a picture of this set up,just email with starter for F series farmall in the subject line.

A co-worker starts his F-12 with a 1/2 electric drill. He made his own adapter and it works great. You may need to start out by getting the pistons in the right location before pulling the trigger. Good Luck and keep it safe.

If you like wearing a cast I'd give it a try.
There is a starter kit that you can install on the F14. I saw one on ebay not to long ago.

I use a 3/4 inch Milwalkee drill and it will spin a F-20 or--- me---- depending on the day. Just cut the crank off and insert into the chuck and adjust to the self abuse. A constant load on a drill is one thing, but as the pistons come up and down, you can figure out the timing by the speed of the smacks on your chin. Perhaps not all that smart a thing to do, but yes it does it real fast. Sorry that is one tool I do not loan out without a saftey ---on the job training session. And if you are anywhere near NE IA you are more than welcome to borrow it. F14 isn't a challenge at all. This does not require a working impulse on your mag. as it is --I think 500 RPM's NE IA Dave

I tried that with a 1/2" drive pneumatic impact wrench on a LAWNMOWER and couldn't turn it hard enough to start it.

I'd expect you'd need the Mother of All Impact Wrenches to spin a 4 cylinder engine.

Those spiffy starters the Indy Car types use are actually electric motors with a pin-and-socket arrangement on the mount to take the countertorque.

An impact wrench is not designed to turn things like a drill is. It just hammers bolts tight or loose. Anthow, if the tractor is tuned up right, it shoyuld not take much to crank it. Our F-20 usually starts betterwith an easy slow pull up onthe crank than if we try to spin it.
