You have to push in on the crank against that spring as it is turning. Then it should "catch" and turn the engine.
Hi Jon: Do you know the safety needed when using a hand crank? Keep your thumb along side your 1st finger. All fingers on one side of the crank. Asume you can get an almost instant kickback and then your thumb in not going to get broken. Also keep your body out of the entire area in which the crank rotates. Kick backs can be arm breakers or nut breaker if you haven't done it much before.. good luck. ag

The pin under the radiator is broke and gone I do not know what kind of pin it was. When I push the crank in and turn it,it bottoms out on the front but it has not reached the crankshaft pulley. Thanks Jon

Thanks for your concern. My dad broke his wrist many years ago cranking a old W6. So I was taught the right way.So 35 years and no mishaps.Now after I said that I suppose something will happen . Thanks Jon
It is a pin, maybe 2 1/2 inches long, by 3/8 dia. Problem is, is held in by the sleeve over the top of it with a snap ring. Might be difficult to replace. I never saw one break but have seen them get bent. Did have my own H's out a couple years ago when I was working the tractor over. Rusted pretty tight.

If the pin is gone and you have a hole try a 5/16 bolt and see if that fits. Once you find out the correct diameter then measure the outside portion of the crank that is supposed to fit over the pin. Then buy a expansion pin the right size and drive it into the hole. Maybe you can drive a smaller one into the center of the larger one so it will be stronger.

Why not leave the hand crank broke and fix the electric start system? Armand

Here are the parts. The sleeve retains the pin. It is a solid pin and I think it is 1/2" in diameter. The snap ring has to come off. Then the sleeve. Pin should fall out or, more likely, drive out. Everything will be rusty so it is not an easy job. This is particularly true becasue you will be working with your back on the ground and all the parts are inside the bolster. Use as couple of tie wraps on spring so it is not in your way.

Thanks that is what I needed to see.You said it would not be easy, laying on the ground and on my back.You forgot to mention the 2 ft. of snow and the -20 below temp. Thanks again Jon
Oh Boy, Jon,
My fingers have a half-life of about 5 minutes at +20 degrees. I would pull-start that tractor and get it to a warmer place. If that assembly is rusted, you will be spending some time under the tractor in a location that is hard to reach and poorly lit.
Maybe you could do what they do in Alaska with Jeeps. They turn them over on their side or stand them up on their tailgate.
BTW, that is a 400 bolster. I think everything is the same on a H but can't guarantee it-
