In Reply to: Hand Cranking Alternative? posted by Curious1 on January 29, 2014 at 22:01:51:

IMHOP anything with a crank should never run and be lawn art. If it required a hand crank to start then don't call me to fix it. Many years back i had a crank try real hard to eat me alive . I carry the scar next to my right eye and a lump on my right elbow . I was 9-10 years old and working ground with and Oliver O C 3 pulling a 4 section spike tooth . The throttle would not stay in the wide open and ya held your foot on it , i went across the dead furrow at the end it was a little rough and my foot came off the throttle and before i could get the clutch down she stalled. I was by myself and everybody else was over a mile away digging taters. I can do this watched my uncle do this many times. , Make sure it is out of gear place crank in hole set throttle at about a quarter use monkey grip pull UP . First pull it sputtered ok try again and do it HARDER . When i did it the next time she kicked back and the crank came flying out spinning and got me on the elbow and then laced my head open blood everywhere knocking me to the ground . I think that is the day i learned to swear . Bleeding like a stuck hog madder then a wet hen i get up and about ten fifteen feet away lay the offending crank. I picked it up and with every bit left in me i threw that chunk of steel as far and hard as i could. If you happen to need a crank for and O C 3 oliver it is still where i threw it in about 30 feet of water as it lander in the irrigation lake that covered ten acres and at it's deepest it is about 35 feet . I then had to walk over a half mile back to the house . So if ya get the idea i don't like crank start your wright.
