Well, goes to show you can learn something new every day. Was the purpose of 
these cranks to give the operator a better reach when there was equipment 
attached? I could see that this could be the case when you had orchard 
fenders as Chris stated, or a mounted cultivator, loader, etc. Still seems 
like you would still have to climb in or reach over to get to the flywheel. 
Guess it would be better than nothing.
