[AJD] JD Flywheel crank going nuts on eBay

[Dean VP]

Bill:

Notice the nub is different for the early numbered series and the late
letter series. There is no way I would consider trying to start a 70 by hand
when it was really cold. Not sure I would want to try even when it was
decent weather. I suspect all kinds of @#$%^& words would be heard.

Was just browsing the operators manual for my 70; it shows using the
steering wheel business to emergency start that sucker.  Apparently the nub
didn't come standard equipment with the tractor, but it says you can get one
from your dealer.  The 70 must be all but impossible to turn over that way,
especially on a cold Minnesota day!

Yeah, you can't beat a log chain, or, if you're by yourself, a flat belt.
Or park it on a hill.

Confusion is a higher state of knowledge than ignorance.
