[Farmall] Titan restoration

[John Hall]

I actually cranked it by hand yesterday, previously we had been using a 
belt. Fired up on the 5th turn. Don't have my crank ready so I had to do it 
by pulling the flywheeel. Gonna have to put some rocks in my pockets though, 
got so much compression I can barely pull it through!!!
