Bill,

    When I engage the clutch,  it slides the entire
crank over twords the pulley side of the tractor.  I
want to hold the crank over twords the flywheel side
and still be able to apply pressure against the crank
twords the pulley side to slide the flywheel on. 
John's method sounds feasable..
