Have seen a Field Marshall at several shows (may have been the same 
tractor?) in Midwest
a decade or so ago. Don't remember much discussion about the large, single 
cylinder design.Herb(GA)

From: Ken Knierim
    Field Marshall tractors have huge 1 lung engines (several hundred cubic
inches if I recall) that were started with something very similar to a
shotgun shell (without the shot). A pop on the firing pin and the engine
barks (and hopefully starts). It's not a Coffman starter (a different beast
yet) but it's a solution that seemed to work.
