I’ve got a super M and I hand crank that on occasion if the battery is too dead or if I feel like a workout, same process you do though, choke and no ignition and then ignition with half or no choke depending on temp!
My dad has a super M with lots of M and W parts that add power the old super M is 70 hp and is a great tractor to put on a big new Holland feed grinder she acts like it's not there.
That’s why I’m cranking it the flywheel is damaged so the starter won’t work It’s lots of fun lol this tractor has very high compression with oversized pistons so it’s very hard to crank compared to a stock one
On a H that probably works but with the bigger engine and high compression I can stand on the crank and the motor won’t turn so the only way I can turn it over especially when it’s warmed up is to pull straight up with all my strength I’m not saying it can’t happen but I’ve had it kick back a few times and it always disengages or I’m left standing holding the crank. I think the most important thing is that the crank and drive is a very loose fit so it can easily disengage also making sure you have the timing set right so it doesn’t kick back as much Also keeping your body as far from the crank as possible but still having leverage
@@DrRust on my H it works because I have it tuned to start on the 3rd or so quarter turn of the crank. I never have to spin it beyond that unless the battery is totally dead. I am able to stand off to the side and crank it on the downward stroke. My choke is spring loaded so I hold it closed with my other hand and let go when it fires and it starts right up.
This brings me back to the late 90's when I had to use one of these to drag our trailer around the field to pick up square bails
I'm happy with my electric start lol

Every tractor has it’s own personality some need more choke or throttle and like you said temperature is a big factor and a good ignition system
My Pap all had one we worked it for years that’s been over 50 years ago. I can still hear it run it.
They sound great under a load my grandpa had one as well

I was unprepared for the smoke from the breather. Good thing it wasn't flooded, that wouldn't be fun.
Yep it probably would not be on film though
Had one on the farm. Cranked it many of times.
I knew it'd mind you! It knew you'd get red headed with it if it didn't!
It used to fire right up but I think it’s time for a tuneup
@@DrRust Could be. They get cranky about cranking sometimes!
Music to my ears,2m's and a 100
I knew a couple of Old-Timers that were missing teeth from doing that
Both palms to the direction you’re pulling, unless you hate your thumbs.
What a Beautiful Tractor.
Thanks

When you crank an M you know it.
You’ve got that right
Super
Thank god for my starter.

Just so you know, don't crank it like that. It can kickback on you. And bream your arm or wrist
Ignition off, turn the engine over a few times with the crank then ignition on and it should turn on easier
That’s basically what I did
Always got told to talk your thumb back inside when hand cranking just in case it kicked back
You want your thumb on the outside so if it kicks back it won’t break your thumb

I have the same tractor it was my great grandpas it’s been sitting for like 20 years I don’t know how I’ll fix it
It just depends on what kind of shape it’s in now try watching my how to start a barn find video
All my tractors are hand start M 3-A’s cub and jdA
That’s cool
What’s dripping out of the air cleaner?
It back fired and blew oil out of the oil bath air cleaner but the air cleaner must have some water in it because it looks like bird poop
Your not handling the crank the way the old timer taught me. If the tractor kicked back it would break your arm.
I stand off to the side with my H. For when that thing kicks back you dont want your body moving into the path of the backward-spinning crank handle.
On a H that probably works but with the bigger engine and high compression I can stand on the crank and the motor won’t turn so the only way I can turn it over especially when it’s warmed up is to pull straight up with all my strength I’m not saying it can’t happen but I’ve had it kick back a few times and it always disengages or I’m left standing holding the crank.
