[Rafter S]

No, I haven't. And I'm not likely to.

 

[Ol' 243]

I don't know why, but I enjoyed the shyt out of that. :lol:

I could see that on a eulogy. He started tractor by PTO :shock: Bout as safe as jumping starter.

I put it in the bag o tricks.. might come in handy some day.

 

[Nesikep]

If the tractor doesn't have an overrunning clutch and isn't hydraulically engaged, it does work... desperate times call for desperate measures though

 

[Farm Fence Solutions]

Hope I never need that trick, but I won't forget it....just in case.

"Back in the day" plenty of tractors were started off the flat belt from another tractor, starting from the PTO isn't much different.

And before that they had a hand crank.

5 years ago I bought a JD 720 diesel with a pony motor start. I had to get a friend to show me how to start it. Push this button pull this lever. How many people know how to start a tractor with a Belt? I have seen it done but it's been 50 years so I doubt I can.

I got a crank handle for a 35 Ferguson but I don't intend to start using it.

How many people know how to start a tractor with a burning stick or cigarette and a shotgun shell?

I've started a JD Model D by hand... that takes a bit of oomph
