Well, hi everybody, I am so damn pissed at my John Deere tractor I've got.
So, ya have to understand, this was my great grandfathers tractor, it's a John Deere model A with hand start, meaning you gotta crank the flywheel to get it to start.
So for the last 2 nights now, I went out there, and cranked it once, and that god damn piece of shit popped right off.
So I go out tonight, ya know, "Oh, hell, she's gunna start, no problem."
So I crank er, nothin! "Whistle whistle," she says.
I cranked and cranked, and told it to quit being a son of a bitch.
So finally, I told my muther, "Get on there, we're puttin this piece of shit in road gear, and we're pushin it!
So she gets on the damn tractor, and I says, when I tell ya, push the clutch ahead!
Well, I couldn't push that damn piece of shit fast enough to get enough momentum to get er goin.
So yeh, that's why crank start tractors really piss me off.
Don't waist your time, pull the damn things with a pickup!

It ain't a fuckin' tractor, it's a Yamaha!

I personally love hand-cranked things and mechanical things of all sorts. I'd probably enjoy trying to start it and figure out why it wasn't working, though I'm not good with motors and the like. Still, it must be interesting.

Lots of people get hurt by those cranks. The crank can break your arm.

I guess the ones found on tractors are quite different from the ones found on smaller mechanical items.
