Got this model M last year, runs good but had no hand crank. Hand started the ones we had back when sometimes a little too often. Almost got one online but shipping was a bit ouchy, figured I could make one but hadnt started yet. Was in the big antique mall, spotted a crank that looked right, sleeve handle spins too. Had some frequent flyer miles, used them and $9, so my Farmall is a little more complete. Dont find a good deal often enough these days.
