Hand Crank with Snow Plow
Even though I have a starter and it works fine, I like to use a hand crank to start the Cub. However, in the winter with the snow plow installed, the hand crank interferes with the front arms of the plow frame. I saw this longer version of the crank on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/FARMALL-IH-INTERNATIONAL-CUB-CRANK-/251847488389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa347b385 and at 30" in length, it is 10" longer than the standard Cub crank. It will be close to contacting the blade, but I think it will work.

Re: Hand Crank with Snow Plow
Note the orientation of the pin. You will have to pull sideways rather than up.

Re: Hand Crank with Snow Plow
My Cub tractor came with an extended hand crank, 10 or 12 inches. Section welded into the middle.
Thinking you can come up with a hand crank and weld in the required distance, section, for less than $30-.

I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Hand Crank with Snow Plow
It is not difficult to fab one from a piece of 5/8 inch stock and a roll pin for engaging the pulley. Just lengthen the dimension in picture.

Thanks for pointing that out, Jim. That is probably a "deal breaker" for me.

Eugene & Stan,
I think you both make a good point. That is probably my next project. Thanks

Re: Hand Crank with Snow Plow
I use my hand crank pushing downward and just a half turn on the crank to avoid the grader blade. It works fine and started in -20 F.
