Crank handle?
Why in such modern times would a manufacturer feel the need to supply a crank handle with a vehicle made as late as 1982?
It comes in handy for doing the timing but thats it, they are dangerous things to someone who has never used one, I used to swing my old Sidewacker V8 over with a crank handle but it was 6 volt and u were buggered with out it
just one of things u need to hang onto I guess

SubscriberMy 81 rangie has one, i even had to use it once to move it when the battery died and there was no one around to jump start it, put it in low range first gear and slowly cranked the 3.5 over till it moved about 3 metres.

so even the rangeys have provision for a crank handle? guess I will leave it in the back then, was gonna turf it into the shed.

The way the reciving end is designed it should disengage the crank handle upon starting. From memory you can only crank clockwise, if you try to go the other way the handle will just disengage.
Easo
the dog on the crank is designed to spit the handle out when it fires, with the sidevalve v8 u spun her keeping your knees away and when she caught on u pulled up on the handle and he spat it back so u could withdraw it, I think even some early holden had provision for a crank handle

I drove my Rangie into a ditch on a day my starter motor died (seems i forgot that i had a clutch). Tried the crank handle for ages and nothing happened... Had to dig out a huge rock and snatch it out. My LandC*****r and Pootrol friends thought it was hilarious

Used crank handle years ago on my 76 rangie whilst waiting to purchase new starter motor.
Other blokes at work had a good laugh. Until the day one of them had a flat battery on his landcruiser.
My reply: Why don't you use the crank handle?
Guess who had the last laugh?
