Yes, always good fun, even if you have a little kid hide in the
passenger footwell, to reach up to hit the Start button.  Especially
appropriate when wearing the leather helmet and goggles, and yelling
"Contact!"

My tractor starts pretty well with a hand crank (1/2 turn), even when
cold but not my TRs.
