    I have been able to start my 1969 2a fairly easily these past few months (yeah, I'll get to that $#@&* starter motor eventually). Interesting experience though. If it sits for a week it fires up with one crank. If I was driving it that day, I have a hell of a time getting it started by crank. Not sure what that's about.

    I haven't looked but I think i asked the grenadier folks if they put a crank on it. I'm sure the new landrovers do not. and the Defender, IDk but cranking a v8 ........ you need your wheaties! the WW2 half tracks could be hand cranked, my dad said there was always some big guy around that could do it!
