I use a big 1/2" corded drill with an a socket adapter to turn over these big motors. You have to be ready to pull it off quickly when the motor fires or it can break the nut loose or kick back and hurt your wrists. Takes a bit of practice.
I'm hoping to start restoring my old Howard 2000 garden tractor soon its got a Kohler kt19 flat twin engine that hasn't ran for years I got new points, spark plugs, air filter and I gotta get a new ignition coil for it and then change the oil and filters then restore the tractor itself its got high and low range, diff lock and 2 speeds in forward low and 2 speeds in forward high and 1 speed in reverse and a 3 point linkage anyways lovin' this series mate great vid as always.
thanks mate! a few years ago I was actually interested in buying a little old Howard tractor to do up myself! they are cool little machines, enjoy it and let me know how you go! be sure to tag me in some photos of it on Instagram so I can see the progress if you have Instagram!

I was thinking about doing that myself, but I didn't in the end in case the motor fired and sent the drill spinning round in my wrists
