OK. That's different than I thought. The manual shows the guy putting his right arm on radiator and it looks like crank is around 12 o clock position and he's pulling it towards him. So I figured if I engaged crank at about 11 o clock, I could pull it towards me while moving my body and face away from crank and letting it disengage around 3 or 4 o clock. But you are saying  engage it around 6 and pull up toward 12? Just to make sure I'm on same page, crank turns clockwise if you are looking at tractor  from the front. Perhaps someone would be so kind to link a video of someone doing it properly. Sometime a video is worth a thousand words
