Hand crank start 3J/5J ?

I recently saw several photos of an early D2 3J that appeared to be equipped for a hand crank, with the crank pulley “ears” and crank handle bushing in the bottom of the radiator. Said tractor also had rope start pony motor. 

A quick look at the D2 3J parts book here on the ACMOC site, shows two hand crank handles for a 3J. One appears to be captivated like a Twenty Two and the other appears to be removable (I presume after starting)

At any rate, the possibility of hand starting a D2 surprised me and while I am very content with my electric start pony…..I am curious if anyone here has one, or has done it. 

Thanks,

It's not a starting handle, it is for turning the engine over to spread the oil film on the internal engine components prior to starting, and for turning the engine for service.

I have similar on the RD4 parked outside. I will have to remember to include the handle when CrawlerAddict gathers it for his cache of RD's. JM

Also have one with diesel 40.

Ahhhh that makes more sense. As always, thanks for the info!
