[SEL] Big engine starting wheels?

[Keith Kinney]

Glenn
If you look around at the pictures I have posted on these two web sites you 
will see several variations of pony motor setups that people have used to 
start their big engines.

Then for the smaller engines is this really neat setup.  Maybe you could 
scale this idea larger.
