[SEL] From a newsgroup: Lookin For: Crank for 1.5hp Economy

[Alan Bowen]

Hi Folks,
   
  With all the discusion on this topic I haven't seen any CCs to the feller with the request so I emailed him.
  I did read a couple replies aimed at Steve W.
  He was just passing along a request from another Steve.
   
  See below,,
   
  I emailed Steve Mulhollan and told him how easy it is to start my Hercules engines with the flywheels.  He got right back to me and said he is in a wheel chair and flipping flywheels is very hard for him.  Cranking on the side will give him easy access to the mixer  too.
   
  I sent him the info from my Hit-M-Miss catalog.
   
  Seems like cranking along side a wheelchair should keep the crank away from his face.
