I used to place the crank between the engine block and the engine frame. Seemed to stay there alright. Re: 6 volts and starting, make sure the battery polarity is correct. A simple way to do this is to hold a sharpened lead pencil and let the spark pass throught the exposed graphite to the plug. In a darken condition you will see the flair out of electrons. It should flair out towards the plug. Switch the primary (6volt) wires on the coil to correct if wrong. The people in the Red River Valley of the North (MN and ND) where I grew up replace the 6 V battery with an eight volt battery which helps a lot in cold weather. A survey done in MN in the 60's found that 47% of the tractors were running on reversed polarity as mention above. This makes for difficult starting as it requires much more voltage to fire the spark plug in that condition. Good Luck, Merlin
