Peter: You've got one of the true classic tractors, and it's a wonderful little marvel of engineering. With reasonable care, it will reward you with many (think: multi-generational) hours of work, play, or anything in between. Hugh and HF took care of most the questions very well, but I'll handle the crank one. While cranks are easily availible, you can also bend one up yourself with minimal tools and a couple of pieces of round stock from the local hardware store. If you're interested, I can measure mine and shoot you the dimensions. Basically it's 2 90-degree bends and a piece of steel dowel stuck through close to the end of the long piece. Cranking an "A" is easy provided the tractor starts decently. We've been cranking our '42 on the home farm for 20 years--no sense in fiddling with the starter when a couple flips sends her putting to life. The basic rules are (1) don't put your body in line with where the crank is spinning (2) crank up, not down (too easy to get your jaw in the way, particularly if you're "vertically challenged") and (3) crank with your right hand and never wrap your thumb around the crank.
