That one sure sounds good, must run very nice.
There is something satisfying about hand cranking, minus any risks with some of them. I used to marvel at the starting engine on my D7 crawler. In good tune, it fires easily. From there, you still need to use it to get the diesel running and it will do so to some very very cold temperatures. One thing that stands out is that I could tell when it was on the upcoming compression stroke and the way the crank system is made, I don't think it can grab ya, if it did, would send you over the hood, as it's on top. Older models were lower left side. They moved the location because if you stalled out in a cut or while stuck, can be awkward to get to the hand crank there. Moving up top made a big difference.
The ones I find even more interesting are like the old flywheel hand crank machines like the Caterpillar or earlier BEST SIXTY model tractor. Flywheel is machined for a bar to be inserted. I can imagine either being tossed by it, or that bar flying off, but there are plenty of you tube videos showing these being started, definitely not for the novice LOL !
