Seems the only trick to this is getting a crank to stick out of the 
grille without cutting a hole in the radiator.. put another "pulley" 
attachment onto the crank or waterpump or whatever seems handiest.. a 
special "pulley" that's more of a cylinder with some of those "one-way 
turn" screw head type items inside.. and then a crank with the 
appropriate pattern on it.  Thus, when you crank and the motor catches, 
you should be able to slip the manual crank, and not break arms..
