Big 400 Hand Crank

[namdc3]

Does anyone have an image of a big 400 hand crank? Was it a special dealer tool, or something the farmer could order special?

Sooo,every once in a while someone puts something on here and I say to myself, I got one of them somewhere. So This time I started looking. 3 days later I found it! Figured it came out of uncles barn as he had a gas 400 with a mag on it and probably got this just in case. A7153A on the box, and quite a bit of mouse crap inside!

Klyde, you have won the brass ring today! Now if we only knew a machinist(Chuck)that could possibly reproduce that part. I am confident that with my skills I can come up with the outer handle part.
Thank you for posting this photo Klyde!

HEE HEE, now that I am retired and no longer have those resources, Lathe and Mill, I am some what frustrated. If you look at the pic, you will see the crank comes in two pieces. If I am not mistaken the part that has the spring attached is already on the tractor, so the only part to fab is the crank. Those with 400's in there herd,could pop in and confirm that. By the way, for me to retool my shop with a lathe and Mill would run me about 12 grand.CM Just saying!

We all wish that the spring and shaft were installed at the factory.
12 grand you say? I'm in for the first $12. Find one thousand others to match me and you are good to go!
