Lets face it, the hand crank is in case of desperation or extreme
emergency. As the owner of a 6volt DUKW I have the habit of parking at
the top of any slight slope that happens to be around......

I'm quite keen on originality, but when you see the hand crank
arrangement for the DUKW and the GPA you realize just how useless they
are. New starter motor is a good idea, plus BIG battery and minimize
the joints in the starter cables etc.

That said jeeps always were a swine to start, especially if the starter
had ever seen 12 volt.
