You could cut two holes in the box front and rear , cut the hand crank into, weld a extension making the crank extra long, and hand start the motor ! you might need to manufacture some sort of a bearing for the front tool box hole though. Then wear would you store the extra long crank and then how to seal the holes in the box . With the box ended tool I find it hard to get less than a 1/4 turn and having to jam the wrench in to the fan belt to be able get the wrench off and another bite on the nut , along with an aching back ! Thankfully I use the setting the timing and forget about it Tom Wesenberg’s method timing ! Miss Tom a lot !
