We trashed the starter when the key stuck at start. Got a cream separator crank at a junkyard, and put a cross pin in the end of it. We swapped in a Buick V-6 and lost that capability. A friend had one of the first of the Land Cruisers and it had a crank, as did my Land Rover. Why don't all the smaller cars have one?
