Is it a good idea to put a pull start on a tractor?

i was wondering if it was maybe a good idea to have a pull start on my tractor, so if my battery dies i can just pull start it. let me know if its a good idea

Yah thats a Great idea i actually have one one mine it doesn't have a a recoil its a pull rope pretty simple let me know if you want pics

i got my old sears with a rewind on it and its a electric too im taking int off but going to use it on another project i think its a great idea to have

yeah please if you can. and what is better weld it on or just bolt it on i was thinking about it and im not shure

I Pretty much just bolted mine on and Took off the leaf guard i didn't weld, simply because i was to young to weld yet so I put the pull start on when i was ten.Also Wouldn't weld because once you weld it is never going to be the same but maybe welding would work better.

I'll make a video tomorrow if thats alright with you

thanks. yeah i might just bolt it on bc the only welder that is close that i wont have to trailer my tractor is my pappa and its not really worth it to drive up there just for a weld that will take maby five minutes. only problem is the bolts that hold on the cover over the flyweel fans are striped and i dont really want to cut it off bc i dont want to cut the fans.

Maybe heat it up really hot since metal expands when it hot so heat it up. Hopefully its just the nut and buy a new nut but if its the bolt threads maybe rethread it
