My dad had a D2 Caterpillar tractor that he bought new in 1939. It had a 2 cylinder starting motor that you wrapped a rope on the flywheel and pulled. I saw him start that tractor in extremely cold weather. Some of the early John Deere diesels also had a starting motor these were about 1949 to1960. Don't recall any engines with a 1 cylinder starting motor The Cat engines referred to as being from the 60’s were actually a lot earlier than that.
