Pull start a DF 140 ?

Hi everybody. Is it possible to pull start a DF140, has anyone done it?

My first thought was Why?
But it is pretty doubtful it will start that way
The engine needs to be powered up
And a DF model needs the High pressure pump ECM - no power nothing works

Assuming that the battery has power but the starter is gone. Would it be possible to pull start?

Maybe someone with a 140 can give you a better answer
Dissemble the flywheel cover
My guess would be there is nothing there for a starter rope
if you are asking this question you should probably get the service manual that will answer a lot questions you are going to have in the future
