You would need the flywheel, clutch, and torque tube with the starter hole. Plus the battery box and cut down tool box. If your block isn't drilled for the generator, you'd need a battery charger a couple times a year.

So what would it cost for a tube and flywheel

In the long run it might be more cost effective (and easier) to purchase another late model B with a starter. Then sell your hand crank only B to recover some, if not all of your expenses.

Either way, good luck with your project.
