Then there is the C-130A-E , but not the J, which can do a "windmill taxy start" or a buddy start if you have a broken starter and you really want 4 turning.
But only because the prop is geared directly to the compressor & turbine (T56 single-shaft engine). A free-turbine (2-shaft) engine has no such direct connection.
