that's nothing new LOL, in the older popular mechanics magazine there was a column written by a fella named Gus. Every month he would write about a challenge and a solution. He wrote about either losing the crank or a dead battery, I can't remember which. His solution was to jack the rear end up and spin a wheel to start the engine. I guess there may have been a benefit from having a couple gross of old popular mechanics magazines for reading and some long winter days LOL.
I'm wondering just how bad you can get hurt spinning 12 times around the wheel well before your buddy hits the brakes. I just know when I let go of that rope it wouldn't let go of me. I just know it.
Well, we did a lot of pushing way back when........
And a tee shirt hanging out of a hub cap....remedy for dogs that chase cars.....LOL (that's what this reminded me off).
Put the end of an old tee shirt in the hub cap,.... let it flap as you drive real slow past your chasing car dog...he grabs it....and goes for a ride....LOL.....
We would come down the road after that, and the dog would just sit there and look at that car...."NFW am I chasing that again...!"
Gus gave the wheel a spin sorta like the old john deere tractor with the big wheel along the side of the engine. Can't remember the model.
The first car I bought was a '52 chevy panel wagon. I paid $15 or $25 for it. I don't remember for sure. It did not have brakes or a starter. I spent everything I had on a master cylinder kit and parked the thing on a hill so I could always get it started.
'63 Dodge van without reverse.....who needed a gym membership?
Man, I bet parallel parking was a bayotch.
LOL, '57 Ford, bad battery and trans only had high.....and straight pipes.
Park at the to of the hill, and you had to plan ahead as you couldn't back up.....roll it to pop clutch and get started, quietly...
Back in the day, there was a guy that use to hang out at the street race gathering spot, in Norfolk. He drove a duster, I think it was. Anyway...he had an automatic in it, that had no park. To top it off, his parking break didn't work. No problem....he had put a better stereo in it, and kept the old radio behind the seat. When he got there, every Fri. and Sat. night, he would pull into a parking space, jump out and throw his old radio behind the left rear wheel, to keep the car from rolling back.
My first vehicle was a international panel wagon, 1963 model and boy was it whipped except for the engine. The body was a nice dull brown primer colour.
Yeah, my panel wagon was a lot like that. If you hit the bumps just right the quarter panels would start flapping and you almost went airborne....That was a funny car but a great beer wagon. Then there was the 62 Ford Galaxy XL with the gas tank held on by bailing wire. Now that baby could getting rockin' in a heart beat. The more gas you had the more she would rock. Every time I hear the song, Just a swingin' by John Anderson I think of that old car. She was pretty easy to turn if you timed the swingin gas tank just right.
In High School I had a VW superbeetle. The floorboard was rotted on the leading edge under the pedals and on the passenger side too. If it rained, the floor pan would fill with water. To get it out, everyone lifted their feet and you jammed the breaks. Tidal wave out the front again.
You've seen those photos of people jammed into a VW? I once had 4 people in the back seat (3 sitting and one draped across their laps) and two in the passenger seat, plus me. And I was driving. None of this sitting still crap. None of these silly rules about how many teens could be in a car back then. That little car was built like a tank. Except for the floor pans and the exhaust heat exchanger. You always knew the exchanger was rusting out when you started feeling light-headed while driving in the winter.
All of the go-carts we built back than were push to start. Mostly old lawnmower engines that had seen better days. I remember one old chain drive snowblower motor we put on a go-cart. To start it you pushed it down a hill then the guy pushing jammed the chain drive in gear by hand. Wonder we never lost fingers.
And one of my first sleds was a ........ coal hopper lid. Dang near ripped a thumb off when I hit a small stump mid-way down a hill. My thumb was hanging on to the hinge when I hit the stump. Trust me. Those were not the good ole days. The bestest thing about those old cars is you could store a six pack under the hood and keep it cold in the winter. Today you can't store a gnat under the hood.
Heck - you could sit in the engine compartment to work on the engine.
....And you Could work on the engine......Quote:

Stop at the 7-11 and get a big bag just before we hit the strip and it would run cool for half the night.
My first car was a 73 Mustang. It had headers and that was it for exhaust. The best part was the rusty floor boards that allowed the exhaust fumes in! The gas gauge didn't work, Wipers had two speeds (On and Off), and it hat the two piece front seat belts where only the lap belt clicked, if you wanted to wear the shoulder part then it would have to be connected to the lap belt and then clicked. I had fun with the cops with that! I would put the shoulder portion out the window when I saw a cop. They would pull me over and walk up and explain I was pulled over for a seat belt violation. I would show them the lap belt and asked what they pulled me over for again. When they didn't have a second violation I would ask to speak to their supervisor which would lead to an @$$ chewin for them!
My first car, 1965 Ford Fairlane, no battery, no starter, no mufflers. Learned how to cross over with a screw driver to start it. Paid $116. It was awesome.
I feel like a spoiled youth!
I worked and saved from the time I was 12 until 16. I paid cash for a one year old Datsun with only 8,000 miles on the clock. $1,200. Everything worked. It had all its gears, including reverse, a starter, a good battery and brakes. The radio and heater worked too, even the AC.
It also got 40 MPG and at $0.25 cents per gallon I could fill it up for $2.50 and drive for a week.
We passed that car around the family for 10 years. I taught both my younger brothers to drive in it. My Dad refused to let it leave family ownership and "bought it" from the youngest brother when he graduated to hot rods. Dad drove it for its last 100,000 miles and my little sister finally totaled it.
There was a Nissan product in Dad's driveway from the time I bought that ugly doodle bug in 1965 until he passed away in 2007.
Air conditioning?! In 1965? You had one of those under the dash contraptions didn't you. Where on earth did you stick the record player?
Round about 1965 we had one person in the neighborhood that had air conditioning for their car. We thought that they must be the richest people on the planet. It was called a car cooler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_cooler
I don't know if I could turn my 6.9 diesel over like that lol, one time my battery went dead and dad showed up in his truck with a steel cattle guard on it and nosed it up to my steel flatbed and push started me lol
Mine was a 1953 "Plodge" -- a '53 Dodge 2-door body with a '55 Plymouth engine/transmission. My father and I bought the two vehicles from two different junkyards, then put engine and body together in our back yard. My sister's swingset paid the price of moving the Plymouth engine/transmission into the Dodge body. From that day forward there was a pronounced bend in the top tube, about 1/3 of the way across. (I still owe ya on that one, Sis...)Quote:

As a young man right out of high school.....I scored a job working for a small city, 4 man on the whole city crew.
Part of my job was the operation and service of the city's sewer plant...and too that end I had my own flat bead International truck, about a 5 tonner, had duel wheels in the rear.
One foggy morning i arrived at our plant, and started my job, not noticing that I had left the lights on......At about 11;00 AM, I was due back at the shop, and realized that the battery was very dead.
Pondering the situation, I desided that as the truck was on a pretty good hill, road leading down to the drying beds for the sewage, my plan was to get it rolling down that hill, pop the clutch and truck would start.
So, found a 6 ft piece of about 2' pipe, put it in one of the holes on the duel wheels, using the protruding axle as a lever point found that I could roll the truck......
As systems appeared a go, so I gave a mighty pull on the pipe, trucked started rolling, and after a couple of more, started down the hill, I ran along side, jumped in popped the clutch.....engine fired up, and I slammed the breaks, just before running into the creak at the side of the drying beds.
Put it in reverse, backed up the hill, patting my self all the way back to the top,..... to find the boss, the City Engineer, leaning up against his pick-up, shaking his head.....
He said, "Well I will give you credit for getting it started, but IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, YOU......"....then he broke out laughing, and we went to lunch.
Didn't do that again....wonder if I have some Russian in my past????
When I started reading that I thought it was going to end up with both you and the truck in the drying beds that probably weren't all that dry. Glad it worked out and and there was no fire involved.
The has been a element of luck and good fortune in my life.....Not everything has caught on fire.....LOL
