Aww, all you young fellers probably never had the fun of cranking an old Model T Ford, did ya?
Those cars would set ya up over the hood real quick, in case ya forgot to push the spark lever all the way up.
Some "beefy" guys could spin the crank to get it going, but us tall skinny 100lb. weaklings had to do the lift style on it. And they could kick back, too, and break yer thumb right quick, or make yer arm and hand smart (both ways)! Best thing is part with some "Gold" and buy a new battery, or make friends with a "Beefy" guy, who can crank it fer ya!

P.S, In cold weather, we had to jack up one hind wheel to crank it, then let 'er run fer a spell, and set 'er back down. BUT! ya had to make sure ya had a concrete block in front of one wheel--didn't want her driving off before ya could jump in!
