Yep, ol Tcoat has been there.

My first experience was crank starting our old Oliver tractor.

Weighing in at about 65 pounds (soaking wet), standing on a 5 gallon kerosene can, set the crank (NO thumbs), jump up, then jump off the can ..... at the end of the throw(fall), pull the crank back out of the notch and dodge the steel wheel.

Repeat as necessary ..........
