Hand crank start

- Filmed at Norgesløpet 2008 in Hamar, Norway. It sure is an American car from the 1930's but I don't know which brand it is. The cars all looked the same back than, too. It is an impressive task to start it by muscle power, though.

I never saw it but my grandfather owned a Whippet. It didn't have an electric starter. He didn't like to crank it so he built a wooden ramp. When he got home, he would back the car up the ramp and coast it down to start when he wanted to start it.
That is genius
🤣🤣🤣
That is so awesome. It reminds me of my 1st car. When I was 14 years old I traded one of my guitars to a friend of mine for his 1972 Nova. It had the bulletproof 250 straight 6 in it & ran great. Of course there were issues. The exhaust pipe was disconnected from the manifold & it was so loud. It was missing 1 of the 2 nuts that held the flange on & the donut gasket. I bought 2 new nuts for like 6¢ each & a new donut gasket from Pep Boys for either 99¢ or $1.99. Once that was done it was so quiet. The main issue was the shifter linkage from the column to the transmission was missing so it was just always in drive. I had to park it out front of my friends house because he had a pole on his sidewalk & the street was on a hill. I was able to let it roll back onto the pole. Even though I was only 14 I was able to fix the exhaust without help & definitely without any UA-cam videos. I couldn't find the shifter linkage in a junkyard.
Yeah, really dangerous way to start a car, you always want to use just your left hand so if it backfires you don't lose your arm.
I have hand cranked many old cars. The problem isn't what you might think a "backfire" is exactly, it's a "backwards" fire, where a cylinder ignites before top dead center. This will NOT throw the hand crank out of the engine, because it turns backwards. If you push the crank like that it can throw you across the yard, and break your arm. Don't push it. set it at a compression stroke, reset the hand crank to the bottom, sharp pull, half turn of the motor will do.
Thanks. When I watched the video and saw him start that car, the way he was cranking it looked dangerous to me
Can you suggest a video showing how it is done correctly, please?

Saw a guy at a car show try to start a model T with a kickstart (his foot in the crank) it kicked back and drive his knee into his chest and threw him about 5 feet back, he was on the ground for a while with the wind knocked out of him lol
He forgot to retard the timing, the lever is on the left side of the steering wheel. It happened a lot. @@SUPRAMIKE18
I love old cars
They kept hand cranks for many years after starters came in as a "backup" emergency start method in case your battery was dead. My '33 chevy has a crank, "just in case"
my 1960 Rover has one
Finally someone has a video of something I been looking for. Dumbass Google fails to give results. Now to find out how this works.
The pulley one the motors is one of the better designs. The jaws are shaped so that if it does backfire the pulley should throw out the crank and save your arm or wrist or hand from breaking. Also, you should always use only your left hand and pull up. That way there is an easy release if it backfires and you have more time to get out of the way.
I felt like this today deciding to start up my only computer that doesn't run an SSD.
I have never used SSD and never will. Too dangerous for data. They only have a set amount of read/write cycles before they corrupt themselves. Perfectly maintained HDD is better than any SSD.
@@MrWolfSnack That's silly. Regardless of what drive you use you should have a backup drive anyways. So the shorter lifespan of a SSD is not that important.
It is, because you don't want to be having to transfer data back and forth or have abrupt drive failure every so many months. It's amazing what people think is acceptable just because they are impatient. HDD's are tried and proven for 30 years and counting.
@@MrWolfSnack you think SSD's fail every so many months? Lol. And youbdont need to be manually transferring data "back and forth". Ever heard of automatic backups? Or cloud backups? Just stop. You sound silly and out of date.
If I ever have sex again, I imagine this is what it's going to be like.
You be ok 😘😍
Aren't you supposed to find top dead center before you start cranking? That seems to be what they do on other videos where the car actually starts.
I'm currently reading "It" and King describes Mike Hanlon's father having to resort to cranking their old model A and hating it because of how dangerous it could be. Had to look this up for some reference.
I don't claim to be a car expert, but isn't cranking with both hands really stupid dangerous?

I think this car doesn't use a direct-crank, but an inertia-crank. The crank is turned to spin-up a flywheel. Then, the engine is engaged to connect to the spinning flywheel, which starts it up
Jonathan Tan haven't ever heard of those
@@kylekenan2321 Neither has Jonathon.
@EntropicMisanthropic The starting cranks on antique cars are not forcefully spun by the engine because of a failed clutch but because the engine fired before top dead center of which ever cylinder was on the compression stroke forcing the engine to turn backwards. The starting crank will not release when the engine turns the wrong way and will be driven backwards forcefully. If the engine should backfire if you crank left handed and only pull up the crank it should miss your arm.
Right on, I've had this happen to me, would've been in a cast if I was doing it like this. It's a dangerous thing to do wrong. It's also worrisome how close his face is
@harley55100 Hand cranked cars were made well into the 80's on Lada's
I am totally shocked that cars were once hand cranked this way.
5 people suffered back pain from this
Looks like 1937 Chevy. Great car.
i remember when told me the use the foot incase it kick back
@harley55100 they made them till 90's on some cars maybe even later
they start very easy by hand if the engine was tuned up right.
All these vids and not one person has their thumb in the right place
You had to have a strong arm for this because of the pressure in the cylinders they could easily snap back and break your arm
….so it doesn’t power the car?
….. it should.
That crank is like a mirror in a DSLR - redundant :)
Chevrolet offered a crank start through 1953 on their trucks and 1948 on their cars. Yes this is a '37 Chevy. I have 4 old Chevys and all but one can be cranked since it is a 1950 car.
Farmall Tractors used hand cranks in the 1940's maybe later
@atari26003 Naw it won't break your left arm if you do it right, watch the video "How to Start a "Model T" Ford...should be in the sidebar of this video. It'll show you what I'm talking about.
Fun fact, you searched this up
Hit the 1911 thing and watch this. lol
1937 Chevrolet.
elle ne veut pas
FORD 7Y UK
This is why people are fat these days. We no longer do anything manually.
OMG no two hands just no!!
using a starting handle like that could loss your thumb if your not careful if it kicks back like it did
Lol it couldn't be a 37 because crank starts were pre 1912
No... Even 38 - 40 Chevy's had hand cranks. But also had electric too.
