Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | I remember seeing them for a Wisconsin engine on a Pull-type Case combine that Dad had when I was young. He also had one with the handle cut off and stub welded on it. He would put the stub in the drill chuck on his 1/2" HD Black & Decker electric drill. The drill was very powerful as it was geared down considerably.
He would sometimes use that to get the engine started. If you killed the engine by slugging in the field, it was terribly difficult to get it started again. He would often give up and drive back to the place, drag out the drill and cord and start it that way. I think the engines vapor locked when killed hot. I think the time it took to drive back to the yard and get the drill and cord out gave the engine time to cool off and it might have started by hand then. |
Any idea what these hand cranks are from.
