Start It Up

This guy had to hand crank this machine to start it. He must have cranked it at least a dozen times before it finally caught and stayed running. I think I heard the guy at the controls said it starts on gas but runs on kerosene.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent capture of this old machinery and somewhat of a workout for the operator..

Great action capture of him starting the engine. Amazing how small he looks compared to that wheel!

That's the old way, we have a tractor at Stonefield Village that runs on diesel but starts on gas. Love those steel wheels, nicely done!

And, I believe men like the challenge of these things. Pretty machinery, nice photo.

When you're 100 years plus you might take a few 'cranks' too.
