Are you in Winfield?
Here I am in the old folks' home, without a T. I haven't hand-started an old car since September 7, 2023. I've been wondering if I'm now physically up to the task. Probably so, but it would be nice to give it a try and see if I can still crank-start. Does anybody on the forum have a running T near or in Winfield, KS, that I could try to start? If so, contact me through the forum, and we can pick a date and time of day.
The inevitable often happens.

Who is paying for rehab and your deductible if you hurt yourself? Asking for a friend.

That there is just pure love for the T...
I hope to keep cranking my '14 for years to come, but with the rebuild this year I'm adding a ringed flywheel and starter mag in case I ever need to swap out to a hogshead w/starter

Steve,
When my starter was out some time ago, you sent me a link of you hand cranking your Model T. I can still see it in my mind.
Thanks,
Vernon

Re: Are you in Winfield?
If I were closer, Id find a T,pick you up and do a road trip to the Old Car Festival with you! Hopefully someone can swing this for you? Good luck with your quest to crank a T again.
