I like to share a true story with you. About 1997 I took my 1918 Aultman Taylor 30-60 gas tractor over to the Vanderburgh County fair (Evansville IN). Two nineteen year old guys that I worked with brought there girl friends over to see my tractor. One of the two guys always acted like he was hot stuff. So I offered to let him start the tractor. I handed him the three foot long hand crank. I told him to wait until I had the tractor primed with gas. I went ahead and primed it then closed the pet cocks (compression releases). He placed the crank on the crank shaft and one it came up on compression he was basically doing chin ups with the crank. I then said to the other guy, why don’t you give it a shot. Yes you guessed it I reached down and opened up the pet cocks and He rolled it over and it started right up. You should have seen the facial expressions. I will never forget this.
