1939 McCormick Deering W-30 - Starting Up Antique Tractor for 1st time. Tractor had stuck motor and has been sitting for who knows how long (20-50 years). Restoration started recently and have gotten to the point of starting it up. Enjoy
thats a good way to break your thumb.allways keep your thumb on the same side of the crank handle as your fingers are so if it does happen to backfire on starting and they do it wont break your thumb the crank handle will just give you a good wack on the back of the hand
Good day When you were trying to crank it, My dad always said put thumb behind crank. Is this one prone to kicking? I never had any problems . Our neighbor had a W-30, I only recognize back wheels, put flat head V-8 in it. Could not keep it cool. Thanks
