Guest 1930 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) That is probably not the problem, in most any other country outside the U.S including most third world nations commodities are not as disposable as they are in the U.S. They actually have to use their heads and refurbish items and still have the skills to be able to do these things.I was initially only making a joke ( hopefully my attempt at humor was not totally lost) but it prob would have been more correct to say that chances are they just dont have the money to invest in a new/re-furbushed battery. Looks like red-neck ingenuity Rusky style Edited October 14, 2011 by 1930 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 As 2251DB says: this method of starting was common in the old days. It was a lot easier with large dia spoked wheels too. U just jacked her up grabbed the spokes and gave the wheel a good spin. At least u didn't have to worry about broken wrists or arms!Compressions ratios were low and there were no LSD diffs or electronic ignitions etc to consider either.CheersManuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
