rwoods Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This was used on ford tractors around the 1940s to 1950s, give or take a few yearsF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It works by threading it into one of the spark plug holes, staring the engine and you fill the flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I was always amazed at the system, because it would seem that the air in the tire would be somewhat explosive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have one like that and I believe it is from the twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was always amazed at the system, because it would seem that the air in the tire would be somewhat explosive! This one seems to have holes on the side to allow fresh air to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The fitting looks identical to one I had used many, many years ago. I recall I smelled raw fuel when I used it and the hose got very warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
