Hand cranking

[bonzai]

Here is a gentle poll of mild interest for all

I my self have only attempted and suceeced in starting my 74 55 twice this way.
Allways makes a great wow facter.

Just the other day i used it with the valve cover of to show my step daughter how it all moves in there. SHe was very impressed.

 

[FJBen]

Option...have a winch on front...not sure if it still works with that...

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

I have yet to start a pig with the crank. I think I am a little unsure as to exactly how to do it and I have read horror stories of folks breaking limbs (almost anyway...) trying. Soooo, I am waiting for a demonstration or until I am really bored one day and feeling daring.

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

Oh yeah, my answer did not best fit one reply so I did not vote...

 

[cruiser_guy]

How about the "Skip the hand crank routine and just find a a hill that I can jump start on!" option.

 

[MiniPigg]

I only use it when I adjust my valves. last time i tried to start a pig I bent the handle.

 

[Adventure Teq]

I guess that you can do this on a 40 too right? Got a pic of what this handle looks like?

 

[surfpig]

My one chance so far was last month and I forgot! Ran the battery dead with the ARB fridge, party lights and stereo. I do use it to lower the spare tire, though...

retrieve your crank
insert in similarly shaped hole in the front
line up with cut outs on the bottom pulley and start cranking away

You forgot the option for "Pig didn't come with a back seat or crank handle"

I also bent mine the first time I tried it, but have used it to spin things around. Picked up another out of a 72, it was shorter than mine,

By no means did I intend to alienate anyone with the poll
However with that being said may you have good cruiser karma today

 

[bonzai]

Man bending the handle
did you have a bad angle on it

 

[Landpimp]

the lower the compresion of your motor, the easier is will be to hand crank

this is the hand crank, new $20 from Toyota

Only time Ive used the hand crank was when changing rod bearings.
