Pull starting a big truck

Yep had to pull start a guy behind me in line. Starter died, had a new one in the box but he didn't get it on in time. Works the same as any other vehicle.

 

works alot better if you drop the trailer on the truck being pulled..

 

done it a bunch of times. if your in a pinch without a true tow strap you can use a tire chain(not recomended but it will work) pulling truck use 1st or 2nd, truck being pulled use 6th or the first gear on the high side.

 

Pull start? Of course

 

The bumpers come off much easier if the tractor being pulled is in the lowest gear! Not that I know that from personal experience, just observed.

 

Winchester Magnum.... That is great, I love that...

 

Same transmission . Autoshift has clutch but have never tried to go above 3rd in manual for taking off. No reason it shouldn't though if you can get it into 5-6 and computer doesn't say no.

 

I had to get pushed started by a forklift once at Sunsweet in Yuba City CA. Alternator wasn't charging the batteries. Had a double set of empty flatbeds and tared about 24,500 so it wasn't to hard to get moving. Turned the key on, put it in 5th with the clutch in, got pushed, let the clutch out and put it right back down soon as it started up and was on my way soon after. Made it to Knights Landing before that 3176 Cat died and put me on the shoulder. Throttle kept cutting out, stop lights didn't work. Was probably best it quit before the DOT seen it anyway.
