yesterday when I pulled our pie truck out of storage the battery was (new) enough to start it once. I had to hand crank it to get it from the filling station to the 18 wheeler hauling it to the old car festival. I need help as I am flying in later this evening. can anyone meet me at the Dearborn hotel with a new battery ( WHICH I WILL PAY FOR TIME AND EXPENSE) Saturday morning 7 am and help install. IT WOULD SUCK if we can not drive it and with a low battery and the colder weather I don't think hand cranking will work. Please email me with a number at Pies@CoCoPieCo.com and thanks in advance MIKE COPPERTHITE

Mike, we are talking 6 volt right. Whoever is going to help you needs to know for sure.

Why battery? Jack up one rear wheel and crank it on mag with the spark lever advanced a few clicks. Worked for millions of Ford owners before 1919 :-)
