From one old fart to two others, that was TOTALLY pointless ! But such fun---- so why not! Keep it coming. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
That was some kinda fun, bot highly recommended but interesting for sure. Gotta be some kind of the Worlds Record for starting a Semi. You just made History.
You know when you chained up one wheel spider gears come into play and you no longer have 4.1 to 1 ratio. It's more like 2 or maybe 3 to1, which would make it easier to start. The really old timers with the chain drive trucks would take one chain off one wheel, leave it on the sprocket on the differential, secure the chain to the frame so the sprocket can't turn and that truck would fly! My neighbor used to tell stories of an old guy in his town with a chain drive Mack who would do that after a few too many beers. Could only do it when empty, and it was hard on the spider gear bushings. Jack up any vehicle without positract, and see how much faster one wheel turns when you lock up the other.
That has to be, by far and away, and without a shadow of a doubt, the most pointless, dangerous and daft thing I have seen in years, and I totally loved it! 😁
You know what was the best part of this video? They didn't have to mess around with a misfit collection of half dead mismatched batteries, way too long jumper cables, corroded and incorrect connections and debates of 'cereal vs paralyzed' connections to get the subject motor to crank! LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 First, I saw the ghost of Elvis,, on the boom pole of the tiller 👍🏻. Second, how many adult beverages were involved in coming up with this idea 🤷🏻♂️. Third, funniest thing I've seen in a long time...🤣🤣🤣🤣, Great video guy's 👍🏻
Unless you don't put the other wheel on the rear axle on its brakes it ain't gonna do a think accept spin . Or if you lock the rear diff . Otherwise it ain't gonna start the truck you guys . But I guess yall figured that already, right ??
A long time ago we started all manner of trucks and graders with flat belts of the side off the Fordson majors belt drive . Plus we started bore pumps with flat straps around the fly wheel and drive off the old landrovers both the old tractor and our 4x4 all had crank start . Flat belt driven off rear wheel hub of the Toyota 4x4 to start the bigger trucks
Ranger gave its last bit of life for every one's entertainment good stuff.... tried finding your E-mail to reply to about the Wheels. but I was unable to find it. So, I'll make another post of great content, using ranger in another way other than rotting away in yard. great stuff.
You two are like a couple of crazy kids dropping your toy trucks off the roof of the house. As for the statement about the Ranger being scrap, I dunno, I think someone would give you a couple of bucks for those old mag wheels that are on it. :)
I think the Ranger will be ok ! Nothing a good wash 🧼 and some good Turtle 🐢 Wax wouldn’t fix right back up, plus a touch of Armor All ! Have a Blessed Day !
🤣🤣🤣🤣This felt like the Hamiltonville Farms version of "Mythbusters" .....oh my goodness!! Wiley was hanging on as it was tipping forward. I hope yall come up with some more creative stuff. Way too much fun....but that's a good thing! By the way, I saw ELVIS on the telehandlers boom😎
I won't tell my son. He could have used the cab and right front fender............but dang it that was funny! I challenge you to pull start it by hand next. Nah, just kiddin'. Have fun and be safe! Cheers Terry
Sometimes it makes more sense to let old stuff go. I’m sure the old truck had long hard life. Plus side is scrap is up pretty good here In Mississippi or at least it was couple weeks ago.
tell me again what type of plants does your missus grow, and does she know you + wiley have been sampling the crop too much, way too much best thing ive seen in a long time, and wiley is still alive somehow
We had a old log loader crane that dad loaded logs with an it didn't have a starter on it so he would take the haywire drum on our yarder and hook it to the boom to spin it around and someone would pull the friction on that loader once one had the other moving an sure enough to make it spin around, he would pull on the friction lever an it would bust it off...
The higher the gear, the easier it’ll turn the motor over. When I push start a car, second is better than first gear but third is better than second. You hit on it earlier, 1:1 would be a good gear ratio to be doin this in and it won’t load up your pull strap so hard when you yank on it.
▶️ Watch us crank a 10 wheel truck: th-cam.com/video/AS-9tGfUXGc/w-d-xo.html
i don't think that ranger will be working any time soon. any body got a new engine for it?
😁
Great to see 2 older generation guys having fun and laughing like school kids. Great video folks. Happy weekend
Thanks much!
From one old fart to two others, that was TOTALLY pointless ! But such fun---- so why not! Keep it coming. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
lol. True
Thanks for watching!
That was ABSOLUTELY the craziest way I have ever seen to start a vehicle. But, you did it and that's all that counts. 👏 Congrats on your success.
Right on! Thanks!
Absolutely hilarious!
Wiley was going to go down with the ship funny as heck when it started
Wiley is one cool customer. A lot of guys would have panicked when the Lull started tipping. Cool Hand Wiley!
Look at those two guys over there working oh it’s Hank and Wiley 😂
Lol. 👍
Best video ever. I wished we had the close up of Wiley's face when that telehandler rear got"light" hahahahah
That was cool.. That was worth a shot. I really like the Ford ranger wheels
I don't believe that's the recommended method for starting a tractor...but it's the most entertaining one that I've ever seen. LOL
lol
Very cool!! Obviously, Wiley is the "brains uh de outfit"!! LOL
lol. Yep
Just As Hilarious as the first time, Hank. I can’t wait to see what You & Wiley dream up next.
Cool! Thanks for watching!
This is what happens when good ole boys have too much time on their hands 🤣🤣🤣
That was great! Not only did it work Wiley went for a free amusement park ride!
Lol
That was some kinda fun, bot highly recommended but interesting for sure. Gotta be some kind of the Worlds Record for starting a Semi. You just made History.
Lol. Maybe

I was thinking the same thing
Glad you two had fun most of all
👍👍

That has to be, by far and away, and without a shadow of a doubt, the most pointless, dangerous and daft thing I have seen in years, and I totally loved it! 😁
Lol

Lol
Well gentleman that was fantastic still laughing 😆 fun times

Can't believe you ruined a brand new truck!!! That old Ranger just disintegrated, amazing..Funny stuff!

Loool gotta love southern engineuity there's a guy on TH-cam who took a 454 big block put it on a riding lawnmower 🤣😂

Lol. For sure
Elvis was on the boom of the lift great video
Yep! Thanks for watching
Very cool and funny experiment guys, well done 👊😎👍

Thanks for watching!

Old trucks stop being useful when it costs more to fix them than replace them.
I'm beyond words except for LMAO.
Lol
I bet walleys pucker factor kicked in on that deal. Tha ole ranger ready to be scrapped now
😂
Amazing!!! Your best video to date!
Thanks!
best use of a ford ranger to this day!
Man i would live to hang out for a weekend with you cats. I bet it would be a fun weekend. You two are a handle full of triuble
Good one I laughing my but off
That was freaking awesome Hank and Wylie!! Merry Christmas to you and yours Gents. How cool was that?
Thanks much!
Need a closer look on his face when it lifted the back of the jlg went from fun to oh sh*t.
Who needs batteries and a starter, when you have a telehandler and a old ford.
If we all stopped watching, would you still be doing these crazy starts? I don’t think so. Lol
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there were a Nobel Prize in your future.
😁
No more packing batteries .lol
Lol
Y'all some awsome guys love your channel!
Thanks!
Wiley went for a ride at the end.
tell me again what type of plants does your missus grow, and does she know you + wiley have been sampling the crop too much, way too much
best thing ive seen in a long time, and wiley is still alive somehow
😂😂

Cheers!
That was crazy and hilarious, and it actually worked! Awesome video Hank!
Thanks much! We appreciate you watching
awesome funny as hell rally like those rim on the ranger have never seen a ranger with those rims
👍
The higher the gear, the easier it’ll turn the motor over. When I push start a car, second is better than first gear but third is better than second. You hit on it earlier, 1:1 would be a good gear ratio to be doin this in and it won’t load up your pull strap so hard when you yank on it.
How's the process of getting the john deere 310g to move forward going since i noticed it in the background ? 😄
