Another common method on the T model was to jack up one of the rear wheels while cranking if you were starting on magneto instead of battery. Made it a lot easier to get things spinning fast enough to get a charge from the mag. It also helped with cold weather starts. I used to have a 1925 Model TT, which was the one ton truck version of the Model T. Kind of wish I had kept it, as it was a fun toy to play with. Guess I better stop talking about the T models, or I may get kicked out of the stovebolt brother hood :-)
