Thats some funny sh**
I Could Just Kick Myself for........
Well......I know I read some comments a few days ago but I can't find them now. I know ALL of us have had this thought at LEAST once in our automotive dealings.
Like the day I lost my temper and practically gave away the '31 Chevy 2D Sedan, or the '34 Coupe, or the '57 Anglia Gasser, OR........
Anyway......I pass by a local tourist attraction quite often and occasionally stop and do the honors so deserved. Today I stopped and took this picture. Probably should have taken "one" in the rear just for good measure.

Ya rob that's one machine we all would must visit a quite a few times a year ! ! Also the thread you may be looking for, I posted after my trip to Carlisle, I'll have to dig that up.....
That was my recent post about replacing my starter when the solenoid was loose! And that machine is way better than mine! Mine only has one boot and a pull rope!
Sometimes simple is better, Vall. Less to go wrong.

Looks like it's at the Swap Meet?????
From the look of the wood it looks fairly new?????
Yup, yer right John, it was at GM Carlisle this summer. And it did appear fairly new.
Two of my favorite words..... Carlisle & Summer !!!!!Yup, yer right John, it was at GM Carlisle this summer. And it did appear fairly new.
Oh Ya , Summer
It's flawed engineering! Looks like the rope is hooked to the side that would pull the boot away, not towards your butt!
I was hoping that you were supposed to face away from it and that the rope went down through an eye and back up to the lever.
I should have posted this with the first post but I'm getting forgetful .....or something in my old age. This is a link to the history on the "Original" kicking machine.

Vall the rope goes down to a pulley and returns up to the lever to pull it down. OUCH ! !It's flawed engineering! Looks like the rope is hooked to the side that would pull the boot away, not towards your butt!
Nope , but can you imagine running it threw a few pullies......
