hello a freind has a 1910 t with a newly rebuilt engine ,engine is tight are there any good ways other than towing to get it started? hand cranking just doesnt seem to be doing it. thanks
 
Mine was pretty tight as well. As I didnt yet have a starter for it, I rigged up a 1/2 BIG drill motor and made a mandrel to drive the hand crank crab, and spent a few hours spinning it on several occasions. The head was on but the plugs were out.
As an alternative, towing without plugs in high gear at 5 mph for a few spins around the block will surely loosen it up. Make sure oil is full, and DONT tow by the front axle; frame only! ws

And finally the first start up with a starter motor! Started so easy I couldnt believe it. Notice smoke from anti seize on exhaust nut...
