I retired from Freightliner in 2009 as a Senior Customer Support Rep. I lived this one.

You are absolutely right. I read pneumatic and thought hydraulic! Hydraulic starters are used on big stationary engines and large ship engines. But I still haven't ever seen a spring starter on a truck! BB

Love it Brian but that SR 71 ain't a truck! ( When they were active at Beal AFB they made a turn over my house! Tankers in the morning Blackbirds in the evening. I saw my first Blackbird launching , they gain alt. right off the runway, in 1966. I thought it was a rocket ship!. It was 15 years later that I found out what I had seen. Very top secret!)

Weather my answer matches what your looking for or not ! I know I used spring starters on trucks in hazardous areas ! In Mines, grain mills, Chemical plants Etc On Diesel trucks! You couldn't use electric start because of explosion and fire from gas or dust or fumes! I remember cranking them, and they also spun the engine much faster then an electric starter. Weather they used them in the 30s and 40s I have no Idea! if no one believes me, That's fine I put my 2 cents in.

I remember putting one on a mac truck in a chemical plant that had hydrochloric and sulfuric acid reactors to transport the 10 ft. diameter by 15 ft. glass replacement section for the reactor when I was with a Canadian riggers crew!!!

So I know they were on trucks Even though I cant prove it with google or bing or etc

LOL

Who cares any way; I did but not now!Ive been googling all day LOL and my one finger has a blister from

: smash:

Jester LOL

That's what I like about this thread. You learn something new each day! I did not know that there was a truck application for a spring starter! The missing truck starter I was looking for was the good old Coffman Starter or Shot Gun Starter We had so much fun with it yesterday I thought I could catch you guys. I did receive a private message from a person who knew all the starters I was looking for but didn't want to ask a question. So it's up to you Jester to toss another one out there. Got one about your mother's Turbo-Supercharged High Lift Ironing Board?

She didn't have a fast Ironing board but she had a wicked broom ,I still have bruises on my "A $$" 60 years later!!! LOL Im Looking over my shoulder to see if her spirit is getting ready to cuff me on my head For saying that! God bless mothers!!

Who was the primary builder of Good humor and other Ice cream trucks in the 50s and early 60s and are highly collectable today fill in the blanks again H-----y! Someone should know this without googleing They also made candy, hot tamale's, and other specialty trucks that drove through our neighborhoods with bells or music or a barker yelling "GET YOUR HOT TAMALES, HOT TAMALES HERE" When we were kids!!!

H-----y There's a pony that bears the same name! Wow I made that too easy!

You might like to know that cart is sitting next to the Blackbird at the USAF Museum in Dayton Ohio. A MUST place to visit. And it's free!
