BUHANKA- Hand cranking- Cold start. UAZ

In this little short video on my UAZ 452 (2206) Buhanka I try to start the cold engine using the longest hand crank handle in the world....

That looks a superb vehicle; I'm looking forward to seeing you work on it.
Excellent stuff!

Well done with starting it on the handle!
I really love this old UAZ. I have not seen one before and I am looking forward to seeing more videos of it. Keep well. Gord :-)

I love this UAZ! Thank you for the great video!

Ha! I love it! That's a cool feature for an adventure camper. Love the simplicity and design of this car :D. Seems unstoppable and easy to work on.

This is going to be an interesting project! I've seen these on many a Russian travel film on YouTube. Will be interesting to find out more!

Soviet made comrade... Starts right up!

The cranking handle is a really good way to break a wrist it you are not careful with them, I have to say the engine in the UAZ sounds really good amd they are a interesting van and handy with it being a 4x4 . It's a great choice and I'm looking forward to more videos on it.

i have always wanted to have a go at doing this, my latest project has a starting handle, maybe i will try ! Look forward too seeing more on this, its very different.

This van is BADASS it's got fu**ing locking hubs on front axle

Don't wrap your thumb around the crank tho, in case of crank reverse. 😉

Torque works both ways, I guess... 👍😎

Parts might be hard to get for this?? It did start really well. Do they use metric bolts etc or will you need a new tool kit?

[matastijusas]

I come from eastern europe, one that hasnt f*cked around russian machinery wasnt considered a mechanic by the old guys, get ready for challenges :).

[wadethomas]

Wow that's interesting rushing cars still have a crank handle for a '80s car

[JW-YT]

Hey. Could you send me the dimensions of the hand crank? Rod diameter, length etc? I have a UAZ452, but no crank handle and I'd like to make one. Thanks.

Well, it didn't break your wrists, so it did the job... :P
