With a rope?

I've done the CJ-6 once this way, and have seen a photo of a Corsair being started with a rope and three or four guys pulling it
No rope...I was 35 years younger and about 100 lbs lighter and in a heck of a lot better shape back then. In this case, both engines were high time, well worn and didn't have real good compression until they warmed up pretty good. Taxied over for some fuel and both batteries flaked on us. I was the only one tall enough and strong enough to even try it. Got both started, we taxied back to the hangar and started pulling the batteries for replacement.
