getting a non starting car on a trailer
In my haste to move out of my apartment I'm stuck with a non starting project car that I need to get on a trailer. Any ideas on how best to do this? How many people would it take to push it onto the trailer? Can I use the starter and feather the clutch to get it up there?

Maybe buy a cheap 2000lb winch?
Get a tow strap and pull it on with a second vehicle parallel to the truck and trailer.
Or put it in gear listen to the starter cry.

Thanks guys, I have a cable wench puller back at home. Sounds like the appropriate solution.
I've pushed them, used the starter, used another car to pull them, and have a come-along. Come-along is what I use most of the time and is the easiest/safest. It takes several positions to pull it up onto a trailer though.
put it in gear, use the starter. Sounds horrible, works fine. Got to have a good battery.
Surely a come along is to be had? All else fails it sure is nice an audi will crank in while in gear!
and a good starter!!!death 4kqt said:put it in gear, use the starter. Sounds horrible, works fine. Got to have a good battery.
crude but works if its all you can do.
Winch or come-along, best way to do it...
