I use my old Cub Cadet to push and pull a dead car. In fact I'll have to use it tomorrow to move my 1999 Olds to a better spot in the driveway so I can get my Model A out of the garage to go get repair parts. Last Tuesday I had drive to the post office to return the generator to the ebay scammer, but my Olds had zero spark. Sure won't be an easy diagnostic and fix like the Model A ignition system would be.

BTW, the Honda generator when received looked nothing like the nice clean ebay pictures, so ebay sent me a return label to print, and gave me a full refund. So, if you get scammed by some jerk, be sure to take pictures right away and let ebay know about it. I've had a few parts arrive that were less than expected, but this is the first time for such a blatant scam, where I had to return an item.

If you don't have a yard tractor up to the pushing job, then I'd go with a winch in the garage.
