I was moving my 76 to the carport to start working on her......but when i tried cranking the engine it wouldn't turn ....so I had somebody else try starting it ....then I could see that the fan would barely turn.....so I brought my car to jump it...and it would start turning but still was having a hard time.....then it finally turned on.......could someone please tell me what the problem/s could be....thanks

 

? maybe the batt is no good? what kind of fan you have, a clutch fan? another thing, is it cold where you are?

That's what I was thinking the battery was no good....the fan is a clutch fan...and yea it was about 30 degrees yesterday ......

 

It could just be that the cold drained the battery down.After you get it started,let it run for about 20 minutes to let the alternator charge it back up and it should be ok.
