Wolfgang, here's a few opinions:

Model T - yes, start the car by turning the handle at the front.

'he dragged her down' - "tracked" is more likely if it's searching. Dragged her down means to reduce her social status (plenty of rich young ladies falling for ploughboys etc)

mooning - walking around in a daze with a moon-face (usually a sign of infatuation)

cooked - could be said, but it might more likely be hooked (like an angler hooks a fish)

love can boo me - never heard this, and no idea what else it might be

split log seems OK to me. I wouldn't go for split-log

parton - that is a "parting" in the hair. In Britain men usually part their hair on the left and women on the right - unless they have a centre-parting of course!

Wassail! V
