Far Away Farm
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 เม.ย. 2021
Small farm on Minnesota Iron Range. Working on field improvements and trying to raise a few more beef. Kind of working on the small diversified family farm model. We milk a Jersey cow, keep poultry, usually raise a few pigs. We do all our own meat processing, make cheese, and do a lot of canning when the garden does good. Our heating is all done with wood which we cut on the back 40. We invite you to come along for the good and bad.

Great video ! 👍
@@screwsnutsandbolts Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
@@farawayfarm2520 You're welcome
that guy obviously has no clue how to start that machine! you never use ether on an engine like that, if used properly the starting engine will warm it in any weather.
That guy is my 21 year old son who rescued that dozer from being scrapped. There are still some issues with the machine that he is working through. 3 inches of rust and sludge in the fuel tank being the main issue right now. I guess I'll make a proper starting video when he has everything perfect.

Definitely a pound your chest moment when the pony makes her fire. I have a pony start D7, D6, and 2- D4's, real machines. Love this video.
@@BoysInTheWoodsofPA Thanks. We're having some fuel issues. We should have probably looked what what was in the bottom of tank. More video to come.
@farawayfarm2520 you will sort it out. I am sure you know, keep your coolant up and check your oil levels, it will outlive you. Great iron to have around.
@BoysInTheWoodsofPA No doubt we will sort it out. Thanks.
I have not watched the full video. With that said, if you're not wrapping them bails, there's no way those balls won't be dusty.
I also remember the old TD cornbinders where the whole motor started on gas and then switched over to diesel
I've never had one of those but I've seen it done. Thanks. 👍
always enjoy a old cold start . thanks guys !

@@DeanToth-oo9ff Thanks for watching. This one spent most of it's hours in a local mine. If the guys running D10s and 11s in the mines around here now had to push waste with this one they would have a little learning to do. 🙂
That model came with the deluxe seat…
@@thegrandbanks Isn't that seat a beauty?😁 We were told it came out of a junked mini van. It's kind of nice for a passenger.
Dad had one of these but if i remember it was a cable dozer
@@oldswede9307 Almost all of them were cable dozers. Hydraulic was an option on the late ones. This one was bought new by a local mine and went through a few other owners before it got here.

15 - 40 is TOO heavy, of SAE . Should be 10 - 30....or even 5 - 20 ALL HEAVY DUTY , DIESEL engine oils. (old trucker )
@@petersack5074 You are entirely correct. Cody put some fresh 15-40 in when he was rescuing the dozer and we haven't put a lighter winter oil in.
Good video
@AmandaVanDenBergh-m2s Thank you
does the pony motor warm the big motor when its running ? like on a 720 jd ??
@@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 Just like that. The head was pretty warm by the time she fired.

@@edwardfinn4141 👍🙂
Awesome!
@@trinitydairy Thanks. This beast is a whole new level of hard starting.
Stupid boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... he puts aid for starting but these gaz will stay on the oil of the air filter and never arrive to engine!!!!!!!!................ stupid record of video...
15/40 is a summer oil. Way too heavy for the winter. I run either 0/30 or 0/40 all year long. On start up, that engine will be lacking oil pressure for maybe a minute with 15/40.
@@LarsDcCase For the light use this gets we will probably go to 10/30 year around.
Di ciekawe brawo🎉❤
@@adamkrolikowski892 Thanks. 👍🙂
Woohoo, the beast started. I wish it was that white here.🪵🌳👌
@@pinesedgefarm1155 The last couple of warm days kind of beat up the snow but it's still white here. Supposed to cool off, which is good for wood making. My swamp has no frost yet.
I had to use the hand crank to start the pony on our D8 2U. I was operating when I was 16. Once, I helped my uncle change the fuel filters and we seized the pony trying to start the D8.
@@BobbyStanaland Hand cranking the Pony doesn't sound like a great time. I think we have some fuel work to do on this one. She sat too long and needs a little TLC.
Ah i remember them days . . That old gal has a slight case of Asthma . We had days tyen to get them fire up that we would break the intake pipe loose from the air cleaner and get a rag and soak it in diesel fuel and light it on fire then hold it up to the intake pipe and let it suck the flame in . That did the trick everytime .
That's a trick I've never done. Sounds interesting. Fortunately we don't have anything to do with it that's so important that we can't wait for a warmer day. I know what it's like to absolutely need to get something running today and it just wants to fight you.
Should never need ether with a pony. Also sounds like the pony is way down on power. It should be revving to the moon while turning the main engine. That will build heat in the cylinders. (All our diesel equipment in the 60's and 70's had pony start.)
@@beyondmiddleagedman7240 You're correct. This dozer needs a lot of fine tuning yet. Cody got it running this fall and hauled from where it was before it got scrapped.
She's a cold old girl!!!! Thanks for sharing!
@@rodneymiddleton9624 Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciate it.
I have to ask this question. I grew up on a farm, and I know exactly what you're doing. Cuz, my dad had several pieces of equipment and AD9 dozer, and uh, but I'm listening to you guys talk back-and-forth, and I cannot help to notice, are you from Canada? Because you definitely have The accent of a kanuck, i just think it's adorable. I just wanted to pick on you a little bit, you guys make me laugh. I'm listening to you. You're just so adorable, and thank you for the video
@@christinesmith8187 I love your comment. 😁 I am not from Canada. 🤣 I was born and raised in the UP of Michigan so what I have is a Yooper accent. I moved to the Minnesota Iron Range 13 years ago which certainly didn't do anything to make me lose my accent. I don't hear an accent in the people here but they say I still have one. Thanks for watching.
We still have an old 1958 d7 with a pony, and I live in East Texas I couldn't imagine trying to get something started up where you live. Especially if you had to do that every day on a job site back in the 50s and 60s I guess that's why they kept them running 24 hours a day My dad said back in the war when he was in Alaska they used to leave them running and they had to park them up on a log or something so they wouldn't freeze to the ground
@@golfbravowhiskey8669 That is why they kept them running. We did it a few times when I was logging and it was ridiculously cold. Parking on logs or brush is something that is still done around here. My little 40 dozer is sitting on some sticks right now. Starting equipment in this environment can turn real interesting in a hurry.
Great video
@@KevinChristiansen-i2q Thank you. Glad you liked it.
I remember the old pony start we had. The one thing you made sure of was to disengage the clutch before you stalled it or you have to go thru all the that pony start crap all over again. I don’t miss it.🥵
@@glennjohnso310 That is definitely the drawback to the system. Once it kicks out you have to start over.
What's with the twin stacks?
@@tomhoffman9729 The high performance version of that engine actually had twin stacks from CAT. This is not the high performance engine but Cody and his buddy decided that it would be cooler that way so they built some. Kids 🤷♂️
@@farawayfarm2520 Never seen anything like that from Cat.
Cody was out there killing it Persistence paid off Full watch Will
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 She was a little stubborn. Thanks Gary.
Good morning Will That doesn’t look like a whole lot of fun
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 Some people have a low pain tolerance, I have a low fun tolerance. 🤣 It doesn't take much to entertain me.
So much ether !! Not good for the engine at all !! Bearings and other metal on metal... Ether dissolves oil... so all the lightly lubed components are now void of oil. Metal on metal in the engine... means killing the engine. sigh...
@@DT-ge8gd Yes ether is not my preferred starting method. I'm well aware of the negatives but sometimes it's a necessary evil.
You use gas work the same way
@@charlespryce7067 👍
Isn't that an exaggeration? It's not that much volume and is very volatile so that's it's gone very fast.
@@joewoodchuck3824 It doesn't take much. The volatility is high, yes, but still. 100ml will vanish untouched at STP in about 15-30 mins. Longer at cold temperatures as in the video. That's a long time in my books for it to be doing it's thing. It dissolves oil VERY fast. And doing this again and again... That was at least 1/4 of a can as a guess. That's about 80-100ml of ether. That's enough to dissolve grease and oil clean off a metal plate lets say that is about 1m x 1m (~3.3 x 3.3 feet) I wouldn't use it.
A pony motor was a genius idea , No batteries to go dead .
@@michelgrenier1878 In the time these were built it certainly was a great idea for starting a motor that big. The exhaust heat warming the intake is a big help too.
Motor sounds pretty good .Maybe a little air in the fuel system ?
@@wilmamcdermott3065 We're having a few troubles yet. I think we have some ice in the fuel tank. This old girl sat a long time before coming here.
I remember when you use to be able to buy those old D8 2Us for a $1,000 $1,500 bucks
@@adamkolm6711 Absolutely. They were too big for most people to want them. This one had problems with the Pony motor clutch and wouldn't start so they just wanted it removed.
Doesnt cranking with the compression released just suck cold air through it? I thought the idea was for the pony engine to heat it.
@@brockwaymt The Pony exhaust warms up the intake manifold so the air going into pistons is warmer when you close the rack to get compression. The pistons are still building heat through compression even with valves open. The other critical part of starting one of these is that the fuel pressure has to be high enough. There is a pressure gauge on the injection pump on the right side, it needs to be in the green before you turn the fuel on and attempt starting. I didn't really show that. Maybe I'll make a video someday showing how everything works. Thanks for watching and the comment.
thanks for the sounds and smells

Nice tractor and really cool story. I’ve never owned one but I have quite a few 20 series and a couple of 30 series. I have a cool story about my dad’s 430 on my channel.
I'll have to come over and check it out. The 50 is a fun tractor to have around. I like running a two cylinder sometimes.
Happened to find your channel from a comment you left on Bryce’s channel. Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve started a pony motor Cat. I’ll stick around and watch some other stuff.
Thank you very much. Bryce was one of my first subscribers. I'm hoping to meet the man in person one of these days. There should be more dozers and wood making videos coming soon.
@@farawayfarm2520 perfect. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Cranky ol girl!!
@@rexkramer4938 She can be a little moody. Thanks Rex.
That is so impressive looking. Smoke is a good thing with that beast. Sounds like an old John Deere when it’s starting. That’s a lot of work to start for a lot of capability when you get her going.
@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn The Pony motor is 2 cylinder. I believe it was the D4 and the JD model R that used the same pony. The Pony on the D-8 has more HP than the engine on the 40. Cody is going to work on the fuel issues today while it's warm. We ran out the old stuff in the tank and got some fresh fuel in there.
@@farawayfarm2520Our D-8 had a crank start opposed twin pony motor, and a D-2 with pull cord start pony motor. So glad l bought a Russian diesel tractor in 1993. Even my father was shocked how quickly the BELARUS started in 15°f weather. We even had an old CATERPILLAR fifteen gas
@tcmits3699 Sounds like you have experience with these things. 👍 I have seen the opposed two cylinder pony but never worked on one. My 2520 diesel JD is a wonderful starter in the cold.
