When everything is working right, they will start in any weather. My father told me, in the 40’s, he’d take the engine oil out at the end of the day, keep it by the camp stove overnight then put it back in in the morning. It was the first D6 that came here after the war.
i always open decompression lever for a little while to let oil pressure build and warm up pony better then put on compression i have started mine 40 wt oil minus 24 it grunts but does it what does you,re motor do in a big log my dad had a circle mill 56in
Can't understand why you simply didn't decide to remove the power unit from the obviously inoperable so-called track dozer & place engine on a stand fully enclosed the engine in a heated box shed & have instant Start up of the engine because it's at or near room barrametric temperature ready to run again instantly rather than this exposed to the elements froze up constantly in the winter & nothing but a confirmed waste of time and effort trying to get it running for a few boards of cutting, seems to me to be a useless & desperate setup here & super amateur.
@@3406Accert there is several answers. I fully admit that I am an amateur and not a professional. I also never intended on making this a commercial Enterprise the purpose of the sawmill was to Millwood to use here on the homestead. And third I had to use equipment that I have on hand I don't have the financial resources to buy a dedicated power plant.
That dozer is still operational. It drove itself onto that hill, it'll drive back off, if needed. BTW, It's called The Tractor Rescue Ranch for a reason. If it ain't working, fix it. If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it. Tom, as big and as fast as your channel is growing, you're going to get a few really strange commenter's. Water off a duck's back. Can't wait for Spring hay season. ❤❤❤❤

My father-in-law did the same with his Land Rover (diesel engine powered ) Apparently worked well too.
@@Railfan6675 thanks for commenting I have heard of a lot of people doing things like that. The old-timers were very capable of getting things done
Nowdays we would have to modify plans if someone sent us real 2x4s.

Get a life, and don't belittle what others decide to do with their time and money.
