Here’s a trick l learned from a neighbour starting an ancient, well worn Briggs and Stratton twelve hp grain auger motor. It was an extremely cold January morning in southern Alberta. I was thirteen years old and my job was to shovel grain into the auger. I remember being very sceptical of getting that old motor to run on such a cold morning, but Jerry seemed quite confident. He took a small rag and tied it on the end of a piece of #9 wire. He then dipped it into the gas tank and lit it with a match. It actually burned lazily because it was so cold. He held it under the carburetor bowl until it burned out. He then set the choke and wrapped the starter rope and gave it one good pull. That little engine started immediately and ran like it was the middle of July. That was over fifty years ago.
Right you are man, problem is most old school beaten engines are covered in gas/oil which catch fire quite effectively let's say lol Not as a doosh bag rather more of a save your life/engine atleast, just use a simple propane torch. Turn it on low Infront of the carb with choke set obviously. She'll fire up as if you were soaking her with straight either!
Grandfather always poured a kettle of boiling water over the carb of his light plant when it got cold up in northern Canada. Of course it was right by the house so a boiled kettle was right on hand.
My grandfather left Sweden 100 years ago. He came to the US because his cousin promised him a job. He had a small kerosene heater that he put under cars when it was very cold. It was in his garage when I last saw it in the 1970s. Nice video and machines. Good Luck, Rick
Takes me back to fond memories (and some not so fond ones!) of the 60s and 70s, working on similar machines and my first tractor driving on a TE20 with blocks on the pedals in 1952!
Thank you this brought back many memories. I used one of these every year to take firewood out of the forest. Many times in the snow. Then I bought a valmet with a good heater
And I thought that my 1988 ARGO Magnum was old... I love every vehicule that has tracks and especially old ones. This piece of machinery is absolutely admirable and beautiful in it's simplicity. There is almost something poetic radiating from the soul of this small courageous friendly beast. The sound of the engine is saying " I think I can...I think I can..." Thank you Sir for your love of old iron and the passion that you put in giving them another life.
I like that a short time ago, this was an abandoned piece of equipment, and now it is a useful tool. When i was younger, i enjoyed working outdoors in all weather. Now when there is snow on the ground, I like to watch younger people work outside.
Some times i forget that i'm 27 years old. I have always felt that i would fit better as older in some way. Hoping for a Benjamin Button effect perhaps. But the older i get, i sure do realize that im not getting any younger, and already feel a bit older in my body and a little younger in my mind. It's not made to make any sense it seems. Better work hard when I can, or perhaps work smarter. But I don't find working smart as fun as working manually and with old machines combined with some higher level of danger. /Richard

The older I get, the more I appreciate older equipment. It’s easy to fix, generally built to last longer, and if maintained properly, rarely lets you down. Ps. I love that you look like your going to the neighborhood pub for a brew while spending a day outside working.
I appreciate this stuff too but it’s important to remember survivorship bias: we only see the machines that have survived this long, which some always will. That doesn’t mean it was poorly made, just that we’ve made a lot of iterations since then to improve reliability, longevity, and efficiency.
My mother's uncle had a Ford tractor with tracks l like that. The tracks ran over the drive wheels to smaller wheels on mid-mounted stub axles. He lived in Maine, where the winters were quite cold and snowy. I am glad you are keeping so much old iron alive and in use
Fordsons, like Major or Super Major with tracks and middle wheel were usual in 60’s and early 70’s and started the forest machinery era in Finland. Later they have evolved to Timberjacks, Ponsses and Komatsus.
Videos like this are excellent for explaining why people love ATV and UTV for work around the farm. Small, maneuverable, and can pull a decent load. My Polaris 425 plows my driveway easily with a blade and chains.
Fantastic video sir, that's a lovely little tractor you've got there. In the UK there were similar things but it was more like a very small caterpillar tractor. I appreciate you videotaping all the restoration and updating, it's very worthwhile, thank you!
@@YesterdaysMachinery Just be careful from vibrating chainsaws in the cold. Jonsared makes excellent low vibration commercial models. That damage will sneak up on you in the cold 🥶 Of course gel pad gloves may help. But check the specs on different machines. The '61 thumper is probably not so bad.
You can use a long fan belt and a 6" hand held grinder to spin the engine over faster and way easier on your arms. We used spaced washers to act as the grinders pulley, and ran the fan belt around pull start drum. Start the grinder and pull to tension the fan belt. Worked every time.
Hi there Richard! - Stumbled across your awesome channel [in my YT-feed], and started with *''Best of the Old Sawmill in Sweden''* - until I reached the 'Skogsbjørn', or 'Forest Bear', and as a native of the bear's country of origin, I was pleased to see the three episodes you made featuring this 'One-man-tank'! What an absolutely unique piece of machinery you happened to get your hands on by way of that auction, and the down-to-earth filming & editing you've done, documenting all the mechanical skills & effort you've put down, and the resulting fun you've shared with us with this little ''Monster''! . . . You're a born _natural_ Richard, and you've _definitely_ earned yourself a brand new sub! Wish you and all your family a happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year - 2023! . . . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💓👍from your neighboring 🇳🇴 !
Another cinematic masterpiece. Old machinery working as it should and beautiful scenery. Thanks for this , it reminds me of Alberta Canada in the winter.
Sad really, everything these days is disposable or consumable. That is of course until the raw resources start to runout and we finally go back to things that last. Awesome machine by the way!
The more I see your little tractor, the more it amazes... As soon as that little motor was dragging the logs, the motor smoothed out nice and quiet... Just like a diesel under load. When uou experiment with yhe plug heat range, you might research different fly wheels too. Some extra weight and even a rubber harmonic dampened might make the ride nicer and protect that little flathead too!
I am amazed at your success over the videos from the time you purchased it to the actual log hauling! What a tremendous effort and in such a beautiful country. Congratulations from Australia, I look forward to seeing more of your projects.
That is one treat watching you with that tracked beauty. When you pulled out the 1962 saw reminded me of my 1958 David Bradley saws. They weren't fast but they'd pull out the sawdust. Good video , keep them coming .
The old timers had those as they worked up here in the woods of Maine. They called them "jitter bugs". Although they usually had truck engines and various hand built tracks over the tires.
Great video, the Forest Bear wasn't even working hard! I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw the title. I love old machinery, and your Forest Bear is pretty high up on my list of favorites. Loved the vintage feel of everything, too 🙂
Safety just wasn't a priority in the olden days. In the US safety regs on power equipment didn't really take hold until the 1980's! So, it's good that you're aware of just how dangerous these machines can be. Your videos are like a living history museum. I hope many more tens of thousands of people discover you. I sure wish my Dad was alive to see this. He'd have been blown away.
Cool little machine and a great demonstration of equipment and methods used in the old days. Right down to the lack of PPE and before Soren Erickson's Game of Logging felling techniques were taught. ;)
Thank you for your video. It provides me with a lot of knowledge and admiration for your work. It also makes me think that the real ecology is not (e.g.) having brand-new electric cars (that needed a countless quantity of energy to be built using also countless energy to 'process' the old ones). A more efficient ecology is to reuse (and keep operational) all the already produced goods and machinery because buying spare parts is always more ecological that buying new devices.
It's so good that your using old equipment, this stuff is still so usable & reliable as you prove plus you don't need to be a Brain Surgeon to operate them 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Approximately -4F, and he is out working with just a tweed jacket and a pair of gloves to mitigate the heat loss. Amazing. I have operated old chain saws like that one that required a fairly rich mixture of oil in the gas a few times, and the fumes are a lot more noxious than from a modern saw. I don't miss them at all.
Hi Richard, such a joy to watch the Forest Bear in action... and is such a beautiful environment. Cold starts in minus 20 cant be fun, I'm glad it doesn't get that cold in my part of the world. Roger.
The machine is called TimmerBjörn, has two forwards gears and a reverse. Owns one that also has a winch and a rollbar. Fantastic to get around on soft ground with a minimal ground pressure.
Hi! Glad that there is more than mine still around! This one got 2 workspeed forwards plus one 3rd, but that one is crazy fast. Im only using 1 and 2. /Richard
I love watching old machines brought back to life and used as they were intended. Bravo!

This is probably the neatest small tractor I've ever seen. I'm keeping my eyes open for something similar. I really want one.
Yes, lots of fun. And some use also. If you find one, buy it!
Good luck. I been looking too. They are hard to find her in the USA
@@billybob7848 ha! Even mundane stuff, like David Bradley waking tractors, are becoming hard to find (at a reasonable price). I still look, though.
the channel survival russia has a smaller current production tracked helper he uses all the time.
Getting a BCS and building the rear axel for the tracks is as close as I can think of.
She is beautiful, you have to give her a name. Ursula 😍
Stunning beautiful scenery too. 👍🏴
respect for the cap and jacket ;-)
That little beast just looks... fun!
It is! More like a toy than a workhorse.

Hi! Love to hear from you. I have family in Main, some of them are Lobster fishermen. /Richard

Thank you for your video. It provides me with a lot of knowledge and admiration for your work.
It also makes me think that the real ecology is not (e.g.) having brand-new electric cars (that needed a countless quantity of energy to be built using also countless energy to 'process' the old ones).
A more efficient ecology is to reuse (and keep operational) all the already produced goods and machinery because buying spare parts is always more ecological that buying new devices.
Cool toys for big boys.
It shows, that you can´t survive in a cold country without fossil fuels.That is a fact.Keep doing what you´re doing-luv the vids.
Thanks! You could but it would be kinda sad. /Richard

With those sort of temperature I would not get out of bed I complain when it gets down below 20degrees Celsius here in oz
Thank you great video was great to see your machine working in the snow!
Can you add add a belt drive starter/generator to the engine? That would help in tight spot. A drawbar and box on the back would make it complete!👍
In normal temperatures it starts first or second. So it is better to just not start it in-20 ;) / Richard
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the machine, or your ability to be out in that weather with nothing covering your face or hands.
Да ещё и в резиновых сапогах..
