    Oh the memories! Pulling a 3-16 Deere plow with Dad's D2 back in the 1950's starting at about 8 years of age. The sun was hot and the days were long. We slipped on steering handle extensions of 1/2" pipe so the operator could stand while operating to avoid the wind blown dirt that the tracks brought up the backside. The rocking fore and aft of the short tracks would sometimes cause loss of operator balance so had to hang on to the extensions which was not a good thing in and of itself.
    I vividly remember holding back on the throttle lever past the last notch so as to gain a tiny fraction of additional speed. Would wear goggles to keep the dirt out of eyes. Would let the RD6 and D2 engines idle over the noon hour. The D2's right track would slip off the idler occasionally and would do reversing and steering maneuvers to get it back on. Running the track in the furrow wore the rails unevenly. Could go on and on here.

    The closer I got to finishing an engine rebuild the anticipation faction kicks in. Then the "What if's" grow and grow. That's when I would go through all thorough my check list and proceed. As diligent and thorough as you are I'm confident that the problems will be few. One of my beliefs is the 6 "P's" Prior Planning Prevents Post Problem Panics. I'm looking for your next video. WOW! You do such great work.

    Magnificent craftsmanship was employed in this very fundamental but effective vintage equipment, including the magneto, fuel delivery, controls and everything else. Rudimentary by today's standards, but which allowed a functioning machine to rise out of raw materials with very basic engineering. Hence, the elegance, the art, and the elemental nature of the machine. Magnificent craftsmanship also describes your technique, stewardship, and care for resurrecting this proud example of American ingenuity. I admire you for that. You're an artist yourself for your efforts.

    Squatch, you said that you had never hit a home run yet on a complete power system rebuild, that there was always something you had to go back in and fix. I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see a list of the things you had to go back and fix with the various units. It would be a wonderful mental checklist tool that we could use to perhaps ensure we did it right the first time, if possible. Thanks again for sharing all your wonderful knowledge. You are a true Master

    Awesome video the fuel filter work around looks really nice. The pony motor in full dress is a real compact package. It's always a pins and needles moments when you are starting a rebuilt engine for the first time especially when you have never heard either engine run before and in this case you have lots of parts from several other machines and lots of new parts all combined into one package. Keep up the great videos Toby. It's going to be nice to see it running and blowing smoke.

  • @avnsteve1
    @avnsteve1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Initially, I was less than thrilled with your decision and reasoning behind not re-painting & aesthetically restoring this particular build. Seeing it all coming together and recognizing obvious use and age etc, I've come around to your way of thinking. I appreciate the entire patina of your build! Fresh paint would have masked so much detail like materials used, method of manufacture, nature of wear patterns! I could go on but I'm sure you already get it, good call!

    I worked for Ford as a technician many years ago and my specialty was carburetors, fuel injection and ignition systems. One day I was talking to the shop manager who also did the same specialties as myself and he told me that back in the late 60's early 70's, Ford had a problem with vehicles quitting or a no start after running for a long period of time. He would pull the distributor cap off and inspect it and reinstall it and the vehicle would start right up and run. What Ford found out was the constant sparking created a gas that eventually choked the spark form the points causing it to quit. The solution was the vented distributor cap. That is why the magnetos and distributors are now vented. Just an FYI.

    Your work around for the sediment bowl was great!!
    I can feel your nervousness about the first time starting a new engine!!
    Everytime I start a locomotive after heavy mechanical or electrical repairs I always feel those same butterflys.
    The second guessing in the brain is deafening.
    Push on with the confidence in the job you've done and be reassured by your ability to repair any issues that arise.

    Both started on the 1st turn of the key.

    Back in the 70s and 80s, yeah I'm old, Rochester carburators used a fuel filter at their fuel inlet that looked identical to the element you removed from that universal inline unit. I believe it was used primarily in their two barrel units. They also had a sintered bronze option.

    • @tomarmstrong4156
      @tomarmstrong4156 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is what I thought too. That element is like the GM fuel inlet filters. My concern is if it will flow adequately with the low head pressure. I have always avoided using inline filters on gravity systems. I have moved on to the in tank combination standpipe filter screen with just a shut off ball valve and no crappy chinese filter bowl.

    At least you won't have James Condon's discovery that the small Honda engine he was trying to start had NO pushrods!! After all, you rebuilt this powertrain from scratch! You just have to figure out where you yourself screwed up.
    I came to consider the lack of pushrods to be a warning from the last guy inside the little Honda engine. It was a huge mess. There had been too many cooks fiddlin' with it and the snow blower it was in! You couldn't tell what parts were ok without looking at and testing everything!
