- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- This is the first part of a series where I am working on my 1952 Model R Diesel. In this part, I disconnect everything from the Pony motor so I can remove it from the main case. I then tear it down to reveal the source of the rear main seal leak.

Thanks
What a GREAT video dude!! Straight to the guts and perfect amount of talking
Thank you very much!
I have model R myself. Magneto stopped working years ago, never chased the problem down. Pull started it with a 4010 every couple years just to keep it running. I am interested in know more about the magneto system was it complicated? Hard to time?
Your video gives me inspiration to get running properly.
The magneto is pretty simple actually. Yes very easy to time if you look at my video (part 7 I think?) where I reassembled it you will see how to do it. The john deere A and others used the same one actually so parts are pretty easy to come by if you want to do it yourself. Or there are guys that will rebuild for you.
@@fixer2uthank you I’ll check that out. Currently rebuilding an injector pump for my JD 4020 but the model R is next on the list. Easier to sell if there running, thank you
@@_yeager no problem!
Any chance you may have the specs or drawing for the crankshaft? I contacted the company you sent yours to and they requested a drawing for specs…….I’m rebuilding the pony on my Model R as well….
Keep up the great work with your videos!
I actually do not..... If you call H&J machining. He may have the info you need.

Great timing we have a 52 R diesel that needs pony motor work. It ran when parked in the barn several years ago now we want to get it running so we can sell it. thanks for your video looking forward to the rest.
Thank you and good luck with yours!
I had a 720D and a 730D years ago, the 720 was a pony motor start, the 730 was electric start. I had issues with the flywheel coming loose from the crank shaft, and a flyweight coming off the governor of the 720. That could have been from poor prior maintenance. I think I would add an oil pressure gage to the pony motor, and possibly a bypass oil filter. You will have to determine if there is a port for this. If I remember correctly, both main bearings bolt indirectly to the case, make sure they are not mounted offset to each other. I have dealt with pumps that were .030 out this way with similar results. My pony motor was the V4, its weakness seemed to be the Wico magneto. I used 2 Harley 6v coils to keep it reliable. Have fun
Interesting idea with the filter and gauge. Thank you!
Just found this channel and Subscribed. I've never had the pleasure of working on a pony engine,but always found them fascinating.
Thanks for subscribing! I have not either, so this will be a real learning experience for me!
Do you have any ideas where you can find a Fuel sediment bowl for the R\80\820\830 Tractors? I have a 1957 820 and the sediment bowl exploded on me a couple months ago. I've contacted several antique dealers and no luck. Bought one with an IH cross-reference, but the glass is too thick to fit the housing. Ended up making a steel bowl last week, as I want to use the tractor and the pulls are getting close. It seems to be working but I would just like to keep it original if I could. Thanks
I just did a google search and came up with this on ebay. Looks about right to me.

I was going to suggest Yesterdays Tractor, but the link looks good
Thanks for uploading this, I just pulled my pony engine last weekend because of the same issue.
How bad is yours in comparison?
@@fixer2u it is as bad, im sure.
I only got as far as flywheel removal, so i dont know if the crank has been turned before.
Same issue, lots of crank up and down movement and oil leaking badly.
@@coreyorchel Ugh... Fun Fun! Well hopefully we can help each other out on this one!
@@fixer2u i will let you know what i find also. They're fixable, just how much money you want to throw at it.
@@coreyorchel haha yeah no joke!
Very cool. Look forward to the next episode.
Thank you! Me too Lol
Fixer2u Do you have a email please I could contact you on? Currently stripping the pony motor on my 1952

When removing the pony engine there is a lifting lug hole in the top of the motor that allows you to lift it with a screw in eye and picks it up perfectly level. Hope this helps someone watching this video.
Where is this lifting lug exactly?
@@fixer2u It's in the center of the pony motor. Just have to screw and eye into the threaded hole. I'm in the middle of painting mine right now if you shoot me an email I can send ya a picture.
@@jeremyfowler7505 OK cool, what is your e-mail?
