not many parts involved, diesel, no ignition, just needs a fuel supply of some sort , some oil and grease, blank shot ty shell, water to leak out the head(and cool it) and of course someone who knows how to use it
MrNerviodelvolcan It does look like the one track there is missing a link on it, however, interesting information there on how he starts up this machine and drives it around.
You are absolutely right. These machines were a replacement for work horses and considered advanced for their time. People considered themselves lucky to have one.
To start the Marshall a smouldering piece of special paper, containing saltpeter, is inserted into the cylinder head by means of the special screw-in holder in the cylinder head. The engine is then turned over with a starting handle placed in the starting dog on the flywheel. This is aided by the decompression valve, which decompresses the engine for anything up to 6 revolutions (generally 3 revolutions is sufficient - a spiral groove on the perimeter of the flywheel is used to determine the number of revolutions and position before top dead center where the decompressor mechanism disengages and permits compression) to allow the flywheel to gain speed and inertia to turn the engine through compression, and get the engine to fire. Depending on the condition and mood of individual tractors, it is possible to get a thorough workout starting the Marshall. A cartridge starting system is also fitted to the tractor. A shot-gun type cartridge is loaded into a breech on the engine's intake system. The smouldering paper is placed in the cylinder head, and the cartridge is fired by tapping the protrusion pin with a hammer. This puts a charge into the bore, sending the piston through its stroke, bursting into life. This method, however, deposits carbon which often causes jamming of the decompression valve if cartridges are regularly used. It also puts significantly more strain on the engine. Later versions of the Field-Marshall had more sophisticated starting systems available - electric starters were optional on the Series 3As.
One of the first tractors to ever be fitted with an engine working purely and reliably on the Diesel principle. The burning paper the man threads into the engine before startup is simply an early ancestor to the modern glow plug, and the gun powder makes the engine crank itself without a starter. Pure enginouity before electricity became a necessity. Is it safer? Maybe not. But it sure is so much more satisfying to watch start up than a modern diesel.
What a great way to start an engine. Sometimes going back in time like that is a nice diversion from all the latest and greatest technology. Keep it simple and enjoy.
Now days, when everything is digital and in the cloud, can't smell, touch or feel, nice to see an old clunker, noisy, smelly hunk of steel of tracktor moving around. Reminds me of the movie Logan's run, an old man appears at the end of the movie, young people never seen one before, 'cause they had to die at 33. Here the tracktor is the old man.
That expansion chamber is nothing like the one on the model I knew on the farm. It has TWO cones, and worked like a charm. That one looks as though it has been shortened. Also, you showed a shot shell holding steel shot. Only a fool would try to start a diesel engine using a loaded cartridge.
Oh wow it must be 45 years since I`ve seen one of these run My Grandad had one he owned an Oliver Dealership back in the early -40s -right up to late 60s his was used to run a saw mill .
Yep, you are right. My dad farmed for 30 years with a tractor made in 1948. There was no fancy air conditioned cab or stereo, but it was so simple it could be fixed by the average farmer.
That is awesome..i love old tractors and in my opinion they are worth a hell of a lot more than new ones..i mean think about it..all the news ones beak down, blow engines..but look at that one..still running strong..no electronics or any of that crap..that old rusty tractor..id pay more for it than I would a new one..i love those
I can just imagine how wonderful this machine was to workers when it first was new. Think of all the extra work you could get done with it! This is the first wick style machine I've seen started. It was really nice. Were the governors always as sensitive as this one? Bars stop leak in the radiator. That fixed a Cat 30 leak I had. Show someone young how to run this machine and will it to him.
Amazing start up process and that guy knew just what to do for it. I couldn't tell if he was starting a steam, gas, or diesel lol. Might have to watch it twice
Always a good idea to be near the decompressor cable after starting so that you can catch the revs if the governor is hung up from sitting or if it's simply knackered like this one. Lovely shock absorber engineering on the operator's seat, must be a joy in the rough!
I'm no field marshal expert, but what I believe happens is the flame provides a hot spot for ignition. Once the engine is running residual heat plus compression keeps things going, but it needs that flame to start. The shotgun shell then acts as a means to turn the engine over, by flooding it with gas much the same way it actually firing would. It's typically used for tractors that don't want to start with the crank, but in some cases the shotshell start is useful when crank access is limited.
If you don't get this starting sequence exact the alarm goes off and on board computer controlled security informs local police that it is being stolen and sends them GPS coordinates, then, it shuts down all essential systems until the secret password is entered to reset the system. These tractors were ahead of their time.
No mate that is NOT a 'shotgun shel!! ,its a 12 gauge CARTRIDGE packed with a measured charge to turn the flywheel! no wads, shot etc, put one in there & REAL trouble some fools have done it! Note he put in a "starter paper" to give a hot spot , like a glow plug.. ..Actually many things start by cartridge , helicopters, many jet aircraft, US A vought corsair too I believe , I think the marshal system was rare for agricultural tractors ,, note the runaway tendency!
I really appreciate people keeping old machinery running and in operating condition.
not many parts involved, diesel, no ignition, just needs a fuel supply of some sort , some oil and grease, blank shot ty shell, water to leak out the head(and cool it) and of course someone who knows how to use it
awesome how this guy have kept this beautiful piece of equipment alive after all those years

poor old girl ,needs some plates and grousers for Christmas. Wide tracc version too. Very good to see ,thank you for the video
I love to see old technology like this kept alive. Good video.

Ppll kommt ttt
Это не первый виденный мной трактор, что заводится с патрона. Шикарная машина. Сколько лет прошло с того, как её выпустили, а она всё ещё на ходу.
80+ years and still going hard that's amazing
You got to be kidding me! That's how that old crawler starts? Fine piece of old school machinery.
Love seeing the old iron still running, that engine sounded great !.
lĺppp
mi piace moltissimo è un pezzo storico ,eccezionale vederlo ancora in funzione ,,invidio il suo padrone e conduttore ,,,,,,

Thanks for the information, I was wondering what he was doing. It looked like some kind of voodoo ritual. Hahah
Modern smokeless starting charges would probably not have that problem.
my opa had one of these on the farm he grew up on so cool seeing one run after hearing about it thanks guys.
Fantastic bit of machinery was great to see it start up and drive around , thanks enjoyed it a lot !
What a beast. No wonder old timers were always missing fingers and stuff years ago.
+Konstantinopoljski AND! .. it will ever start same way - after an EMP/Atom-Bomb will fallen ;o)
bandsaw strikes again - people just wood do it.

I love old stuff like this
No electronic, no gadget, no plastic... Real tought machine.
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice crawler. Love old machines
What a labor intensive starting process, but it does seem to run good and it actually moves. Very cool.
pretty awesome, seems the older stuff is made soo much better.
I here you knocking but you can't come in. Fascinating amount of fiddling to get everything up and running.
I'm sure all engine looks like new inside ... 100 years old or more.
I love this!
Я такого чуда техники никогда не видел!!! Супер!!!
Technology takes thought not faith.
gotta love anything that starts using a hammer!!!
geonerd1000 don't forget about the shot shell.
geonerd1000 5
Like the way the operator flicks the decompression lever to eject the old cartridge. Cool!
Great to see a rare vehicle running. Good to see also a good example with the ear protection.
What a great way to start an engine. Sometimes going back in time like that is a nice diversion from all the latest and greatest technology. Keep it simple and enjoy.
I love seeing old stuff like this still running
Beautiful sound of the engine. Love it!
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم آمين آمين آمين
That Ol sound better than modern music =)
Hell yes
Этому тракторишке лет 150 не меньше, супер...
В два раза меньше.

Es algo fabuloso q personas se dediqn a cuidar estos aparatos q son parte de la historia en la agricultura
Excellent demonstration of the handling that tractors required in the years before mechanical governors became standard equipment.
Фантастический пепелац! :о)
It sure makes you appreciate the development of modern engines!
Молодец Дедок!!!Реанимировал трактор времён Царя Гороха....

Old is gold.Thanks.
Cartridge start! Awesome! Beautiful machine!
Muy muy bueno espectacular hermoso sonido.....
thats awsome. i love how some of the old designs were back then!!
This is how engines should start! No fussing about with pull cords and kick starts, just bump the primer and away ya go!
god im glad i was born in the electric start and powershift era..Watching these old machines is great driving one would have been tough
Many thanks for the reply and the explanation. Very much appreciated.

Да вот это аппарат , супер , очень старая техника ,а ещё заводится , и на ходу 👍👍👍
Супер! К своему стыду первый раз видел пороховой запуск!
Functional art, lovely piece of work.
Amazing start up process and that guy knew just what to do for it. I couldn't tell if he was starting a steam, gas, or diesel lol. Might have to watch it twice
Single cylinder, 6 litre, 2-stroke diesel. See also Field Marshall tractor.
A motor like this can run on anything that burns and in liquid form. Like diesel, petrol, oil, olive oil, butter, greese etc. :-)
andjack who says it needs to be liquid? I am sure that very fine hich quality coal dust will do the job, too!
switch55 As it said. It is diesel. The thing that is light up and inserted into the engine is something like a glowplug.
One of the best machines ihave ever seen!
Han er GO man!
Sverige velde bra!
Worth the 8 minutes of my life.
So men really DID ride dinosaurs! This man really knows how to massage these antiques. Nice work.
I love when diesel engines liked this is turning on slow rotation and then accelerates quickly. Its so amazing...
thats a amazing piece of machinery you got there! i hope you are verry proud to have it, shes a buety!!

Bellissimo video 🙋♂️ 😊 💚 🌈 👍👏👏👏
эти изобретения очень сложны и в то же время были те, что ознаменовали всю эрудиционную эру, очень хорошие машины прошлого.
Целое искусство!
THATS A BEAST, THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THEY USED TO!
Fantastic bit of old machinery.
Hej!
Tack för en fin visning av start av din maskin! :)
Älskar Tändkuleljud!
Thats crazy. Still easier to start than my leaf blower.
I am not sure about that
Now you see why those old farmers had to get up so early in the morning.
Put a little fuel directly into the carburetor and should make it a lot easier
I hope its not a diesel leaf blower.
E Cannon or a Poulen chainsaw
I love the fact that I had no idea what they were doing to get this thing started or what any of the parts were that they were fiddling with.
Shot shell starting, thats very cool!
musisz
This starting system was also used on some early radial engines for startup.
ramairgto72
There is, of course, no shot in the cartridge, only powder. It's a blank.
All it needs is that one track piece and its golden
Do all that when its 30 below out. Still very cool
Old time tough. Both of them
I need one of these. I live in suburbia, it would drive the neighbours insane.
the wife shouts darling are you coming home and the husband is like yes I am full speed i wil be there in 2 to 3 hours ahhahah
what a gorgeous old machine this is
No electronics and still runs like a champ. It's a shame that they don't make stuff like this anymore. Great video and unique old crawler
simple: you are the big boss...... tank for the old machin, my passion...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic that's real men fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C était le bon vieux temps des poum poum esquinteur de cardans
Lol wtf that's sweet how he started this baby up
It beat a hand crank, and direct start diesels were just becoming popular at the time of manufacture.
wow! very nice!!
thank you for the video.
Damn that seat looks comfortable!!!!
Great tractor! It may need a tiny bit of wrenching, but the rest will buff-out.
I couldn't help but laugh with him using a hammer to start the tractor, That's brilliant.
If you don't get this starting sequence exact the alarm goes off and on board computer controlled security informs local police that it is being stolen and sends them GPS coordinates, then, it shuts down all essential systems until the secret password is entered to reset the system. These tractors were ahead of their time.
That's one Incredible piece of Machinery....Like a Tank.
wow, first time seen starting something with hammer, good video.
First time I've seen one of these. Great video. Thanks
Incredible: Shotgun shell fired engine !!!!
No mate that is NOT a 'shotgun shel!! ,its a 12 gauge CARTRIDGE packed with a measured charge to turn the flywheel! no wads, shot etc, put one in there & REAL trouble some fools have done it! Note he put in a "starter paper" to give a hot spot , like a glow plug.. ..Actually many things start by cartridge , helicopters, many jet aircraft, US A vought corsair too I believe , I think the marshal system was rare for agricultural tractors ,, note the runaway tendency!
i like it ...good job
Это супер машина я токого запуска еще не видил.
love it,,i worked for a farmer that had one as a kid in the UK,, we started it once a day to run a feed mill and left it running at lunch,,,ha ha
Não tem como não dar um like!!!!!
She's a beauty! (almost 3 million views lol)
Ive heard the term "SHOTGUN" start But this is awsome ! Those were the days !
