Thing is I can just hear some people screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET THOSE KIDS OFF THOSE THINGS! THEY'RE DANGEROUS!". Despite the fact that kids of rural farms have been doing this for generations & operating one of these is probably one of the safest pastimes they could be doing. Besides...it's training for BIG BOY (and GIRL) toys. 🚜
I was pretty fortunate great grand dad had me running his cletrax and his 3cylender ford back hoe at 6,granddad had me running his 350 IH utility tractor dad had me running his jeep,and all three farmalls the 12,14,20,and the 30 and his 54JD H, then his industrial 2000ford hoe,and his oliver AG6.
I always love seeing Toby work out the D-2. After watching the entire build from start to finish it seems like the old Gal belongs to all of us. I'm sure many others would agree with me. Thanks for taking all the time it took to make the series for all of us to enjoy watching.
It was refreshing to see youngsters deftly operating equipment possibly older than their great grandparents as they are the ones who carry these traditions on. GREAT video.
Great video Toby! Big thanks to Squatch Sr. For stepping in as camera man. The young kids and going to be great dozer operators in a few years. Thank for taking us along to the show. Cheers
You need a boy like that of your own, Squatch, so that wonderful relationship you have with Senior doesn't die out in your generation. Praying for you.
Fantastic to see the kids taking an interest, I wish I had videos of my self 50 years ago . Thanks for taking to time to record this brings back a lot of memories.
Hey Toby. Thank you for taking myself and my wife along on the tractor show very very interesting I'm very glad to see old machines doing what they were made to do. Thanks Toby. You rock.
Awesome to see the young kids running the old equipment best part for me love the old equipment but them kids have a good time is what’s it’s all about
Neat to see the D2 earning its keep. That single ripper would do well in any California vineyard today. Best to break it in and seat those rings. Love it!
Hey Squatch, I made it into your video! That was me in the white car parked along the road. Just had to stop and watch for a minute. I was so sorry I had to leave but it was great meeting you.
Seeing the drip aka catch pans for the carburetor ,these are the first things to disappear, cause some people are too lazy to install them back. And a engine fire is far from being fun oh heck no. Thanks for Senior for filming this awesome event and preserving this for future generations.
Wish I could have stuck around for Saturday looks like there was even more fun in the dirt work area! That D4 and big tumblebug is so cool! Once again it was great to meet you and Sr.! Nowthen was a great show! I hope to make it there again!
I been read some of the comments on here . Nice to see and hear that pure horse power working. But oneyou know we get older the toys get bigger no longer hand pushed. Love the video thx
Nice to see the youngsters handling the antique equipment. I have a drag my dad put together out of 5 concrete railroad ties. Drag that around sometimes to smooth the ruts out of the lanes at the farm. That puts a pretty good load on the 5U. Good pull for the IHC 650 as well in second gear. I have a W4 that I bought a few years ago. Have not had much time to work on it. Engine seized, apparently they put new sleeves and pistons in to make it a Super W4, but didn't run it much, and then it sat for a long time. The guy I bought it from took the head off and was trying to get in loosened up, until he was no longer able to work on it. Have tried a number of different things to get it unseized. Number of different rust formulas, diesel fuel, ATF. Going to try ATF mixed with Acetone. Andrew Hanna says that works good. Have a big pipe wrench on the crank with a heavy weight on it all the time, that has worked before on other tractors that are seized for same reason. Just fill the cylinders with what ever, and let it sit. Usually come back and the weight is on the ground. This one may have other problems though under front cover, starter or in the bell housing. Have not got into those, an not sure when it last ran, and why it was let sit for so long.
You need at least a 5 bottom plow behind your D2 to get it up to heat and keep it there for a few hours to get it broke in my dad pulled 6 / 14 plow all the time with his D2
Great camera an commentary by Senior thank you 👍 these old Cats are just torque monsters 💪💪 over here 🏴 the likes of the TD6 were more common than Cats an also strangely the W4 an W6 seemed more popular than the H s an the M s great video 👍
plow time in the fall should do it, pulling a triple 14 " or 16 should work it hard enough and the field is long enough to build some heat in it to seat the rings I'll be looking forward to seeing that
I didn't see any Farmall number tractors. I spent my childhood on a 200 pulling a side discharge hay rake. Would love to find one and restore it. They were only made a few years unfortunately.
Cool collection of working toys at that show! Trying to find enough work to load it down for a long period is a good problem to have, but I can see that sort of load match may not be easy to find.
Nice that a number of the machines got a good polish playing in the dirt , then got put indoors till the next event . That’s very good to insure they are protected. Just add some anti -rodent materials to keep would be nesters away
You need a heavy draft implement to give it some work, a heavy cultivator or a 5 bottom plough working at least for 12 hours 50 would be better.(Plow on your side of the pond) Discs wont really cut it. (Forgive the pun)
Vilka lätta sandjordar ni har i området. I Sverige i mitt område Uppsala är detta en omöjlighet. Vi har inga bandtraktorer i bruk mej veterligt. Möjligen någon veteran som visas. Kul inslag du visat.
@@paulmanson253 Mest styva lerjordar. En MF 175 som min far ägde hade jobbigt m 3x 13 Kvernelands plog som var erkända vara lättdrivna Den gick lättare än Svenska Överumsplogen på 2x12.
Was good to see you and catch up. Got to watch some of the action "in the pit ". Those old Cats sure make a nice bark! See you at the next one. Le Sueur?
The Cockshutt model 40 tractor that had the in-line six cylinder. Was the Alilis Chalmers D 19 engine the same with a Cox shirt model 50 in-line six cylinder
Did Cockshutt market tractors through Gambles with Gambles marking? Larson Tractor museum on the East Campus Tractor Testing lab here in Lincoln Ne. has a Gamble that looks just like that Cockshutt.
Good video and very encouraging to see the youngsters interested and working the equipment. I noticed the military painted dozer had a wet exhaust too. I am wondering if it is modern fuel and older diesels with less compression. I used to show a Lister 3Hp CS diesel here in the UK CS was Cold Start and it had a valve device in the head that gave higher compression to start it. It started and ran fine but if I switched back to the lower compression the engine would smoke more and smell like it was burning paraffin/kerosine. On high compression it ran much better and no smell. Is it possible with the D2 to make a higher compression engine by milling heads or something? Perhaps you could get another head to experiment.
Interesting about the hard bores. This Lister CS diesel had a hard chrome finished bore. I will have to look back over your videos when you built the engine and heads. I started watching when you were fitting the head. I presume that the combustion chambers are cast into the head sort of around where the injector fits in the head. @@squatch253
Nice job of putting a polish on the subsoiler. You rebuilt it too well your gonna need more room the get the 5J hot enough. Maybe on your plow day like you said.
Here a better idea use a plow that be like a three bottom or bigger cause it needs more to pull not sure you can find a trip bottom that big more than 3. And set it deep you may get it hot enough and long enough to set your rings. I don't think there anything wrong. just cat has a hard time seating rings sometime and that not just in older engines
The young man at 18:00 looks like he was operating a dozer or the blade maybe, similar to the one in a walk around. Sorry to hear that you could not get it to burn off, clean out and seal up. Is the PTO fully functional on it? You may need to get with a dynamometer operator and use that to get a good solid consistent load on it for several hours. Even a portable generator that is driven by a pto would help.
To my understanding it is just Super M-TA with a diesel and not Super MD-TA when it comes to the decals. At least that seems to be the side that wins whenever the argument comes up.
What make/model is the narrow gauge crawler pulling the sub-spoiler at the 20:30 minute mark? My eye is not sufficiently trained to discern the defining characteristics. The radiator looks too “square” to be a D-2, it does not look like a D-3400 engine in there, and I can’t read the lettering on the top of the radiator. Great video. Love Senior’s narration. Is the cable blade 3-cylinder Caterpillar that they parked in the garage on Sunday morning at the 22:30 minute mark a D-6?
If you want to give it a good load connect it to a water pump. This 4 u had 20 hours after complete engine rebuild, and was also slobering out of the exhaust. After letting it use a complete tank of diesel it stoped and we have no problems with it any more. This year we used it for a Murray scraper and it did it really great! th-cam.com/video/JQooaaR8O-s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-FEmLIAcjGMzYxtC
@@squatch253 I learned the importance of this many years ago when as a student in earthmoving college I was told to go and get practice & left unsupervised so I thought it would be good idea to sink a surface dam in a large vacant paddock. I came very close to pulling the D8 rippers through one of the pipelines supplying Australia's capital city with water.
Worked with a guy on a 320 ac field. He had a D7 with an 8 bottom subsoiler. He had been out for 4 hours when the phone company showed up to look for damage on the main fiber optic line between Kansas City and Des Moines 😂
I know this might be silly question but… can you break-in the d2 on a PTO dyno? I have had mine on one a few times and that really pulled the fire out of mine.
For the load thing: just line up enough stuff behind it (few RD6...) and drag them big rounds. Don´t You have enough stuff to drag around? Get some friends, line up Your stuff and be done with it. Can´t be too hard to load up a D2- or can it?
I know nothing about tractors but to heat up 5J couldn't you just chain it to a big tree, put it in gear and let it pull in place for a few hours? I think I'm probably heading for a dumbest comment award here.
I envy those kids. At that age the only tractors I knew how to drive were made by Tonka. 😀
