That's awesome cuz you can use the tractors PTO to turn a generator to charge some batteries in a grid down situation to keep the lights on maybe run a radio
yup Stephen, it starts and runs pretty good. oil was cheap and easy... turn a key and go... sadly people today want push a button and go... kinda lazy... but you pay for that at the pump.
Yeah I've never heard of anyone complain about the quality/power etc behind it. They are pretty stoked that wood now powers the vehicle in question. Shame tho, 5 extra minutes of time to do something you wouldn't normally do could and would change the world if everyone did it to.
Someone already said it... it's the coolest tractor I've ever seen... One question: the wood you put in the gasifier, are they chips?... or pellets. Thanks for the video.
I love this post, thanks for it. I started building my woodgas project and even posted a few videos but health put it on back burner for a bit. About to start on it again and will post updates. I am trying to make mine portable and compact but still big enough to run the old truck. Biggest problem I have faced is building it in a way to run many things off of it. Old Chevy truck, Ford truck, tractor, generator, trencher, etc... Again, thanks. Every little bit I find, helps me on my project.
onewyatt1 Thank you. I'm at the point with gasifiers where there isn't anything I'd change in the reactor it's self. I've been fine tuning the cooler and filter systems and think I'm on the money with them now. Our most current system is the unit I just shipped to Yellowknife NWT. in testing it was up to heat and making good gas in 5 minutes, hand pulled a genset to start it on wood gas... started on the 4th pull... just like it should :)
International Supply I have left my design easy to modify figured I would have to do a good bit of fine tuning. Hoping to be able to change out throat in bottom of reactor depending on what size motor I want to run off of it at the time. My cooling system will be the hardest thing to build. I wanted to keep it easy to clean and draining in one direction. I am hoping I can move it between equipment. It will have a limited fuel capacity but it will only take up a 2ft by 4ft space and stand about 4ft tall, cooling coil and all. I am just hoping the thing makes gas when I'm finished.
lol... making gas is easy... making engine grade gas tends to be a little more tricky. I know with the system that is on this tractor with some simple changes it can run an engine as small as 5 hp to as large as 25 hp
International Supply Yep, making gas is easy. I have a Kelly Kettle for camping and tried heating beans on top of it, they tasted like creosote. I plan to use mine for 5hp to maybe the V8 in the old Chevy. I am not sure how my changeable parts idea will work out yet. Its the heat problem that I am trying to work around. thinking the changeable parts need to be stainless or home made ceramic from clay I have around here. My fuel hopper will be a little small for truck use but I'm not far from town. Anyway, thanks for your input, I need the motivation it gives me.
Running on wood gas is not as effective as gas and sometimes if your filter is not good you have to clean the ash out of your engine which is a big pain
Would this work for m35 deuce1/2 military surplus truck? The engine is considered be multifuel but the diesel is the preferred fuel. It would be an excellent option for an trailer behind the Deuce.

Your grand children will be able to say. Grand dad has the coolest John Deere tractor to be
found, for miles around. And I agree. The Coolest.
many small tractors use ballast in the front to keep the wheels down, so gasifier in the front actually might make handling better.

@@n2kmasteroriginal wood gas isint wery wiable in western europe because it takes 40kg of wood to ride 100km.
when you're used to getting a lot more water vapour and smoke out of your system. just having a haze of woodgas is really different.

I use nothing but mild carbon steel in my builds... just sayin
Good job
so cool

How do you describe the MPG? Like pounds per mile? Or miles per pound?
That's a smooth start up! Why did we go back to gasoline after the war???
Running on wood gas is not as effective as gas and sometimes if your filter is not good you have to clean the ash out of your engine which is a big pain
ive never had a filtering problem since i switched to my current filter system
This takes 4 minutes. Turning the key takes 20seconds+ it takes 40kg of wood to ride 100km.

does it have spark plugs?

do you ever have a problem with overheating?
Over heating where?

Your engine might overheat it can't get any air
Oh sorry I didn't see that the condenser was there
Good job
