You got MIKE to fill you in. Mike is a FINE one! GREAT mechanic on gensets.
Mike Power and Light, Inc. increasing capacity for your consumer needs!
I think he has the County covered, he's working on the rest of the State now!!☺
That’s one hell of a generator 💪 It will be cool to see that up and rolling!
Yeah Buddy!! Mike will have that thing running like a fine Swiss Watch!!☺
Small engine mechanic does it again with a massive engine, good morning fellas please show us how they were making the bangs(exhaust through the ground)looks a hoot lol :o)
Sorry Mate!! Didn't get any video of that!! It was deafening and I didn't have any hearing protection to get any closer!!☺
Can't wait to see Mike work on this one on his channel!
Very nice engine - I always enjoy learning something new from "The Professor"!
If I could retain a tenth of what he says I'd be a genius!!☺
Mike’s cat House Love it 🥰
Love the concussion that motor puts off when it hits! Haven't been to Cool Springs in 4 years, need to get back!
Yeah Coolspring is the best place to go if your looking to buy or sell!! We hate the 300 mile trip but it definitely worth it!!☺
What a piece of kit, loved the way it slid over too👍
This is America, no "kit" allowed. :)
@@MrThisIsMeToo haha you've lost me, if that's an in joke, that is a figure of speech here in England (and I assume there?) with any set of equipment you would use to complete a specialised task is of good/ fascinating/ enviable quality etc😄
@@SollersScrappingandDiving Just a joke with the fellows across the pond.
That exhaust firing in the background sounds awesome. Like a battle or something.
That noise was deafening!! That exhaust was run outta a building underground to a 5x5 hole that was 20 ft away!! Thankfully they only run that thing for 15 min. every few hours!!☺
Cool find! I have a D4 Im working on that Im slowly getting fixed up. It has the same Two cylinder starting engine as that Gen-set, but it had the ring gear on the diesel broke so it couldn’t be started with the pup engine. I just got the flywheel back today from the Machine shop to get it fitted with a new ring gear. Looking forward to getting the old girl back together and making Smoke once more!
Cheers from Alberta Canada!!
I see you got the exciter with this generator. 👍😊 A lot easier than adapting a static drive.
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
That is Great! Anything with a pony motor is awesome!!!
Yeah Buddy!! It's fun to see that operation in action!!☺
Generator Built like a Tank👍
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Can’t wait for that startup video! 👍🏻
It'll be a while Jake!! It's on the bottom of a long list, he just couldn't pass up the deal!!☺
@@805ROADKING hey as long as she’s on the list!
Great find! I have a d2 and d4 that I hope to get running someday
Talk to Squatch253, he's got tons of D-2 parts.
That is awesome! :) I wish I could find an old CAT diesel generator laying around in my area! I would especially love one with a pony motor, because those are just cool ;)
Yeah Buddy!! They're definitely cool!!☺
Glad to see Mike again!
Yeah Buddy!! I wish we could spend more time together!!☺
Talk to fellow youtuber Squatch253 about anything Cat.
I was just going to suggest that myself.
Yes squatch can find anything for a cat
He might have some laying around
Sweet, nice find, that winch sure made it easy
Yeah Buddy!! Everything he owns weighs at least a ton!!☺
Nice generator
Alright, great find.Thanks for the look.
Thanks for checking it out Bud!!☺
Another Genset for mikes museum collection.
Yeah Buddy!! He's building a Pad and Enclosure right now for another monster engine next to his garage!! Thankfully he has a good piece of land!!☺
Try ask Sqatch253 about D2 things, he really knows the D2 and maybe has the parts You need.
Mike really likes old generator sets
Yeah Buddy!! Old and BIG!!☺
also mike is becoming a crazy cat man
Nice Engine
So in the event of a repeat of the major texas winter power outage, just call mike... :P
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
"On the next episode of Mike's Cat House...."
Looks like a nice one King ! ENJOYED..
In NZ a "Pony Motor" is known as a "Donkey Motor."
Anthony
Enjoyed
Good times Bud!!☺
Squatch253 now he is a cool cat
...good one. keep safe and have a great weekend...
Thanks Bob!! Have a great weekend Bud!!☺
so neat...
I'm betting an old boy at a muffler shop could make up that missing air cleaner tube. Looks like you guys were at a great show! Cat house LOL!
Yeah that's a great show if your looking to buy or sell, there are thousands of engines and parts there!! We travel 300 miles to get there, we've met guys from all over the country there including Canada!!☺
@@805ROADKING Awesome!
Nice unit :) The Pony engine is quite interesting too, as it is a boxer style engine :) CAT made the pony engine themselves?
Yeah Buddy!! Cat makes the Pony also!!☺
I wanna see this run and generate!
He'll get it going but right now it's way down on the list!!☺
Try getting parts for a pony engine from your friendly local CAT dealer.
Good luck.
They'll try to sell you a conversion-to-electric start kit, at CAT dollars.
How do I know?
I worked in parts at the local CAT dealer.
Those Pony Engines sure look like tough little engines ..I would sure make it fit on a small tractor
He needs a float bowl for the carb on the Pony!! Some guy wanted to sell him a carb for it for $900!!☺
I have been working on one of my John deeres
I'm surprised it doesn't have a battery start!
I guess the big engine in the shed exhausts through a gravel pit?
How can you wire that 3-phase into a house current panelboard is that possible when 3-phase to house Troy
Always be sure to run the pony motor out of gas in the carburetor (by shutting the gas off and letting it run until it dies) those have a bad problem with the float leaking between uses and gas getting in the oil then the next time it’s used you will have to change the oil or destroy the engine
Thanks for the advice Boger!! We'll pass it on to him!!☺
Approx mike what will this set cost to buy as it is ? Thanks
Check with Salvage Workshop, he’s been working on an Cat 955 Traxcavator. Not sure if any spare parts he has will work for ya, but it’s a shot. He may also know a place to get one.
Thanks Bird Dog!! We'll pass the info onto Mike!!☺
i always wanted to restore a cat dozer D6 or 8
It's never too late Bud!!☺
Yep, Mike has a Cat House!
When the Cat's out of the bag, it heads to Mike's!
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
love that got tube engine it's so cool, also what show are you at?
Hope you get the Cat purring soon.
Don't know how soon D!! That's on the bottom of a long list, he just couldn't pass up the deal!!☺
Is this engine running?
Nuffa This !
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
awesome!
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Did he buy the engine at Coolsprings? I want to go to their show next year once I retire. See you guys in a couple of weeks at Jacktown.
He's good friends with the Dude that sold it to him, he's from Illinois and brought it to Coolspring for him!!☺
Drain the engine block if it does not have coolant in it.. drain the coolant out of the pony motor too.. change the oil in the pony motor. spray some outboard fogging oil spray in thru the spark plugs .. be sure that when you start the main.. that you shut the fuel off to the pony carb and let it run out of gas .. do the fuel bowl does not overflow and dilute the oil in the pony.. its SPLASH lube .. diluted oil will cost you THOUSANDS to get the pony motor repaired. pony motors are easily frozen and the water jackets and heads crack.. as do the main engines .. radiator tubes and radiator tanks
Thanks for the info!! If you're into Cat's you can check out Mike's channel here: th-cam.com/users/SmallEngineMechanicvideos
I'd talk to Squatch253. If he doesn't have that tube, I'd bet he knows where to get one.
Yeah Buddy!! That's a tight community, once word gets out something will always turn up!!☺
D311 easy to adjust title.
Good catch Buddy!! WTF was I thinking!! We were looking for you Sat morning to say goodbye but we couldn't find you!! Good times Bud, We'll see ya next year!!☺
should talk to Squatch253 he is all about cats
Score.
Yeah Buddy!! He's tickled silly with it!!☺
Wow super Cool!! I'm subbed to
Squatch253's channel. He has an ongoing series thoroughly restoring an early D2 #5j1113 dozer. He might have a line on one. Good stuff good stuff.
Thanks Eric!! We'll pass the info onto Mike!!☺
you need a crane on your trailer :P
Yeah Buddy!! A big one!!☺
What's wrong with the engine? It's been messed with.
Not sure yet!! Looks like it might just be having some parts scavenged from it!!☺
Hello Hello
Hello Gijs!! Thanks for stopping by Bud!!☺
Here is a video of another D311 being started with the pony engine showing the missing air intake manifold. th-cam.com/video/gMj_jN-bciA/w-d-xo.html
