I agree 100% It's the way we've always started our 720 Diesel. Doing it like this guy does loads the cylinders up with fuel, and can hydrolock it, or let it pop off backwards.
RustyCarnahan his popped right off i also need to point out that hes in a warm climate (can tell by his accent) and this video was shot in North Carolina
I agree with the 'fuel off while cranking' in principle, but this was probably not the first time that has been started on that day. I've never experienced problems with having the fuel on while cranking regardless of how long it sat.
The pony motor shares is coolant with the diesel it also its exhaust wraps around the intake of the diesel engine the two little ways that Little Pony motor is warming up the diesel as it is running the exhaust is warming up the Diesels intake a lot of warm air to go into the diesel which allowed it to fire off a whole lot more easily eliminating the need for glow plugs
@ernie27177 You are dead right!! DO NOT advance the throttle until everthing is ready for the big engine to start. See, "John Deere 730 Diesel Tractor Start Up (pony engine)", for the correct way. JS
Thats how its done on many Russian tractors, in the extreme colds of Siberia its better. You get to warm the engine before you start it, and theres no worry about frozen batteries.
This man takes care of his tractor and in turn the tractor will take care of him! Beautiful tractor!!!!
Nice tractor! Always loved tractors from that period and this is one of the models I`m locing for.

Interesting and sensible about the pony motor. The rest I don't know enough about to comment.

John Deere had a rather bewildering amount of letter and number variants through the years.
Twin cylinder units no longer in production.
