Yes sir Mr Sam. Take us back to a simpler time.

It's a 4.203 Perkins. When this video was made the injectors and pump were just about shot and the rings were worn, between the fuel system and low compression it was very hard to start, we rebuilt it all since then and it starts great now. Unfortunately the wheels rusted out and it's sitting on blocks waiting for time and money to repair the wheels

@@zaggnutt2479 Great. I think mine is a 1960. I has never had the engine worked on, as far as I know, and it uses no oil. It was abused, before I acquired it, at least to some degree. I never saw them change the oil, or replace the filters for the 20 plus years I saw the tractor working. I am amazed that it does so well, under those circumstances. Perkins must be a fine diesel engine. Glad you got yours back in good shape. Good luck with getting your wheels repaired.

This one was about shot needed a complete overhaul. Runs like a top and starts easily now

Unfortunately they replaced it with an electric motor. No more hit and miss music. 🙁

It was about worn out back then. No intake heater No block heater. Injectiors and IP both worn out. Low compression, worn starter. It's all been overhauled and even with a weak battery it now lights off quick and easy

Engine very tired. Easy enough to do.a brilliant engine they are .perkins 203

Back then it was so worn out it was a miracle it started at all. It was rebuilt a few years after this video was made after it dropped a liner. Now it starts super easy

Its a found on road dead

1999 Ford Windstar 3.8L V6...DEATH BY BOOT!!!

Best we can tell its a 1956

Nope

@@lonnybruce9407 So what type of engine is it ?

@@psirvent8 throttle governed Fairbanks Morse ZC

@@FlatBroke612 Isn't that hit and miss though ?

They run right off the gas from the well head. No refill needed as long as the well has some gas in it.

Noel Mitchell well its over 60 years old the rings and liners and injection system are all shot. It has so many hours on it the hour meter is worn out. Nothing that can get down there in the snow to jump it so its a one shot kind of deal. If the battery gets ran down the driveway doesn't get plowed and i don't eat so i did what i had to to get it running. Since this video was made I got the engine and injection system completely overhauled and it fires right up no matter how cold it is. You have no business calling someone's video shit if you dont know the circumstances. Your so bitter and empty you have to find fault with completely innocent things people do.

@@zaggnutt2479 You are so right, as there are no regular glow plugs on the 65, ether do less harm. I have used it a lot myself, when it was really cold, I even heated the engine with coal fire to heat the oil sump (colder than -7 F/-25 C) engine still running smooth...

When I watch videos of these nodding donkeys, the more they sound like they're coming apart at the seams the more I love them. Don't know why but they're just so cool. The HM motors sound like they're alive. Great job capturing the sound and character from all angles!

why would they do that? i'm sure it would have kept running just fine

@@gtb81. If the well has to pump for a short time each day (if the pump can pull up more than the formation feeds) it is easier to control and probably cheaper to run. It’s common to do that and have the pump start and stop automatically, or in some cases they’ll run a variable speed drive to match the pumping speed to the well’s capabilities.

Hey I live a little more than an hour from Edmonton. I dont often see small ones like this but rather larger ones maybe a bit more than double the size of this. I think the wells are deeper and they need larger pumps to counter the weight of the rods.

Slavelake most are bigger but still quite a few small ones around

David Nichols onetime I drove down a lease rode and a young guy who had no idea how to start one had been sitting there for hours... forgot to turn on the fuel

gary24752 yes it is liquid cooled. no water pump just convection

water boils in the hopper under the radiator then the fan cools off the steam it does not pump water through the radiator

Yes. It looks more like a Bell D12. Radiator and fan shell I know are Bell 208

grumpyoldsoandso it was removed last year i no longer have access to it.

This is a oil well brand pump jack size 16

al i do think ur right. an oilwell 16. good pjacks man. ....smooth runner

Yeah most 65 unless already rebuilt are on there last legs. Compression is down , injectors and pumps need work. Plus when it's cold your also pumping cold ass hydraulic and transmission thick fluid making them crank even slower. Usually starters are lagging and electrical is never up to par to get the amps and crank voltage needed. Unless you want to spend some.major money on rebuilds a little starter fluid is not going to hurt a worn out engine already........jeeez....best thing he can do is install a block heater to help it out more .

A few years after this video was made it dropped a liner and got a complete rebuild. With new injectors and intake heater rebuilt IP and starter. Starts great now.

Mine has no heater. Perkins. Immediate start

F.M. 118

bourbonfan1 that’s a 208.

Colin MacKenzie some natural gas ones have a big single on them and then they are self sustaining

taximan1969 it’s not a Jensen. My guess it’s an Oilwell or American.

Overloaded! magneto clicking. governor causing it. keeping it from running away when its under balanced. Fairbanks and Morris dry valve intake.

My thoughts exactly - probably the rod bearing on the verge of failure, probably in another ten years or so.
