I dunno. Maybe I handled that wrong. People are just acting like this is some kind of rare, desirable, high value machine that we are going to depend on to make a living. In reality it's just a lump of old iron that was headed for the crusher. It might still end up there! Somehow, to a large group of viewers, us cutting a few corners to figure out if this thing is even viable and worth spending any time or money on is worse than just letting it rot in a field like it has been for almost 2 decades. I don't get it.

Diesel fuel ignition temp is 410°F. Gasoline burns about 100°F hotter. Also plenty of unburned fuel in a dirty old style diesel to absorb cylinder heat by vaporizing. And much heavier iron castings, too. Taken together, those things are going to make this engine run cool. Also very dirty, very toxic fumes for the operator sitting on that old board seat, and very heat and fuel inefficient. But I doubt that diesel's higher cylinder compression has much to do with it. Fact is, moving or not, this machine is still basically junk. Gotta love the operator's safety roll cage. But of course real men don't need no stinkin' safety roll cages. That's why in America the death rate for men over 45 has been rising over the past 20 years. Speaking of things only safety Nazis could love, with that cut from a piece of old rusty metal...Wes, when was the last time you got a tetanus shot update?

They read things so they think.that means its fact. Yes you CAN burn exhaust valves without exhaust manifolds but not instantly. And DEFINITELY not because of back pressure. Back pressure power loss is what idiots think causes loss of power when they cut cats off their 94 chevy. In reality its the o2 sensor freaking out cutting fuel=less power. Back pressure and pressure waves are only critical on 2stroke high revving engines. Old diesel 2strokes dont really care they just work

@@WatchWesWork My granddad bought it 2nd hand in about 1960 - it had been used in logging. My dad finally sent it down the road about 10 years ago. It ran awesomely. But the tracks had gotten so thin they had to be addressed. New tracks cost more than the value of the tractor and never could score "good" used. Plus he had a D6. The good news is the D4 went to a "hobbiest" with the intent of fixing it up - where cost vs. value doesn't follow the same rules. So it continues to live.

I worked for a guy in the 1960 who had a 4-71 GMC diesel in a GMC truck that had a cracked block, and it leaked coolant into the engine. Solution, oil in the radiator. It worked, but ever so often, you would have to drain some oil out of the crankcase and pour it back into the radiator. We hauled some heavy equipment with a float on some back roads. On one hill, the driver and I had the doors open ready to jump when we pulled the engine down to lots of black smoke, and very few RPM until we topped out. We stopped the truck, let it blow a little, drained some oil out of the crankcase, poured it back into the radiator again, and went on our merry way. GMC/Detroit diesels sure put up with a lot of abuse. The guy ran Allis Chalmbers HD16s a HD20 that used a torque converter that ran diesel fuel through the converter then into the engine. I was only about 18 at the time, not smart enough to know better, but it was fun.

I certainly do hope that no serious damage gas occurred to your engine. I would not wish bad on anyone. I truly loved my HD-5. Amazing low end torque! Oil out the exhaust was the first symptom right before mine came apart. I was just trying to get it out of the pasture and onto trailer so that I could haul it in for radiator repair. Mine did not fair well...at all. Still have the engine if you need parts...... Luckily, I had a pump skid with same engine handy.

I was a little uneasy at first watching it run without coolant but it's obvious you guys grew up around and work on machinery every day and know when an engine is getting hot. Also, it's not mine. 😁 What did give me the willies though was watching your brother start it with ether. I'm guessing that's what it was. Maybe okay while priming the fuel lines but it shouldn't be needed afterward. I hate that crap. JMO though. That slobber out of the pipe is an exhaust antirust feature included with every Detroit at no additional charge. I promise your DIY exhaust will outlast the crawler. You probably know this but watch the blower seals. If they go bad the motor can feed off the oil and air and go Ziiiing!! ;-) To those freaking about about the WOT revs: A 2 cycle Detroit has a max RPM of 2100 more or less depending on injectors and timing. At max throttle they sound like they are about to explode when in reality they are turning the same RPM as a 4 cycle at high idle. Nice video guys. Very enjoyable.
