The little foot pedal next to the transmission shift quadrant is the decompression pedal, you step on it with your left foot, hit the starter button and release the pedal.

Right in plain sight! I didn't know why I didn't see it 🤣

@ no worries, it happens when you’re excited to be looking at tractors!!

@anthonyhengst2908 Ай бұрын

Thing about these county fairs is that unique things always seem to appear.

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

Yup. It's always fun to see the odd ball stuff that people have saved over the years.

@wbreese9903 Ай бұрын

Some pretty cool stuff there. Thanks for the video. If you check out the pony motor on your R, you will a lot of similarities to the one on the D4 Cat.

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

Yes, they look very similar. I've heard that Deere got done pointers from caterpillar as they were designing the R.

@wbreese9903 27 күн бұрын

@@jonelsonster True......and some of the Deere people gave Cat some pointers on hydraulics. Such informal collaboration likely came to an end when Deere went into the industrial equipment full bore......

Nice vid. I know you’re not showboating, but fun to hear you show off your tractor knowledge! Keep ‘em coming!

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

Ha ha! There are always tractor nuts that know way more than I could ever remember. 🤣

I read somewhere that the JD 70 series had a problem with the splines on the flywheel getting worn from the great forces from the engine stopping and rocking forward and backword as it was stopping...

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

I've heard that too... Not necessarily just the 70, 720, or 730, but all the two cylinder Deere diesels. I've never experienced it though. The simple solution is to pull the decompression lever when you're sitting the engine down. Then the engine can just spin freely to a stop.

@richardskarie802 Ай бұрын

We had a 730 diesel with electric start. There were four 6-volt batteries under the seat, wired for 24 volts. I wonder if the higher voltage was sufficient to eliminate need for the compression relief.

@brianrvd Ай бұрын

No, they still had compression relief, but it is a tiny pedal instead of a long lever sticking up.

Some other people commented and set me straight... For operated pedal on the left of the steering pedestal. Right in front of me the whole time! 🤣

The 2 cycle Detroit does not have an intake or exhaust stroke so it uses the gear driven blow to blow the exhaust out and put fresh air in for the next compression stroke.

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

Yup. They can't run without the blower feeding them fresh air. I've heard some people say that since they've got the blower they're classified as forced induction.

Yes it does its underneath the engine block a peacock on each side

I know the gas letter tractors have a petcock. I was referring to the compression release on the diesel tractors that opens the exhaust valves to release all the pressure in the cylinders. Some other comments informed me on the 730 it is a foot pedal instead of a have lever like the 720 had.

I've seen hundreds of antique tractors but I've never seen a 'Power Horse' before. Nice review of the line! For the record I'm NOT a fan of straight pipes for naturally aspirated tractors, especially the 2 Cyl JDs. The muffler delete on those does nothing for me.

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

There are a few guys out here that collect the power horses, so they show up at local events. But I've never seen one in operation. It'd be fun to see one in action.

@normsweet1710 Ай бұрын

The compression release lever is foot activated; just to the left of the shift tower

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

It was right in front of my face the whole time! Foot operated is a nice feature since your have are always busy doing other things.

@ I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t spent my Senior of school nights afterward & weekends helping the farmer across the road. Back in 1968

@MOTrav Ай бұрын

The fuel lines on that Farmall 706 looks like a bowl of spaghetti. Is that what you call a case of method or madness?

Beautiful chaos.

Good day from Ont Canada Up her fordson major were fairly popular, MF,ford , nuffields, david brown all diesel fron England & a lot cheaper than American tractors. Middle 60's most were from there. Ot seem they all had problems Ths interesting

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

I remember my grandpa and uncle had a David Brown they used as their loading tractor. They had a 55 gallon barrel on the back full of concrete as a counter weight to keep the tractor balanced when they were moving big round bales

@MusicandTractors Ай бұрын

That power horse looks an aweful lot like an Allis Chalmers B in the front, at least the tin. Any idea if that’s what same motor as a B?

@donvoll2580 Ай бұрын

G day yea after video looking at it hood shape gas tank Ths

@jonelsonster 28 күн бұрын

I think they used a little 4 cylinder flat head Continental engine. But you're right, the sheet metal looks almost identical to a little Allis B or C.
