Free Tractor Dozer Abandoned in the woods for 20 years. Will it start??

It’s 3:30am in Wales and I’ve decided to watch this before going back to bed 😂

[@nevillebartos2858]

Hey Marty, as an old electric motor winder, a better way to clean out the comm segments is half a hacksaw blade with the tooth offset ground off so it's straight and use it with the teeth facing backwards towards yourself. Ideally you want a half to 1mm of depth in those slots. This will give you a nice flat surface on the mica in between the comm segments 😊

[@markhorrell9213]

Good advice. Had to rebuild my Navarra starter motor...made one up out of 2. Learnt that trick 40 + yrs ago n still applying it. Nav runs good now!!!

[@willtricks9432]

Now that is valuable knowledge shared with the hungry minds on this channel, thank you.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Thank you, Neville, for sharing your insight! All the best, Andrew Thiessen

[@llorttaf]

Yup that is a good trick for starter motor commutators.

[@markhelseth253]

Neville - great tip. Heard of the hacksaw blade trick - but never filing down the offset.

Quality British Engineering - built in Yorkshire by folk who took a pride in their work and with old fashioned values regarding materials effort and interest in the product. These and other DB products went round the globe from Huddersfield and many are seen in Aus, Africa Asia and parts of N America, many still going . Renowned for ease of starting , economical running and power for their size. Iconic. So proud to see it kick off once given a chance. and purring after so long in the wilderness.............

[@EricaMTB]

I had an 880 in Australia and liked it

[@manlyhelp]

I’ve got an 1190 (Badged as a case but from what I understand the last of the David Browns) It’s old and was neglected to the point of having pretty low compression, but it never fails to start eventually, gets the job done and the price was right. Someday when I finally have the time I’ll do an inframe just to get it starting easier in the cold, but until then I just have to keep a good battery in her for the cranking.

Every time I watch Marty bring back one of these mechanical dinosaurs back to life by just doing basic due diligence, it makes me wonder why couldn't the other guys do the same?

[@simontay4851]

Too lazy. But he did need to replace the starter motor. The shorted original motor is probably why it was abandoned.

[@deanjones2525]

@@simontay4851 I agree. However, to discard such an expensive and useful piece of equipment because someone couldn't diagnose this problem is more than just lazy. It's INSANE.

[@dan0000023]

when the tractor was arriving at your property I was imagining like a scene from Cars where all the other machines sing out and welcome the incoming, like a soldier found lost in the war "don't worry mate, Marty will fix you up" and the old John Deeres nervous face fading with relief that he wasn't being carted off to be scrapped, but brought home with new friends, just when he thought he'd been left in the bush for dead.

I've gained a greater appreciation for diesel engines while watching your channel over the years - if you can spin it and the fuel is clean and getting to the injectors, it will run! Love your methodical practice of assessment, then running through the systems necessary to get it spinning then firing. Great lessons for the generation coming up on the many mechanical devices still out there - they will still be running when the CPU-controlled units are sitting in the scrap piles with NLA CPUs! Cheers from California!
