Marty: there is something so very satisfying watching You resurrect some of these old derelict and misused tractors. By applying some basic mechanical knowledge with a little tender loving care and a few replacement parts you manage to bring them back to a useful service life once again. It goes to show how very well engineered and crafted that these mechanical marvels were to be able to survive such a lack of care and maintenance. Thanks for the most enjoyable video. Kudos on the veggie oil conversion as well. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

Another good episode. That vege oil is trash in the injector pump. The engine begins to smoke more and more until you feel sick being around the exhaust. Not a good idea in fact. You might already know the oil polymerises (?) Turning into a pasticised rubbery film which builds up into a thick impervious varnish, not that it is matters.

Hey Marty greatly useful couple videos for me. I'm 80 now and not physically up to this kinda work but I live up in the mountains above the Snow line. I have a 1968 IH modle 444. Your procedures were exactly the same machine as mine. Mine spent it's life in the orchards up here in NE Washington state. It is a pretty good old tractor that needs a lot of minor tweaks. But 3 years ago the injector pump quit. Searched endlessly for a rebuilt or new one. The one company that had been making them for $450 bucks ( no core exchange) went out of business. A great guy in the UK with a KZbin channel called Bundy's garage did a step by step walk through rebuilding the pump I have.( A CAV typ).I've been a skilled mechanic for 60 years so I ordered 2 complete rebuild kits. I was confident I could handle it but a couple years in and out of hospitals my sight sucks and hands are feeble. So no confidence with all those tiney parts. I just wish I could find a ready to go to just install. They built so many of those BDs I thought surely I could find one. I did the entire purge n flush of the hydraulics like you with no info. I learned useful tips watching you. Subbed. Great quality presentation. Thanks Dandahermit

The first tractor I remember on our farm had a two fuel system. It started on petrol, and switched to TVO (paraffin) when it had warmed up. I know it was a Massy Ferguson and would have been built in the 1950s or 60s so possibly a T20. Another story is from when I was an apprentice at Ford UK where one of the fitters showed me a trick squirting brake fluid into a carburetor which produced a wonderful vegetable oil smell. Vegetable oil was considered exotic because it was used by some racing two stroke engines at the time. I have a vivid memory of being passed by a Scott Flying Squirrel (about 1970) which left a beautiful smell of vegetable oil behind it.

Cooking oil is a good solvent and will clean the dirt out of the tank and fuel lines. So have a new fuel filter ready. And it isn't just various veg oils that will run an old diesel engine.

Another great MartyT video, thanks. Your use of diesel/engine oil spray took me back. The garage where I was apprenticed had a drum of old engine oil and (I think) paraffin kept near the grease-ramp. It was used to spray the undersides of cars (rear springs, gear linkage, etc.). When taxis came in for a check-over before their official roadworthiness check (this was before the days of MoT tests) they usually asked for it to be sprayed over the entire bottom of the car.

Hi Marty, Did you know Rudolph Diesel invented his engine to run on peanut oil or any hydrocarbon! The fuel companies had waste from petrol production, and the rest is history, so you are going back to the roots of the diesel engine! I have been making "BioDiesel" for over 20 years, which is made from used /new veggie oil , BUT is very different to straight veggie oil. SVO will /can gum up pumps /filters due to the glycerine , but properly made BioDiesel removes the glycerine and makes the fuel suitable for ANY modern engine. I've been running my Disco Td5 on my fuel for over 15yrs and have never had an issue, but it would not like SVO as it's too think and the glycerine will cause issues. Also , the veggie oil will destroy any rubber hoses , so take a spare! Properly made Biodiesel will /does improve engine torque , and has far more lubricity than diesel, so it's better fro injectors /pumps BUT IT must be made to standard! Older engines with mechanical injection are fine on SVO , so you'll have no problems , especially flushing it with diesel! Thanks for the video. Cheers Gregg.

[@retrofitter]

Be careful you will gum up/cause corrosion in the pump if left in there. You should put a tap on the bleeder on the pump and recirculate it through the water jacket and back in to the inlet to heat the fuel. With a few extra taps you can plumb the return of diesel+veg back to the tank in flush mode. This way you can flush it out faster if you are interrupted. The timing advance is done by lift pump pressure acting on a piston that rotates the pump body. The increase in viscosity is probably affecting this and the spray pattern of the injectors.

Diesel/oil engines were originally designed to run on poor quality oil. While veggie oil has a lower viscosity I can't see it being a problem its still oil. Also he's running an old agricultural vehicle which has been stood for years. I cant see running veggie oil causing any problems? I'd love to see some actual scientific papers on this and some physical evidence to prove its a problem and not just Hearsay. Just my opinion.

Just realised why I enjoy watching your videos. It's like when I was a kid, and I used to watch my dad work on old cars. Takes me back to a time before all the bs going on in the world. Cheers, Marty, for some respite.

This tractor sounds better than my Bighorn when it's cold

Hi Marty. 200 dollars does not sound bad for some rims and tires. By using some of the spare parts, you have started to recover some of that cost. Using the vege oil might have two benefits: You spend less on fuel and your friend may not have to have it hauled off. The rust preventer actually makes the tractor look better, in my opinion. Perhaps you can find a mixing valve so you do not have to disconnect the vege oil line each time. Have good days!

I love what you did to that old girl. It looks a 100 %better. Keep the videos coming buddy and thanks for sharing it with us.

insulate and mount the veggie oil tank under the hood, exhaust side, and run the oil through a fuel preheat heat exchanger. the coolant with the engine warmed up should get the oil to just about the right viscosity to burn nicely. the engines I work on for a living run on bunker oil, and with the fuel preheated like that, they run pretty clean once warmed up.

Great advise on preheating the veg fuel. just like the cheap fuel after the war called TVO, tractor vaporizing oil. one should switch back to reg fuel before shut off. I am puzzled at the glow plugs being in series!!! Good Luck, great to see these machine get a second life.

Wow, that donor tractor certainly came in handy! At this point, the running one is practically like new! Love the veggie oil idea - one thing I love about this channel is your resourcefulness. Hopefully one of these days I'll learn a lot of these skills myself. These videos are a great resource!

You can preheat the veggie oil to, say, 50 degrees C, until the power output is comparable to pure diesel. And make a 3way valve for easy switching between fuels. Good job.

Something satisfying about building 1 good tractor from bits of another doner.

I sure love your bull terrier puppy, he’s so adorable! They’re really awesome dogs MartyT, I always enjoy watching you repair old equipment and restore it back to life! When it comes to repairs and refurbishing equipment, you sure know your stuff brother from down under! I believe you’re the best mechanic on overall equipment repairs no matter gas or diesel my friend! Sure I miss Rambro but he’s still in my every thought when I watch your channel! Thanks so introducing us to Rambro’s son, he seems to be a pretty ruff boy too! lol 😂 Hey with the parts tractor you have your own parts storage there my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I bet you have a mechanical engineering degree for sure my friend, you’re really intelligent MartyT! You can fix anything that needs fixing!

I love how you recycle these old machines. Testament to how well things were built in the past
