I know I cottoned onto you a while back n been pickin on yas every now an then but in case ya thinkin I'll miss out today here's some fuel for thought that's comin down the line to youse. Always great fun watchin you all, Thanks Hanks n crew. Ya fan from Downunda.👍

Well don't mention some drunks unscrewed that line a 1/4 turn at a time probably in the dark.

[@gregrhodes8451]

That was absolutely fantastic!!! Ida never guessed it would start that soon after the fuel line laying on the ground. Thanks an ole fieldrows are good folks. Keefe an Jim or Randy are so fun.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

They are good people for sure

[@bobbyhernandez2415]

Them spindles brought back A LOT of bloody memories……..I’ve tried explaining to my son how we used to clean spindles with a curved blade….one by one every morning before getting cranked up for the day……..hence scare hands.Now I just showed him on this video the spindles of pain……thank you sir

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I hear ya

[@jefferyrightmire9520]

On batteries. There are two ways to connect more than one battery. One is "parallel" which is/ + to + and - to -. The other is series which is - to +. If both are 12 volt of similar size-- Series doubles the voltage from 12 to 24 VDC. Parallel doubles the available current . (amps)

[@Hilltopangler]

I was thinking this was going to have to be a mini series with just trying to piece that injector line back in there. Good video. When it fired up the first time I thought oh, they must have already got the lone tightened back up. Then I saw wiley grabbing wrenches.haha

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol. Thanks for watching

I had to get a 1975 John Deere 4400 combine running one time when I lived in Kentucky about 18 years ago. Similar situation, Sat in field, etc. got it going, got ac working, and, handed it over to the farmers. Was fun to test drive. Large straight 6 diesel I seem to recall…

Yes!! 😁👏👏👏👏 Runs like a top! Great work fellas! By the way, Elvis was on your pack of wrenches, Hank.

[@MontsFamilyHomestead]

Hank have you ever thought about that every fuel line on a diesel is the same length. That unit will make a great repower for something of even a well. After a all day event using shorter cables to take the amp draw and BOOM!!!!! LOL You all be safe and God Bless.

[@Slane583]

Besides the missing axel I wonder if that old cotton picker was save-able. It looked to be fairly clean for sitting there so long. Also, you can't beat simple, it just works. :)

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I don’t think so. I think it had some more driveline issues.

[@Slane583]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm That's too bad. It looked to be in decent physician condition. But being from NY when I see something that isn't rotted into a rust pile it looks fixable to me. :)

[@warrenmichael918]

@@Slane583 well technically it IS fixable, but not cost effective to do it to this old girl. Yank the motor for another projust and scrap the rest is about what needs done with her.

That was funny hank elvis was on your tool bag lol

🕺🏻👍

[@mediocre_moto]

Instead of using multiple batteries with somewhat "questionable" health with all of those jerry-rigged cables and connections, why not just put one good battery on the machine and run some jumper cables to the running truck? That way you'll get ~13-14 volts, and the truck's alternator will pump in any extra current needed to turn the Cummins over... Beats having four crappy batteries in parallel any day of the week.

[@CJ_Caster]

That's awesome. We have a case IH 1660 combine with the 8.3. It's a beast. Good video

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Hank you and Whilley are a he'll of a team loved it I wanted to see you guys drive it but run it did never miss a video keep up coming thank you for sharing and your time was really great.

hard to do with three tires :) Thanks for watching Phillip!

Great video and seeing Elvis hang out in the tool bag with the wrench’s

[@AJmx2702001]

Case Cummins CDC 8.3 were used in everything at one time and thats one of the good east moline made cotton pickers If memory serves its a 200 horse engine in that machine and the CDC engines were built in Whitakers, NC, USA and made engines for Case and the cummins B and C series and ISL engines .... CDC was phased out in 2008 and Fiat buying Case formed the European Engine Alliance which used the 8.3 as the Basis for the new line of engines under the Iveco Name for Fiat and CNH now use a 6.7 NEF and Cursor 9 ..

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

That’s cool

[@GEOsustainable]

I can see your problem right there. The paint is scraped off. I'm alright though, I got to use my Crescent wrench today making coffee.

That was surprising how quickly it started when it did. Cool video

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

indeed

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Stud those batteries with allthread and use wingnuts. You'll be able to utilize any wiring configuration and save the wear and tear on delicate lead. Ohms law is against you because of resistance and the length of your cables. Even 4AWG will have limitations and you'd be lucky to see 200amps at the starter with all that length. I bet you'd peg an ammeter at the starter posts. EDIT... LOL, damn.

We run three Case Ih pickers in the early '90, however, because their baskets didn't collapse easily for transport we moved to John Deere and never looked back.

[@eddieglasgow6055]

Another good video, Elvis on the tool roll.

[@RODALCO2007]

The missing fuel line on the ground, maybe used to burn the wasps. That engine is a pain in the a## to work on, very difficult access. Battery heaven LoL ! That engine firing up on 4 out of 6 fuel lines was amazing, it sounded that the engine was part seized or the starter brushes completely worn out. Sometimes it is good to check the outer casing of the starter in this case, if that gets very hot, very quick, there is a lot of current going through the starter, as it tries to turn the engine. Great video as always. Good running 6-banger.

[@Legotruck82]

Hey Hank. Just wanted to say, compared to a month or two ago, you guys audio is fantastic. Good job to you and your crew.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

from my experience not a very reliable cotton picker picked cleaner then the jds and better dumping system but broke down quite a bit

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

[@donnienicholson6062]

Bubba was going to make a drinking straw for the beer hat he was rigging and dropped the fuel line when the wasps attacked him.I can hear the ghosts of old share-croppers who picked cotton by hand saying A little respect for that wonderful machine please.

Diesel Creek sent me to preview you guys. I love what I see so far!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks!

[@smarternu]

TECHNICALLY, Neither AMPS, nor VOLTS drop. The resistance increases. If left aver a long enough time, heat would damage the portion of the circuit that has the most resistance. Smart to clean all the fittings, that reduces resistance and allows the amps to get to the starter. ALSO, you can connect 12/24/36 volts and it will spin, but it is built for a certain voltage. Too many volts often damages a motor not built well.

[@Clawson_customs]

We use the 8.3 liter Cummins in some of our mining equipment at the coal mines here in Utah

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

Even though their 20 plus year old machines, there are many 2055 Case Ih pickers still mechanically sound and working.

[@youngfarmmechanic3327]

Amps actually=faster turn over, because a starter mainly uses amps to turn over.

[@cecilledbetter2715]

great job guys

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks buddy!

[@neil6212]

You will probably want to re think your battery system, to save yourself a lot of grief in the future. I personally always liked to work with 8D batteries w/combination terminals. A practical setup for you would consist of all group 31 batteries, and removable post adapters. Use cables with lugs whenever possible, and get some real heavy duty jumper cables with 2/0 or larger wire, and not too long. Voltage drop with a 1200 amp load is horrendous. When trying to get one to crank, check voltage at the starter under load. You'll be amazed. For my money, welding cable makes the best battery cables, and seems to last forever. 30 years ago or so, I made myself a set out of 4/0 cable, scrounged from a scrap pile. Still have them. No clamps though, just lugs.
