I had no idea how small that tractor was until you picked it up with the Bobcat. Nice of you to clean up the ruts for the lady.

[@adamlevin6088]

Matt, your excitement every time you get an old engine running is infectious. I sit here cheering for you every time. I really enjoyed this one in particular -- what a great old tractor! Thumbs up for a great video, and definitely a thumbs up for pink paint and wrap!

[@onetruecharlatan]

I'm not a diesel mechanic by any stretch, my experience is with gasoline engines, but watching Matt revive several of his machines over the past couples years I've learned quite a bit on how to troubleshoot diesels, large and small. Don't own any, but if I do at some point in the future, I think I'll have a better understanding of how to work on them.

[@billgardner9328]

Fun watching you learn about glow plugs. I was screaming almost but you got it!

[@kameljoe21]

@@billgardner9328 I am pretty sure those glow plugs are 12/24v DC. Most things that I have ever used them on have 30 seconds timers. On the many bobcats I have ran they have 30 second timers. When it was 20F or lower I would cycle it twice, while not really needed. Its seemed like it worked. Anything with glow plugs is worth doing.

[@scheusselmensch5713]

This tractor was also sold as a Satoh Beaver. I have a really nice example and it runs like a top. One thing to be aware of is that if the glow plug system is not working, they are not happy about starting unless it's a nice warm day.

[@Acaidia]

The older Kubota's are the same way. Sometimes even when its warm out they need glow plugs to start.

[@964cuplove]

I was wondering the same thing why not hot wiring those glow plugs …. ?

[@LR90_200TDI]

Pretty much all indirect injection diesels struggle to start without glow plugs unless it’s warm

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

First job out of high school in 1970 was at a local family- owned garden center who also sold Satoh tractors. They also had a commercial grounds maintenance operation. Many times, we would go to the site of a new home and do landscaping ,planting trees, shrubs and even a sod lawn. and they used those Satoh tractors. For their size they were amazing and so reliable. You have a true gem there. It deserves a full restoration for sure.

[@charlesnoneofyourbuis5819]

I think that you should video everything you do with that tiny tractor. The steam clean, the replacement of the exhaust manifolds, the repaint, and especially the gifting.

Well done Matt. I rebuilt an identical tractor in Papua New Guinea some years back. It was badged as a Ford 2000 ( I think) and the engine (also identical to yours) was made by Shibaura, out of Japan. A full rebuild from nose to tail, saw it mowing grass happily for many years after. Good memories!.

Your story about giving your wife the tractor reminds me of a real life gift exchange our friend had with his wife. Their birthdays were close together. He wanted this special shotgun, so he bought it for his wife for her birthday. She bought him a dress (that she wanted) for his birthday. And they had a gift exchange. So, when your birthday rolls around, don't be surprised.

[@4dognight192]

Matt, your sense of humor and mechanical sensibility,...I can honestly say you're someone I could enjoy hanging around with. When you said your wife doesn't want a tractor, but you're gonna give her one anyway, that's exactly what I'd say about my own wife.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Considering how little it took to get it running, you got one hell of a deal on that little tractor! If you do decide to repaint it, I suggest dark crimson for the areas that are now dark blue [that color will show the dirt less], Barbie pink for the areas that are white, and a leopard print seat cover. Oh, and don't forget the deep blue LED headlight bulbs. A nice final touch will be to paint eyelashes on the cowling above the headlights. Your neighbors will be scandalized, but your wife will love it! As a bonus, she'll own a machine she can use to compete in those garden tractor pull events! She'll become so famous you'll have to start a whole new KZbin channel!

Cool pick Matt! When I saw the fuel spurting and the sparks from the starter flying around,I thought you might wind up with an EXternal combustion engine. Also - these revivals would be way easier if you had one of those starter jumper switches for jumping the solenoid - just a suggestion based on 40 years of engine work. EDIT: and Eva just showed up with one!!

External combustion engines add a lot of excitement and make good video content but don't do much for the tractor 😃 If it was gasoline instead of diesel I'd be willing to bet that's exactly what he would've had

It's great to see an old little tractor running again. I'll bet each time you show up at the NAPA store the guys behind the counter are thinking, "what is Matt going to ask for today?" Dig out the old parts catalogs.😆

[@alan6832]

If he wasn't alone, he could just roll this stuff off at 5 times the revs he can possibly get out of the starter, and save the ether. Almost anything will start if you roll it to the red line. Actually, he can do it alone by hauling it up a mountain.

[@alan6832]

Matt has a 2 stroke diesel now and those take API CF-2 rated low sulfur oil to prevent coking problems. Strangely, the Wal Mart brand is CF-2 rated but the made for purpose oil is Delo 100, which your NAPA will probably have to order for you. Anyway, Rotella is wrong for 2 stroke. It also would not surprise me if air cooled diesels might want a higher temperature formulation than water cooled diesels, the same way air cooled 2 stroke gas does not take the TC-W3 made for water cooled boat 2 strokes. Probably same for air cooled gas lawnmowers.

They were commonly used by farmers in Japan, for farming and working at cultivating and harvesting rice. They are small, but well built like the B600 Kubota that we commonly see in North America. Kubota tractors seemed to be more common around Narita, north of Tokyo, but there was a Mitsubishi dealer near where we stayed, and they sold equipment to compete with Kubota. There were other brands, but I own a Kubota 4x4, and a KH90, and only had eyes for Orange.

[@oldtugs]

The difference is dramatic because an indirect injection engine squirts fuel into a small precombustion chamber where the glowplug is located. That small chamber is surrounded by a large mass of cold steel and until that steel is warm or there is a red hot glow plug, the engine will not start. Using glow plugs saves a lot of starters, ring gears, and batteries. Basic diesel mechanicing.

I always like to watch the struggle, but never get tired of your reaction when you get one going 😂, great stuff.👍 of course your wife will love the 🚜 😬

Sounds like your mic is having issues weird Scratching popping noise when your talking Matt I'm sure you probably fixed it or replaced it by now 1:00 @Diesel Creek

OKAY Matt. I've finally picked myself up off the floor, after another great video. There are, in my opinion, two things that could happen after gifting the wife a hot pink and cheetah patterned tractor. Both of those things are definitely going to leave a mark. One, you'll get started yesterday on the house build. Two, you'll get started yesterday on another Man Cave.

Seems a decent little tractor and that log splitter that comes with it is going to be handy also another decent video Matt keep up the good content

About the glow plugs, there’s a good chance that’s an indirect injection diesel. Most small kubotas are and that is the reason they don’t like starting without glow plugs. Also gotta be super careful with ether on indirect injected motors really easy to detonate cylinders. Good job saving the old girl!

There are times in deed when I think you own major shareholdings in Acme starter rebuilding companies.

I always enjoy it when you get your "new" equipment to run! Your joy when the engine begins to run is contagious. You are a great diesel mechanic and diagnostician, in my opinion. Another opinion: keep the little Mitsubishi tractor out there on your property. I doubt Ms. Eva would enjoy running it. I think she would appreciate you using it to rototill her garden area for her. As you said, "she doesn't want a tractor" and since it's kind of a rough ride, it is doubtful that she would utilize it. I would suggest that you fix up the blue Jeep and give that to her. Put a roll bar and a top on it and make it presentable and I'll bet she would drive that around. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Great video Matt. When it fired up I had a smile from ear to ear with you. That will be a great small Tractor. Looking forward to more on this one !!

I love seeing these old things being revived. Great work.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

400 bucks not bad for the small tractor the 4 attachments the 4x8 trailer and the cherry oicker Nice Deal Matt 5:00 @Diesel Creek

[@richyrich4672]

Saturdays best I think she’ll love it. Pretty in pink

[@Arnaud58]

Nice asset! But quite a struggle.🤗 I can't stop wondering what would have happened if you used the glow-plugs right from the start...🙃 @14:38 Did you see that mouse fleeing to hide between the front right wheel and the container? 😃 @53:51 It will surely not be the same, but a cushioned chair would do a lot. Maybe it's even possible to spring load it...😉 After all it is for Eva!😁

[@Disblair]

Another great video Matt. You have the patience of a saint to get all these old machines running. Thoroughly enjoy watching you at work.

[@patgamble3217]

Pink for her awesome she'll love ❤️ it brother.

[@NotSureNhnnvmpSB]

I love to see old machinery coming back to life again🤟🤗

[@1SmittysGarage]

That little tractor is all kinds of awesome! Great save! A little bit at a time, video by video, I'm encouraged to one day try to revive my 62' 801D Powermaster I bought saving it from the crusher. Blessings and respect!
