RUNAWAY DIESEL ! (Well, just a bit excitable)

When a Detroit Diesel gets excited people think they've run away but the truth is they are just excited and wanting to stretch their revs a bit !
In this vid we see the first start of my Detroit Diesel 6-71

Kim's welding is very tidy good to see a hands on girl. Loving the content

[@CalamityKim1]

Thanks 💅🏼☺️

[@terryatkinson3182]

Everyone likes Kim, who wouldn't want her working in their shed. She knows her stuff.

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

@@terryatkinson3182 I saw that smile on her face when it was finally running👍👍I believe I'm a bit enamored with her😍😘

[@shawnhake6115]

I don’t know why but I’m drawn to the little Dexter. I feel like it’s the underdog somehow 😂

[@gregculverwell]

Back In the 80s I went sailing for 18 months. Found myself in St Martin looking for something to make some of money. Got hired by a supermarket's to install an emergency generator on the roof. It was a Detroit 6/71 genset. I knew next to nothing about Detroits , but somehow knew enough to know that they were notorious for running away & often had an intake damper to killing it. So prior to firing it up I looked for the damper & made sure it worked. Fired it up & It immediately tried to go into orbit. Very exciting sound! I killed it & went to the owner to tell him he needed a Detroit mechanic, then held out my hand for payment - my job was done.

[@LordMuck]

Stuck injector (or several) Easy enough fix, strip, test, rebuild. I had the same issue with my 4-71

[@LordMuck]

Early part of video 👌🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWLGaX1upLiUj7s

[@gregculverwell]

@@LordMuckYup I know that now, having watched ended Bus Grease Monkey videos, but back then it was a black box to me & I was sailing within a few days. I didn't know about sticking injectors - I thought it might be leaking blower oil seals. Anyway sorting out the mechanicals was not in my scope of work.

[@john4252]

When you put the block of wood over the supercharger all i thought of was when peg got that concrete truck haha

[@buzbygolf]

Being a Ford man has to be the little dexta for me, having said that what ever you do I will watch because you keep us interested and that Detroit 6/71 took me back to the sound of my Bedford TM 4400 brilliant !😊😊👍🙃

[@NUTTER8291]

Slightly scary brown pants time.. Well controlled !!

[@simonbingham6813]

Love the Detroit noise . Brings back a lot of memories putting them on the test bed and firing them up for the first time after mayor surgery . Nice one lord muck

[@davyboy888]

Two strokes are the best. Remember these Detroit diesels in the CIE Bombardier double decker buses that were the maystay of public transport in Dublin during the 1980s. They used to scream their nuts off and regularly put rods through the block etc... Great days... almost as good as a 100cc racing kart engine [albeit without the aroma of Castrol R30 :)]

[@davidkirkham6929]

Has to be the Dexter ,Kim can sort any welding seems that she can turn her hand to anything !!

[@ianwallett7438]

I lived four mile away from the local power station, with the wind in the right direction I could hear the Terex motor scrapers screaming away... sweet.! MF 175

[@pauljohn6637]

Let’s go with the Dexta. Many years ago a lot of collieries had TS 24 scraper boxes and the twin Detroit’s could be heard singing for miles around in the dead of night. An old coach passed me Friday on I 95 with a Detroit , looked and sounded nice. Probably a V6 though. Not to many around these days. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@totalutternutter]

My dad used to drive Scammell tank transporters as a civilian for the army and often reminisced about routinely coasting down steep hills in first gear with a tank on the back then dumping the clutch to snap the governors so he could get a few extra miles per hour out of tractor unit, apparently it was common practice to go miles off route just to utilise a good hill for an expedient tune up.

[@LordMuck]

It's a five minute job to do that without reverting to over speeding the engine.

[@jimmybroom]

Great video. Kim’s welding is superb. Great to see. Ford Dexta definitely. Lovely little tractor.

[@emmaoakes4170]

Got to be the dexta. Some tidy welding girl, keep the vids coming.

[@steven907]

That lady can weld that engine sounds so sweet 👍👌

[@nuggetwv5302]

Nothing like a screaming Detroit to make you smile! Love it when they bark like that!

[@heavenlyhell90]

An absolute perfect way to clear out the shop for spiderwebs and other stuff thats need to be cleared out🤣👍👍 i think its lovely thath you dare👍👍👍👍👍DEXTA please.

[@sawsurgeon]

Beautiful work made of the fabrication👌🏼 I’m steeped in and infatuated with 2cycle Detroits and that has nothing to do with being from The South of Michigan! Dad tells a story of a 6-110 on a rock crusher that turned the sky black one day as a rather large bearing failed... When she cleared her throat everyone noticed! Love your level headed aptitude. The true “Runaway Failures” are oftentimes an alternate source of fuel or even crankcase oil going where it doesn’t belong. If the air supply isn’t cut off they can become violently disruptive. I have seen a 6-71 stationary engine in which the cylinder head and crankshaft were basically the only things remaining holding itself together. Probably a wrist pin failure, but the flailing rod annihilated the block casting nearly in two. I assume she ran until the camshaft broke! Great Content as Usual👍🏼 Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

[@mikekelly7506]

Circa 1970..Seen this happen before, We used to run a fleet of Euclid TS 14's and 24;s scrapers with 4 cyls and 6 cyls and the engine blocks are reversible so the rotation can be reversed. Once after strip down and overhaul we mounted a four cylinder on our dynamometer, cracked it up and it ran away and ripped the prop-shaft and flywheel drive plate off the dyno. Our quick thinking foreman was brave enough to chop the high pressure fuel line to stop the engine, from what I remember the governor linkage had not been assembled correctly . But very little damage to the engine. One important thing to remember when turning these engines over for valve clearances by hand is cut the fuel supply as if these motors are warm they could strike up.

[@gsh39]

I’d have to say the Massey. Kim is a fair hand on the welder. Better than many I’ve seen. Great show as always 👍

[@geraldingram9351]

God i love the green 71 the sound is comfort we use a3/71 in our fishing boat thats why they sound like comfort to me you ate getting home with that sound ,long live Jimmy ,also thank you ma Lord,ps let that diesel flow .Gerald NZ

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Nice work there Kim!! Can't let LM take all the credit lol! Thanks for shipping my T shirt, can't wait to sport it about ! My vote is for the Massey 175!!!

[@willjeffery2661]

In the early 90’s I worked on a potato farm in Derbyshire. We used a 3000 for moving the Artic bulkers (empty and full) around the slightly sloped, wet and muddy concrete yard. As you can imagine, this led to some hairy moments. You know, the ones where your arse is grabbing the seat.

[@truckerlee47]

Ffs. I had my earphones in when the Detroit let loose. My ears are still ringing. 😂😂😂. Best sound ever. Got to be the Dexter im afraid. 👍

[@seanworkman431]

I've reached into an 8/71 that got excited to shut it down. Not for the faint hearted. Injectors were knackered. That is why they have an air dam.

[@LordMuck]

Yep, that's why it's the first thing I make sure is working before starting one.

[@johnheard2814]

DEXTA! LOL nothing like a screaming demon!! Detoits if they ain't wound up they ain't making horsepower lol love that Kim is so talented and she does awsome work!!! Love seeing her smile!!!

[@zundappz4]

Hi mucker! Like I said before I'm a Ferguson fan, but I would like to see the dexta first, never knew many of those, I'm curious about it! Keep with the good videos!! I wait all week for them!!

[@simon-oy6um]

Always enjoy your vids because you talk about the engines and not yourself 😂😂❤❤

[@paul3506]

Love the sound of a Detroit

[@FarmerTom08]

Smart welding Kim !

[@FarmerTom08]

Dexter Please Kurt! Hope you are all well,nice work on the Detroit !

[@matthewlogan9134]

Dexta please Lord Muck, I think you've got a ghost watching you through the window for this vid 😀😀

[@LordMuck]

It was Kimberly stopping the little terror from jumping on set and stopping the filming

[@fredorico41]

I saw that too.

[@theyorkshireworkshop]

[@robertkeable1627]

Damn that makes a good noise. Awesome as ever guys. Be well and stay safe.

[@fasteddy2780]

Id like to see you’re working on the Dexta. Nice welds made by Kim.

[@whitestream5233]

Excellent video , really cheered me up , love the sound of that Detroit engine , you both done a good job of getting that up and running. I would like to see the Dexta next? They were good little tractors . All the best .

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Renko is Detroit powered - great channel - ATB

[@fredscratchet1355]

Eventually! That sounded really nice 😂

[@johnangus895]

There is no question just keep it BLUE

[@82kz]

In Tech School about 15 years ago a 12v-149 took off, the instructor grabbed the nearest C02 fire extinguisher and stopped it dead, detroits are horrifying when they take off lol

[@moneyprofessional]

Brilliant fun. The noise that made was epic.

[@royster211085]

Loved the Detroit decoke, looking forward to seeing more. dextra sounds interesting and kudos to Kim for the nice welding!

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Great vid mukka. Iam going for the dexter. Just recieved my fud weasel t shirt and stickers, great quality T shirt fits like a glove. Thanks for a good reliable service. Keep up the good work. Cheers Geoff

[@LordMuck]

Glad you like it 👍

[@pseudopetrus]

An unexpected Mucker video, suddenly the day just got brighter.

[@paulg9483]

Another great video your Lordship, good to see Kim again love a girl in overalls 🥰 Keep up the good work and stay safe mucked.

[@WilliamStevens007]

Ooooh lovely sounding engine, One of the best I think.

[@DavidBrown-ky9cw]

No end to Kim's talents.Great to see the Detroit fire up.

[@peteallen4629]

Well that de coked it 😂, sounds lovely that.

[@richardparton1655]

Dexta loved it on the hay bob catching some rays👍🚜

[@terrygreen4338]

Enjoyed the video, dexta for me had a few on the farm my granddad worked on. Keep up the good work cheers 👍🚜

[@peterwardle572]

Dexter please, keep it small for now, something that a ordinary person could tackle. That Detroit was great, and on full chat, unintentionally though!!!, out of this world.

[@saxovtr1234]

What a awesome video ! End sounds sweet 👌👌👌👏👏👏

[@davidgibbings6085]

Awsome Detroit sound mucker , I reckon the major 🙂👍

[@robandrews2053]

What a welder!!!! Such a neat job

[@kylesullivan3114]

Dexter got to be my favourite 🐃👍

[@kevinisaac9139]

Sounds lovely that Detroit especially on full song 👍

[@akersjon278]

That Detroit rev up was kind of epic, I hope you will ad a couple of seconds of that in the credits going forward...

[@mikeduin8311]

That Detroit did a Lord Flashheart: wruff! Great vid! And for me I'd have to say Massey.

[@ashleybarratt5292]

Great video and that Detroit sounded mean the next project videos has to be the little Ford dexter can’t wait thanks for the content

[@timstephenson4520]

What a wonderful noise. Takes me back to my Terex days, shovels and dumpers. Cracking vvideo.

[@junglistp]

Love to see the little dexta

[@chrisc3197]

Two Stroke Detroit's like throttle when starting

[@LordMuck]

Not when it's an unknown engine. Once it's started a few times and you know it will behave then you can apply more throttle. Who knows, maybe the governor is broken ?....

[@leedonald58]

Love your Stream . can learn a lot , Thank You 😊

[@greighenderson4464]

Great video as always, can’t beat blowing the cob webs out and fumigating the shop all at once and good see Kimberly getting torn in about it👍!!! Looking forward to the Matador engine video and it’s the Fordson Dexta for me please, had one here for the last 40+ years and still is capable of doing a days work😀. Mind how you go 🐶🚜👍👌

[@keithrogerson1762]

Im goimg to say 175. Was just about to watch another youtube video when the notification came thru so straight on to your video. Got notified today my items getting shipped so cant wait to see them and get that kettle on.

[@brendanmurphy5831]

Keep up the good work love the videos

[@onemanandhisvlog1396]

That thing sounds absolutely savage! 👍🏻

[@harrothepilot]

The Dexta would be nice Mr. LM please. Hahaha, reversed out a couple of brown house bricks with that mini run away. Great stuff. Cracking vid, cheers.

[@rangeroverl322]

Nearly a brown trousers and bike clips job lol. Great Fab work by Kim, good job guys 👍👍 let’s go for the Massey

[@dafyddmason4559]

Dexta please sir lovely bit of welding 👌

[@graemeskipper7078]

love the sound of a 2 stroke jimmy the old man had one of the first TM Bedfords in NZ with an 8v 71 in it 318 HP twin stacks you could hear it coming 10 km's away lol lol

[@donc81]

And one of my favorite sounds is a Detroit reving up. Great video Muck!

[@LordMuck]

Thought you'd like that Don 😉

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I've seen a few of them run away. Probably the worst was on a 25 below zero morning when an operator was trying to start a crane. The starting fluid was cold se he thought that was the problem. He got a warm can from the shop and it still wouldn't start. As it got lighter out he saw that the emergency stop had been tripped. He reset it. When he started it, it took off, burning the excess fuel and starting fluid. It has so much exhaust pressure that it pushed the muffler off. It survived. It's even more fun when a driver gets one in a truck running backwards.

[@juliancarson610]

Yes definitely the ford dexta all the way👍. Can't wait for the next video, I'm still catching up on all your old video's as I'm a late subscriber.

[@jamesjohnson5640]

Having grown up with an old 8n and 9n I think another Ford would be fun. But that Massey sounds interesting too. I'm going to watch either way. Both sound like a good bit of fun

[@stuartpatterson2754]

Really enjoying the content of the channel, got me will it start t-shirt, i think for your next project id like to see the dexter

[@lee-hallagri3075]

Massey. Brill as normal mate, love the hockey 🏒 puck tip.....😎😎😎😎

[@patkelly7999]

Oh the Dexta please, thats where the driving career started, Good job Kimberly, Kurt and Puppo, very nice bit of welding, a talented Lady:):)

[@fenlandrob6203]

Hi there Mucker WoW she sang out there and didn’t mis a beat and running lovely too, young Kim is pretty tidy with the welding!! Proper job. Great video, fenland Rob

[@paulcox571]

Lovely video lord muck Kim’s welding is very good l like to see the Massey

[@mikeroutledge6929]

Got to be the Dexta, love that Detroit btw

[@stevehuffman1954]

Dexta lord muck, also Kim did extremely well job on the plasma cutting and her welding is spot on.

[@petermorrish6355]

We had those Detroit Diesel 6v 71 in a KM Bedford went real well but no back pressure going down hill it was the first to have them in New Zealand at the time as Gm put them in as we needed them to haul containers

[@jefftheaussie2225]

Developed in Australia of course.

[@scottsaunders3112]

Great film really enjoyed seeing the Detroit come to life must admit I would have run when she barked. Got to be the Dexta for me.

[@paulatkinson2849]

[@oliverbudd3880]
