The Fire Engine Broke! Take the Tractor instead!

[@wm565]

I drove my great uncle's old Massey Ferguson 35 doing chores on his farm in Texas back in the mid-1960s. Loved it. Very simple, very reliable, and very versatile.

Watching these videos out of order is like reading chapters of a book randomly. Still a great video, but I already know how it ends.

[@lmm]

Ah sorry about that 😂

[@williamsantangelo]

Thank You another brilliant show Billy PJ LI N.Y. USA

[@GTFour]

Turns out I like tractors, more videos on the tractors!

[@lmm]

That can be arranged!

The air compressor would put clean air into the coolant where all the others would put exhaust in. You should eventually be able to detect soot in the coolant unless it is air compressor.

"For The Emperor" Nice t-shirt love 40k i'm new to your videos and am currently binge watching almost EVERYTHING. Keep up the good work :). P.s I'm from Suffolk to.

[@lmm]

Thank you, did rather enjoy 40k back in the day - not moved on sadly since the new rules. Glad that you are enjoying the content, and we'll do our best!

Old stuff has a habit of letting us down in our hour of need. My newly rebuilt V8 has eaten its push rods in 35 minutes running. It's now full of swarf and needs another rebuild.

[@lmm]

Oh no! That's so upsetting. I feel for you!

[@Cliff_P]

Great content. Better than a fire engine for me.

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it, I think I prefer Jupiter personally.

[@Cliff_P]

@@lmm lol. We'll each his own treasure. Keep up the great sense of humor. I also learned exhaust pipes are hot.

[@lmm]

Hahaha, glad you are enjoying the stuff we do!

Something has just struck me with the coolant miseries with the Dennis. Are you sure the thermostat isn't stuck shut causing it to overheat and boil the coolant in the cylinder head? I have seen something similar with, I think, a Jaguar XJ-6 with the XK engine, it wasn't circulating coolant around the block due to a stuck thermostat so eventually it was boiling the coolant in the head. Then the steam was forcing itself through the bleed valve in the thermostat and pressurising the radiator forcing coolant out of the joint between the rad and the bottom radiator hose. A new thermostat, some new rad hoses and clamps cured that one, surprisingly the head and gasket had survived being cooked, though I don't know how that went long-term as the owner sold it once it was behaving itself again...

[@lmm]

I thought this was the problem - makes complete sense right? And the temp guage wasn't working, so I replaced both of them. And it still has the same issue. Seems unlikely that the new ones have failed too?

[@chrisdavidson911]

with a modified filler cap, can you artificially pressurise the cooling system (with air, no coolant), and then look for leaks?

[@lmm]

That's a good idea. I'll have a scout around for a suitable adapter. Cheers!

[@cme2cau]

You need a combustion leak test kit. A magical fluid that changes colour if there are combustion gases in the coolant.

[@lmm]

I have put one of those on, but didn't get any colour change. I'll have to wait for it to over pressurise again and put one on and see if that does anything...

[@cme2cau]

@@lmm I reckon @gosportjamie may be on to something with the stuck thermostat.

[@lmm]

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I've replaced both... So feel it's unlikely?

[@cme2cau]

@@lmm i'd still take them out. Do you have one of those thermometers that you just point at things?

[@lmm]

No, but they're amazing. I should get one just for fun!

[@Landyman563]

I’m sure by now you’ve got it fixed but have you checked the air compressor head gasket?

[@lmm]

I had the compressor checked by a garage, though they didn't do a good job of checking 😂

Defective thermostat on engine??

It seems to work, more or less anyway 😂

[@Duececoupe]

Aaaaaannnnnd how many tractors could Squire have bought, for the price of this moveable fire extinguisher? 🤨🤔😉😆😂

[@lmm]

Depends how much the tractor is!

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

First‼️Some things are meant to be‼️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Just a couple of points :- Any fool can review something. It requires a certain type of genius to review nothing. For the fire engine, I'm betting it's a crack in the block, but, then again, I've always been an optimist.😆😆😆

[@lmm]

They are indeed! It is your destiny! I'm really hoping it isn't a crack in the block. I don't want to take the roof off to crane the engine out....

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

@@lmm Look on it as an opportunity to excel.

I mean, I would like to drive a crane...
