Trying to start huge Cat engine , hasn't run in 20 years. subscribe for part 2!

[@user-nj1qo7cg8k]

Very clever thinking to spin the engine over this way!! Saves batteries, starter, and don't need starting fluid to make it try to start!

[@user-xh2so8ef3o]

Run it with NO fuel and on compression for five minutes, then add fuel. It's cold, it won't start until it's heated. Right at the end, the tractor should have declutched and the engine would have taken off

Pony motors were great.

[@roykey3422]

My father in law sold an engine like this and the people who bought it did this very thing. And it started. The governor was frozen and the engine ran wild, the clutch on the cat engine blew first, shrapnel everywhere. Beware.

[@johnstoffel5885]

This is their first Rodeo for sure.

Good luke

[@caesar1295]

Just subscribed to the channel I want to see the Cat come to life!

[@funkinflugen]

Oh man, the video ends right at the "money shot"!! Hope there's a part 2?

[@buckeye1034]

Yeah my camera cut out right when it was getting good. I'll post another video of it running soon

[@rudycarlson8245]

Did you end up giving it a little bit of starting fluid that might have helped?

[@mchl8]

By indicating its cold use a rosebud burner down the intake in cycles while it being turned over. That'll help unjam the stuck rings enough to start. Also use the clutch on tge engine that's heavier to take the abuse. That lil tractor won't hold up to that.

Looks like a sawmill cat

[@catman13131313]

waiting for part 2, i have a big OLD Cummins i start the same way

[@Yellow_iron_and_spanners]

What’s happened with the stater engine

[@dakotak8437]

This how im going to start my dozer from now on lol

[@user-sl2rw6il4j]

Cosby sauce!😫

[@dougbawden4321]

Old pc diesel probably needs a bit of heat to get it going

[@austinlloyd9757]

Isn’t that the wrong rotation?

[@MrMikey4026]

Looks backwards to me!

[@mikejohnson4617]

If I'm seeing it right, looks like CCW when looking at the flywheel end. I believe this is correct for many industrial engines.

[@whitesapphire5865]

Unless the tractor has a reversible PTO, then yes, it would seem so. Intuitively, logic would dictate that both the tractor engine/PTO and slave engine should be rotating in the same direction, however, some engine variants are built for opposite rotation. If we look at what appears to be the exhaust stub, we can clearly see that's where the exhaust gasses are coming from. If the engine was turning backwards, any exhaust gasses produced would be issuing from the inlet manifold. I remember my brother buying a used engine to put into his JD combined harvester, and having to belt start it from a tractor belt pulley in order to obtain the correct rotation. Once woken up from its long slumber, that engine started from its own starter motor and ran perfectly.

[@whataboutbob7967]

The video is a mirror, flip it left for right and it all makes sense.

[@Smoked_5L]

Itd be rotating clockwise if viewed from the front where the radiator is.

[@tedhicks5431]

I guess it didn't crank

[@JoseLuis-ob8bn]

Contraten un MECANICO

[@edmcelhone4501]

it wont start with pto turning holding it back too slow of spin get 1000 pto
