How To start a 47 year old tractor

[@billupstateny9151]

Another scenario where the hero of the day, drum roll, yes the ether bunny. Please remain seated until the bunny has left the building, thank you.

[@mmccoy577]

Really liked the video. I like seeing old engines come back to life.

[@LordMuck]

Glad you enjoyed it Mike, hope you and Mother are both well.

[@patkelly7999]

Failure is not an option, good job Kurt and David, Fantastico:):)

[@JRattheranch]

😀😀 I'll bet I'm.your only Welsh subscriber that actually lives in Belarus. It get bloody cold here on a winter's night, as you rightly said. I've seen, more than once, the tractor driver, light a wood fire under the sump, early morning. Go for a cuppa and return 1/2 later... No paint on the engine, but I would start! Enjoyed. 👍👍👍

[@LordMuck]

I don't normally allow the Welsh to watch 🤣 Yes, I think you're the first Welsh viewer in Belarus 👍

[@johniksushibar165]

i got arrested by border guards on the Polish / Belarus border....wearing flips flops, shorts and a Hawian shirt...true story :-)

[@Gunnertdnew]

I like the zip ties mix

[@jaks202]

it is a water-cooled two-stroke engine, if you let it run enough then it also heats the diesel engine and the exhaust manifold has a built in intake to heat the incoming air

[@LordMuck]

Yes that's right. It's a clever design.

[@TractorTen]

Look forward to whatching later on tonight🤠👍

[@martynwakeley8736]

The banter is good . Thanks keep it going...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Tarmo1998]

in russia they light campfire under the engine if its too cold, sometimes we do same in finland😅🇫🇮

[@LordMuck]

Yes, they did the same with tanks in WW2 👍

[@CrimeVid]

Don’t worry, I’ve had to do that on English building sites in the winter, that and the burning rag over the intake as some poor bastard swings it by hand ! (obviously not the Belarus)

[@krazerblop2289]

Love the zip ties and bias plies scene 😂

[@davidfisher9978]

I had the dubious pleasure of working on some Belarus Dump Trucks (6x4) on a motorway construction site in the early 80's. Very heavily constructed castings from sh*t metal, half shafts kept shearing, but they tended to be overloaded most of the time anyway. Good clutches, well never had to change one anyway. Big V8 diesel engines, no turbo's in those days, manual gearboxes, left hand drive, wooden framed cabs with steel cladding. Very crude and clumsy, but no doubt cheap as vodka at the time!

[@DDSpeedShop]

haha working those handles with no idea whats going on was fantastic

[@LordMuck]

Glad you liked it Dan ! Oh... and Fuck Off 😉

[@jimdavison4981]

Whod a thought you could have so much fun waiting for an engine to start keep up the good work. Great stuff.

[@supperflydaddycar]

love the @ziptiesandbiasplies shout out there.

[@rippingit3770]

And Larry enticer 😂 my two favorite Canadians

[@jaks202]

you have to pull / push (depending on) the lever that is in the flywheel basket until it makes a click (it opens itself when the engine starts) and then pull / push the second lever to start the diesel

[@gooseturbo6087]

I’m a recent subscriber and love your channel. Keep it up, I’m here to stay.

[@LordMuck]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cpedersen474]

Great video. Its good to see there's guys like you on the other side of the water.

[@donc81]

I've always wondered about these machines but every video was in Russian. I always enjoy you explaining what you're dealing with

[@hfdzl]

Got to love it when Mickey mouse and co take up residence inside. The smell and joy of getting things apart! TA!

[@beboboymann3823]

Man, I watch your vids to see the video insertions you come up with. Educational and hilarious. Good job my Lord.

[@JonDingle]

Cheers Lord Muck, you made a glum day bright wiith another fine installment!. When I was a kid (so in the late 1970's) my dad bought a pale blue Moskvitch. It was a tank of a thing and had the fuel filler behind the rear number plate it ,was a bit basic after Jaguar 420G (long story). Then, as a young bloke living opposite a mill with a big stone built water tower that was scheduled for demolition a big CAT D??? something (Have slept a lot since those days) appeared for the demoltion work along with a large 20+ton Ackerman 360. The CAT D????? had a donley engine to fire that up. The puny little donkey engine sounded rubbish, but the main engine was glorious! Top video young man!

[@philipm1009]

Great video Lord muck cheers

[@exileinderby51]

Another cracking video to keep us on the edge of our seats, reminds me of the old radio serials!!(that's showing my age) Three dislikes? I think people who give a thumbs down should state their reason for them!

[@LordMuck]

They probably like watching vids of guys taking a shower instead

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

It's the same in the Midwestern US. They used to put pony motors on a lot of the diesels sold here in the 50s, 60s, and 70s as It gets below -40°f/c in the winter.

[@andrewmear8704]

It was great to see the process of trying to get this Belarus started 😁great video as always 👍👌

[@aidanquinn5498]

Great video, I believe John Deere. Had pony engines on old iron, Cat definitely had. Haven’t had a haircut in four months looking like the Thing from the monsters.

[@LordMuck]

CAT referred to theirs as Donkey engines, I've even got it written in a 1943 US Army manual. JD called theirs Pony motors.

[@MrRoseandrc]

Beautiful man Beautiful Thank you for your videos in the middle of the USA Nebraska a lot of tractors out here

[@milwsdl39]

Awesome videos always love seeing the old stuff run 👍

Ole David 👍 I used to drive his fastrac alot of years ago great bloke👍👍

[@stuartrance277]

Fantastic video ,always worth the time to view & hence why I subscribe. Just wanted to say , I like the way the videos are made, your not rushing through latest subject’s, especially with the crawler film, explaining the machine, showing the 2 engines & what they do , then on to the petrol engine problems, your showing us all what you are doing & explaining clearly & very good clear camera work. Taking the old magneto off & showing us the make up of the components & the faults !!! Most other poorer channels old part off , new part on & that’s it , please keep the way you do things & the format as it’s a winner !!!!! You create the interest in the videos which is a very good lead into the next crawler episode, many thanks enjoyed !!! If you were to do some channel stickers, would like some to help raise the subscriber numbers, thanks Stuart

[@buzbygolf]

Brilliant content enjoy what ever you work on ! Keep up the good work 👍🙃

[@patricktutty9985]

Great to see these old engines been started up. Keep up good work.

[@tompearce9000]

Loved the video Mukka keep them coming.

[@gareth2673]

That made me chuckle, and yes, it sounded just like a scooter engine. Brilliant video as always.

[@pbgd3]

Accidentally watched the second one first and didnt catch they were starting a pony. Sitting there thinking why such a large engine had such a dinky carb to feed it

[@micha9584]

love watching your videos keep up the good work

[@roberto33812]

Great video looking forward to part 2👍

[@Eremon1]

I just about pissed myself watching this. The comedy clips are brilliant.

[@robertspear9134]

20 years ago my cousin converted an old Cat bull dozier from pony start to electric starter. That was the biggest starter I had ever seen. Only problem was the old Cat had no way to charge the battery so the contractor put it on a charger every night to keep the battery up. Great show. Thanks for bringing great content to you tube.

[@simonjones7785]

LOve the cut in from lock stock and two smoking barrels great film

[@rowan2128]

That was awesome! I really like the crawler. I don’t think I have seen a crawler tractor before. I am pretty damn sure that the donkey engine will start the big engine!! I can’t wait to see all the engines from the last videos comments! Great vid lord muck!

[@ginggur17]

Hello buddy. Now that has some serious character Podge. Love it.

[@matthewbrittain2919]

Used to have a Belarus MTZ 52 twenty years ago! Had a side to side gearbox and lots of levers that no one knew what they did! But my god did it pull! Long stroke engine and mad portal front axle. Crazy thing! Loved it!!!😂

[@ashleystephens8305]

Another great video never fails to make us laugh keep up the good work.

[@nautilus1872]

Great content, as usual, fair play. You'll have to include an inertia start, starter motor soon. First class channel.

[@ohboy2118]

Nice one Mucka feels like ages for this one to come around. Can't wait for part 2!

[@LordMuck]

It was one thing after another and you can't just nip to Halfords for parts. I'm glad we kept at it though as it's something different.

[@ohboy2118]

@@LordMuck so was the 2 stroke donkey engine air or water cooled? If it was water cooled did they use the warm coolant to flow around the bigger engine to help warm it up like CAT used to do. Same with the exhaust gases being used to warm stuff up. All else fails you put a can of oil under the oil pan and set it alight. Either warms the engine or burns it out either way it gets hot. Lol

[@simoncooper188]

Omfg lord muck you are a superstar. The stuff you come out with. Keep your vids coming soooooo good

[@dannichol3181]

Another brilliant video.

[@robevans8555]

Feck I thought it was Christmas when you started on about little donkey 🎅. Great work, can't wait to see if it will crank the big engine

[@Scoope31]

Absolutely top class Mucker, but who is the W**kspangle who gave it a thumbs down, some odd miserable people out there.

[@PapaJ5667]

The fucktard that gave it a thumbs down is probably a troll still living in mommy and daddys basement with a hotpocket stuck up his ass ...jus sayin 😂

[@wildefox1478]

That's great you got the pony engine going, I've always heard them called pony engines but you can call them whatever you want. Looking forward to part 2!

[@LordMuck]

Donkey, Pony, Slave - they are all terms that are used but Pony motor is a term you only really hear in the US, the rest of the world tends to say Donkey engine.

[@mikahakkinen5651]

hi. great video. in old days allso in north finland they just to have a little fire under the oilpan. in cold hard winter times. but it was little bit dangerous, many trucks and tractors burn down if not good control on that.

[@pseudopetrus]

So glad to see some of the old stuff, how to fix them and how they work. Ever since I have been watching tractor videos my feed has been polluted with dealerships trying to sell their new stuff, I wonder if all these new tractors with plastic parts will last as long as the good old ones! Here in Canada, in winter it is so cold, plastic cracks very easy.
