an Liquid Frying Oil using on diesel engine

[Golan]

must be some **** off 12volt motor to turn those tracks

Now your just being silly! ;-)

 

[Golan]

ta ,do you have any extras to go with it

I've got a Cordwood saw and a plough. I've yet to have a go with the plough though.

 

[jamesmartin]

not the best ploughs as tend to lay tiles but original toys are a good thing

good one any piccys, i served my time a massey dealers in early 80s ,bigger tractors but still basically the same design hydraulically, first tractor where hydraulic arms could be used to give traction

Here are a couple photos...

My tractors doesn't have a pump to fook it has a carb! The recipe was given to me by the old chap I got the tractor from. The heating oil I use is clearish... And if it was going to fook up my engine I think it would've happen in the last 7 years... ;-)

Right got you now, a mix of petrol and paraffin would do for that then. The old Morris Mariner engines used a simular mix. The JD has worn off a little.

tvo isnt red diesel which is diesel its a mix to burn paraffin in petrol engine and has a great smell that reminds me of when i was little ,heating fuel is either diesel or paraffin

You're right of course James JD and computers don't mix apparently. Forgot about the old petrol/paraffin engines. Got diesel on the brain.

It's funny if you look in the workshop manual they call it a "Lamp oil engine"

The old petrol/paraffin engines used to start on petrol then you switched over to paraffin when they were warm. They did not like ticking over on paraffin though.

Yeah i agree. Had a funny moment with an old Morris Mariner long ago. Me and the step father bought an old boat on the canal. It had a Mariner petrol/paraffin engine. We took it for a run out of the basin where all the other boat owners were having their after noon tiffin. On returning the engine cover that had the throttle linkage attached to it, and was just sort of held on by catches, decided to fall apart and the bloody thing went back through the basin flat out. There was tea and cream cakes all over the bloody place as the boats bobbed about on the bow wave we set up. We were asked to leave the basin shortly after that. About ten minutes later actually.

Thank you
Yes I've done pretty much all the work, when I bought it, it was in a field and only just ran (a bit!!) I can understand how it works and how to fix it... I wish I could do the same with my RR....
The saw is a beast isn't it! It makes short work of lots of wood that you would normal throw out for being too small...
And Wammers right if I run it on TVO for too long with the saw (you only need it ticking over) it starts to run a lumpy...

 

[jamesmartin]

youve done a good job then ,has it rear exhaust ,they where prone for setting hay /straw fields alight ,ive worked on alot when doing my apprenticeship but never took any notice of the different models etc ,used to have a weight transfer bar for towing 4 wheel trailer where arms were used to lift draw bar putting weight on rear wheels

 

[Golan]

Why thank you good sir....

Yes it has a rear exhaust, I'm thinking of changing it to an upright because it gets a bit smelly after a while...
I've just bought a pick up hitch so I can tow normal trailers...
I'm no expert on tractors but I'm learning.... I hope to have a go at ploughing soon the down side is that I'll have to do it in front of old boys that have been doing it all there lives.... I could end up making an arse of myself!!!

 

[jamesmartin]

have a go its a great feeling when you get it, even if you never reach expert ,make sure wheels are set for plough ,i watched a neighbour try it with wheels set wide couldnt get the next furrows to reach the first without a gap ,but once youve got basics its simple but getting a good finish takes practise ,its more enjoyable than most would expect

 

[Golan]

I'm sure that if I turn up with all (well most of) the kit they'd be only to happy to share there no-how.... Either that or they'll tell me to naff off!!!

Personally i find ploughing blondes to be the most rewarding.
