Well you just restored my hope for the next generation that young lad has got operator blood running through his heart! I am glad to see that he was very willing to listen and when things got a little ruff he didn’t get rattled and his journey man didn’t yell and scream at him excellent video and I am saying that to every one involved! And thanks for giving that young man the opportunity we need more young people learning to keep the old iron running!
Are you supposed to throw it into diesel mode at full throttle like that? My dad almost killed me when I tried it with our old TD-14 at about the same age.
From what I've read/seen online, believe you should shut-off the gas valve, allow it to burn-off the remaining gas, then, as the RPMs drop, start-up the diesel. That makes for the smoothest transition. Would love to see one of these beasts in person and see it operate. Best!
Ever run one of those hand clutch machines, it's all or nothing, I learned how to operate on one of those type machines too, a TD9, if you had run one you know the kid did a great job, the world needs more kids like this one.
Years ago (20?) Me and my onkel took the steering clutch apart from a td18 (shaft had snapt off) two month ago my cousin called me too remeber how to desamble it again for same reason. he's realy into vintage Machines: ru-vid.com/show-UCTgscQXuP7ivU7ZcwKoymfQ
