1966 Ford 4000 Tractor Cold Start 

Pretty cool trick. I'll admit it worked. We had a Ford 3000 for many years. Fed cows with it. Below 30. Give her a shot of starting fliud. Below 10-15 had a 110 volt mangnet heater. Stuck it on the bottom of oil pan. + Starting fliud. Always did the trick. We hardly ever go below zero where I live how ever!

I love the smell of old tractor diesel fumes. It takes me back to the good old days. Im only 26 but I can imagine old machines like this lovely old gal being a lot easier to service than all the computer controlled stuff of today. Thank you for posting and hope you’re well

In india 🇮🇳 people loves this beauty , also it's sound. But unfortunately it's rare. Luv you veere( bro). Veere means brother 😊

Auch ein guter Trick, ich kenne es mit nem Fön, aber auf nem Feld ist das eindeutig die bessere Lösung!

Many hours on a Ford 4000 and starting it everyday in some very cold weather to give the cattle hay. Pull throttle half way, pull choke full, push in clutch to lower drag, crank and when it fires push in choke immediately. Started it for many years and never turned over more than twice before starting.

nice video..my tractor massey ferguson.i love ford sounds

Another great video Dave. Reminds me of my 69 4000 every time I hear you start her up.

Good video. Here are three ways to help improve cold starting in winter. 1, Add quarter of a gallon of petrol to a full tank of diesel fuel. It thins the diesel, stops it waxing over, makes it burn hotter and makes the fuel more combustible. Do not add more than a quarter to a full tank of fuel because it could damage seals in the fuel system. 2. Add and egg cup full of Acetone to a full tank diesel fuel. Acetone doesn't thin the diesel but it does add Oxygen (Oxygen is trapped inside Acetone) and it makes it more combustible and run a little hotter. Beware adding too much! 3. Make sure the exhaust isn't blocked by snow for example. I consider a full tank of fuel is 11 Imperial gallons so deduct the amounts given accordingly. Be very careful and observe caution at all times. Not advised to set a burning torch on an engine for the reasons cited below. 1. All you are doing is mixing burnt fuel fumes with cold air and that mix is going into the bores and doesn't get a clean start because it partly chokes the fuel air mixture in the bores. 2. Risk of fire spreading! 3, Places soot/carbon deposits in the air intake system which over time will reduce cold air intake. A bit like never cleaning an air filter or changing one.

Old is gold

Good job Dave.. Lots of snow there, good thing no big branches come down on tractor sitting under that tree.. :) Merry Christmas

This is the perfect video for when someone says something about how they miss "the good old days when tractors were simple and reliable". Ok grandpa, I'll go hop in the 5125 that will start up in 5 seconds and I'll see ya in an hour when you get old reliable running. Don't get frost bite lol

That was a neat starting trick it worked well

Stary ale jary :) Brawo

Nice video with love from india. Here this method is also use for starting old diesal engines in winter's..

nice starting

Faine tractoare , tankuri 😁🤘

Sounds good!

I’m glad I live in Australia!

Hello, very good idea efficient !👍👏.Happy Christmas 😀👋

Tractor istoric desi are deja mult peste 50 de ani aproape 60 inca mai duce . Prea bune si reusite :)) 4000-ul vecinului meu e tot c-am asa de-o seama cu al tau si recent adica in toamana i-a pus servo :))

You are doing very good.But also it would help if You pump up the diesel at first with the handpump,it saves capacity from the battery.It seemed to be air in the system.

I love the plan B

Nice tractor

Well...that is what we call "cold start"!!!Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Stunning my friend, another great video

Wow amazing cool tarctar

I’d tell you to try it with a fancy new John Deere but you won’t ever beat to old stuff

i like your Channel, you make good movies.. thanks

You need to press the excess fuel boost button located on the injector pump. It is in the middle of the throttle linkage....She will fire up i a couple of cranks.

Good job Dave. It should also help if you would be using ether. But the hot air that goes into the intake gets the job done, as I saw. Nevertheless, you nailed it boy.

Lived in the snow belt part of the country,truck didn't want to start ,one of the locals said to put cover over the engine and start a fire with charcoal in a pan under the motor,bingo , after a few minutes the motor warmed up and started up,desperate times call for desperate measures.

Do the glow plugs not work on this tractor its a great way of setting ur tractor on fire the way u did it allways better if doin it this way to have someone hold the heat source or use a touch of easy start . But idget the glow plugs sorted out then u just heat on the key then start it works most times . Ive seen our old 5000 buried in snow and the glow plugs started her no issue i like ur little fiat we had a 650 a few years ago . Hardy little tractors

Wow great battery

You have a new subscriber from Romania ;)

Ford best tractors

this is what they do in India to start reluctant diesel pumps. We here and in Russia, build a small campfire under the oil pan. This fire can't be so large as to coke out the oil, in Russia it is so cold that coking out the oil is not a worry. However here in the New Knighted States we usually use ether. Knowing how to start with ether without destroying the injection pump is critical. Do not spray and then quit with ether still in the cylinders, or you could have a misfire kicking back ruining the engine. Ether works good if you know this.

Very good I like this vedio

Nice stuff dude. Keep it up!

Yeah !!!!! véry good job my friend !!! haha old but strong tractor !!! see you later , Jojo

Not to smart lighting that fire of yours right under the battery. you don't even want to experience a battery acid explosion or what the acid will do to you.

Anyone who's drives his tractor over to get on his tractor is a friend of mine!

Bravo Dave 👏

Excellent

Good

Dave77 Merry Christmas

I love 💘ford 😍❤ great tractors

Üstüne bir branda örtseydin iyi olurdu

Yeaaah.. Clever.. Fire next to the battery.. What else...

Hehe.. 0 grader :D :D Det ser man på snøen.

If my tractor was that hard to start I would sell it.

Aqui no Brasil e no tranco memo

Good..

Either destroys Diesel's, don't use, they will get reliance on it every time you will have to use it

soak a rag with gas, do not light, lay wet rag over air intake, it will start right up

Why don,t u use the thermo start...Turn the key the other way, glow and start

Wow! That was like caveman technology, ug, no fire inside, put fire inside. When it works it works, pretty scary though.

Like watching paint dry !

Super

In selender hitter plug is using 20 mnt on key and then start it

How about starting fluid?

Ateş yerine parfüm balata spreyi sıksaydın daha rahat çalışırdı

This Traktor have a Heat starter for this wether

For once - someone starting a diesel the right way..Instead of squirting ether in to it. Congrats sir.

Finance one

Cold start, Russia-style. ;)

That's a great job! Where did you learn that trick?

That looks like an excellent method to burning down a tractor! When the oil soaked anything catches, you won’t be able to throw enough snow to put it out. I think you are a RU-vid crazy.

Trebuie sa montezi o bujie incandescentă neapărat, ajuta mult! Si e usor

NİCE VİDEO.....

Was there lots of smoke?

Hey cool videos. From which country do you come?

Which is the place Pleas reply

Why not put a block heater on it ?

Which country

Nice job done But this long self....... will give u only couple of tries, battry ill b soaked out

Why does this tractor take more time to start ?

You better mount new glow plugs. Just glow and iT starts immediatly. This a very stupid way to start, it will catch fire one day

Try ether ! It’s safer .

อยู่ได้ยังไงมีแต่น้ำแข็งไม่หนาวหรือครับ😯

Seems you don't know your tractor. Put the hand gaslever on full gas, then push the little knob on the injector pump(there where the gas pedal and lever are pulling), then start. The tractor starts easyly and fast when you do this.

and that's how you burn diesel fuel for nothing

Хороший Аккум , столико крутил )

yeah I would say she's a bit cold

Which place

Why didn't you just use the glow plugs??

My brother what country is this

No cold start button on injector pump?

Hi there, where are u from, man? I am asking this question being a fellow farmer from other side of planet

अच्छा है

Maybe this was asked before but why not get your thermo-start working?

Ballsy, i have no clue how that work or even helped like that. In ANY diesel engine the minimum combustion chamber temp is 500° but something worked.

Waw

وشي طبيعي الجو بارد ونسبة الاحتراق قليل يجب ان يكون هناك سخان على فلتر الهواء او عند البخاخ

1974 или 1966 ?

Cum de pornește așa greu tractorul?
