thank you Mika. I have used a Coleman gas stove to heat Deutz tractors on the farm here in western Manitoba but have never dared to use a wood fire. Now I use a couple of 200 watt magnetic heaters on the oil pan and the factory plenum heater warming the heads. It is still an effort to get worn out diesels started when it is -30C.
Paljon helpompi ja kätevämpi konsti on pistää peltilaatikkoon hiekkaa ja siihen kaataa denaturoitua spriitä, eli suomeksi tenttua ja se vaikka kyseisen fergun alle. Ei tartte noeta koko masinaa. Ennen käytettiin jpa kuorma-autojen hytissä samanlaista lämmityslaitetta jo auton oma vaikka rikkoontui.
Joo, semmonen maasepän tekemä hengenvaarallisen näköinen suurteholinko👍 kyllä siinä karvalakki läpättäis päässä, ku iso propelli pyöris selän takana. Ja saattas muutama lumihiutale mennä takin kauluksestaki sisään😅❄️
Where I used to live in the Canadian north we used to use propane ‘Tiger torches’ with a length of stove pipe with an elbow on the end pointed upwards towards the (all metal) engine. The torch and open flame was kept safely away from the vehicle with the heat blown through the pipe directed right up into the engine compartment. One of my friends was nicknamed ‘Stove Pipe Dave’ because he’d go around in the cold and get peoples engines heated up in this manner if they needed.
Want to be minus 30° outside boy. You're in a cold state. That's a good idea though that will throw it out. It should start within a couple of minutes. Thank you!. You should still put a plow on that thing. It would plow with chains on the back tires thank you.
Small block Chevy? Needs a gear reduction starter. Tons of choices. If it’s a 168 tooth flywheel look up a starter for a 1998 K1500 5.7 Silverado. Old Carquest number was (and may still work) 6449s. Should crank it a lot better.
Would it not be easier to use easy start , with a diesel i used to use lighted rag and hold it on air intake , i owned 2 of those need one with a gear box reduction box
Lämpeni ne koneet silläkin kun vedet oli yöksi laskettu pois, ja aamulla kuumat vedet sisään. Luulisi että halkeaisi lohkot ihan samoin mitä veden jäätyessä
Cool! Is it a diesel V8? Or petrol? I had to do such a preheating once in Poland, as we don't get such cold winters anymore :( It was -15C after a -20C night, and I had to start a diesel car with all the glow plugs burned out. I used a gas camping gas stove over a small gas cartridge. Lit it up and slided under the oil pan for about an hour. After that time a came out with the battery warmed up inside and with a gas torch that I placed near the inlet to the intake manifold (removed the big air tube coming from the intercooler before that). It started almost no problem, I think 20-30 minutes preheating would also be enough in such conditions, but it was the first time I ever tried it so I wanted to be sure it starts :)
I'm not sure which is more dangerous. Putting a V8 engine in a little Fergie or lighting a fire under it. Maybe a bigger fire would be the healthy option.
@@LindholmMika Can your borrow us your Fergussion for Bavarian Demonstrations, you know? This traktor will have the show! It´s just an Joke! But a V8 in a Fergusson is always rarely! Sorry, about my English, i hope you unterstand me? If, not, it is cool to talk to a cool Guy!
@@Lakewiew Kaille ei ihan vitsi auennu? Tässähän lämmitetään pian startattavaa V8 -moottoria, jolloin "väärin sytytetyn" nuotion päästöhiukkanen on hyttysenpaska valtameressä.
C'mon, don't they sell engine block heaters in Finland...? Have one installed in my '71 K5's 350 that sees occasional all year around usage; I'd NEVER crank it up in so low temps without it plugged in. IMO to lit up a fire underneath an engine that's third world or Siberia behaviour...
... mutta ihan oikeasti, en ole tiennyt että bensavehkeitä kestää tuolleen lämmitellä. Onnistuisikohan tuo myös autoissa. Pienellä toholla lämmittäisi. Isäukko joskus muinoin (80 luku) dieselmersua toholla öljypohjaa lämmitteli. Mutta olen ajatellut nykybensa-autoissa, että ne ruopeavat vähintäänkin palamaan
