This takes me right back to my childhood, when the thresher set came to the next door farm. I could listen to this all day. Thanks for uploading. Classic!
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
I had a crawler like it . When came time to sell it at auction , I was to give it a cold start . I`d run out of starter papers . An old guy stepped out from the crowd and had a big draw on a rollie cigarette and screwed it in . Worked a treat .
When it's underway, it really sounds wonderful. The trick with the threaded flywheel, to build up momentum before compression is genius (Says the man who's crank started his Citroen ID: Not THAT easy!)
kinda like the old massey ferguson or farmall ... side cranks are always nice, minimizes the odds of getting ran over, and it did happen in the day with front crankers, fergys what not
You're absolutely right Walter. I remember,as a child, when the tractor sat ticking over, driving the threshing machine, The right hand pulley, as you view it, driving the belt, turned anti-clockwise.
Correct! first marshalls (3 speed) ran ANTI clockwise Then to get 6 speeds they put in an xtra countershaft & ran engine CLOCKWISE! ( or you got 6 reverse & 2 forward) all crawlers & 6 speed were same ,first tractors were 30 HP then by improving air admission they got 12 hp extra! this overloaded the piston pin(gudgeon) which was then fitted with needle roller bearing the first (3 speeds) were a great tractor but the pinion drive to the "bull wheel" cog in the dif should be REGULARLY replaced as they tended to wear & drop a tooth Which rotated with the bull wheel & split the gear case as it had no clearance! OH yeah start with a SPECIAL 12 ga shot gun shell NOT a n ordinary cartridge! (yes some nuts try!) A fun machine sounds cute but BEWARE the chimney can start FIRES!
