Hey Bill. I enjoyed the video, as usual. It takes a smart mechanic, to be able to go through spare parts and pieces and pick out what you need and make it work. I have a lot of older machinery and love to be able to take it apart and fix it. I agree with you, about it being very rewarding, to be able to keep the old machines running. The new machines are not built today, like they were years ago. I have a saying, if you have a machine that has done a good job for years and it finally breaks down, then fix it and use it for many more years. I love having machinery, that’s older than a lot of people that watches it run. 😆😂
Could not agree with you more Bill. It’s not worth throwing away your life to have a high dollar tractor. I appreciate your engineering and thought process. You are the guy who will have fun, be competitive and sleep well without worrying about the overhead. God Bless you and your family.
I love your channel! Id give anything for you to do the ntpa pulling again Bill. I was young watching you in Louisville, KY. I'm older now an I appreciate you for doing what you do. It's not like it was back then. God bless you
Thank You Sir.its easy to comment on your videos.good stuff.to see how you work on the engines and get the ponys you need walk down the track.details on how injectors and pumps are put together an how to get more with less.i like the detail on the videos.the collection of parts and turbos and fittings are impressive. i like hanging on to stuff also it saves a trip to town an the old saying waste not want not.grand parents wasted nothing. they had been there.keepem coming when you get time.
Your videos are definitely worth a comment. This country was built with common sense and ingenuity. How insane it is that the young generation is dependant on someone else. I'm not a puller but started a dairy farm from scratch with nothing new. Everything was used even some nails. It's fun making do with what you have. See you down at the big end lol.
Thanks for showing the water injection. Always enjoy seeing what people have come up with in there own backyard shops. Definitely something to be said about built not bought!
Great video!! Love seeing creative people who can work good with there hands and brain! You never know when you might need a part especially fitting!! Looking forward to the next one and more work on that water injection set up!
I learned plenty about splicing copper tubing as a teenager in the Eighties. We had an old car wash that was always in need of repairs. In the hot rafters of course.
Ya it’s kinda like car racing. Just a money pit!! My grandson has a B Modified . I don’t give too much. I enjoy your videos. Don’t always have to have fancy to have fun!!
You sure have a great collection of parts. Save a lot of money when you don't have to run to town. Especially now days. I find it just amazing the fabrication and work that you do. Take care Bill !!!
Thanks for sharing the details of your water injection, Bill! It'll be interesting to see if the line you completed goes to a distribution tank. I've seen bosses welded on intake manifolds/crossover pipes to hold mist nozzles and brass fittings.
I have a Old coffee can of nuts and bolts that my grandpa passed to my dad and then on to me I can usually find what I need and not have to go to the store :)
I'm glad you are talking about the water injection. I was going to ask about it. Years ago I always heard about two cylinders had some sort of water drip or injection and wanted to possibly add that to my 60 for tractor pulling. I don't know if that was after market came from the factory that way.
Hey Bill, in the beginning it was cubic inches that won in competitions, now it's cubic bucks that wins most of the time. Looking good. Does it increases the boost if you have 2 fins driving it? Just a thought. Refrigeration grade copper is good stuff
Hey Dan! I guess you are asking if 2 intake compressors increases your boost pressure, yes, 2 properly matched turboes used in tandem will increase the boost pressure.
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 I was thinking a little bit different, on the turbo exhaust drive side . The exhaust fan, if you have a bigger blade to turn the turbocharger faster ? More exhaust driving the fan? I don't know how fast a turbo charger spins say for a normal 400 cubic inch engine 1 turbo, like a normal farm tractor.
@@danthurman9076 Hey Dan, Yes, a larger dia. ex. fan would be a way to spin the turbo faster. A more common way to increase turbo rpms and boost pressure is to run a smaller exhaust housing. But increasing boost pressure this way may not increase power as much as you'd think, the smaller ex. housing makes more back pressure so the engine can't flow as much air.
Oh yeah! Check this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KCvJTZQjm9M.htmlsi=Eru9bDueSpnNvKal. Search my channels for more on two bangers.
Kinda like the idea of that was built by me stuff, especially when you ask a question about something and they can't answer it because they didn't build it
I believe I saw this tractor run in the Empire State circuit in Alexander last night? I got pulled by for staging, I'm like I think I know that tractor....
