You know what guys everybody has their way of doing it you guys can disagree all you want but if it works go with it even if it isn't the correct way there's no reason to rip the guy and tell him he's been doing it wrong for all these years have a little respect.

I own and run one just like her. Great machine. Thanks for the video. I’d like to know where I can get a starter for my pony. Mine is hand crank

I see you still haven't learned the correct starting procedure for the diesel engine. Old dogs and new tricks, I guess.

Just Subscribed. Back in the early 70's I operated a 3TD7 with a cable unit and a rake blade. Stacking and burning timber behind a D7E with a Cutter Blade. We have dozer video on our channel.

As warm as it is, why do you need ether?

It's an old engine..Will start without ether but this way is much less stressful on all parts especially the Pony

@@hanks3597 Using either would be more stressful on the main engine because of pre ignitionThe whole idea of the pony motor was to do away with the need of starting aids in cold weather. I agree with Kramer and the others as to the correct starting procedure. I learnt to operate dozers 54 yrs ago on a D8 8R which had the same starting procedure, am still operating dozers full-time 54 yrs later.

Throttle should be in the off or closed position when starting! No fuel should be going into the cylinders while cranking UNTIL ready to start the diesel! NO need for either!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The engine must be turned over on compression to build up heat in the cylinders for it to fire up!

@@hanks3597 Sorry Hank, Rome K/G is right. Adding fuel before the engine is warmed up only serves to wash down the cylinders . If you had been doing it correctly for the past 35 years, you probably wouldn't need ether. I don't recall ever having to use ether to start one of these engines. The pony engine is there to warm up the diesel engine, that's why they share the same coolant. Not hard on it at all to crank the diesel engine until it is ready to fire. The compression release is only used if the pony engine can't turn the big engine over easily, as in very cold weather. Enjoyed seeing (and hearing) one of these old girls running!

Nice video. You explain things very well. I like this pony motor set up better than others I have seen. I think I could run and operate this dozer now but I would ad OROPS first and a good seat belt!
