Cool! Our scout camp just recently acquired a Deuce & 1/2, she won’t fire up, so we’re going to take the injection pump apart, everything else checks out. Thanks for showing this old machine!
Don’t need to do that change over like that ran 18 and 24 when you feel she’s warm enough just open the throttle and flip her over then shut the gas off otherwise you end up losing your gas from all the shaking around when your working . Loved the old 24 cable blade and all .
I am 18 years old and live on a farm. i am just out of high school, and i didn't know the starting procedure for my td9 thank you for showing the way to start the td9. i have 4 other tractors from the 50s thats i have bought and fixed since i was 12. I got the td9 from my dad he wanted to scrap it and i offered him a price for it he said if i can get it to run i could have it, its been sitting for 40 years and it needs some work but i take it one step at a time and i got it to run on starting fluid the only missing part is a carburetor looking for one. Its a 1953 td9 crawler with the 335 engine not the 350 like the 1956 and later td9s. My plan is after the td9 runs and drives, use it to pull logs for fire wood and mine has a lowder can use it to move the logs around, buying a 4 bottom 16 inch plow and a 14 or a 16 foot disk for it disk and plow both will be international.
It really bothers me seeing thinks like old crawlers or tractors even cars and trucks be scrapped because that's one less around and a piece of history being destroyed.
Yeah it seems like they would. Some folks say to switch it back to gas for a min or two when you shut it down in order to clean off the plugs. I can’t seem to figure out that switch over sequence and it always just ends up shutting down so I’ve kind of stopped doing it. despite that, she starts up fairly easily.
@@ZackOfAllTrades Seems like the risk of switching it back to gas would be a lot higher than the risk of fouling up some plugs. Do that one wrong and you get to buy a new motor. 😂
There is a secondary combustion chamber where the spark plug lives. There is a third valve in the head that is open while in gasoline mode and shuts when you trip it over on diesel. The extra combustion chamber also reduces the compression ratio. It is very important than when you kill the engine that you have it tripped to diesel. If not the valves hang open and can warp. Expensive lesson to learn.
I worked around some old John Deere diesel tractors that used a gasoline starter engine but hadn't seen an IH. Pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.
Actually helped refurb one of those years ago. Had a bucket on the front and dug a pond with it! TD-9 Skid shovel

Sounds awesome. Good luck with it. Deuce & 1/2s are cool!
Zack is Back!! Another great video!
Yeah man!!

Excellent video man!
That same engine was in some McCormick farm tractors.
The w9 tractor

Fantastic video!
Hey thanks a bunch. Fun to make/show :)
These old crawlers did a good job.
My Dad owns a 1956 TD9 Dozer and its a pretty cool machine. Needs a turbo installed and then it would be a pretty decent machine
They never really needed the turbo they have lots of power, the turbos like steroids, and it makes it even more powerful.
A cool piece of information that I will never use, but nevertheless enjoyed intensely.
Lol, man, thanks for that!
It has a holt blade 👍
Ran a Farmall tractor for an hour before I figured that out!
Lol which part?
It's crazy that the plugs don't instantly foul up with diesel coke. Any idea if they're shrouded or maybe some sort of odd design?

@@victorriceroni8455 What a completely crazy system. It's impressive that it works so well.
New subscriber brother God bless
Great to have you, Jay!
Wow, just wow!
That’s what I said!
Well that was cool.. never seen one
Yeah I hadn’t either before being exposed to the TD9. it’s a really cool concept
It would have been amazing (at least to some of us) had your fuel dip stick been one from a Herc 🤣
Do you have any idea how many bananas that would cost me to pry one from it's owner's hands?!? lol
@@ZackOfAllTrades I do 🤣
Least always called them that
Ole split motor
UD 14 engine.
done that dozens and dozens of times on a TD 14A
