And THAT was why my family ALWAYS covered the exhaust on a tractor (or swather...or any farm equipment that had a motor) with an old metal can of some sort, if we were leaving it sit outside. (95% of the time, we kept those things inside a building when not in use.)
@willhorting5317 or at least tarped with a can over all exhausts and intakes. Maybe an aluminum baking sheet from the dollar store over any important electronics that you can to stop the mice from nesting.
I'm amazed how many people don't at least cover up the exhaust and then wonder why it won't start. If they're too cheap to get the flapper style cover a can will suffice. They are willing to spend thousands in potential engine damage repair just to save a few seconds of putting a can over the exhaust. I would be wary of buying a piece of equipment with an exhaust stack like that.
This is why you put butterfly flap at the top end of the exhaust and keep the rain water ,drit, and other non wounded things . Or buy a bent exhaust pipe at the top of the exhaust
My grandpa and I did this when I was probably 5. Got COVERED in oils and fluids and dirt. I was sitting on his lap when he started it. As soon as it happened we both started laughing and laughing. I'll never forget that moment with him
I was once helping my grandpa carry a bunch of crap out of his attic I had a huge load of paperwork in boxes stacked above my eyes and I couldn't see where I was going. I got outside to where his John Deere 2020 bucket tractor was parked and I wound up tripping on a box my big sister wasnt able to add to the pile apparently. Boxes of papers and myself went absolutely flying. The only thing I could hear was my grandpa's thunderous laughter and as soon as I got over my shock of the fall I joined him in laughing at myself. Rip Harold. You were truly my best friend.
Thank you for sharing that story! There's simply nothing better than those kinds of memories. I was recalling a nice childhood memory of my Dad with my Dad once. He said to me, hang on to those memories, over time they only increase in value.
@@killerrosebudiscool Turbos increase the efficiency of burning fuel, and power output. Farm tractors typically operate at the same RPMs as trucks, and are just gears to lower speed.
@@killerrosebudiscool Fuel economy, more power for a given size tractor, a smaller more powerful tractor can be more useful. Large tractor have place, but lack maneuverability, and are much more expensive. Growing up on a dairy farm the small utility tractors had much more use than large ones.
Most of the time water doesn’t enter the engine, but only the exhaust headers due to how they’re built. You can see that in this example the tractor didn’t burn any water, because it didn’t emit a huge load of white smoke.
You should have been there when we fired up a combine that had been a field ornament for 40 years or so. After cleaning the magneto, we removed all 6 spark plugs, gave it a dose of penetrating oil, and for a half hout or so of hand cranking and using a punch to close all the valves that stuck open, it fired right up. Without ejecting trash from the exhaust.
When I was little, I'd always take the coffee can off the exhaust of his old Farmall tractor. I'd use it for dirt or whatever else a little boy does and my grandpa would always have a conniption. Wasn't until I got older and understood the importance of that rusty old can that I understood why he'd get so mad lol
The best way I have found to pull start a tractor, whether it’s a dead battery or it got run out of fuel, is to pull it with the clutch out. Put it in a high gear and start pulling. As soon as it starts moving the engine starts rotating. Usually only takes a few feet to start. If it was run out of fuel it’ll push the air out of the system. I used to crank it over with the starter while cracking all the fuel lines one at a time until I figured out this method. Ford 4000 3 cyl diesel. 7th gear is what I use.
A tin can was all we needed. Put it in the tool box while working. Parked it on a hill to avoid towing. 3 times as many cylinders as the common 2 bangers.
A friend had a 4020 out back that needed jump started. One day the jump pack wouldn't turn it over, so he had his wife tow him to start it. A big chunk of head gasket stuck out the side of the engine afterward. The open straight pipe filled a cylinder with water. Water doesn't compress.
This machine is a keeper. No computer parts or manufacturers telling you that you can't fix the problem yourself. Take better care of Bessie ( or whatever you named your machine).😅
My dad dumped 5 gallons of trans fluid down a stuck D6 dozer engine. When it broke free and fired up from dragging him it blew up in a D6 geyser! My dad was soaked but the smile on his face was huge that the dozer fired up after a year of work. That was probably 25 years ago but I'll never forget it.
@inthewoods3237 : Wouldn't be surprised. It was probably their father or grandfather's tractor, so now it just sits around barely ever being used or taken care of anymore. Sad, since there are plenty of folks out there that would still regularly use & take much better care of that ole less common & somewhat unique narrow-front JD 4010 diesel with an aftermarket turbo.
Yes, I remember, growing up, Dad would put a coffee can on the stack on the 730 models and sometimes would forget to remove before starting them. You would have to scramble sometimes to avoid getting hit by the airborne can!!
The nice thing about old gas engines is they are low compression and it only takes a little motion to get them to turn over and fire up! We had a ‘57 or earlier Jeep pickup and a slight grade and about 3 feet of roll was all it took to fire it up by engaging the clutch.
@garyeaton5719 : This is an early 1960's JD 4010 diesel tractor with an aftermarket turbo kit installed. No idea what you're babbling on about with gas engined Jeeps.
Man I watch your podcast and your videos. I agree that we all need to eat locally grown meats. The problem is that I along with so many others can't afford the prices from local farmers.
Yes sir, can on the straight pipe exhaust. Also draining the water out after each use. Every time you want to use the tractor carry out a Jerry can of water and fill her up. Can't freeze
2 hints 1 put a can over the exhaust when not in use. 2 Park on a hill, then all you have to do is kick the chock off the tires. No need for another vehicle.
Grandfather had two pld farmall tractors(1940s era) eqch had a hinge flap on the pipe to keep water and all out. Beautiful and durable tractors despite being beat to shit hut ran smoothly
I don’t know if you left it out in the rain or if something else happened. But if it was rain, just put a can over it when you are not using it. We’ve done that for years.
A night cap is well worth the 20 bucks.
5 gallon bucket works also

I love the coffee can look but just get a flapper and be done. It's really not that expensive. Keep excessive water out of the exhaust.
A big stew or soup can on the exhaust was fun to me as a kid cause as soon as the tractor started it would shoot the can straight into the air 20+feet.
Exhaust flappers exist!
So do coffee cans.
@cowboyjc11, you don't need to remember to put the flapper back after running it.
Yes And it's cheap 😂✅
And 45 degree bends. People acting like a coffee can is genius when some simple engineering can correct this much easier.
Flappers noisy!!
That's why the old timers kept a up side down coffee can on the exhaust pipe when it was parked

A coffee can over that straight exhaust takes care of debris getting into the exhaust when not in use.

Sounds like that's got a turbo. Hopefully the water didn't hurt that. Cool tractor!

Fill the cylinder up with water and that’s a good way to bend a connector rod

Great old tracrors. We had one at work we used for mowing and brush hogging, wish they didnt auction it off last year.
As kids we did this every winter when we wore the batteries down lol fun times
Put a #10 can over the top of the pipe
Different kind of pull start than what I was expecting!
expecting a pull cord on the flywheel?
@@krazi77 Yeah I really was😂
And thats why you put a bucket over the exast to keep that from happening and to keep it from seizing the engine

Soup can will eliminate all that and save your engine from freeze thaw cycle in winter.

Oh god, love the sound, I could feel the dirt and smell the oil/gas. Watched this like 10 x.
its pretty simple to put a cap or drill a hole in the exhaust at the turbo so that shit can drain off
Man that thing is running good for been sitting out like that
I disked a s-ton of acres in the early 70's with a 4010. Only difference was it was not a row crop tractor like yours.
Coffee can + rock cures this 😂
Should have put a can over thr exhaust to help stop some of the rubbish and water getting in

First thought I had. Good way to cause some serious damage.

Over 60 years ago My father had a John deer tractor.
I wrote the Second Father now💕💕💕👍🙌👌

Old 5 gal bucket works great
Looked like the timing of that start almost coincided with being right under the pipe coming off the silo. 😊

Might be an idea to add one of these hinged exhaust covers that we see everywhere these days, even if it's not fully vintage

Never drove one of those, but did drive a 4020 a lot.
