I used to run an old pony start D8H Cat dozer and I'd always run the pony at idle, turning the diesel over with the compression off with no fuel while I drank some coffee. After the coffee was done I'd rev the pony, kick the compression on and lay the fuel to it. It'd pick up a cylinder at a time till all kicked in and then I'd idle the pony down and turn the fuel off and shut it off. I never did run it dry. Never had any problems either. GOOD FOR YOU!
Never failed if they were running even close to right. With the exhaust heating the intake air, their coolant heating the whole engine and the cranking limbering up the oil and getting circulation going it couldn't miss. Might take a while but it had to work. Glow plugs worked fine if you had good batteries but the newer ones...........I just don't know. I drove a haul truck (V-8, 510 horse) that even if you plugged it in (3 or 4 heaters) it still took an unreal amount of spinning for it to fire off. Keep a spare starter I guess.@@jonelsonster
Congrats on both motors starting! I bet you guys would love a vent hood or hose over exhaust so you could run them a little longer for tuning and adjusting things, smoke is a pain but beats working out in cold, we never had a shop on the farm.
Glad to see the little one running, can’t wait to see more on the 830 too. I’m almost 16 and have a 70 propane Deere and a model b. Would love to have a diesel Deere, but have to finish building my car first. Priorities I guess
Excellent video :) got John Deere tractor R pony motor and Desiel to also smoke show Lol! I remember in 1992 on Home Farm in machinery shed the 1978 International 724 B loader Desiel fuel motor tractor motor needed rebuild total and fuel injection pump plus injectors to it smoke so bad at low idle 750 to 1500 RPM and 1600 to 2250 RPM clean out any cold or hot starts ! Way to much but soon got fix it super 👌 fine!
Yes, Deere was the king (and some might say still is). I've never operated a 4020, but we have a 3020 that we've owned since the early 90s and it's still going strong. And we also have a 4240 that is rock solid. Very dependable.
Very nice work my friend. I was not aware that Jon deer made a tractorR with a pony motor on it. My parents had an A-R. and G. and a B. I used them on dad’s fields. Never had the R with a pony motor Sonya’s gate work. I’m looking forward to see more of your videos.
Surprised to see how clean that pony motor is. Great you were able to get it running. From what I heard from other pony motors it really sounds pretty good.
Ya'll should have opened the door as soon as ya'll climbed down of the beast. She sounds really good no main bearing noise. Yes a tooling around the neighborhood is now required.
Thanks! I noticed in the JD manual it specifically says to screw the cap down. And they corrected that statement in a bulletin..i didn't know. Do you happen to know which service bulletin number?
@@jonelsonster Because of the hill around here I always run my 820 with probably close to a gallon of extra oil in it, if not it'll lose oil pressure going up the steep hills.
Yeah, I'm glad you got both engines up and running. Now I guess you'll have to download any updates from Deere. Make sure the engine computer's can communicate with the transmission computers. 😅
Thanks! I need to make another video because we've tuned the carb and it runs a lot smoother now. Diesel engine still smoked like a chimney on startup, but we will throw some injector cleaner in it and see it it helps.
Good job!!! I have enjoyed watching the series on the model R. It sounds like the big engine is only running on one cylinder. I would also assume that is the source of the excessive white smoke due to the un-burnt fuel.
Yes. You can hear it missing and then firing when the engine revs up (11:35 mark in the video). I'm guessing a dirty injector? But we will probably try getting clean fuel and filters and see what that does before we tear into the injectors.
@@jonelsonster and @oldsoulfarms1200 All JD 2 cylinder tractors sound like they're skipping because of the crankshaft design. Most 4-cycle 2 cylinder engines have both pistons going up and down at the same time with valve timing that makes one cyl fire while the other is on intake. Making the firing once every 360 degrees. Smooth, even firing. However JD made their cranks to alternate the piston movement. Hence you get #1 to fire... then in one stroke (180 degrees) # 2 fires. Now there is another 360 degrees of rotation before the next firing cycle waiting for # 1 to go thru intake and compression as #2 is going thru exhaust and intake.
@@jonelsonster getting all the air bled out is difficult but paramount because there’s no fuel return back to the tank unlike an 830. Air in the fuel can blow out the delivery valve gaskets and cause a miss, sometimes even allowing fuel to leak into the crankcase. A dirty injector could also be the culprit. Low compression too. However any two cylinder diesel should crack off immediately if injection system is fully bled, injection system is in good condition, compression is present, and ambient temp is above 40F. Definitely check out the fuel filters and verify there’s no air intrusion. Also verify that the transfer pump has its check ball and spring, without it zero fuel pressure can be made. Some people temporarily remove the ball and spring in order to better gravity bleed the filters.
The red is for off-road I'm pretty sure it's a different mix because it's for construction equipment too and don't have the extra smog juice to burn too .Ask your reliable fuel supplier for a sheet on mix profile off-road diesel specs ...
I opened it after I was done and it cleared up. But it is about 5 degrees outside, so we try not to leave it open longer than needed. Otherwise it lets the heat out.
Run it against compression without fuel for a couple of minutes, then give it fuel and it will start right up. You need to get the heat into it, but adding fuel prematurely cools the charge
Typically that's what I would do. But in this case I was more concerned about seeing if the pony motor would run not necessarily the big diesel engine. Here is a video I made a few years ago showing the starting procedure per the JD manual: ua-cam.com/video/yRb-WoeTBmY/v-deo.htmlsi=dT-61D79-kLkAJXf
A page called farms girls is using y'all's videos. Seen them on a tractor page and a Facebook reel. Their name is in the lower left corner of the videos.
Thanks for the tip. Kinda lame people take from others and try to pass it off as their own. I'm not sure how to keep that from happening. But maybe I'll just look at it as a complement... You know the old saying: imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
The pony motor seems to be a two-stroke unit, yet you checked the oil in the sump beforehand? What kind of gasoline does the pony motor use. Two-stroke mix or just gas?
It seems to have fixed itself.😉 And I think it is just the clutch disks sticking and vibrating and rattling after sitting unused for 20+ years. It isn't making any noise anymore and engages much easier now, after a few starting cycles.
Yes. We got the 830 home, but not running yet. Next week's video will show some of the issues we've run into. Nothing big, but it does show down progress. Especially when my time to work on it is limited. My full time job gets busy this time of year. But hopefully this weekend I can go up to my dad's farm and get it going.
Need to add some ventilation to the shop. It’s a little foggy in there. Great to see the R and the pony motor work. Is this a second R that you guys have? What about the yellow (Industrial) R ?
Yes, anything to keep my from getting choked out! And yes, I bought the yellow industrial 830. Next week's video is about the 830-I and some of the issues I've already found. We did haul it home before the snow fell, but I've been busy with family stuff and my regular job and have not had a chance to get it started yet. But hopefully this weekend I can find time to go up to my dad's farm and get it going.
I'm sure the injectors could have an issue. We have not dug into it that deep yet. For a while it was only fitting on 1 cylinder... So still a bit of work to do. Also, this is still old 20 year old fuel and old filters. We will get that all changed out and see if that changes up the smoking. All in due time.
One other thing diesels are able to burn kerosene/ jet fuel -but it doesn't have the lubricating properties for the fuel pumps and injectors they have to be hardened to last a while . But if you add a quart of two stroke to less than 5 gal of kerosene should run ok if nervous add two quarts oil to 5gal,
While they will burn it, they don't like to start on it. Once running then they will do ok burning a lot of low quality fuels. I don't think we'll try kerosene just because it is a lot more expensive than diesel.
There’s no better sound than a pony cranking over a diesel engine, I’ve sworn none of my diesel’s will have the ponies removed and replaced with electric conversions!
With a pony motor, as long as the pony starts and runs, you're pretty much guaranteed to get the big engine started. Even in cold. Not the case with a battery start.
Yep the old timers would fill the gas tank, start the engine and go do other things or maybe just have coffee. By the time the pony ran out of gas it’d run long enough to to warm the big engine and they’d throw a splash of gas in fire it up get the big engine going!
I’ve thought about doing it myself but mine are all tucked away for the winter and as I type this it’s -6 degrees and the feels like temp is -28 🥶 so if you try it I’ll just take your word for it! 😂

It is a horizontally opposed two cylinder flathead engine. But it's still just a normal 4 stroke. So it just takes regular gas
