Buzz Bomb Pony video

[quote="Dizzel"]You’ll have to forgive the altered start procedure. My compression jumped up a lot after a days pushing. That brought the pony clutch issue up.

Nice clear video. I noticed the oil pressure came up rather slowly compared to what it does on my D4. Is that due to the clutch slippage? On my D4 it jumps up just within a couple of seconds of turning the main engine. Of course my D47u does not have the convenient operator control system as on your D6. 😉 On the D4 I sit on the left track to start the pony and have a hand mirror so I can check the oil pressure before hitting the governor.

Again, great video and nice sounding engine. Just love to hear those pony motors wind up.

Thanks for posting this Dizzel, good job. I wager you don't realize how hooked you've become on the old school yellow iron. I can see the symptoms of yellow fever showing already! Have you starting thinking about keeping that buzz-bomb now? Are you enjoying showing people how the starting engine works? That will lead to "Heck; any idiot can start a 'dozer with direct electric start, this takes knowledge." The ACMOC strain of yellow fever will progress to the point that you will realize that brand new 'dozer operators have no idea what a direct drive transmission or a steering clutch is, much less a starting engine!
😆
Thanks again,
Craig

Ha! Craig, There are some as you mentioned that cant even start an electric start diesel! They activate the glow plugs or not even at all for two seconds on a cold engine and just sit there and crank away.

The pony sounds like a two stroke.
