Dave, years ago when a ford's on major wouldn't start, no ether at hand, we used lighting paper and put it on the air intake, turned the key/lever, and it started, it warmed the fuel, love your videos, no gloves, on at all, will eventually destroy your hands, Michael, Ireland [Eire]

Just found your channel Dave, subscribed 👍 I had no doubt the old 990 would fire up, fantastic tractors. I spread lime & slag on the fields for a contractor back in the mid 70s, he had both the 990 & 996, hated the 996 but loved the 990. The Fordson will be a lot more agro I'm sure, never liked that petrol/TVO engine, we dumped it out & fitted a Perkins P6 into ours from an old Seddon truck, fabulous engines. Look forward to your video nevertheless, your good lady has a very steady hand👍👍

Adam, welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching and subscribing, and glad you enjoyed the video! I must call a guy today that may have a P6 laying about, id love to save that tractor. A lot of guys had told me how easy it would start, but it had to be seen to be believed. More to follow soon!

I think that ya should try to air up the tires. Unblock the rear tires., or some people call them tires & rims. AKA wheels to Dave. Awesome job I love knowing that there's still other people out there that care about trying to revive.& Recover old types of vehicles.&etc. That needs to be saved from the outside elements.,or nature will take it over faster than some folks would want to believe that it would.,or could do such A type of thing as we'll to. I say go for it on that tractor.& The other right behind it to.

@davesworkshop2714 Жыл бұрын

Thanks John. I was thinking the same. Must throw the compressor in the back and go over there. We do plan to try and get it moving for a video, and to see if it can help get it saved. We're also working on the major behind it. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching 🙂

I only squirt ether when it’s cranking shooting it in non-cranking means it probably dumping in one cylinder. It seems like a very good engine for the way the rest of it looks.

@davesworkshop2714 Жыл бұрын

Good point John, the tip was broken off the can so I found it a big awkward to handle 😂. Gave a little more than I would have liked too. A dangerous thing in the wrong hands! The tractor overall is actually surprising good, the roof mustn't have collapsed that long ago.
