Using a small engine to start a larger engine, which is then used to start an even larger engine, is particularly entertaining for me. It reminds me of the scene in King of the Hill when Hank takes out a can of WD40 to spray a sticky door knob, but the lid is stuck on, so he takes out a smaller can of WD40 to spray the lid of the larger can of WD40, and then uses the larger can of WD40 on the door knob. Great stuff.

A good tip when lapping valves into their seats is to put a light spring between the valve head and the guide. This means you can stop ever few turns, let the spring lift the valve off the seat and dribble a little bit of kerosene around the valve, this carries the grinding compound back into the lapping zone. A proper valve grinding power tool, like Black and Decker used to make, is not rotary but oscillating .

Great Video Matt. Again. Chop Saw was classic Matt. You might consider a bolt or something in the forklift fork in case the chain wants to slip off the end. I had that happen once. It sucked. I built a metal box that slips over the end of the fork, drop a 1/2" pin through to keep it in place then welded a 2" ball on for moving trailers around, but also works great for wrapping chains over when using it as a crane/hoist. Just a thought.

I am really surprised that the pony motor started that easy, not to mention that it ran great, and the was ingenious to use that saw as a starting tool, and then to have the diesel engine to start up and actually run good, so happy things worked out for you Matt, looks like it might turn out being a great functional grader to your collection 👍👍👍🍮🍮🍮😃😃😃

Amazing at how the old stuff never wants to die. 2 decades ago we carried 2 giant batteries into a field and within 20 minutes had an old D6 from the 1960's running that had been sitting for a least 5 years. I have been hooked ever since on these old machines, big or small. Great video and the best part is that you saved one from the scrap man. Once these old beasts are gone they're gone forever. Keep up the great work.

The ones with a good pony motor, you take a rope and a gallon of gas and go get them started in midwinter!

Using the saw to start the pony engine was a stroke of genius! How many times do you think you would have had to yank that rope if you hadn't come up with that one? I mean, especially since the plug wires were crossed and you didn't know it. It was a real MacGyver moment. That's the reason guys like me watch your show religiously!
