Congratulations on using the correct method to start these engines! That pony is in fantastic condition as well! Thank you for sharing!

Ohhh man, that 730 is just Cherry! Beautifully restored tractor! 👍💪🚜

Beautiful tractor with a beautiful sound. Love it. Thank you

I,ve got an 830, green dash 820 and a 630. When starting the 830 and 820 I like to roll them over with no compression and no fuel till oil pressure builds for 10 seconds or more if it is the first start of the year. Also when shutting them down pull the decompression lever at the end and let them roll to a natural stop. Easier on the flywheel splines and you use the entire ring gear. 👍

Was that the smoke detector I heard? Love them old diesels. When I start the boat engines, it chases the mosquitoes away until we can get rolling. 😂 Good job!

I have to admit I had to spend too much time on a two-cylinder John Deere to to have much love for them, however they did have some good ideas but I must tell you that is a beautiful tractor you have, and I'm quite sure you're very proud of it as you should be! The only time I ever had anything to do with a Pony engine start was on caterpillar equipment, anyway again a beautiful tractor you have

Here in the UK it's called a Donkey engine!

Ok I gotta ask never had anything with a pony motor. Do you have to use this every time even if you shut it off for an hour or less?

What year is that tractor?

So that’s all huh
