Tractor start with Shotgun Cartirage

[HuskerSeaofRed]

Pregnant lady knew that if she didn't get it started she was putting the harness on, again.

[HuskerSeaofRed]

I do the same with my toaster.

[spoter66615]

thats cool but it would have been cooler if it started driving away after it started hahaha

[Tjita1]

A thought from a Swede: If you had one of these tractors here in Sweden, would that be reason enough to buy shotgun ammunition in a gun store? Considering the fact that some stores won't even sell you 9mm ammo if it says .38 in the license (or if it's the other way around, I don't know guns that well)...

[frackcha]

@Tjita1 i dont know for sure, but i think you have to use blanks, you dont want to contaminate the combustion chamber with shot, that would cause all sorts of problems... :D

[Tjita1]

@frackcha Well, here you need to be an active competitor to get a license for a pellet gun with an exit speed above 200 m/s, so I doubt they would let you buy blanks either...

[4crevis]

How cruel, you shot the tractor! Ha ha ha!

[525jake]

red necks these day

[zonkozonko]

Do you remove the lead shot from the cartridge? or does it go in and melt down?

[GBPaddling]

Keep pressing 2 for a laugh.........

[viper1966]

Watch Flight of the Phoenix, both the old one and new one

[kevvywevvywoo]

The Marshall has a decompress valve lifter that runs around a track on the flywheel. This allows you to start with a handle as it releases after a few turns. There are alignment marks for the cartridge start.

[IPIxGh0sTxIGI]

now thats the redneck way to hotwire a tractor!!!

[Racingcar199]

Thats weird



[spentacle]

If you don't see how it works, look up "Coffman engine starter" on Wikipedia

[855h0le]

I use a revolver to start mine.. I have a six cylinder to start my v6. I just pull back the hammer and BANG! it starts! -Seriously- The woman just makes the touch!

[gaspowerrules]

thats not funny she pregnagent

[superjezz]

@gaspowerrules Doesn't matter a fuck mate, She's pregnant not made of glass.

[gaspowerrules]

@superjezz im aware of tht im just sayin its not good to put stress on a women and child...its unhealthy thats all

[superjezz]

@gaspowerrules If she is stressed why is she smiling??.

[gaspowerrules]

@superjezz i never said she is stressed i just said it not good

[superjezz]

@gaspowerrules Why not? she is only pregnant......

[gaspowerrules]

@superjezz are u being sarcastic..or are u not thinkin properly .........she pregnent which mean she has a child inside her.....stress on babys can cause mental retardation and other stuff

[superjezz]

@gaspowerrules That little pop wont stress out a kid in ya guts...... But the way you are carrying on about this you must have been extremely stressed as a foetus, seeing as it causes so much mental retardation and 'stuff'. Please reply you know you want to have the last say...

[MrMixedGas]

@gaspowerrules she knew what she was getting her self into when she picked up that hammer and told what to do!! she knew what was going to happen!

[gaspowerrules]

@MrMixedGas i must agree she did it to her self

[munteanuioan]

they used this type of start in ww2 airplane like the Typhoon.if u missed 2 u can go boom cuz there is too many fuel in cilinders.but what the hell u wont live 1000 years anyway L::)))))

[XELA2T]

This is not a stupid system, as long as you crank the piston in a suitable position before "fireing" it up. Is it a hot bulb engine?

I remember a kind like this emergency start for aircraft engines.

I also remember some strange thing like this for emergency start on marine auxiliar diesels that worked with a piece of celluloid film you had to lite.

No joke, does anyone remember?

Nice traktor, nice to see you having fun

[TerryToon17]

@XELA2T You are right, I have seen a Canberra bomber aircraft start using the same system.

[johneastmond]

Of course having the women folk do it is more entertaining!

[505197]

I was under the impression that similar starting systems use on air planes was refered to as a Coffman cartridge. At the Indianapolis 500 some decades past they required self starting capabilites, so the genius Harry Miller outfitted his car with a cartridge starting system and eleminated the need for a starter and battery in his car.

[MyDavid1960]

nice..i worked on a farm in england.back in the 60s..he had an old field marshall.we would leave it idling,and go to lunch and when we got back it had bonced across the yard...lol...nice..

[Bidone1967]

Look like a Lands Bulldog. Nice Video.

[jayeastanglia]

its a field marshall

[briggs5sboy]

Hey they have one of these at rollag. It reminds me of a Lanz Bulldog...

[dodgeboy06]

Hey caterpillarnut, what are you talking about Russian's stole it, what design? The English built that tractor not the Russians.

[caterpillarnut]

I wasn't talking about the Field-Marshall. I was referring to how the Russians cloned the Caterpillar Sixty, which is a tracked tractor, and the GAZ AA, which was a clone of the ford AA truck.

[fangus503]

why does it need a shotgun primer?

[gregmw1]

It don't "need" one. But it is more fun if you have one.

[fangus503]

how does it work?

[gregmw1]

see the third comment for a run down.

[justinbimmerman]

I retract that statement after watching again. Could be

[justinbimmerman]

used a shotgun primer?... no way that was the full cartridge.

[dustinwarne]

do youy own this tractor if so or a freand i whold like for you to come to our annual tractor if you want to it is in cambridge ohio. please contact me at my page dustinwarne.

[gregmw1]

Sorry not mine. And it is in New Zealand.

[rossa351]

sereies 2

[fyllefinken]

POS American shit tractor needs to start like that.

Russian tractor is by far better.

[taylortownmayor]

The Field Marshall is British.

[gregmw1]

Russia makes tractors?

[artgoat]

Belarus tractors are russian. Well, Georgian, anyway.

[mrspivvy]

the tractor in the clip is like 60 yrs old, you think something turned out under stalin was better?

[HipHopRobbie19]

my dad has an orange one there called field marshalls series 1 2 3,a and hav 2 cylindersand are really lound wen going upo hills

[Scruffywelder]

1 cylinder (about 15 litre, I think). Pull like absolute heroes...

[sspat1976]

That tractor isn't American, we build better tractors then anyone.

[caterpillarnut]

If Russian tractors are so much better, howcome they stole the design of the Caterpillar Sixty, an AMERICAN tractor? Look up the Stalinets S-60 if you want proof. Or the GAZ AA trucks, which were clones of the Ford AA trucks. And if Russian tractors are so superior (obviously not since the country was a smoldering shithole since the Bolshevik revolution), why did they buy John Deere model D tractors by the thousands?

[markthreemillion]

its because of people like you that the world hates americans .....

[azrael8585]

hey man, it's your fault???...lol. Where's this idiot from???

All you did was point out the obvious.

Russians, always writing history NO ONE remembers...LOL!!!

[NipkowDisk]

I remember seeing one of these in Lynden, Washington some years back- way cool. That same tractor had a special accessory for preheating the Diesel fuel on cold days- it held a cigarette underneath something obscured from view, possibly near the fuel filter (try to market something like that today)...!

Great to see this- thank you for posting it!

[nzmax]

There is 2 ways to start a Field Marshall. Both ways use smouldering paper which acts like a glow plug. 1,set the low compression runner to the 4th groove on the flywheel and crank by hand, it drops onto full compression itself on the 4th crank and starts. 2, set the low compression to the 1st groove on flywheel and fire the cartridge which pushes the piston back on half compression. When flywheel has done 1 revolution it drops onto full compression and goes.

[GaaraHunter101]

They use to start old airplanes that way too.

[richlandfirefighter]

what waas that big pop????

[racernate02]

Now I know where the term "shotgun start" came from. Very cool!

[bangwezl]

Isn't this also called a "Coffman" (Kaufman)starter?

[mrspivvy]

yes, same thing.

[mrspivvy]

wouldnt that put a lot of stress on the piston/crank?

[pigma123]

You mean the stress caused by the raised pressure from the exhaust gases in the closed space within the exhaust pipe and the "lid" from the tin box ?

I do not think so, because in comparison with the forces on the crank-shaft from the cylinder and connecting-rod during running of the engine, I am quite convinced that the pressure above is negligible.

The tin was quite light ( only about 100 grammes) and only loose placed on top of the pipe.

[mrspivvy]

no, I meant using a cartridge starter. its going to make a bigger bang than normal diesel combustion

[pigma123]

I have experienced this type of start myself about 35-40 years ago when one of my brothers had this type of tractor in a farm in Sweden !

( The tractor itself was a quite strong and reliable one.)

I remember that we put an empty tin box on top of the exhaust pipe and from the starting exhaust pressure it flew upwards "many,many" meters !

[douro20]

Had the same thing happen to me trying to crank over a friend's John Deere 'D' because I forgot to take the can off (I couldn't get it to fire).

[DaBucklessYooper]

Thats almost as fun as feeding hot dogs through the compressor side of the turbo on something like a Cummins ISX.

[mrspivvy]

ROFL!!!

[asp61]

LoL, you're a retard, like all my friends. Good One !

[douro20]

There is a cartridge starter attached to the side of the cylinder head. One end of it is open into the engine cylinder. A 12-gauge cartridge is inserted into the breech of the starter, the cap is tightly installed and the pin struck with a hammer with the piston at the top of the engine's compression stroke. The blast ignites the fuel and starts the engine.

[son8god8damn]

@douro20 ya but where does the shots go from the shell or is it like a blank shell

[douro20]

@son8god8damn

It is a blank...if you put shot in there it would destroy it.

[Fireheart528]

@douro20 How in the world do yeh shut the motor down? A key, perhaps?

[douro20]

@Fireheart528

Like any diesel tractor, you pull a lever to shut off the fuel.

[gunny426plymouth]

@douro20 Like old plane engines, if you've seen flight of the Phoenix you'll know what I mean.

[allenjanoch]

how dos it start it that way

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

now that was FIRING awesome!!!!!
