This is such a breathe of fresh air! So many things I see on KZread are LS swapping into everything, it's getting pretty boring ... watching a guy have fun working on his tractor is awesome! Looking forward to part 2! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

After watching you l think you really enjoy mechanics and tractor pulling. A good way to have fun.

My favorite tractor of all time 8970, love the old tractors , use to cut with taarup double chop an Massey 178 multi power years ago, from Lapis, living in Florida now for the last 40 years, love you channell

Love that Tractor what a beast 👍

Love to see my fellow countrymen doing well on KZread, love the videos and yes we dont get enough sun in Northern Ireland lol good luck and hope big blue does really well in the competition and will look forward to part 2

Great Video Alastair. What a change from the workshop for you. Really appreciated your descriptive steps preparing your tractor. Good luck and best wishes for a successful performance up the hill. Looking forward to your next Vid.

That was a great watch, cracking work!

That machine pulled that trailer up the hill like it wasn’t even there, and the sound was class. Have to see it in person to appreciate it

Another good video. A lot of work and time invested there

Good looking tractor and sounds really good as well. Great job from the Texas 🇺🇸

Louis is a great fella, he showed me around your place one day I was down lifting crusher parts

Sure enjoyed this video. Varied content makes it nice.

Brilliant as always 👍🙏

Very interesting video really enjoyed watching it and learning about different ways to get the most out of an engine, big blue is an animal would love to have something similar someday!

Serious tractor 😍, the wrong shoes for the dance floor 😂😂

Michel at DES is a gentleman and will help you with anything . I had a great experience with him and got me out of trouble

yer pal chuckling at the end... makes all the money you spent well worth it! To this viewer anyway! Cheers from Santa Cruz California

I’ve bought four Ceat tyres from JB tyres. Two sets of front tyres for loader tractors. Wearing very well, seem to be good tyres

nice work

Great content your welder is a very Skilled man.

Before you changed turbo, you were getting high egt. This would more likely be because when you adjust pump to max it gets wasteful due to the dwell/ amount of rotation you inject fuel for, anything more than 32-34 degrees. Another thing to understand is turbo surge with bigger turbo......if the pressure gets to high for a given flow the gas stalls and resonates. This is one reason to compound turbos.

Just started watching u brilliant videos

Hey mate good luck on the pull, love your channel

That adapter plate could do with port matching as there's a fair bit of obstruction there .

Nice job! Those Powerstar units are savage. Any potential issues with increased HP on that gearbox? Are you going to hang a front weight off it?

@allistairc123

Great story the previous owner seen my videos and reached out to me to tell me he had the original weights so I use them for the 11.5 ton class. The gearbox is good for just over 600 hp in standard form then you can increase pack pressure a little for even more power. Very strong box

More horsepower more better!!

Could probably calibrate the cluch make it a bit more sharp

Is the clutch, gearbox problem, a calibration problem?

when is part 2 coming out

Egt temp sensor needs to be before turbo. Exhaust mainfold for a good reading. Its around 200 to 300 deg lower at downpipe

egt probe goes before the turbo

Why does this turbo spool up way earlier on this engine then when it’s fitted to a om606 Mercedes

@allistairc123

Yes because the engine has 7.5 litres of displacement to spin the turbo

I hate that I got to this video so late but that 22hsg is not going to be a good match it’s going to give up a ton of torque. The hx50 and 55 series turbos are not the most robust. I prefer the borg Warner s300 and s400 stuff. I don’t know how many cubes that ford is to make a good recommendation but if you want to email me the details I can probably get you onto something that will really thump.

@@allistairc123 yeah with that 22housing it probably will live fine. The 16 and smaller is when we started sending the turbines out the tailpipes on the 5.9 dodges. A 13mm p pump can easily run an s472 if you don't mind turning it 3000rpm. I have several of them running 800-900 hp on 6076 Deere engines with nothing but fire rings done to stock engines. The Ford guy I worked with here we wound up having to get custom studs made for it to keep the head on as they don't have as strong a bolts as the Deere's. That is probably where you will be headed next if you get it under a hard pull with 50psi. 🙂 I don't think you have an intercooler but adding one would help turbo life and power. water injection would help too, easyil another 100hp.
