I was lucky enough to see a Leyland TL11TH , turbo horizontal being dyno tested after a rebuild. As it was a bare engine the dyno spun it over to start it and it was checked for oil pressure and leaks After four minutes or so the guy running the test indicated he was going to power test the engine. The exhaust was the turbo outlet flange. When the throttle shaft was opened the beast awoke. With a very loud growl and a high pitched whoosh from the turbo, followed by a large cloud of diesel smoke the beast reached set governed speed. It was then pulled down by the dyno till she began to slow and the resulting figure noted. The engine was held at this point for about five minutes, just to prove she was fit for it. 243 horsepower she made and noise she made was epic. When he shut the engine down he said to me, usually as soon as you give it the beans everyone clears off. Frightened of the noise and smoke. On the odd occasion when something goes wrong and the engine runs away, this whole shed is like a ghost town, only me and the engine in the place.

Ball pein hammer for gaskets is the best! So good to see you do that. My Dad showed me that years ago and now I always do it that way. Over a century of wrenching can't be wrong!

Well done. Far too often we old timers forget that some folks don't know what we do automatically. I would say raffle it & let the winner decide what to do with it.

Oh Sir Muck I know how you feel, when I pointed out to someone the oil leak in their engine and it needed to be topped up and then repaired. They said, why put oil in when it's coming out. I rest my case. Keep on Mucking.

I had someone tell me once if the oil is coming out then it doesnt need it 😂😂and he was a engineer officer on sealink 😢

I'm one those guy's that knows nothing about the mechanics of engine's but love watching yt channels of people like yourself and others take things apart and put em together. And at the end of the vid I'm none the wiser. However in this vid I actually understood what you where explaining. It was like basic mechanics for dummies like me. Thanks.

Raffle the old girl Mucker, great video as per usual😊 many years ago I had a 2566 terex dumper have a couple of turbo parties on me😮 main trouble being the semi auto box couldn't get neutral once she reved up, so had to ride it out😂

A brilliant lesson.Brings back memories.

“The turbo is just having its own mega party” 😂😂 love the storey telling 👌🏻

RAFFLE What a great video for explaining what a part does and how it works. Videos like this a godsend to more people than you probably think. More please. 👍

Raffle it , I’ve been witching your u tube for about 3 years and never put a comment to you I am Andrew in Australia love all the content .

The pic u draw of lift pump looked like something from Jetsons 😂

I'm not half terrible as an amateur mechanic, rebuilt a '64 Land Rover (even the engine - whoa!!) on a new frame back in the 90s, do all the maintenance on my Jeep TJ, but yeah - I'm a telephone man, haha! One of the best parts of your channel (aside from the mutual sense of humor we seem to share despite being seperated by an ocean) are these tutorials. I'm always learning something, brother. Wes Pittsburgh

As usual, a right & proper show. Loved it her in Mississippi, USA !!! 🇺🇸👍🎯 Tip o' the Day: On a mechanical fuel pump that leaks oil, the paper gasket can be replaced with a peace of used inner tube out of a lorry tyre.

Raffle it ! Loving the explanation of the lift pump, I have a ford 3000 that won't start, I know naff all about engines - that's why its sitting rusting away in the garden. {I was saddened when you said you'd parted with yours)! For some of us your channel is pure escapism - we are all willing to learn, Keep up the good work ATB Dave

If it goes up for raffle Paul, there will be a cash alternative 🇬🇧🇨🇦

The engine you put in it nothing wrong with a little upgrade I would of done the same thing and keep it looking with the paint job give it a good cleaning an it should look good

Raffle for the dogs!!!!! One day, I'll have me a Major of one persuasion or another - second tractor I ever drove, after the old Dexta.... Did a fair few, and sometimes in depth, repairs on the old bugger too!!!!

Raffle it! Great video. You explained the pump really well. I have struggled trying to tell others how simple stuff works. When you’re turning wrenches at work and 3-4 other guys throwing in nonsense about what it might be. You know the guys who are like “have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?” This really illustrates it for any skill level. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video Mucker , and that major sounds sweet . I reckon it would be a nice project for someone . Maybe raffle it as it is, or do the tin work and sell it. All the best Lord Muck.

I had the pin fall out of the governor linkage in fordson major injection pump and all hell broke loose. It was screaming…. I put it in top gear and dumped the clutch… and the engine didn’t even change note … it just ate the clutch plate… I couldn’t get to the air intake pipe either… so I turned off the fuel rap a ram away… as chunks of glowing exhaust pipe rained down everywhere…. But it survived…

Sounds like fun😂. I had one fill air cleaner bowl with diesel from the small return pipe it had rubbed through once it filled it the engine sucked in the fuel and as you say all hell broke loose she must have reached 10k plus RPM I pulled the stop and ran. But like you said she survived tuff old buggers ( super Majors)

Yes I'm a Carpenter and joiner mucker but I love learning about your content and how to restore Matador cabs 😅😅😅😅 love it brilliant as usual plus I have a 29 yr old hilux surf

Well done, keep up the great content

Raffle But considering I seem to remember you also said any money raised would go to the collies rescue home I'd also say whichever generates the most cash Thanks for the video LM You're explanation on why engines get "addicted" and today's lesson on a rev out not being a "runaway" are brilliant for us enthusiastic amateurs Keep up the good work you absolute legend 👍

Great video Podge. 👍👍🇬🇧

Great explanation, keep up the good work.

Very good video,dad had a super major when I was a young lad and loved the sound of it on tick over, Very quiet tractor and could listen to it all day.raffle it

Raffle Love the basic mechanical videos, this was a great explanation of how the lift pump works.

Thank you. Excellent video.

Great video as always 👍

Much respect ✊ thank you for explaining all the topics you share with us in such clarity 🙂👍

A hell of a job on explaining how a lift pump or a mechanical fuel pump works Mucker I like to see the Major out into her original colors ,your editing is getting real clever and funny as all hell ,well done mate , The more you know ,

Excellent video 😊

Raffle Please, great vid, very informative and well explained (we should have done this at School). Also the Joe Dirt 'It just does!' clip never fails to crack me up

Very educational, Mucker 👌🏼😃

I know the ins and outs but that’s because my father is a mechanic who worked at RFM. I didn’t take that career path rather I took on IT.

Great back to basics video, Kurt. 👍👌 Raffle it.

Great video as always really have a soft for the old super major is on e of those things on my bucket list to own. I thought the raffle you did before went really well before so I’d probably go for that again. Thanks again for the content mucka

Great video.very informative and great chance for none mechanical viewers to see the simple workings of a vital pump. Raffle

Great video - Radfle

The tin work looks very good on that ole Major. Why not give it a sand blast and paint.

Great explanation!! Raffle the super Major. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

I really appreciate this sort of video and hope you'll make some more about the basics, im a tyre man by trade so not great knowledge on engines but, Me and my dad are slowly learning just by trying to attempt the stuff ourselves whenever the old Leyland or Nuffield needs it. Added bonus is that it saves money if done by ourselves.

I had an old Triumph Herald that had a manual leaver on the lift pump a couple of cycles of that to fill the float chamber on a frosty morning really improved the starting. Remember tapping baskets for my motorbike. Thank for letting us know where we can get the marital from.

I don't know how you held it together.. I was laughing like a retard staring at a ferris wheel the entire video! Your facial expressions and the hilarious way you said certain things, your sarcasm was expert level and fucking brilliant!!!

And some of the profits could go to a good cause like the collie dogs. Great video and explaining the workings of certain parts of tractors help people have a great understanding.

Spot on Mucker!

Very informative, I'm fairly confident around old diesels after decades of trying to make a living, one of the strange ones I had was a two tonne dumper hydraulic pump gasket failing and filling the engine oil with hydraulic oil, no drama just splitting logs off the feed and the revs just changed and slowly stopped the engine, filled the whole engine with hydraulic oil. No damage.

Really enjoyed this one Mucker! Raffle all the way 👌🏻

Raffle it, for the dogs ! Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Great entertainment, good explanation of how it works for people. A raffle is probably a good idea as you have a lot of subscribers who may be interested in owning a tractor.

Excellent video Lord Muck :) also would Raffle it and yes information on lift pump very good information to serivce up on matinne up if someone has problems with and look for too! Also excellent explanation 👌 it very well !

Great video. Iv had a few lift pumps fail but haven't had fuel getting into the sump from it. Had a MF 399 with the earlyer injector pump seal go and that filled the sump up with diesel, and the cost of the seal was pennies , also had glow plug leaking. Only way to stop runaway engine is to block the air intake. It's absaluteley insane some of the videos on KZread on runaway engines and how long they go before seizing or goung bang.

Raffle. 😎🚜 . Excellent video!

Raffle it Muck, great explanation on Diesel's genius, it was so simple but so effective, and now we have a government trying to up the tax on diesels and petrols, what a wonderful place we are living in. 🇬🇧

Raffle, Good job Kurt and Puppo, sorry I missed Your live, a bit behind on the vids, but will catch up again, Thank You👌👍🙏🙂

It sounds really good.

Raffle, great video 👌👍

Love this video! More like this please.Raffle!

My god that takes me back to learning about the fuel supply and injection lessons at the army apprentice college at Chepstow nearly 50 years ago - like riding a bike you never forget. As for its disposal - a wipe it down with an oily rag and sell it.

Great video Mucker, the pumps remind me of working on my old for cortina' s all mechanical. You should keep the original patina and raffle it off . Well done Mucker 👍 🔧 🚜

Raffle it off would be my suggestion. Another great video thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Excellent video Mucker and I think you should put it up for Raffle like the other one! Definitely got the message across I think. Fenland Rob

A little light sanding and clear coat 😊

Hi mucker good to see you raffle 😊

Hi Mucker, my father had a 175 with power steering and seals would go and lose power steering. Oil would end up into sump😅 Great show keep the good work

Great video as always Mucka. Whichever would be easier for you but Raffle sounds good 👍

All pretty fundamental stuff Mucker, but I still watched it and enjoyed it! I must have watched it for old times sake having previously been the farm fitter to a fleet of Major's, 5000's and 2 Muir Hill 101's. And for my sins 3 x DB1210 's! All had lift pumps so all had the potential to pick up on leaked diesel, but luckily they didnt! Ain't those little one way valves a b...r to replace in the lift pump though?

Awesome mate

Raffle 👍 enjoyed your MINTY lesson today 👌

Nice video raffle

Raffle it young man! Big tractor collection sale coming up. Pete Marquis is selling off some prime stock. Cheffins are the auctioneers.

Raffle Cracking video mucks so well explained Retired Steeplejack that drives a scammell explorer ow and with a collie 🤠

Raffel, Good vidio, a bit like blue p[eter without the sticky back plastic. You got the basics nailed.

Raffle as is, but if you were to keep it then preserve the patena! Brilliant teaching by the way...

Another great video Mucker very interesting . I reckon you should put old major up for a raffle👍🚜😊

Have you seen runaway locomotives? I run one three miles running on its lube oil, to get it where all the pandemonium wouldn’t bother folks nearby, and we had to let it run until it locked up….it was a mess….

I have always used the edge of a spanner to tap out gaskets, as that is way I was taught way back in the mid to late 1960's while at school. I don't think they teach such things in schools now.

👍👍great tutorial and explanation...had a Mack piston type lift/ transfer pump on the side of the Bosch 7100 inj pump, fill the crankcase with fuel .. thankfully caught,but it made a mess...mechanic/ driver/operator/laborer speaking here...not that anyone should give a f@#k.. thanks for another video feller... your editing is f@#$&n superb🤣🤣..👍👍🍺🍻🤘👊

Raffle off mucca for those lovely collies GreAt vid again

Almost forgot your explanations reminded me of a few things to add. I had one fuel leak from the injector pump to the crankcase through that seal on a 95 Ford L8000 with a 8.3 Cummins. The turbo that must have been good and didn't leak. I have a diesel that if it does a runaway the normal shutdown will stop it because it stops the air. It is an old John Deere 125 skid steer with an Isuzu diesel the only diesel I have seen like that.

Good video Muck raffle the ol beauty

Raffle. when i was a kid, our MF 699 would give a symptom of out of diesel at half tank. Cause.. inlet valve in lift pump became unseated, solution... centre punch the fucker back in place. keep up the good content mate.

Raffle Great explaining on the lift pump M'lod. And shake hands with danger😂 Cheers, Mike

Very informative, great video once again Mucker. Just on the diesel runaway, last night I was thinking maybe you put it high gear, let the clutch out then brake. Although from some of the videos I've seen not even sure that would work.

@LordMuck

With an engine running at twice its design speed, it just slips the clutch

Raffle it. Keep up the clear 'how it works' videos, every day is a school day IMHO.

That was very helpful and really informative! If you fancy doing "how the clutch works" ... trying to diagnose my David Brown 990 Implematic which is playing up. Been out today messing with it, tried the adjustments on pedal ... but would be very helpful haha!! 😁

Excellent video as always mucka and i would definitely raffle

Oh Lord, It Pains Me to Know You were Here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Hundred and Fifty Miles North of Me and I did Not have the Opportunity to Shake Your Hand. That is a Crime against Humanity, The Geneva Convention and the Rest of the HOW DARE YOU’s,?.😂😂 you are a True Gentleman & Scholar, I enjoyed All of it Mucker’

Lord Muck My suggestion is raffle, I’ll have ticket(s) Wouldn’t paint, but ?one of those preservation oils, like Owatrol, As a kid I have long history with majors, first drove one at age 6, certainly good for building biceps!! Your videos are excellent, content, presentation, knowledge and fun. Keep her lit Mf

Hi kurt I had job when i was at school and drove 3 fordson majors two we're majors and one was a super major it had white mudguards a auto pick up hitch and was a better tractor is this true or is my memory playing tricks as it was over 40 years ago

Beautiful Super Major

Great video as always mucker i reckon raffle her very handy video because i bought a power major last month and pretty sure has a replacement engine runs beautifully and has an fl head is that something to do with later engines?because my power major is 1960 and pretty sure block stamp is 64 and i know power majors had finished production by that point 👍🏻

Keep up good work do own thing mucker

Raffle and leave her in her working clothes ! Great video Lord muck !

I think if it had more paint on the bonnet then I’d say preserve it, but it would look great restored. Raffle is a good idea though 👍🏻

always remember that farmer andy “properjob” guy on scrapheap challenge and his rolls Royce runaway a good few years back ,he managed to save it by smothering the air intake , but bugger the engine even then

Good video Kurt 👍 from a financial point of view reckon its got to be a raffle 🤔 amount of subscribers versus limited views on an auction site, gotta be whats best for the Collies 👌

We’ve all been there with a Stanley blade a done it one day and thought to my self a really shouldn’t be cutting towards myself 2 seconds later the blade was in my finger 😂😂😂
