What diameter are your motor and belt pulley? I’m setting one up just like yours with a 2U motor(cat). I have 2 pulleys now. One is 18 inches and the other one is 23. The motor runs at 1200 rpm. Thanks! You gave me the inspiration to build one. Hope I don’t regret it

Man alive. That’s the first time I’ve heard a pony engine start a big diesel in years. I rebuilt an old D-9 Cat engine back in the late seventies that ran a big drill in a strip mine. I think it was in Middlesbrough Kentucky, but I’m not sure of that. Way too many years and miles. That sawmill looks like a real man’s job. Hard work.

I know this video is a couple few years old. We started it just a few days ago. Took a little more coaxing than usual, had to bleed the injection pump a little, but otherwise fired right up. The mill itself is quite old and a little tired at this point. We have a black chestnut tree that produced so much fruit a couple years ago that it broke and fell down. We hope to run the mill at least one more to time to cut that up. Thank you for your comments

elvad426 Yes sir, I sure enjoyed watching that video and it’s nice watching another old man like I am who wears suspenders like I do. What kind of diesel is that, it looks to be a four cylinder but I can’t recognize it. I built myself a mill a couple of years ago, nothing like that, I built it mostly out of so stuff I had laying around the place here. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.

That setup is sweet, I can't believe how much torque it's making idling. If I had a setup like that on my property I would clean everything up and rebuild what's needed and then replace any wood in the frame etc and paint it and I bet this mill would last another hundred years.

I think he wanted that side just sawed to be down. It is more stable on the carriage with the flat side down. It's a long way around when turning by hand. So he just pulls it toward him and pushes it back.

But, they wont blow up as long as the governor is functioning properly. My operators manual clearly states to crank the big engine while the pony is running up against the governor.
@lewiemcneely91437 жыл бұрын
True. I always warmed up the pony,motor while drinking a cup of coffee. Just let it idle and turn the big motor with the compression off. When the coffee was gone I got serious. The pony was limbered up by then and all was well.

It has been a long time since I saw a Cat with a hand cranked pony motor. I ran a six cylinder Cat in an ice making factory in the late 1960s. I know of more than one arm broken by people trying to start the pony motor the wrong way. Watching the start up took me back to my youth and days of working in the ice factory.
