@@timpike1616 This family of engines has been in service since the 30's. The 2-stroke 710 series is still in production for marine applications. The welded crankcase is only one of the benefits. As for medium speed/medium duty engines these are hands down some of the best. Their downsides are they aren't push button start and require somewhat of skilled maintainers to operate. Thanks for watching!

Thank you sir

@@RIPPERTON That is exactly right and I wish I had used your wording in the video. Thanks for watching!

@@bnkwuptThanks! I agree.

@@JoeVSvolcano hahaha thanks I never would have guessed it myself. If you haven't seen it, check out part 2 on my channel. Thanks for watching!

@@jdp..1716 Thanks for watching. I graduated deck from A&M in 18'. If you spend any time on an ROS ship you're likely to see one. The chief on here could remember when the engines had big coil springs to close the exhaust valves. Good luck at the academy.

@@alcobufff Yes that's fine please just include a link to my channel or something of that nature for credit. Thanks & good luck with your video.

@@FixAndForget Will do! thanks!

@@josephpadula2283 this video is misleading, whenever they loaded it there would be a nice cloud of brown smoke. Oil pouring out port side crane house, and the painful emergency shutdown flap being used to kill it. Was screaming for an overhead to be run on it. Think it was a 6v92. Thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget Knowing about the air cut off flap for shutdown is better than a university diploma to certify you !

@@josephpadula2283 haha yeah I would cringe whenever they (seldomly) shut down the crane. Guess the governor/fuel cutoff solenoid was fried.

Yes sir thanks for watching!

@@nowere4579 I am thankful I still have the opportunity to do so. Thanks for watching!

Wow thanks for this comment. I was shocked at how many people blew up about adding moisture. A vacuum pump can be rented from almost any major auto parts store. Nitrogen and associated manifold, hoses, connections, ect. Can not. Defeats the purpose of the video. Thanks again for watching and the kind words!!

Agreed 100% if you happen to source an a/c manifold to shop air coupler/adapter I've seen someone else mention you should link it!

@@klown7463 will do

@@FixAndForgetturns out you can just remove the yellow hose entirely and thread on a standard female thread to quick connect air (like the one in your video at the end of your air compressor hose) directly onto where you'd normally screw the yellow hose and then you can connect shop air where you'd normally have the yellow hose connected. ruclips.net/video/dS0P6PSCdIA/видео.htmlsi=kgnF_d0AKlmHQgoN

@klown7463 That's great info, thanks man!

South Florida. Could be anything man. Did it seize while running? Did it get water in it?

Diesel-Electric azimuth drive ship. I have more info in the video of all 4 running on my channel. Thanks for watching!

The vast majority can be fixed using this method. Nitrogen is the proper method however, no DIY mechanic is going to have a bottle of it in their garage. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

Thanks

Very cool man. This yard has a good collection of 1930s and 40s equipment still in service. Always great to see. Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for watching! The jet setting will vary by engine depending on condition of piston/rings and crank seal. It is incredibly hard (but not impossible) to get it set right to start up if the crank seal is bad. Always start with the screw nearly closed like maybe 1/2 or 1 turn out max. Super easy to flood. A little push of the tickler and some pulling. Very slowly creep up on it by opening the screw about 1/4 turn every time you pull it off. If you flood it, close the screw completely, pull it a few times and restart process. Let me know if you need anything else and good luck!

Also, this engine design was extremely popular in the 30's. Evinrude, and many other had nearly identical versions. Be sure to confirm yours is a Muncie Neptune.

Yessir! Check out my other videos for more & thanks for watching!

As do I, thanks for watching sir!

Yeah not having coolant really tore this one up. Thanks for watching

Very cool, I believe they are all CATs there now. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I have a few other EMD videos on my channel, check them out & thanks for watching!

I will make another video of them running after rebuild. If you are in a hurry, check out my other videos to see these engines and some of their sisters running. Thanks for watching!

Haha true. Thanks for watching!

Yes, thanks for watching! On a side note, EMD is now owned by Progress Rail, a subsidiary of Caterpillar.

I'm glad to hear MTU still makes limited numbers of replacement 71 series engines for government buyers. I hope to see the 71 series in production at its 100th birthday. Thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget well my folks friend worked in Detroit diesel in 1963 64 the good thing about Detroit diesel all of them except 53 u can turn cam or switch from one side to other make it two stroke n 180 degrees on oil pump ⚙️ gear I got a long block 14 liter with cooper split cage ceramic roller bearings as main bearings I bet noone getting my rpms except a 10 liter

Thanks for watching & the correction!

Just on hours. The 12cyl had 35k hours on the last overhaul and was still fine, we try to do it every 30k just to avoid problems from worn power packs. Thanks for watching!

Always glad to hear the opinion from a railroad worker who works with them, we also respect their resiliency. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! The workmanship of days gone by is incredible. The brass castings on this engine alone are impressive. Even more so is they continued to put style in these mass produced engines like it's solid cast polished aluminum valve covers. Thanks for watching!

Thanks man. I just cranked it up again in March and will be doing some more work on it and making more videos this August. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget Another good example of why we won the war!

Yes all welded construction! I've never spoken to someone who worked at EMD. Where all 3 plants in/around LaGrange? What became of them, I heard when CAT bought them the plant was moved. Thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget Plants 1 and 2 were in La Grange park. Plant 3, where they did the weldments was in Chicago Heights I believe. Never was at plant 3. La Grange was chosen for the location of EMD's plant because limestone bedrock was only a few feet under the ground level. If you could see the size of the machinery you could see how this was a requirement. La Grange park was one of only 2 places in the US where bedrock was on or the near the ground level. Plant one was built in 1935. My dad started working there in 1948 and I worked on the stator motor assembly line in 1964. Went into the Air Force in 1965 for 4 years. Became a tool and die apprentice in 1970 and got a job in the toolroom at EMD in 1980. Thought I had it made for life. Most people stayed till retirement. They had great UAW benefits. All came to a end when interest rates went to 19-20% and the Pen Central went bankrupt and sold off their locomotives for cheap. A two and a half year back log for locomotives disappeared and I got laid off. EMD never recovered. I think they still make the engines at Plant 1 but only have 900 or so people now. There is a great book called On Time by Franklin. M Beck that has the history of EMD until 1948.

Me too. You didn't happen to work for Bouchard, hopefully. Thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget Nope. I worked for Moran. I had another job waiting for me in St Maartin!

@@lowandslow3939 Excellent, the Moran rigs I would see come into Texas were always really nice. Loved the EMD power they had too.

Did you know any of the Dowling family? Worked on Moran for generations.

@@frankherrick1892 I don’t, but I went to high school with a kid with the last name of Dowling in Connecticut in the late 70’s. If memory serves me, he was a real stoner.

I agree, I've worked extensively on Winton/Cleveland engines which became EMD late/after WWII. There are direct resemblances between the two, in fact the newer EMDs became even more simple than their 1930s ancestors. Probably one of very few examples of that happening throughout engine design history. Thanks for watching!

Gotta love it. Thanks for watching!

I've heard the earlier variants had weak points and were failure prone, we have consistently been getting 30k+ hours out of these now. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely agree. There isn't anything about these engines that can go wrong and not be repaired. A rod coming loose and knocking a hole in the crankcase would spell certain death for most others but can be repaired in a day with these. Thanks for watching!

Depends on the plant configuration and load. One 12cyl online just keeping the lights and house load up is about 2,500 gallons a day. Both the big 16s online working hard burns about 14,500 gallons a day. All 4 engines online working hard is considerably more but I don't have those numbers off hand. Thanks for watching!

Wow never thought of that. I will definitely keep that in my "toolbox". Thanks for watching!

I was going to say this too. I served my apprenticeship working on Locomotives ,mainly EMD's, most built in the early 1950's. ' One of the first things were told when starting out on EMD's was to never ever forget that rubber O ring, refered to as the life saver.

@@Mercmad If forgotten you would be back in there in a hurry. Thanks for watching!

I would prefer that over having to crane off the old turbo and have to deal with alignment. Thanks for watching!

They are 645s running the new Eco-packs. 710s and the new 4 stroke engines are still being produced by Progress Rail (Cat). 645 parts are still in production as well. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. The overall design of these engines remains unchanged since the 1930s. They are still in production. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! These engines run the new "eco-pack" sets. I believe they came out about 5 years ago but are still a 2 piece piston design. Thanks for watching!

@@FixAndForget I'll try to find a link to it. Found it! utahrails.net/pdf/EMD_567_History_and_Development_1951.pdf

As someone has said it was Utah Rails. I read it from end to end too. It was fascinating.

@@ThePaulv12 well, I tried to add a link to the PDF in a comment, but I don't see it now.

Thank you sir!

Will do man thanks for watching!

Yes that is correct, all sharing the same crank journal. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching

Thanks Bruce! I'll have to make a quick video of the first startup after overhaul.
