I felt pretty good about it firing off ok. I've had tractors setting with a LOT of water down 'em and they fired up ok. The big thing is how long they sit that way. Some machines have weep holes that keep them drained too. That minimizes the amount that goes in and just sits.
Hello Wendell , great video. I keep a coffee can over mine myself. If you get enough water in the cylinders it will hydrostatic lock of course because water will not compress. I am glad it fired right off!
Yes, too much water in a cylinder sure will hydro-lock it Rob. The long term effect is devastating though. I recently picked up a 430 Case with this identical 188D engine that sat for close to 20 years with water in it.....yep, total rebuild coming on that one.
Yessir Mr Wendell, Mrs Tractor man 44 is so lucky to have such a Great man as you, you can fix and fabricate anything out of scrap. You sir are Genius Tell the misses to make you a homemade apple cobbler with 3 scoops of home made ice cream.
Oh man....she makes apple pies every Thanksgiving and they are to DIE for Tom !! My oldest daughter is the one that makes the home made ice cream. And it sure goes down good with the pie.
It's a ritual for me....shut down for the day and cover 'em right then !! Plastics will deteriorate with sunlight, so on smaller pipes I use the soda cans because they last for ever it seems. Most everything else I use the propane cans because they are so thick and heavy. Bean cans will rust through because the lip holds water. That reminds me, I have to swing back by to see what you found on your A.
That’s a great idea buddy I always cover the pipe with a can if the tractor is seating outside I did the same thing with my big trucks I hated starting trucks after it rain without the stacks not covered especially if you had the chrome all polished and the black soot run down the stack made a big mess. That’s my story for the day you guys have a great week
Hi, Wendell. I keep my Ford Jubilee with the loader in a lower open shed. It has an underslung exhaust which is what it came with from the factory. I still put a can on the end of the tailpipe to prevent mice from scrambling through and building a nest in a place I won't find.
If you are in a situation where they are ran daily it's not a big deal. But sometimes my machines can sit for well over 2 or 3 years at a time Dave !! Thanks for the visit mon ami.
@@tractorman4461 Ho boy, I can understand since you have a fleet of Tractors and I can Understand your wife too trying to convince to sell some of them too 🤣👍👍Be Well Sir Cheers !!
@@tractorman4461This looks like a Truly OUTSTANDING plan Sir and have a great Sunday too My Friend !!! ( Now I'm currently planning how I'm going to fix my oil pan drain plug on my toyota!!!) at 374,000 km, combine with my burned brain and my lack of attention that it was yesterday that led me to this!!! LOL Cheers!!!
Yessir...they'll start ok most of the time but the big worry for me is how long it sits without being used. I bet the black water shower didn't make you too happy. LOL. Take care and don't work too hard !!
I sure was hoping it was going to fire up. I just didn't know for sure how much rain we'd had in the meantime. I thought it might sputter just a little at least. But I was happy she lit off quick and easy Leonard. Btw, the Missus says age is just a number and hers is unlisted !! (-;
Flippers tractor man. Get you some flippers. I bought a box at an auction once for 3 dollars. It had a whole bunch of different sizes of flippers in it.
I have a few with them on ''em. Not too many. But if I were to come across a pile like you did, I'd go with that too !! I don't think I ever actually bought one though. I think the Missus says I squeak when I walk because I'm so tight. LOL
Now the brace is more of a 'preventative' deal just to keep it from going backwards a bit while healing up from the latest damage. LOL. THAT's another story that's not been told yet. I'm just starting therapy on it this coming week. Two weeks ago though, it was pretty rough shape. I hope your back gets back in shape before the summers hard work arrives Danny.
wind can also blow a flapper up and allow water to get in the exhaust. We have a Autistic Grandson who will remove the exhaust can's and throw them in the trash can. So I split the bottom portion of the can and use a hose clamp that I tighten with a wrench. I also place the cylinder caps from old Lp and oxygen bottles on the exhaust. There have been thousands of engines ruined because of rain water getting into the exhaust.
All good ideas Randall !! Oxygen bottle caps ain't gonna move !! My neighbor lady's young grandson did the same thing to her old Allis B years ago. Froze and busted a hole in the block. She let me haul it off, so now it's up here rusting down. LOL
Agreed. They sit for many months at a time and usually fire right off. I've got the same 188D out of a 430 utility on the engine stand now. Water sat in it for many years.
My father in law left his tractor muffler uncovered. He started it and had too much water in the cylinders. The ruined the engine. I like to use a glass jar over the muffler.
Hydro-lock can bend a rod in the right situation for sure Jeff... and of course we all know what happens to water in the winter !! A lot of guys throw a 5 gallon bucket over the pipes. I'm thinking glass would be fine too until that ONE time you forget it when you fire it up !! Then you better be ready to DUCK !! LOL
would you believe an engine can lock up in 1 day . I left the hood on my 77 ford f-150 with v8 ( engine is 351-M) . unclicked. sometimes because to open it. You always had to slam down on the hood first. or sit on or something on that order, "then," I could click it open with the manual grill rod. Anyway I must of left it unclicked ( not shut all the way) and a storm overnight blew the hood open . So the engine got wet. To my surprise , the next day It would not turn over . I had to use a breaker bar on the balance wheel crankshaft bolt, to break it back loose. Then it was back to normal, & nothing more became of it, locking up.
Man, that's rough !! Strange things happen all the time with machinery I can tell you that. I have an 85 F250 parts truck with the 351 four speed in it. My daily driver is an 85 F250 with 460 4 wd. I put a one ton dually flatbed on it years ago. All good trucks.
Hey Wendell I forgot to ask you if I watch one of your videos on the tv I can’t find a way to give you a thumbs up or comment but if I go to the phone and give the thumbs up does that still give you the credit in your channel I have asked other RUclipsrs put they never answer back I Knew my buddy would set me straight take care my friend
Good evening Tom. As far as I know, no matter what device you click the thumbs up button on records it to youtube and tags you in the lineup for similar videos. Make sense...?? Have a relaxing evening my friend.
Oh man, you better believe it Neil. I'd do it on purpose on occasion just to make the kids laugh when they were little !! Those big jugs in the old JD's pack a whallop of pressure don't they.
I 😊😊 like 2 use a metal coffee can W a 5 gallon bucket over the exhaust pipe and take a peace ✌ 😊 of rope and tie it down so the wind won't move it off and the air intake should be done the same way water will get in the oil bath air cleaner the same way then U have 2 take the oil cup off the air cleaner and pour out 😮😮 it's no good W water in it wash and wipe out and put clean motor oil again fill the oil cup 2 level put on and tighten 😊😊 OMG 4 6 2O24
Yessir Clarence, all good tips for sure. I hate it when water gets in the oil bath. I have an old Ford 800 that I soldered a dozen pin holes in. Water had sat in it for so long it rusted through many years ago. I ruined an Allis B engine because the pipe just fit INSIDE the manifold and though I had the pipe covered, water ran down the outside of the pipe and filled the engine. Stuck it HARD !!
👍 Another great video Thanks You and the Misses . 👍👍
Thanks Tony for stopping in buiddy !! I wasn't gonna sleep good until I got the chance to fire it up to be sure all was ok.
Another good preventative maintenance lesson 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Heck, I'm learning a lot of other tricks used by other viewers that are pretty good too !! Thanks for the visit today Tony.
Glad the water stayed out Wendell 😁👍

That's a good warning, we all need a reminder like this one once in a while!!!
It's been a long time since I've had one blow off like this. But with the propane tank it WILL take a tornado I think.
That’s a real good tip. A lot better than having to rebuild an engine……CHEERS
A lot less costly too !! Hahahaha. Remember I'm frugal....actually I'm quite the cheapskate !!

Everything is in the process...I had to laugh on your answer to the missus question. Thxs for the vids!
One thing for sure, a fellow has to stay on his toes dealing with her David !! LOL Thank YOU for watching buddy.

Yes a MASTER at work, turning scrap into usable Treasures. THAT'S Tractor man 44
Good Evening Tom. Heck yeah, as cheap as the Missus forces me to be I try to save every penny I can. (-;
Lookin good
A little rusty, but she lit the fire quick. Glad to see that for sure.

Well Terry I can tell you from experience if a mouse can get in, it WILL build a nest there !!

My 580b has a straight exhaust off the muffler, and a rain cap. A hacksaw and a $10 rain cap would be an easy peace of mind Tractorman44!
Yelp I’ve started are 4020 and got covered in black water have a great week

Great Wendell first shot old girl fire up 🆙. I news that because I’m older them you Wendell . 😊

That's one of the best running 580b backhoe with a 188 d engine
Agreed. They sit for many months at a time and usually fire right off. I've got the same 188D out of a 430 utility on the engine stand now. Water sat in it for many years.
Another great video. I do have a 188D engine for sale
What area of the country are you in anyway. I may consider that over the planned rebuild. I'm in the St Louis Mo area.
Great video! How'd you cut that propane cylinder?
I chuck the neck in the vice and use a handheld bandsaw. Ya gotta make sure there's NO propane in though. (-;

That is definitely some scammer. How would I find that on Facebook
