- When I picked up the Bristol 25 bulldozer last month, I noticed this old Power Pony ride on tractor with a built in homemade firewood saw bench so I offered to get it running for the owner.
Very cool machine.

I lost 3 fingers just watching this
I leaned back when he got the saw going lol.
@@tyronepearson5327 so did I lmao
That's not dangerous at all.
You must have missed the end.
LMAO
Came for the amputation, stayed for the tetanus. That thing is cool. I want one.
this has to be the most unsafe machine ive seen this year lol.
I thought the same thing.. that's a loss of a limb just waiting to happen LOL
it's perfect
Buzz saws are very safe. Stupid people use them wrong and loses limbs. No different then any saw
Even the smartest people have accidents. Sheesh1
@@adamgould7061 Hardly need to be 'stupid' to have an accident when there's a metre of totally exposed saw blade, and plenty of potential to trip on something.
Satan must have forgot where he parked his mower.
Hey Marty. Your dont know how much you and your channel have done for me. I always enjoy your content! Love from America. Hope I have the pleasure of shaking your hand someday mate!
Really cool to see the old equipment back up and running again!
All that old stuff needs is tobacco spit and elbow grease then it runs like a dime! Prime example.
This looks like some dodgy as contraption that Wile E. Coyote would order out of the Acme catalogue...
LMAO 😂
Not joking!
I was just waiting for that thing to throw the saw blade a couple of miles. Offset mower deck is a nice touch too. Just needs a vertical chainsaw to trim bushes as you drive past.
Maybe a coffee maker to keep you going
That thing you called a fuel filter is the fuel pump. It uses piston pulses from the crankcase to move a diaphragm to pump fuel. Small engines have been using that method for decades
Maybe once in a lifetime you'll come across macines as quirky as this and you will HAVE try and resurrect them. Well done !!! Great stuff, highly enjoyable, thanks for sharing from an old Yorkshire "Geezer" in Ireland.
You should add a speaker that plays the guitar riff from 'shake hands with danger' every time that thing is operated
Awesome machine Marty.. Back in the day folks did what they had to do to get the job done, instead of running out to buy every little gadget at Lowe's, like so many people do today.
That leaver you are using for the throttle is the choke. That’s why it runs rich when you push it ahead and runs smooth when you pull it back..
« ...She’s a sketchy machine but she seems to go alright » You said it! 😂
So glad to see young guys being DIY Mechanics as us old guys are fading away...
The original Mad Max ( not the hokey remake ) and The Road Warrior were genius Aussie movie making. That saw is probably good to go with a blade sharpening and the tilting table looks well designed.
Got another giggle, thanks Marty :)
You're a really clever bloke.
Love your videos.
When I was 14 on our sheep ,beef farm in waikato .my job was firewood. We had a saw like that behind a 80 hp JD tracktor . I busted 2x blades hitting a gate gudgen. And a t post ingrown in an old tree.. great memory. Love your channel.
The missing air filter does make a difference, it changes the carburettor vacuum which can have widespread effects especially if a vacuum ignition advance is fitted!
"She's a bit of a sketchy machine" is the best quote yet. What a terrifying contraption!
Can you rig it with the mower and the saw going at the same time or do they use the same pulley? I would pay money to see you cheerily walking behind that death trap, sawing wood and mowing the lawn at the same time. The person who made it must have been some sort of mad, rural genius.
Loosely strapping the petrol tank to the top of that mechanical spinning mess was a masterstroke, well in keeping with the rest of the madness.
Yeah it looks really safe with those belts running around your elbow! 😂👍
One belt on the saw, one on the mower and you could mow and trim hedges at the same time.
Iiii8fxxd67888uuyggfcx😏🤔😅😅😜😜😜😏
Everyone should aspire to a Mad Max mower!
you looked surprised when it started , I think so far you have a high success rate
of getting old things started and moving . New stuff is different with computers .
I bought this really cheap from a guy they called “Lefty”
yeah.....3 fingers Lefty.....
@@bigrobnz No hand lefty i think lol
Old No-toes Lefty, I remember him from when I worked in casualty.
He was armless enough
lmao good one
"sketchy" is the understatement of the year. That thing is a dismemberment waiting to happen. LOL
That is a fuel pump that has a diaphragm in it.
👍Crankcase pulse diaphragm pump😂
Yep I figured that out, it was not working
alex b excavTor bro
@@MartyT Yeah, the diaphragm is mostly rock hard after sitting so long.
Probably perished and holed, thats why fuel was coming out weep hole
Pretty cool machine! It looks like they ran it without an air cleaner. So either the carburetor is full of crap, or the engine ingested a lot of dirt. That coupled with the fact the cooling port on the front cover was clogged up. Probably not a lot of hours left in that engine. Pretty cool engineering though.
She's running rich/ still on choke!
That thing is pure Mad Max. I love it
You’re actually a genius. It’s so entertaining to basically see a real life Tony Stark work his magic haha good job man 👍
I watching all.your videos they're very therapeutic
Looks like a contraption my grandad had rigged up on his farm in South America. Good for all sorts of things. Including disposal of one's enemies...but then I've said too much.
I reckon they built this for Mad Max II, but couldn’t get an import clearance!!
LOL
Ha ha
The air was cleaner back in the day, didn’t need a filter🤔
All we needed was something to keep the birds out.
You are joking, of course! I've never seen a Briggs & Stratton engine that didn't use an air filter, unless it was on a Snow Blower!
T
That's brilliant it can still mow too.
Not sure if I would trust that thing, looks like a bad accident just waiting to happen ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
That is some contraption. Sometimes it looks like the choke isn't opening all the way . When they sit for long periods even an impulse pump will not work well. Priming the carb is your best bet. Is that an offset lawnmower or just really big ?
Its an offset mower but the end blade was missing
That fuel pump works off the crankcase vacuum pulse.sometimes the hose running to the crankcase gets a plug just remove and blow out. Common on Kohler engines and all sorts of golf cart engines. 🇨🇦 Craig
I think I'll print out a few pictures of this machine and give them to my insurance agent...
Haha.. I bet he's never seen one of these
LOL nothing says kiwi farmer, like mowing a lawn with a spinning wheel of death right next to your carotid artery. Love these videos Marty, well done.
hahahaha
Was missing two things. Flip flops and a beer.. o and smoking a joint..
@@briandufty1609 two diffent flip flops
@@billr1128 not sure what you mean. J andle is what you wear. Flip is the sting of a fist in your right ear and flop is what happens when u hit the ground. Am I missing sumthin.!.
Burt Munros mower???
I don’t know how you always get away with just adding gas when it comes to the fuel. Lucky bastard. In my experience if there’s a carb it’s gummed up and has to come apart and the tank is always full of rust . 😂
This guy has experience of machines fix right parts for it get to moving forward big saw awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you happy holidays Thanksgiving
10:37 This needs to be your new meme there Marty seriously funny
"What's the gearbox feel like?" *Lurch*
12:45
“Oh my God.”
Marty: puts sunglasses on. 😎
Pull that carb,clean it and lean it up. Running waaay rich. Sounded fantastic for a few seconds when it leaned out running out of gas!
Well spotted, yeah it sounded racy just for a second.
I can just picture the farmer who put this together :)
Yeah, he owned a homestead called, Missing Limbs Farm!
Well done 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
A V-twin engine! That should make some serious power. Looks like it is running quite rich. Most likely the carburetor needs a rebuild. Quite a machine indeed!
This sort of reminds me of the old Garden Mark Squire that has been passed down in our family since the 60's. It has a bucksaw attachment that bolts on the front and drives off of a forward extension of the engine's crankshaft. That old warhorse still mowed, still sawed, and tilled a garden until about 2 yrs ago... Time to rebuild the 1964 8hp Briggs... Parts, that's the hard part.
Man I'd like to see that. You should post a short video walkaround
I call it.... the delimbinator!
Now that is an awesome bit of gear right there 👏 👌
Nice one, you managed to resurrect the death machine.
There was a time when something like that buzzsaw was a huge labor saving device. We laugh now, but there are still a lot of those type saws used today.
I recall one mounted on a Farmall M running on a flat belt pulley on a Farm in the 1960s.
Saw some videos on Russian backcountry farms. They still use similar home made saws powered by their cultivators. Log splitters too.
You know your wife hates you when she sees this, and says, "nice purchase honey!"
A good carburetor might do wonders ! ! See Musty1, in the states, on RUclips, He;s done a bunch of them ! ! ! Fun video..
That's some Mad Max mover saw-combo.
**Gets it to run** It's a Marty Max mower saw-combo now.
God, that thing looks like it's running a gallon a minute!!
Carb needs to be looked at, it's drinking too much fuel.
Our "dads & Grandfathers" made some pretty epic stuff alright.. "OrsumNess"
Marty T is the Kiwi equivalent to Mustie 1.
With the flywheel dust guard looking like that and no air filter, how on earth does this engine still have compression??
I swear, I've seen this mad max, fire wood processor on [youtube] before now, in one of those "backyard machines" inventions type video
A little visit from the Ether Bunny would make that sucker fire right up!!! lol Cool vid as always, I love seeing what you get into.
That's a diaphragm fuel pump that either works off a rod and cam or piston movement and crankcase pressure.
The diaphragm also acted as the body gasket.
Most likely it has dried out and become brittle.
Should be relatively cheap to get drop shipped.
You really should tear that carb apart and give it a good cleaning.
Especially if that tank has old fuel in it.
First thing you should do is take off the carb's float bowl and look for gunk in it and that the float moves freely.
Myself, I'd tear down the carb and completely clean it.
Check the crankcase breather filter.
If it's clogged up that can be the cause of the smoky exhaust.
I never knew Heath Robinson was a Kiwi!
Everyone is saying it's dangerous looking, but it doesn't look like it's designed to be driven around while the saw is running. No more dangerous than any other mill saw at that point.
He’s using the choke as a throttle. Can’t you hear it running super rich? All the smoke is the unburnt fuel. One lever is the choke the other is the throttle.
No the one on the right did nothing, it had been disconnected
Ultimate murders weapon. Segment, then mulch all in one machine.
Given the extreme dodginess of this rig, and the fact you would never want to run it around the kids,
and that the owner probably didnt want to part with it once it was running ...
all that said, would love to see this completely rebuilt, be quite the one off project.
What other tool - brush clearing wise, could you tack onto it? Chainsaw? Chipper?
Nope, not an American tractor. It was made in Kiwi Land. sites.google.com/site/powerponynewzealand/history-of-power-pony Wow, that is one very very dull saw blade.
It's several different hazards in one. It has a gas tank dangling from the top, it'll give you tetanus from 100 yards. And there's a huge unbalanced blade in the back
I laughed out loud when you got out the bailing wire.
Baling and a pair of pliers can fix anything.
......and duct tape
Pump works off of engine vacuum. Blow some air through the fuel line.
In the US around the early 80's they stopped making Lawn tractors with the extra pully for attachments. Too many homeowners were making things own their own and not buying the attachments. I remember my father made a dump trailer with hydraulic tilt from something similar to this, and he also plowed his own garden with a homemade set of disks. Home made human engineering cant be allowed so they stopped making yard tractors and started making plastic Yard Mowers to look like the old tractors.
lmao what are you talking about, not all garden tractors had engines oriented that way, most were horizontal with the crankshaft facing the trans and used a driveshaft. The manufacturers cheaped out and started using vertical shaft engines. They ALL still have a PTO pulley underneath so if you really wanted to attach a 5 foot sawmill blade to the front you could do it pretty easily
She sounded good when it leaned out at 13:55 The carb's too rich. Curious that you didn't blow out the air filter housing since you had an air compressor right there. Anyway, nice job!
i love that machine bit of a heath robinson
Mower seems to leave cut grass only between the wheels. Does the sheet metal outboard right side hide another blade that isn’t working?
Thats right, one drive belt is missing
Who takes the air filter off something that creates saw dust no wonder it doesn't wanna run I have confidence you will succeed
The flywheel guard screen jammed with dust and chips was another good clue there will be a bit of debris sucked in and processed.
Love the videos mate, power pony's are NZ made and I have 7 of them. Great tractors for what they are.
Thanks mate, Yes I didn't realize they were made in NZ till I googled them..
Hard case,
I'd forgotten about the evil Power Pony.
Made in Tauranga, no less...
About as stylish as a Trekka, but they did the job.
Cool.
I looked for one these at home depot and could not find one.
Speed up that engine if the saw doesn't have a whine to it its not running fast enough need speed for clean cut if these saws don't run fast enough they are more dangerous than they normally are it'll want to grab the wood from your hands and possibly pull your fingers hand or arm into the saw . Ran the old belt drive ones on a skid you connected to belt pulley on tractor when growing up cutting lots of fire wood. Get that blade spinning faster so you get higher pitched whine i could tell its to slow by the ring of blade when you are cutting you definitely need to respect these saws they work better on larger logs stay safe keep body parts clear great video
It needs a good carburetor cleaning. And the fuel pump is vacuum operated and the diaphragms inside need replaced
Be a good idea to adjust the valves also. It looks to be a Briggs and Stratton vanguard and those are famous for the valves going out of adjustment.
dave1135 yea that’s a good point too
The fix it all tool. No.8 wire! lol
Man i don't know why i love your channel and your work
You need to hot rod that thing and bring it to the southern states for their lawn mower races! That thing would be lit!!
Man that starter motor is the toughest I have ever seen on a garden tractor. It just kept cranking the engine over again and again.
Maybe a Truck Starter who knows what else they rigged on that Thing 🤣
the thing you thought was a pump is .... its a pulse pump that operates off the engine ruining ... they end up with hard diaphragms and dont work
Is that a twin cylinder? Sounds like its running on only one. With a clean carb and fuel pump it looks ready to go! Thanks for the fun. :-)
Yes its a v twin
That thing is running unbelievably rich. It's why she started revving up as the fuel ran out.
11:00 the smoke is for insect repellent while cutting the lawn lol
"Sketchy" indeed! Looks like there was supposed to be another mower blade off on the right side of the deck, totlaay missing. I guess that "Heath Robenson" is the Kiwi equivalent of "Rube Goldberg" here in the States. LOL That thing is a death trap, but it does seem to work, though the blade seems dull. 'Axe
That's a Ferguson TE20 saw, it's a mark two version, the mark one didn't have a cutting disk guard. I know as I run one off the back of my TED 20
What a machine! The one who designed it has got to be one smart feller! Being that old Marty be careful of flying parts. There's no dead machine that you can't bring back to life Marty, with your friend...😁 Take care my brother. ~Jay~.
Glad to see another collector of the not so fine to many tinkering arts...lol keep up the good workplay...lolol
I was wincing when the cameraman walked directly into the plane of rotation of that blade, and paused there. Talk about flaunting death
Is this something that was sold or did someone make that? It does look terrifying but someone put a lot of thought into making it work right.
The saw part is home made but the power pony tractor was mass produced in New Zealand
Hey Marty glad to see another video from you......you have to star your business fixing all does tractors 🚜 of the farmers araund😁
A little dirt and grass straight into the intake never scored any cylinders.
Fuel pump looks like what you'd see on a Jet Ski. Runs off crankcase vacuum. Probably two one way check valves inside that pump. Diaphragms are likely dried out.
I don't think the Mandalorian would feel safe operating this hell beast.
