Comments: - - Remember my father back in the late fifties had a D9 when he had his bulldozer business. He could sure work that machine
Imagine that gnarly sounding donkey engine on a go kart or lawn/mid mower! It would be AND sound friggin NUTS!!!
That old timer with the cane is re living some memories for sure i bet he could run it better than anyone involved with this video
I love all your old iron. It reminds me of my Grandfather he started running iron when cable cat was new technology. Thank you
Thanks a lot! Never saw a "low loader. I grew up around a D2. We called the "donkey start" a "pony motor," which had a rope starter. What a sight and sound of this beast getting going. It reminds me of the B-29 (et. al.) rotary engines starting up on the tarmac.
Very cool vid, thanks for posting. Loved hearing that diesel slowly come to life. Beautiful sound. Well done- clearly you guys know what you're doing. Stay safe, keep the dirt moving.
The main diesel engine is so big it takes a 2 cylinder engine (pony motor) just to get it to fire up and run !! This videos audio doesn't even begin to tell just how loud that little pony motor is !!! First time I heard one fire up I was like WTF HOLY SHIT LOL
