well hello welcome back to the channel this is Walker Farms that's where white tractors and red
toys play together with that said I've got some sweet and exciting news for you guys you have not
heard already um this tractor 1979 last big bud built I think was 1992. and there is going to be
new big buds being made isn't that awesome so big equipment company they're in Havre Montana they
are the original big bud company through a number of Unfortunate Events they had the restructure
Rebrand after bankruptcies and whatnot and all kinds of crazy things that happen that ended the
production of these babies got them into big equipment company we're all now they're back
in the big bud business again they have been restoring directors like this rebuilding them
repowering them as they come in Old machines they take and repurpose and put them back out in the
field again but this time they're starting fresh let me tell you guys I'm excited it's going to be
awesome but it's gonna be a while before we get our fingers on one of them machines so uh I think
we're gonna have to stick with this girl which is still a really good tractor but I think it's time
we do a little bit of Maintenance to it it's been a while but it probably should have its injectors
looked at as well as the other big bud this the kta 525 they're they're they're a very easy to
access part that can destroy an engine if they fail so I think we should rip the injectors out of
these bad boys get them sent off to get checked make sure they flow properly and everything's
correct and we'll put them back in and there's one less thing to be worried about when you're in the
field running with uh thousands of Acres ahead of you that needs seated so let's get to work no
foreign [Music]
take the Breather off get access to these covers these are the valve covers so I'm going to take
these off on our sides all the rocker arms and the injector and there's no jake brake on these
engines but it'd be under there if it was there I'm gonna take that off [Music] a little dirty
foreign [Music]
number one so this is your rocker arm or the rack they call it push rods push up on
the end of these rockers this is your injector rocker I believe this is your intake and this
is your exhaust the only reason I say that is because this one's right above the exhaust port
um so I got to take this whole rocker assembly off I think I've got the yeah right here
foreign
it's a good idea after you've opened up something like this and done some work to change the oil the
tractor but this tractor is due for an oil change anyway so it'll work out just great
so I'm going to take the assembly now every time I take one of these off I'll put them on
a table in the order that came off the tractor that way because Parts like to wear evenly and
when there's two pieces of metal on each other if you take it and swap with a different one you put
them against each other it'll create a new wear surface that might reduce the lifespan of the
machine as well as just the adjustment all these these have all been adjusted though they probably
should be adjusted again after I do this but if I take them off keep them where they should be
that way when we put it back together again nothing should be thrown off so let's take it off
if I want to push rod up
and put that push rod back in there and then the injector push rod came up too and I'll
put that back in there too okay okay I guess I do need to pull off that injector push rod
so there's two bolts that hold the injector retainer on I believe that's what's called take
those two out and then I really need an injector puller I gotta look and see if we've got one
if not this might be a little tricky but if we do that'll come out real easy if not
I'm gonna have to use a slide hammer and some pry bars and just be really
gentle and careful and hopefully try to get that injector pop out let's try it
and there's the injector retainer smells absolutely fantastic oh yeah nothing like breaking
open in a part of an engine that hasn't seen daylight in oil pretty amazing petroleum Aromas
rise up outside of that for many of those that might be wondering this is a Cummins engine it's
a 19 liter they call it the kta 19 or 1150 cubic inch it's a big engine uh it's definitely old it's
archaic it was designed in the late 60s and 70s and uh well it's a Workhorse it's these engines if
taken care of but known to get 15 to 20 000 hours on them in an AG application full of dust and all
that uh environmental conditions you're probably looking more like 10 to 15 000 hours before you
have to do a an overhaul so but they put out good power they're pretty efficient engines they're not
necessarily the most environmentally friendly but for what we're doing they're a good match
for this tractor and the cheapest thing we can keep it right now someday this might not be the
engine that drives this tractor but for now we're happy to run this thing they sound amazing too
so before I try anything I'm just gonna go ahead and put a put a wrench or a what they call it a
crowbarra on here just to see how do you know if I get underneath that thing oh you know what there's
no lip to even get under there so I've been trying for a while now bought every tool Under the Sun
I do not have a puller that works on this the way this injector is there's a tiny little lip on here
but I did have the idea what if I put a snap ring around that little lip one of these doohickeys
Snapper remover and that'll give me a Knuffle lip to then put the bar on here I got a piece of flat
iron on here's a spacer so I can pry on and I just slightly popped with my finger and pushed on the
bar and pop and the injector broke loose so this is the first time pulling out so let's pull it out
there we go that is an injector there's not much to it really definitely got some carbon in there
um it's a very low pressure system there's where I put snap ring on there see the see the groove
there's a little tiny groove right here that's all you can catch on and like Nothing grabs on it
looks like oh there's a port right there okay so anyways the snap ring trick worked
let's keep going let's take this snap ring off here and I'll show you guys
a little more this ejector looks like up close there we go that looks like a charm
keep struggling until you start getting more Innovative I'm going to get more innovative
and creative things start happening or you get frustrated and you break it
but I didn't do that so high five see some carbon in between here that's probably a screen where the
diesel fuel goes in so this actually isn't fed by Diesel from the top the head has ports in it
and all there is just a plunger that basically opens up a passageway for the diesel then to flow
down into a chamber and then when it pushes down it goes and sprays that diesel into the cylinder
pretty neat so the ports I'm assuming and there's nothing on the tip there that I see must be around
this uh a little ring here so we'll take these we'll have it sent off we'll have them rebuilt
pressure checked and then put them all back in and then just have a little Insurance to the
Earth cylinder so you're not washing a cylinder out running it I've got what is that 11 more to go
no this one has six but there's another range and I gotta do two so eleven more
there we go
there she is
[Music]
us ES
right
all right last injector number six oops
so glad I thought of the snap ring trick that worked miracles so easy well that was
significantly painless I don't know maybe an hour at most to do all that if I was really on
a roll I could probably do it in 20 30 minutes but here's your six injectors from number one
front by the fan to the back by the firewall and some of these have a little more carbon
than others built up that's not really a sign of anything failing I mean this engine ran really
good so more than likely these are all going to test out okay but we're gonna check anyways and
then there's all the valve covers rocker arms and the injector push rod I guess you call it
plunger so all that's good so now we just got to go to the series two big but which is in
the building it's cold it's not heated and not lit up like this but I think I can still manage
um you know I'll be able to get them out while it's in there just that way we want to move it
and we can put them back in and get started up when all the injectors come back ready to go
and hopefully I'll fix that smoking issue because that one likes to smoke when it's
idling pretty sure clear smoke either valves or injectors so we're gonna start
the valves or injectors and then valves yeah hang tight we'll be back all right
let's find that tractor where's he hiding at are you in here
those are going on something
hey there it is right there on I forgot the broomstick oh well okay I have a reason for
a broomstick oh maybe the poles are long enough to tilt the hood off let's lift this set up take
a look Salis engine should be identical little one we just did think I just lift on it let's see here
it's not a light hood by any means
it wasn't that long ago I had this engine out came out versatile 11.50 and uh now it's back in here
and looks good it's not as many wires and stuff it's been a lot easier but interesting this engine
has three uh block her breathers on the valve covers and it doesn't leak as bad as the other
one and I was told that you need three not two the other engine has two and creates a little
more crank pressure than this one does so maybe we need to add a third one of those valve covers
can't be that hard to do okay job for another day but let's get to work on this oh there we go
there we go ah that part's running onto
[Applause]
nope
foreign
number one's ready to go this thing looks nice way better looking than the other ones cleaner
seals let's look newer huh that's interesting this is the track that smokes more probably need
this track around I bet you anything that's what it is and I think I might do that too but first
clean up take my Nifty Nifty snap ring off
and last
injector
stuff that rod in the opening falls down in the cylinder
take my snap ring off
remember the injectors one through six and send them off to get tested all right we're
done here I'm going to cover this all up with a blanket and we'll get back to the SIM well
hopefully before April because that's when we're supposed to be driving this tractor well there we
are the injectors are on their way to go get pressure tested make sure everything's good
and flowing properly let me get them back we'll put in the tractors get them running again until
then those buds are gonna be sitting still so that's okay um we do have some plans let's shop
real soon we'll get to that um oh thank you guys for being patreon YouTube members if you're not

commenting too that's awesome I appreciate it but until then I've got some grain to get ready
to haul some peas and then we're gonna do a little more to that Big Bun so uh stay tuned
for the next video thanks guys for Watching God bless like always we'll see you then take care
