Terramite Backhoe, Will It Run? bought with a busted engine.

hey guys and how's it going a friend of mine bought a teramite t5b uh with you thinks a blown motor is actually missing at the moment and he just decided to do a replacement on it and the old one we're not sure what went on with it it's over here on the floor he's going to give that to us to do a little bit of a dissection see if we can figure out what happened to it and possibly tear it apart to fix it if it at all possible if not we're just going to try to figure out what happened to it what do you know on the history of the tractor they tell you anything freddy he owned it for around 25 years i think a long time um it could be the original engine in it uh then it quit on him he sold it cheap did he say it made a noise or anything when it went or just he's not really mechanical he just said really no it doesn't run he didn't know it was bad i determined it was it wasn't gonna come back to life yeah so like was he using it and just died on him or okay so it wasn't like you want to go start it and yeah so i would say it definitely has some kind of internals so we're gonna go drag this back to my shop and we'll do a little autopsy let's go see what we got first it sees his mini oil and his oil on it does that look over full where's the full line it's over full by about three quarters of an inch possible that could be gas sometimes when the needle and seat fail hard to tell it kind of has a faint smell of old gas the needle and seat fail on the carburetor and sometimes if the gas tank is above the carburetor it can just gravity feed overflows the float ball and then drips down into the cylinders gets past the rings and goes into the oil i say we go and get a jumper pack we'll put a little bit of power to the starter we'll just just crank it over let's listen to it see what it sounds like i believe that's the hot post we'll find out if we touch ground anywhere on it it should crank there we go well it has compression at least one of them's got compression if you hear it kicking let's go pop the plugs out of it we shove a compression test down inside see what we got here's the plugs this is the left side is the right side definitely different in color it's blacker that one's more dried up which one do you think is not running i'm going to see the on that one see we get i got the throttle wide open full throttle does it have a choke should have choked make sure that is open that's open like that fire hole oh that one's an issue we got nothing absolutely nothing on the right side let's go kick it over check out the other one well it sounded like this one was had something to it ah not much this like 60. so both sides can seem pretty iffy all right i say we pull the head off the one and worship we'll get that left head off and see what's going on [Music] [Music] always wanting a crowd right i want to hit it with the ear gun so before i pull it off what do you think fail why do you think it has no compression i'm gonna guess i'm gonna say it overheated and the valve guide walked its way out and it's holding the valve open that's gonna be my guess what's your thoughts that one's gonna snap got here where do i get the feeling that piston is not moving up and down because that piston is not moving up and down that is not a good sign she is done blown up dropped the connecting rod now that'll make for an interesting reason why i wouldn't run huh so why does the other side have 60 psi higher than that i wonder if it took a little collateral damage from the when the rod let go i wonder if it threw material to the other side let's go see hmm well that one's got to be moving up and down it is making some air yeah pushing out a lot of goo i don't see any scratches up you want to continue on you want to see what happened down below see if we could figure it out i'm wondering if a rod started to seize on the crank and you just kept running it okay bruh to the rod was no longer seized on the crank and started getting real loud and they got real loud and they got real quiet all right let's we should probably get the oil out of it get so the gooeys are during that plus we'll go see what kind of chunks come out maybe a good investigation huh not seeing a huge usually get that silver rainbow i'll show you you should need the oil get that little metal ring of color coming off not seeing that sometimes too i've seen things that were over full after the fact after they started knocking and doing the noise that they're doing then they go i better go check the oil and they check the oil and they say okay i'm gonna put a little extra in just to help it pretty much the law's caused by that time all right we'll let that one for a second try pop that oil filter off too yeah let's see if one heated grip we got it there's nothing the rod bearing will tell the story when we go to take it apart yeah that wheel's really clean even with a and it wasn't like they changed it because you know it's dirty but it's clean as far as metal bits i'm not seeing anything i wasn't expecting that when you have something you just let go super quick then a lot of the hardware has been very um eclectic in its choices i pretty much found every size metric and standard on it okay so [Laughter] yeah you need to see nothing right there now are you yeah whoops well next to say we get the cylinder head right off of here so again about the intake on both the exhaust and it looks like it's probably got you know another half a dozen holding it on to the bottom we're gonna get the starter out of our way too to get access maybe let's get this out of our way looks like a new starter it'll be good for my stash and get it out so close we get so far snug as you get that head off of there i believe all the bolts are out free up the intake and the exhaust a little they're moving valve cover on top he's not clearing the manifolds hold on one sec let me get that off of there ready i just snapped that rod right in the center let's go and the crank came around and hit it a bunch of times the crank away does not look what i would have expected to see it's got a little scoring on it but i would have thought that thing would have been hamburger yeah i would have expected that to really be chewed up much more go grab a little light we'll peek down inside there you know the chunks are down below it but it didn't burn up slowly it looked like it it just grenaded it grenaded it quick i want it maybe over rpm again it's got a little bit of scarring on the journal but see anything else i'm gonna go play parts retrieval get in there with my little pliers let's go pull some of those pieces out of there take a look at them well there's all the bits and pieces i would definitely say they don't have bearings they just kind of ride on the aluminum the over full has me going a little bit i'm kind of thinking maybe the overflow is what we talked about whoops we talked about in the beginning with the gas getting into the oil thinning the oil out and it's no longer a lubricant and it had the connecting rod bind to the crankshaft and what's a yeah this is aluminum and once a little piece of aluminum galls bring the best word for it and embeds itself into the steel on the crank that's it every time it goes around it's just going to grab a little bit more and a little bit more until eventually it transfers enough from one to the other that one tries to become the other and then the connecting rod has has so much effort on it this is this is binding on the crankshaft and meanwhile the piston is trying to rock actually the top is kind of sitting cylinder the bottom is trying to rock and that the torque that is on the rod over time causes it to fracture there's a bunch of little pieces and stuff as far as hamburgers concerned that are still down in there but the fact that nothing was in oil really surprises me it must have happened so fast that it didn't have time to grind up some dust after that pan settles a little bit too we'll look in the bottom but i don't see anything well guys i think we've gone as far as uh we need to go what's your thoughts what do you think it failed for do you think it was something else sometimes like i say mouse nest i've i've seen causing the overheat and the overheat they also bind and lock up lack of oil could have been an issue i do not see this thing having a huge oil leak on it not that it couldn't have sometimes it runs out of oil and if you have no oil it does the same thing too oil pump failure so one thing i've always wanted to try and do although one side of the engine is totally blown up and not connected anymore the other side is still connected what do you say we put it back together we can leave the one side off it there's no oil in it it's not going to matter anyway because the port that's in the crank is wide open so it's not going to hold any oil pressure and it's unbalanced and blah blah blah blah but let's see if we could go put one side of the engine back together and put the starter on it plug maybe the one side of the intake put a little bit of fuel in it see if it'll fire and how long i'm gonna run for why not right all right let's go have it [Music] i ran over to the corner of the bench and got one bolt in it but it's definitely rocky but at least it won't fall off the bench uh let's go crank it see if we're getting spark also we're going to listen to what it sounds like do you have spark good let's go throughout the compression testing one more time we double check and see what we got throttle we have a throttle hold that throttle open you see it all right sure i'm gonna zap myself with a plug wire neither it's low it's like like 50 60. it might go though right what do we have to lose so one thing we got to do is plug the intake on the other side and the reason for that is so there they oppose each other when one's firing the other one's not firing thrown in when say this side is open the valve's open the piston's uh going down it's sucking air fuel in goes back up the intake valve closes the exhaust valve closes makes compression fires goes back well the other side when one side's open the other side is closed so it's not breathing out the other end well when the piston was like it was not moving it's not doing anything so it was just like having the valve open on the other side all the time it just does not instead of let me rephrase that instead of it trying to pull air fuel through the carburetor intake and down into one side it's just going to suck air from the other side because the path of least resistance this is wide open nothing is going to want to get drawn through the carburetor into that cylinder i'm probably just going to shove a rag packet in there real good and see how that does for us that backfire is pregnant launch it right out you ready let's go give her a little a little treat down there and kill wire i ground that that will kill it go i'll hold it idle let me so just not enough to run plug wire should not matter for the other side anyway because uh it's a posing they fire at the same time and then they waste the other spark so that's not it hmm i wonder like it should have at least coughed it should at least try to cough let's go see first of all if that is top dead center if not i wonder if it when it locked up and blew up did it shear the flywheel key and kick the flywheel so that the timing's in totally the wrong spot hard to say usually if it's spun it'll want to come off really easy let's go wipe it with a mouth a couple of times [Applause] back up a little i don't want to hit you in the head you can get a puller try well you can see so here's the key right here all right there's where it's supposed to line up so there's the rest of the key down there so that's a good 70 degrees out or so yeah that'll definitely make it so it doesn't have spark at the right time all right let's go get this flywheel off get a new key in it or at least line it back up bolt it up and see if she'll go [Applause] so that would be half of a flywheel key and that is the other half go see what i got worst case we're just going to take this one and flip it over so there's a little bit of a nub locking it back in position one of those should be in there we need one about that size it might be a little a hair longer but we're gonna go with that hmm i think we try it without putting any gas in wherever we left in and see if we'll do anything nervous i am [Music] here we go [Applause] let's give her some fuel now [Applause] oh i'm amazingly quiet not shaking i thought i was gonna be all over the place all right let's load up see actually i don't know if the fuel pump is gonna work cause it's not gonna have crankcase pressure let's uh i want to fill the float bowl i'm going to go pop this line off and take a second i'm going to pop that line off stand it straight up let's go fill the float ball up and see if it'll run off the fuel off the carburetor and possibly how long it'll run so would this be considered a 10 horsepower i guess if you plug the like weld up the crankshaft where the oil port comes out of the center so no oil pressure is being lost through there i guess it would run because the journals are separate from each other i think that's got it a little down there you reset just go fire it back up again let's see if it'll idle i don't know maybe a little choke plus who knows what shape that carburetor is into just because you put fuel down it doesn't mean it's doing what it's supposed to be doing and give her about half choke try it [Music] again that will baby feed it maybe and get it running now i'm just going to keep dribbling a little bit of fuel down the car but let it run off of what i put in it i think we got gotta go with open choke again which is that's wide open keep a little light on the cylinder in case it decides to blow its intestines out so well i started running off of what was in the carburetor i'm amazed that it stayed together too gave her some rpms started wanting to walk off the bench though plus i'm trying to hold on to the exhaust she's getting a tad warm that worked out pretty good hey guys that was entertaining i hope you're entertaining that was fun we said we couldn't get to run on one will it run it runs so [Applause] uh [Applause] [Applause] well guys i think we're going to wrap it up right about here i had some fun with i hope you enjoyed kind of playing along and just seeing the look exploratories of what happened and then afterwards to see if we can get the fire back up on its one lung and it did actually sounded quite i'm i'm impressed by how smooth it ran although it was jumping around on the bed i expected much worse than what that was so our 20 10 horsepower engine still was able to run so i guess it is a will it run and the fun doesn't have to stop there because you can go down the comments and start putting in your opinions what you think happened why did this thing blow apart why did it do what it did i'm still kind of up in the air on it myself i'm thinking possibly either ran a low on oil and it's starved and somebody added oil later but the oil is really dark i i don't hard to say possibly maybe they poured some oil in afterwards but there's no there's no like metal dust it just kind of decided to give away all at once maybe somebody over revved it and decided to give up but that is what the comments are for so i'll meet you down there we'll have a little fun playing with what the thoughts are and we'll go from there until the next one i will see you later thanks for stopping by i figured i'd just take a second to show you the one that i have i've had it for around about 15 years or so i'm keeping over at brian's house put a cab over the top of it put a mechanical thumb on the bucket in the back you could swing that down there's a lever that attaches to that and that's good if you want to go the thumb will be down here and you grab the bucket you go pick up logs or rocks you can move around as you want i should probably bring it to the shop and do a little level loving care on it give it a good service it's been a good machine there they're tanks i don't think they're in business anymore but they're awesome machines all right you
