love the idea, tho alot of work no doubt.

that was cool.mustve been a pain to find the right pullys for them.but what happens if the belt slips?

 

[EvergreenRanch]

im no expert on pulling a weight sled, but was that even a good run? very interesting concept.

 

[DeepRoots]

what happens if any timing belt/chain stretches slips? same thing I imagine.

I've always prefered a truck motor with timing gears, but hey, I just think it's an interesting concept.

finding the pulleys/gears would be easy compared to custom making the injectors lines just right.

maybe that is why they use two IP's they didn't get the lines right and needed more fuel to make the thing run?

 

[TLBREWER]

Holy plumbing nightmare Batman! The fact that it even runs is pretty cool.

wow, lot of critics,....

That was the coolest IDI I have ever seen, I can't imagine the engineering that went into that to get it all to come together, and to do it on a set up that is show quality. All polished, and aluminum anodized. I am very impressed, great link.

When I lived in Belgium a buddy and I went to a tractor race, not a tractor pull, but a race, and saw some amazing things the owners had done with their diesel tractors. The race was wild. They raced on a track very similar to a motocross track.

Very nice, it looks very clean. That guy must love IDI bc it's not cheap to have custom made all that.

I'm suprised that it made it all the way to the end,
being a 6.5 and all...........

It was the nifty red bibs the guy was wearing that musta done it.

 

[MIDNIGHT RIDER]

I couldn't tell; but, wouldn't he have to have a seperate injector for each line, meaning two injectors per cylinder??

On another note, I saw a special program on TV, a few years back, where Massey Ferguson had abandoned an entire factory, foundry and all, in the late fifties-early sixties, that made only "35" Fergusons.

I think the factory was in Hungary, or somewhere close.

In the late eighties, the government had re-opened the factory, and were producing brand-new "old" Ferguson 35 tractors.

The last I heard, they were still making them, just like they did in the fifties.

Does anyone have any info on this??

if you look close, the injection lines are T'd into each other from the pump and than go to the injector.
two pumps per injector.... thats one way to get twice as much fuel.

I would think the timing needs to be ohhh so perfect to prevent two injections or one long one.

im with Darrin on this one i know i wouldnt ever beable to do that one wrong bolt hole and u start all over! very nice considering he used a 6.5

One long injection event or several short ones may be what he is doing. It really does offer a lot of versatility, but i can't imagine setting the timing on that thing.
