37 years of working on cat equipment and I have never seen the chop saw starting a pony. What a great idea. Your the man!!
-
I have never seen anyone with more enthusiasm to see old iron run again. Good job Matt.
-
Using a 2 stroke saw to start a 4 stroke pony motor to start a diesel engine is on of the funniest things I've seen on this channel and I love it!
-
WHEN YOU BROKE OUT THE CONCRETE SAW WITH THE BELT. I AM DEAD.... Absolutely genius hahaha!
-
I was sitting here with my grandson and he turned to me and said “gee Pop that man sure is happy” when the main engine started. It’s a great feeling when my 12 year old grandson is with me watching you instead of being on some street corner up to no good and sharing your joy. Well done again Matt

Your use of the gas powered chop saw to belt start the pony motor is genius. It proves the old saying that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention".

As a Chevron Lube Oil Technical Rep of 28 years, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos Matt. Keep up the great work !
-
As an old geezer I have worked outside as we have seen Matt do. I remember what a Godsend it was to later on work in a shed and eventually a garage out of the weather and with tools and equipment close by and available. It has been a pleasure to watch the same things happen at DieselCreek. Bless you for bringing back those old memories for me.
-
An hour and 15 minutes what a good day it’s going to be. Hope your well mate
-
Just love the boyish enthusiasm, the excitement as an old engine stutters to life, pure magic. Well done Matt.
-
Best thing about these videos is that its not my knuckles getting skinned and my finger nails getting crushed!This kind of work is fascinating when it doesnt involve personal pain and frustration. Keep up the good work Matt, best wishes from an old engineer in Oxfordshire UK.

Laughing out LOUD. It is so much fun to watch you get this rusty iron running. You are the best
-
What a revival! You looked like a mad scientist running around your experiments there. That was truly satisfying to watch
-
Nothing is better than hearing an old diesel engine coming back to life after many many years of sitting. What a time capsule! Great video brother 👍

Growing up in a small suburb in the 60's, the road we lived on was a dirt road. The county came out and widened the roads and laid blacktop. They used a Cat grader that looked about like yours. I was so excited being about 5 years old watching these graders, trucks, loaders and all the construction equipment. Sounds real good for being neglected so long.

Your Dad must be very proud of you and what you’ve achieved ,taking us along a journey each week is instructive and entertaining at the same time cheers

Matt. Jim Hyde here and I have to hand it to you, you truly put on an energetic presentation that is quite informative as well. LOVE the 2 cycle starting the pony. Good on ya and keep it going. Jim

Thanks for continuing to save old stuff that in today’s mentality would go by the wayside. It’s a pleasure to see your enthusiasm and outstanding work. Keep doing what you do 👍👌
