Santa (a friend) gave me this for Christmas. Its a International UD6 It has 4 cylinders, 4 injectors, an updraft carbie, a magneto & 4 spark plugs, its direct injection (no glow plugs). A couple of years ago after an afternoon drinking beer, we started it on ethanol and ran it for a little while and then ran it over night on tallow (pigs fat) just for the hell of it. It started out its life in a dozer & then was used on a generator, finally it has been on a irrigation pump. It was just replaced with an old 240d motor.
I am going to give it to the local trade school. Some young apprentices can explain how come a diesel has spark plugs and a carburetor !!
Its older than many of us on here, I was told mid 1950's.
A candidate for WVO o Bio ?
Maybe some one can remember their father having one of these?
Maybe some one wants to explain?
Go on !!!
