Giorgio, the Fiat doesnā€™t have a decompressor for easier starting, I started it downhill for the first time, it came to life quickly. Otherwise, I have to seal the leaking water pump. I cleaned the carburettor, replaced the fuel pipe, there will still be quite a bit of workā€¦ well, it has four performances, the fourth one is very fast, it probably reaches 40km/h,ā€¦ of course I intend to install a wood gas gasifier, but I donā€™t have it at the moment time for that,ā€¦ :grinning::fire:

They advertised them as ā€˜easy to work onā€™. They sound like they were designed to compete with the Ford 8N.

And now we know the real reason why you bought it. :slight_smile:

I was going to say you could install a decompression system to make it easier to start. but I think you need antique driving goggles and maybe a leather helmet more. :slight_smile:
The windshield was optional on a Model T so maybe something like these.

Ha, ha, good glasses, but the driving cap should be turned back so that the wind does not blow it away. Giorgio, those of you who donā€™t have a car, this little tractor would be quite a good means of transport, you just need to add lights and balance the tires. :grinning::tractor::tornado:

If you make the ride pleasant, the wife will start using it, and you are out of a tractor and you already got her the stove. :rofl:

tone, thanks for the film, exiting engineā€¦with 40 km/h we have soon the next ā€œwoodrunnerā€!
in my old hanomag handbook i hav seen they have had a lever on the friction pedal for fix it on ā€œopenā€ position for easier hand cranking, shure in winter helpfull when the gear oil is more stiffā€¦

in the swiss woodgas book from @Til in the chapter about converting diesels to spark ignition, there is a valve over the cylinder in the motorhead called ā€œzischhahnā€ā€¦is this for decompression??

Thanks Giorgio, good link, Iā€™m especially interested in how the clutch is designed, whether it has the possibility of adjustment, because it grabs at the end.
