GrandDad used to have an old Farmall Diesel Tractor.
You had to start it on gasoline, then switch over to diesel.
Anyone remember those ?
We called them pony motors
No, not pony motors. A pony motor is a separate gas fired starting motor.
Refrrenced here is an internal combustion engine with an electric starter. It is a low compression diesel engine with spark plugs. It initially fires on gas from a small auxilliary tank. Once the engine gets warm, you open the valve on the diesel tank, and shut off the gas.
