Cold Starting a diesel engine-is it too far gone?!?

What happens here

With the Bobcat T180 proving too stubborn to start in the frigid conditions, Stanley and Alex abandon the attempt for the moment. Stanley explains that the plow's wings can cause the truck to get caught in snowbanks when backing up, making it difficult to maneuver in deep snow. To avoid getting stuck or going into a ditch, he decides to use the plow truck to create a wider turnaround area. He then proceeds to plow the truck back out of the woods, reinforcing the cleared path to ensure easier access and exit.

Goal: After failing to start the Bobcat, the crew uses the plow truck to create a turnaround space and clear their exit path, acknowledging the difficulty of deep snow maneuvering.

Tools and materials

  • Plow Truck (Ford F-series)
  • Snow Plow

nope we're gonna let her charge for a little bit of a development you see that front plow when you're backing up the wings hook the snow banks and then it turns the truck for you in ways that you may not necessarily want it to turn so as i was backing up my front plug caught and it didn't make a difference what i was doing with the steering wheel the truck was doing what it wanted to do so we're gonna we're gonna build a turn around and drive out and fly our way out again because i don't want to go in the ditch out here not at this town so we could not get the bobcat to start and even if it would have started the fuel would have probably been gelled off pretty quickly anyway so we just said we're going to plan b let's but first before we can scoot out we gotta get out i tried to back down the same trail i went down but my plow caught and put my rear end right in a ditch but thank goodness we got the new tires on and we're gonna be taking these babies out into the woods and really putting him to a test in an upcoming video [Music] this is one of those places where having a v plot right there you can see where i went almost went in the ditch for having a v plot is just what you need
