Good to talk to you at Coolspring! Now I have another bunch of sites to explore!

Nice Lathe nice chuck and setup. Much fun. I'd like to have a lathe like that

reminds me of the cartoon tugboat willey the way hes bouncing up and down

Little Toot's muscles.

Wanna see this old engine start?ok, hang on, let me just turn a 100 knobs and levers

Man, how often do you have to lube the exposed moving parts on that thing? Eeef.....no wonder the engineer had a job....

What an awesome motor, thank you for sharing this 👍. Built to last that's for sure

We had a WWI shipyard in Madisonville, Louisiana on the Tchefunta River. In 1927 the steam plant blew up and burned. They installed this same Type Atlas engine to run the huge line shaft workshop. My grandfather worked there and helped. My dad became general superintendent in the late 50’s-60s. Around 1968 that engine had run 40 years, every day and night. He parked a huge Electric motor next to it and retired the engine. It was a beautiful installation with brass handrails etc. When they switched that electric motor on, the belt let out a squeal you could hear all over town.

If this trailer's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'

Engine specs Bore/stroke: Large/Huge Max rpm: Slow Torque: Yes

Wouldn't it scare away the fish ?

Now all you need is a tugboat to put it in.⛴⚓️

Very shaky

Not enough O's in smooth to describe this engine

Pure raw torque.

Talk about three handfuls of controls, it must a while to remember which did what. Preet neat old engine.

I see how it made the tug boat go it waddle like a duck !

Qué hermosura! Me encanta la vida silvestre. Eso sólo se puede ver en Estados Unidos. En México nadie los dejaría libres.

Music for the mechanical minded.

Good Video!

from what i've seen about these engines, the horsepower numbers are low, but the torque numbers are very high.

beautiful engine

What a grand old engine. Makes you appreciate what we have now.

Any more information on this machine? We have some similar, if not identical, in our museum collection located in San Jose, California.

Valve timings out. Looks like it's fallen at some point

i see you have a suzuki for a starter motor..

considiring that that this engine is mounted on a trailer w shocks and not a sturdy platform , geee.

smooth like pudding

I like these old engines slove the puzzle and it will start every time

will this fit in my xj

what do you think an old engine like that would be worth approximately ?

Backup generator material. Get a LOT of car alternators and a couple of massive belts and a few car batteries and there.

My Dad worked on tug boats from 1919 to 1946.He often talked about the 3 cyl. Atlas.

Now I know where Chitty Chitty Bang Bang got it's name !

good

Nice original setup, is that flywheel of a McCormick model M engine looks like some I have. I love to listen to steam engines running slow even on air. Nice Video.

Nice engine. Thanks for posting.

Is it two or four stroke?

you won't find any modern day engine running 90 years from now they might run slow but they are still running

If I'm not mistaken that's a direct reversing engine. In other words to get reverse you have to shut it down, throw some levers and start it up backwards. Captains quickly learned to angle into the docks in case it didn't start back up...

Is this the engine of the Suzuki Samurai who's standing behind the engine?

Love to see him set a glass of water on that thing

Max RPM is like 50?

Thank goodness for crazy Gearheads

I love that enormous gauge at a about shoulder height.

that trailer is kind of sketchy

Three cyl engines with 120 degree crankshafts have rocking forces acting longitudinally and in a vertical up-and-down motion. The engine as it is placed demonstrates this perfectly. This is the reason why most modern vehicles with 3 throw crankshafts are fitted with a balance shaft or shafts.
