- I did a little tinkering today. I think it runs a little better. I am a little braver today also .I will be a lot better when I get the belt pulley and truck brake petal installed!

Watching this old equipment run is hypnotic to me. The flywheels spinning, the piston rod and exposed crank punching away in thin air. The sound is better than any recorded music I ever heard. Excellent job restoring this beautiful piece of history.
I love just waiting engines run.
This is such a wonderful old machine, and the best part is that it's big enough and strong enough that you could use it for small farm jobs. Nothing better than ancient equipment that still works a bit for a living. :)
Thanks for the video! Good idea with the ear protection. As a kid in the 40's I remember some of the "hit and miss" tractors and such and we kids loved them. Best of luck!
The craftsmanship that went into creating this machine and running it is a beautiful peice of history
Holy crap, now that is a gorgeous piece of machinery. Wow. Thanks for showing it!
Cool. You spun a wheel and off she goes. I remember the old Ajax engines on a few oil pump jacks. Some wernt as tempramental as others. Great Video
WHAT A FANTASTIC LOOKING MACHINE, AND IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE BEFORE. WELL DONE.
A labor of love.
You can see.
And hear it.
(Listen to how smooth that engine runs.)
My grandfather would put the same care into whatever he worked on.
This tractor was used on a farm in southern Texas for growing crops.
Beautiful piece of machinery. But to be fair, the crops grew themselves. The tractor helped prepare the soil, plant the seeds, harvest, haul, etc. 🙂
It's a beautiful green monster! Fairbanks MORnStEr, beautifully restored! congrats!
The piston layout, the steering chains, and the reverse gearing reminds a lot the previous steam rollers and tractors... this is probably the closest missing link between steam and petrol era! Nice, really ! Thanks !
Id say the benz motorwagen is the closest link, but this is, if you look at industrial machinery
The...mort....traktor..stream..verygood

What a beautiful beast... Immaculate.
Mister Kelch! You dit a nice very nice job with your Fairbanks tractor its better than new! greatings from Heerlen south of the Netherlands
Congratulations to the owner of that machine--restoration is beautiful so as an elderly retired farmer heartfelt thanks for putting this on youtube.
Just amazed how these motors run how big and beautiful they are blows me away
backing up great, even no back up camera. engine sounds great. thanks for your work. 1913 year, I had been on another star, ha ha. thanks again.

Wow! Those wheels are as BEAUTIFUL as dangerous, what a piece of engineering. I could stare at that engine listening to its music all day long.
And that was state of the art when my grandad were young men. But they also used their draft horses as well for many years after this. Makes me feel a bit old and nostalgic.
Great video. Cool tractor. Thanks.
What a beautiful sound! A beast breathing!
Magnificent tractor. Thank you for keeping it going.
Such a beautiful machine. It was a joy to watch it in action. Thank you!
Simply fantastic! Even more because of it's green colour. Extremely well done, Sir. Thanks a lot for sharing.
engine sounds like a sample ready to be mixed into some kind of techno tune. amazing.
It was brand new the year my daddy was born! Thanks for sharing.
I've seen a lot of old tractors here on CZcams but this one is my favorite!
That's a very clean restore,I bet it didn't look that good new,nice job to who ever restored this 👍👍
opravdu nádhernej a krásnej stroj a ten zvuk je vysoce luxusní
Old boy is running good!
Beautiful restoration, sir. Bravo.
What a huge tractor. Thanks for uploading this video.
An incredible transition between a steam traction engine and the modern tractor
That is one piece of, awesome, antiquity. I am impressed. I truly am.
Wonderful restoration!!
That's incredible. Look how far we've come in just over 100 years...amazing.
Hmm.dont know how far we came,more comfort and computer of course,so farmers are excluded from repairing their own equip.Just want to remind you that the Case 150 pulls 36 bottom plough with its steam engine.Dont think a modern 150 hp tractor can do that!
That is awesome!! I love it
That has to be one of the most well-balanced of these huge 1-cylinder engines I've ever seen.
Most other machines of this kind rock back and forth at least a little, this one doesn't move at all.
the flywheels are very very heavy,these sure ar balanced for the non vibration of all the engine.
trattori porsche
Co słycha
Ppl
seems like a dangerous way to start an old Fairbanks. I love the video looks awesome when it's running
what a beautiful piece of machinery
Can't watch enough of this machines.
High technology.
Nice to watch the piston from the lower end during operation.
What a wonderful, great part of heritage... absolutely wonderful.
NOW THATS A ENGINE WE NEED MORE OF THIS, Old One Legged Joseph T.
Awesome restoration.
Thumbs Up and Happy New Years !
These you don't see every day I love the sound of it shutting down
What a grand ol' tractor! Great restoration!

I watch this video about every month. Fascinating
Your machine looks good, a lot of hard work to get her looking like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow, a lot of energy stored in those flywheels.
All kinds of cool stuff to get tangled up in!
Thank You For Sharing That Fine Piece Of Engineering Craftsmanship Metal Work The Castings Are Art Thank You Again Just Found Your Channel Thanks Your Fix It
What a master piece.
Beautiful works of Art
That beauty makes an awesome beat.
Very nice job, sounds perfect
I will use this video to remind people what the old days were like. 😁😁😁
Enough of the good old days!
what a beast! classy machine
Very, very good. It works very good. Also the look is like a dream.
WOW that is so beautiful !!!, I love it !!!, great job on restoration and operation ! ! ! 😎👋👋👋👀👀👀
Super tractor of old times. Good video.
Good job Wendell
Nice! Would love to have that in my barn 👍
Very cool old piece. Bonus points if you have the belt drive run your workshop.
Still one of my favorites.
Beautiful old tractor built to last.
love the sound . . . rumbling . . . spitting . . .
Beautiful tractor. Nice job
Doesn't get any better than this!!!!!👍👍👍
We threshed wheat with one of these when I was 12 years old in Shelbyville Kentucky on the Zaring Farm. My step dad owned it. I think it's in Arizona now days...
Now that modern technology. There is no way a tractor built today that could even come close to running so long. Beautiful old mechanics of yesteryear
It's amazing what they had to assemble to get 25 HP back then and this was probably considered a fairly advanced powerplant. A modern motor of this size and weight could probably produce over 1000HP quietly and with minimal emissions. The first steps were huge but what a testament to engineering advancement!
This is not the same power as a 25 horse power briggs and stratton. this has toque values probably 10 times what your car has.
mike s not really, I'm sure the ft pounds in torque are a lot higher than 25, but not that high, that's why it needs huge flywheels and extremely low gearing.
25HP are 25HP no matter the torque.
power is = to torque x rotation speed so it does
@@mikesrestoration its torque on crankshaft is probably also low, but what makes it so powerful is its extremely small gearing ratio, same is valid for today's tractors
I love this thing. I would drive it to the grocery store just because I could.
That was beautiful to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25hp single cylinder but I bet the torque if off the charts
Man. That thing is really cool
Sweet old tractor.
I live in the town where Fairbanks was first started I drive by Fairbanks scales every day.
Coucou de la Belgique 😉 merci pour le partage de votre jolie machine
Each puff brings out the respect
Jeez, that's so cool !
thats music for me !
Just imagine the time when this sound was heard on farms all across America. Damn, I wish I was born 100 years earlier.
Element of Kindness: Oh boy, you would've reversed your wish rather quickly after having been there !
Beautiful machine and running perfect.
Wow that was really cool
This is a 4 stroke throttle governed engine not a hit n miss. The governor controls the butterfly in the carb.
UThe and Wendell Kelch you uused
Erwin Rogers
yeah you can hear the stroek is every two cycle , very unusual for an old diesel engine
plop386 it's a gas not a diesel engine
@@plop386 Well no, it’s a four stroke diesel engine, there’s nothing unusual about that. They’ve been around since the beginning
Now let's see a cold start! Seriously though, beautiful machine, hums along like it's fresh from factory. Bet it looks snazzier now with a thick layer of green epoxy than it did rolling out of the factory too.
Is this house industrial music started? 😁 Such a cool piece of history
I love this video athe tractor looks great
antique power did an article about this tractor.neat to watch it run
Very awesome really nice t tractor
Very impressive thanks for the view gym Kansas City Missouri
Lots of torque out of that 25 hp to move all that cast iron and steel!
very nice cool stuff
Hearing protectors, good choice
That thing is cool as a big dog😊
Just Beautiful.
Me encanta, una obra de arte
I don't think I've seen anyone recently as excited as you clearly were to fire that old girl up.
The beatifull machine!!!!
What a beast. Sounds like the piston ist the size of a water bucket.
Beautiful 👍
