Hit and miss engine made in Norway 1919 5-6 hp. Gearbox from Mercedes 1952, rear end Ford Anglia,steering parts Chevrolet 1925,rear wheel Mercedes 1972
Really cool and a very nice paint job. That thing has got some ground speed too! The vibrations from these contraptions keeps the blood in us old folks circulating! Great job!!
these engines are used every single day in other countries, they get rebuilt over and over again and never go out of service, they even still make parts for these
This is one of my favorite videos on CZcams. you did a great job on this machine. Most of my friends lived on farms when I was a kid growing up in Ohio. They introduced me to my lifelong passion for any, and everything motorized. I mean really, how many kids are driving a multi ton tractor on the road when they are 10 y/o? I'd like to have this machine in my hanger, for an airplane tug!
Yep, Intel made processors that rolls back on the clock when the computer is using minimal processor time. This consequentially tripled the battery life on many of the compact laptops that are still in the market today. Apparently the car industry didn't think this could apply to cars too. My dream car? Partially solar charged hybrid with a hit and miss that runs on vegetable oil.
Awesome machine! such an insight into the early birth of mechanical engineering. From contained combustion comes transportation! This fire breathing machine is simply beautiful. As a fellow Gearhead, I think these old machines of overbuilt technology are simply some of the best damn examples of human ingenuity. In modern times...people drive hybrids and text bullshit to facebook, without knowing....where it all started.
Hi Popnstart, Steamwally and jrcaseman Thank you for nice comments. My son (32) and me (64) has great fun to make this tractor from old part I have collet in my garage over 45 year.
Very nice work! I would ride the whole day. In the future I look to build something like that, but where to get that hit and miss engine. Looks like they are rare in Europe. But I found them to be very simple, maybe I build a hit and miss engine my own self.
Well we already have systems that shut off cylinders called MDS or multi displacement system, I think thats good enough for todays standards if your coasting along on a highway in say a V8 it will shut off 6 of the cylinders and then you use 2 but when you push the pedal down to pass their is 0 lag and all the cylinders fire, Hit and miss should be used for say generators or lawn equipment, things where high power isn't needed that's my opinion or one day they may make a hybrid of this
I've never seen anything quite like it..!! - I cant decide whether it looks so wrong or quite cool. either way I applaud your engineering skills for making it, and making it work too. Brilliant!! Must admit I do like what you've done here..LOL :-)
MDS shuts down four, not six, and due to the strain it doesn't save that much fuel. I would propose keeping all eight firing, but only have them fire when the cars speed can't be maintained. You'd be surprised how far two tons will coast at 65-70 mph, and if that weight also spins the engine there is no reason for the injectors to be firing.
I see when the young dude pulls on that hook on the left side of the steering wheel it speeds up and "hits" more. Maybe rigging that to a gas pedal and it's more like a hit n miss car. And what's the fastest you've ever had this thing going?
I find this absolutely amazing! and I am not easily impressed..Good job,awesome handicraft, soon I will need one for blood circulaation also! regards ninja..
Nice. I love seeing old engines actually used for something. My only nit that I have to pick is with drive system. I would have opted for a hydrostatic system, just to simplify things and let me use it much more often. Also, why are you running it with no lubricant for the piston? I see that hopper bone dry.
good sound,good looks,Good shape,good speed.my daddy could definitely do something like this . he's a mechanic . this is a great idea if your broke.😆😭👍💵🐘
Really cool and a very nice paint job. That thing has got some ground speed too! The vibrations from these contraptions keeps the blood in us old folks circulating! Great job!!
*Now that's cool!!!*
I need to build myself one !
I feel like a little boy again just by watching this!! That,s awesome good!!!
"Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times..."
It looks factory. Awesome craftsmanship. The builder has talent.
these engines are used every single day in other countries, they get rebuilt over and over again and never go out of service, they even still make parts for these
Great job and I loved the fact that you actually did something with the engine instead of just having it sit on the ground. Thanks
I've seen a guy run one of these on propane if emissions was an issue, plus his engine was homemade, pretty sweet.
Your little tractor is really cute. An antique engine with a new job
pulling a small tractor.

Love the combination of parts, a true hotrodder there.
That would be fun to ride around the neighborhood!

That is the coolest use for a hit and miss engine I have ever seen. Nice work!
Really nice. Would be cool to make a John Deer hit and miss lawn mower like this.
Absolutely brilliant!!!! Love it!!
Some systems shut down 6 buddy, but you have the right idea
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a very long time
That is fantastic
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful build, working mechanical art! Much faster than I would have guessed!
I think we could put technology into cars that when the car is cruising on the highway or idling, the engine should operate this way.
Excellent! Very nice work, and much better than just watching an engine on a stand.
Very nice job gentlemen! I love these old machines, built when common sense was expected from people to not put your hand where it doesn't belong.
LOL, the sound that thing makes is EPIC!

Beautiful work!
Gotta like those hit and miss engines, Nice tractor!
What kind of cankered misanthrope could 'dislike' this? It's marvelous!
It,s nice to see someone colour co-ordinate with their machinery :)
I love this so much !
I love it! The engine runs very well, and the tractor even bounces like a Bulldog or Marshall! Thanks for posting. John.
Not in cars, but definitely at the very least tractors and some lawn equipment

wow motors have definately come a long way
What a Awesome creation!! ........She fly's!!
Hit and miss lawnmower, hahaha! thas a good one. I'd want to see a major gear reduction to call this a tractor. Nicely fun..
Genius in metal work!
ahhh looks like that single rotor red lawn mower haha. cool!!

That's amazing, dude!
Beautiful made, respect
But do never drive forward into an obsticle,
it would damage the valve mecanic... ;)
fair play well done mate
Hi Popnstart, Steamwally and jrcaseman
Thank you for nice comments.
My son (32) and me (64) has great fun to make this tractor from old part I have collet in my garage over 45 year.
Love that sound , nice build
Awesome engineering project!
Very nice job!
Sounds great when it is loaded up and fires every time!!!
Just to say you did a great job bringing such an old style engine and using it for now.
Thanks for the upload.
Have subbed OK?
Take care.

i want one, if only for the sound a hit and miss makes.
Awesome machine!
That looks incredible nice job!
Lol, chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff...
Fit some lights and you're good to go on the streets. It'd be a good eye catcher and to scare people with.
It would take me exactly nine seconds to lose at least one toe riding that thing..lol
That is awesome, and it really scoots. Great job.
haha, I want 1. I know a guy that made 1 from a Amanco Bradford inclosed crank. (Licenced by Amanco for Bradford to make in the UK).
Great Build! 👍
I've never seen anything quite like it..!! - I cant decide whether it looks so wrong or quite cool. either way I applaud your engineering skills for making it, and making it work too. Brilliant!!
Must admit I do like what you've done here..LOL :-)
I wonder what the gas mileage would be.
I want one :-)
That is so cool I would get rid of my peugeot 206 for one! Going to the shops on that would turn some heads!!!
I made the same thing but looks alot different and its got a IH hit and miss!

Search for 'Ideal' lawn mower, these were fitted with small hit and miss engines.
I see when the young dude pulls on that hook on the left side of the steering wheel it speeds up and "hits" more. Maybe rigging that to a gas pedal and it's more like a hit n miss car. And what's the fastest you've ever had this thing going?
Nice work runs great love it!
Thank you dougaustintx.
Yes. The engine was only start in the garage ,and nothing to use it to.
Now, we can move it and have some extra fun with it.
I very much like the over all lay out, but ,
had I built it? mite have lengthened the
frame a bit and put an awning on it,
as with a traction engine.
I find this absolutely amazing! and I am not easily impressed..Good job,awesome handicraft, soon I will need one for blood circulaation also! regards ninja..
Damn nice job guys !
that is so cool!
Very cute!
if a better tractor sounds like that so speed up but nice work of you
Yep. Ya hear a "put" the flyahwheel goes round four tahms. Than she goes "put" again.
Nice work, thats actually quite nippy when you want! Have you ever tried to see what it can tow?
Lol, ant sneaking up on anyone with that bad boy
Simply nice!Good for you!
awesome!
looks fun to ride
Cool noen norske!
AWSOME!
Next time I will book you for speeding :-)
Nice. I love seeing old engines actually used for something. My only nit that I have to pick is with drive system. I would have opted for a hydrostatic system, just to simplify things and let me use it much more often.

Second To None Great Job....
im wanting to make one of these but im not sure on how to clutch it and get faster and slower speeds and foward and recerse help pleeeease !
i love your toys buddy!!!
Sweet job!
not a hit and miss but home made minipuller we built
Very very impressiv! !!!
Now try some gardening with it. Although, it's very clean.
I want it, fantastic.
very nice could you tell me how you get it to stop and go
good job!
very nice!!
chitty chitty bang bang we love you :P
that thing is awsome!!! =3-
boredom is the cousin of ingenuity
looks... deadly... must... have... one.... O.o
Awesome!
good sound,good looks,Good shape,good speed.my daddy could definitely do something like this . he's a mechanic . this is a great idea if your broke.😆😭👍💵🐘
Watch your fingers, it seems like danger lurks everywhere you look.on that rig.
nice work wats the top speed or average speed at 75% power?
I first saw this engine! Tell us about it??
This motor with surface ignition?
