- This is redneck ingenuity in its purist form. An old car frame, some tired iron, a few belts and pulleys and away we go.
Builder/operator unknown. This was captured at the Santa Fe Trail Tired Iron Show west of Larned Ks. Oct 11, 2008

Updated information:
Builder -Stanley Phillips, built in the late 60ties. The car frame was a 50ties Ford, fished out of Lake Meredith that some one had wrecked. The large engine is a 1892 Fairbanks Morse 9 HP.
Stanley is deceased. Hats off to his son Martin for maintaining and showing this marvelous work of art. This has been and is still being displayed in parades and farm shows in the Kansas and Oklahoma areas. (Photo - Stanley's last ride with his son Martin.)
Interesting side note - The video aired on SYFY's "Insane or Inspired" on Stanley's birthday.
I love the fact there's a small hit or miss used as a starter for the large hit or miss. So cool!!!
This guy came to the Oklahoma Steam and Gas Engine Show in Pawnee, OK a few years ago. I asked him about it, and as I recall he explained that it is a 1954 Ford car frame modifed to support an 1892(?) vertical 10-hp stationary engine. The pony motor used to start it is a John Deere 3-hp engine. Rather than mount the engine on a trailer, he decided it would be a more interesting way to display it if it could be moved around under it's own power.
This is my grandfather’s creation. That is my uncle in the video.
Kelly, This is awesome!
Would you care to correspond?
I would love to hear any details about your Grandfather, Uncle, machine history or anything related. My personal e-mail is ghpfort@gmail.com
If you would rather not, that is OK. I fully understand.
Thanks
Glenn
He's a cool dude . Wish I could drive it once
Steampunk plus Mad Max with a touch of Farm fresh ingenuity. This is AWESOME!
I gotta start the engine so let me start the engine...
I was thinking the same thing, a hit and miss pony motor to start the big hit and miss engine
I don't know about Redneck, but I do know it's brilliant and cool as hell. There's nothing like the sound of a Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall, and a hit and miss.
Brother, I like the way you think. That car is awesome! Great job, and thanks for posting. Later, Rick.
Love it ! You done a great job putting it all together, would like to see and ride it . Great job again !
Caution: Don't wear loose fitting clothes or insert a limb near moving parts!
And don't fall forward when it surpisally stop while was not prepare box for meat!
This construction has one very most flaw. The lattice must be located after the meat-crusher!
Looking at the driver, I am very sure there are no loose fitting clothes...
Hey Larry, Your Uber is here.
Love it.
Aaaaand, that's all it takes to get yourself down the block to pick up a dozen eggs and a gallon of milk! No more wearing out your shoes!
The title couldnt be more accurate. It even has massageseats.
I saw this cruising a tractor show about 15 years ago..
This is amazing. I would love to know how fast it can actually get.
This video has suddenly gone viral. Can someone please tell me where or how it was promoted? Thanks Glenn
Facebook.......
That is so cool. How could it not go viral?
It was just recommended to me
I found it a while ago and share it to friends who like these old thumpers.
Saw it a long time ago. Still come back to it.
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice vehicle
Love old engines
That is really awesome
Go full steampunk look. Nice machine man.
That’s one hell of a wind up toy car?!?!
The store is the best better than any Bass Pro Shop
You could use the momentum of the flywheels to drive to the grocery store
What is the engine from?
Put a big prop on it and make it a leafblower!
It's like an airplane in that it needs an APU to start the main engine.
Hit and miss engine on a go kart? Shut up and take my money!
It uses a hit miss engine to start the hit and miss engine
Precious.
Spittff spittf spittf spittf!!!!
how cool is that
The Future in steam punks wet dream
Oh my God please put some lights in a horn on that so you can put a plate on it and drive it on the road
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...
what a sensible motor carriage! I love it! Thanks
Never seen one hit and miss motor used as a pony motor to start another. Love it!
Most people will troll because its slow or ineffeicient, but these engines are historical and help shape the modern world today
Those are old field engines, very collectable. We had on in our barn when i was growing up but I never saw it run. People used these to take out in the field where there was no power. The engine would usualy have a thick leather belt around the pully and drive something like a water pump or small sawmill. They were also used in the oilfield a lot. Not sure I would use them on a car.
Nice to see old iron do work instead of sit there and idle all day while people walk by
awsome!! when u shut her down she was like no,,, no no,,,,breathing:) then stopped. Thanks for sharing
Ain't man the best? just love the ingenuity!
Awesome machine, absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Any and every moving part of this contraption could rip an arm off.
That's great!
Love the sound of the JD pony at 0:43 . It's like he's saying "Time to go to work".
Love it to whoever you are you have a great mind
When you have a small hit and miss engine as a starter motor, you're doing something right!
Gives a whole new meaning to the term "thumper"
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE......THE CHICKS THAT I COULD PICK UP IN THAT!!! I WANT ONE!
I would LOVE to have the time, money, skills, and equipment to make a beautiful machine like this! :)
brilliant! Way better than just watching these run with almost no load!
love the old stationary's. that was great...people just don't understand that this engine was the thing back in the day. I was told that the little ones (like on the back) ran washers and things of such.....water resounds the piston and cools it. good to see two used for something and not just free ride, thanks for the vid.
Using an engine to start an engine... love it! Hit and miss to; that is so cool
I love seeing how it bends and shakes !
leaf springs on the the bench seat... classic!
so many different ways to lose a limb.... love it though :)
It would really suck having to start that Dammn thing up every morning haha
Thumbs up for ingenuity.
Love the bench seat...chicks gotta love that...
I love see how it bends and shakes !
That Motor Bounces the car around like a tin can :)
That...Is...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just imagine doing this in the rain on the way home from the bar.
chitty chitty bang bang I love you... lol memories
Boss-"why are you late?"
Me-" I had to start my engine"
Boss-"???"
Best thing ive ever watched? yes...
If I had one of these, I would be late for work every day.
COOLest thing EVER ...and the most efficient :)
That's actually really cool. Looks a lot like the Pioneer Power show in MN.
the only way this could possibly better is if somebody yelled "IT LIVES!!" when the guy finally gets it up and running.
This was love at first sight. I love the way he used the Lil hit-n-miss Deere to get the big ole hot-n-miss idk what company, maybe peerless?, fired up. That was the vest start up and drive ever and I would kill to see someone driving that thing pull up next to me.
Holy crap! That is freakin crazy!
WOW!!
Thats cool and crazy at the same time!
looks like a nice smooth ride
i was waiting for the sccisor hands boy to drive it... nice thing good job sr.. ,,
bet that thing has some crazy torque
This is an idea for the future for me lol... really cool machine you got there i like it.
pure genious !!!
This is sooooooooooooooo COOL.
This is where the phrase keep it running came from.
I can see it just flying apart at any second
Super job !!! Exellent !!!
The cat in the Hat wants his ride back bro
I would not want to start this vechicle if it you had to leave early. Very nice car i like it rummbles a lots. P.s. it has a aslome sound.
A new Obomamobile. Luv it.
With those flywheels I bet it ain't stalling. EVER! :))
at the end 'id be shaggin on that bench lmao
Clever move using the full moon hubcaps on the rear axle for improved aerodynamics!
I sure am glad that he put that OSHA approved screen on it since without a seat belt he might bounce off and fall into the spokes of that flywheel and get ground up like liverwurst.
lol omg.. this is SO bad ass!!
I LOVE IT!
I would hate to have to go to the corner store with this.
Outstanding :)
This thing looks like a straight up DEATH TRAP. If you slipped off that seat it looks like you could fly forward right into that spinning wheel of DOOMSLICE!
Holy Lord that is awesome!!
Wonderful ! What a great idea!
Cool. It reminds me of that bubble car on the original Willy Wonka movie.
I admire the ingenuity that this guy had to build this doohickey, but I don't think it'll ever get off of the ground. This thing reminds me of those early 1900's attempts to build a flying machine and I can't help but imagine the builder wearing those old safety goggles and a cap and scarf. Nevertheless, this is pretty cool.
reminds me of what my great uncle did to his old beatle when it finally decided to rust out (not die but rust to the point where it couldn't be driven anymore)
instead of making some go cart out of what was left he turned it into a log splitter
THAT IS REALLY, REALLY COOL,
Daddy I want one for christmas!!
Next safetycar for NASCAR is born.
Oh wait, he turned of like a minutes ago 3:05 still going @ 4:05 That is Cool!
Thanks for sharing
