- This video is to fulfill the request of one of the engine's biggest fans! With it being raw and uncut, this won't be the most interesting for everyone, but it pretty well shows the startup process and has a long run time. I will post a more detailed video of start up, running and information at a later date. Video taken during the 2020 Tristate Gas Engine and Tractor Show, in Portland, Indiana.
It runs so well and cleanly compared to other videos of similar engines, great job.
Would love to see it under a load
Sweet!! I don't think it could have sounded any better 90 years ago. There are not many things more satisfying than a successful start up, after tons of work to get to that point.
This engine sure does run sweet still.
nice it doesn't miss a beat
absolutely beautiful
This is like Blue Man Group on speed!!!! Sounds awesome. I just LOVE these old stationary engines especially the big Fairbanks Morse ones! Just remember this old lady has been running well over 100 years!👏👏👏👏👏👍
Really nice way to feature an engine running - thanks.
LOVE old engines like these!
Now that’s a video Dusty
Todd was smiling the whole time
Thank you sooo much
My pleasure!
Sad they dont make Them more mutc Better then new engine
Amasing old engine running so smotje and start so easy.
That sound.... O M G.... Thank you bro !
I prefer watching the Fairbanks-Morse run instead of watching the evening program on TV.
What a beautiful sound
You have to be a engineer just to start it but what a beutiful sond . So smooth .
This video seems to have done you pretty well when it comes to views and subscriptions, like dang 50 subs in 3 days. Looking at some other Channels that just started seems like you could do really well, good luck
A voice over explaining the startup incantation would have been useful.
It would be neat to build a shed around one of these things and use it as a homestead go generation system. Run it on waste cooking oil, biodiesel or thinned used and filtered crankcase oil.
I will do a video with an in depth explanation of how it all works hopefully this spring.
Line up the flywheel to the correct position to put the #1 cylinder just past TDC. Fill the oil box, as it's a total loss oil system, and will need to be kept topped up everytime it runs. Manually lube all other external moving parts. Pull fuel injector handle repeatedly to build fuel pressure and to prime the fuel system. Turn on the compressed air, to get engine rolling. Shut air off when engine fires. There is a check valve in the cylinder that the compressed air goes into, that will prevent a combustion event from feeding back through the air-line. To shut engine off, pull the throttle handle back, that overcomes the governor and won't let the mechanical fuel injector pump send any more fuel into the engine.
Old engines are cool.
An engine that is designed to run for decades, not minutes like dragster and other racing engines. 120 hp with a whole lot of torque
The formula for calculating torque I found estimated over 4,000 ft/lbs.
@@dustyworking7585 wow what a monster
@@dustyworking7585 Less than that.... I'm not sure what the 2 cylinder version put out for torque, but the 3 cylinder version output 3670ft-lbs, so this one would obviously be about a third less.
At approx every 2.2 years (20,000 hours) of continuous service, the engines had to be torn down and have bearings replaced. Every 4.5 years (40,000 hours), the bearings again, and piston pins, needed to be replaced. The pistons in these engines were VERY tall, and HEAVY.
Ein Kunstwerk super👍👍👍
I can’t believe how empty Portland is on Saturday now! I remember going to the Show as a kid in the 1980s and Saturday was so packed that you couldn’t hardly turn around.
Are you going to try to find a pulley and clutch for your Fairbanks like the 1923 model 100hp that they start at 10am, 1pm and 4pm?
I love these old Fairbanks engines. Yours sounds good! I’m planning on being there at the Show this August in 2022! 😃
Perfeito parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏
Wow!
Just needs enough fuel to keep it rolling. The flywheel does all the work.
The fuel does all the work, to keep the flywheel rolling.
Did this engine happen to be bought from a guy named Jim Mann from kentucky? My Dad had Jim’s just like this one in our shop for a number of years and started to do work to it. I’ve got pictures of it and some of the work Dad was doing. When we moved in 1999 Jim came and got it and we never knew what became of it. Yours looks just like it. Thanks for sharing the video
Esse motor antigo é muito top
whats the sound at the beginning of the video? are there more engines running?
Yes, I took the video on the last day of the Tri-State show in Portland, IN.
Still probably more quiet than that one dude in a honda civic at 2am
👍
🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏
So what were/are they used for?
They were put to service in a wide variety of applications over the years. This one came off a pumping station on an oil pipeline in West Virginia over 50 years ago. They can still be found in service in municipal electric plants as backup generators and in flood plane pumping stations.
@@dustyworking7585 Thanks for that, I had wondered about sawmills or factory power plants. Wonderful to see people keeping them alive.
Hi
More tinkering !
How neat!!! How does one come across finding one of these engines? Old Factories or something I suppose? I may know of one that's been for sale for awhile out of an old factory here in Michigan. Btw what's the lowest rpm on one of these? could it be used to power something still today?
I found this one in a guy's yard. Sadly the number of these setting around decreases when scrap prices go up. I suppose you can run it in the 50 rpm range if you try hard enough. You could power any number of things with it, but I'm not sure what might need that much power other than a generator.
@Dean Allender Too massive! haha.
@@dustyworking7585 These were used alot for agricultural and mining for water pumping applications. I'm guessing old sawmills and such would have used versions of these also.
@@dustyworking7585 how consistent is the rpm? could be nice for a machine shop
Do these engines have valves?
It is a 2-stroke, so no valves in the head. They do have a valve that works like a reed valve on the side of the block.
@@dustyworking7585,
Interesting, thanks for the reply!
I'm interested in possibly owning a FM, where should I look?
@@jacknedry3925 These big ones come for sale every now and again. I've seen them on ebay, facebook, smokstak and other websites. Swap meets and shows are typically the best bet finding just about any brand and size engine a person could want they are just a less predictable on what you can find, but that's part of the fun.
@@dustyworking7585,
What cylinder count is most common?
@@jacknedry3925 I would say the 2 cyl. is the most common. They are the ones I have heard of the most. The single and two cyl. ones would obviously be the easiest to transport, but they built them all the way up to a 6 cyl.
Kaha h ye engine aur kitne m mill sakta h
They are found in old factories, city electricity plants, flood and irrigation pump houses, etc.
what is the fuel consumption?
It’s a diesel standby motor, probably very little consumption at all. It’s just idling, I wouldn’t use this for any work hardly at all, maybe to just drive a small pump but that’s about it.
@@michaelbenoit248 would be cool to run a gen head
Not much more than modern diesels maybe 200g/h per 1kW.
Idling, it uses only about 4 gal/hr with me throttling it up and down every few minutes to blow smoke rings. I will try to see if the manual estimates fuel consumption at rated.
@@dustyworking7585 it would be cool if you made it run a gen head. hell it would power your whole home! and it would be cool. only one ever made
Video fatto male
Ew
Boring nothing exiting
Bye 👋
