- A single-cylinder or a thumper is a unique layout as a single piston has to do all the job itself. That's normal in small engines, but what if you put only a single-cylinder into a large engine?

Anybody who finds these a song to his/her ears? Well, I do, mainly those large hot-bulb tractor engines
The Landini L25 here in Italy is known to be called as "Testa Calda" (hot head) due to the hot temperature required to ignite the fuel
If you ask me, my favorite tractor engine is that of the British tractor known as the Field Marshall. It is similar to the hot bulb engine, but the combustion plug is a smoldering piece of wick paper.
sounds like a pig with sterioids
i love it
Here in the Netherlands they put those hot bulb engines in small rowboat sized tug boats. Search for "opduwer"
this 1 cylinder engine also makes beatiful music

4:50 .. owners manual: make sure engine is completely running before removing this piece.
That's the interesting fact about it: you crank the engine with the steering wheel!
that absolutely terrifies me
Valentine My dad has vintage „Traktoren“ for his whole life and I grew up with them, starting and driving them from a very young age.
Thinking back I would never let my own children crankstart these engines, but my dad thought it was a good idea..
If you're used to doing this, you feel compression occur and take the wheel out on time.
The guy who starts this Bulldog is doing it wrong in so many points... In my opinion it is a bad example to show the Lanz.
I love single cylinder engines because they are so smooth, refined and balanced. Perfect for high end luxury cars.
Oh yes
Lol
Fr
Actually they”re neither . its just the low rpm makes you think so.
Say wuuut
6:20 when you're out for a late night cruise and you feel like waking up you're neighboors
Try to drive this somewhere and the cops will probably show up because someone thought it was gunfire lol
LOL
Laughed so hard at this
That thing is fucking hilarious!!!!
we've got tons of tractors like this at home xD happy neighbours
Visoracer, as a proffesor in mech. eng., I appreciate your great survey on ICE literature and videos. Thanks for your great contribution!
I appreciate it, thanks!
As a student of the field, it really is fascinating and entertaining.
On the topic of huge (and old) single cylinder engines: our university has exposed one of their old Otto 4 stroke engines. The thing is almost as old as the university itself (and the building it resides on, and we have classes as well), 100+ years old on that.
Sure you are, buddy, shame you can't even spell "professor".
MasterBata Engineers never have great spelling. We don’t really care. It’s all about the numbers.
I love the ones with open designs. It’s so satisfying to watch the massive flywheels spin, cams turn and the cranks turning
Funny fact about those Landini tractors: they didn’t have reverse gear, to drive backwards they simply let the engine spin down until the right time, then turned the fuel injection on right before top dead center, so that it would kick the engine over to run the other way. The problem with that was: if you were going up a steep hill at wide open throttle, and let the engine slow down too much, it would pre-detonate and suddenly change direction and go wide-open throttle down the hill backwards
Interesting factoid... thanks!
So similar to a snowmobile
Some modern 2 stroke snow mobiles have used the same method to reverse without the need of using gear...
I saw that happen to a road tractor with a Detroit Diesel. The driver almost stalled it pulling out on a hill, then he kept revving the engine harder harder each time to try and pull out. However, the engine was running backwards and each time the truck went faster and farther backwards. When I saw exhaust coming out of the air intake, I told him to shut it down and restart it.
Also had it happen many times on my 1974 Husqvarna 450. Scared the hell out of me first time it did it. Almost sent me down a steep hill backwards. After I figured out what was happening though, I'd just ride it in reverse awhile while my buddies jaws dropped. It would at some point go back forward without missing a beat. Crazy!
When you machine your piston with an angle grinder. 😆👍
yeah i wonder what the acceptable clearances and tolerances are for that engine, probably half an inch lol
Looked like he welded a crack or something to me just grinding down bead
Better than a hammer and chisel.
@@captainfancypants4933 Hahaha... But seriously... he was just grinding the top. So the piston rings etc. were left untouched. But funny to think you could run this engine even on vegetable oil or butter. :D
If I remember right, James Watt was happy and mentioned in his diary that piston and cylinder were so tight fitted that you can not put penny coin between them.
I just want to say, despite the fact that English is clearly a second language for you, you do a very good job with these voiceovers (but I still appreciate the subtitles!).
Thanks for your effort in making this content. 👍
Nothing gives me the chills more, than seeing an old Lanz hopping at idle. Seeing them on the Road, especially on steep hills, that is just majestic! Its like the Jurassic-Park of machines.
Tyranosaurus Deutz!

"Yeah its got big cams in it"
Imagine they were this big...
"valve lash??" "I would say +- 10 mm it's okay"
Each of those cams might rip my hands to pieces...
Ill put that cam in my ls
the engines/tractors/ cars/motorcycles which where built back in those days are much more interesting to me than products from today. a very good video. thank you!
Gernot : Absolutely !
Fun fact: the Landini L25 took 30 minutes to start
Thats why lada still makes the niva, because its more reliable then an modern off-roader problably
That gargantuan wheel spinning that fast is absolutely terrifying.
Imagine throwing a rod on one of these...
5:56 how old Super Mario looks on this video
So old that he decide to be a mechanic 😂
LOL
I had to look, that was hilarious
Nah, it's Scruffy from Futurama...
Jesus Christ, could you imagine getting whacked by the flywheel spokes on that last engine!!
Lol I always wondered the same with all those moving parts how people didn’t get hurt on the regular.
@osp80 well yes
Or fall into the crank counterweights.....OMG!!!!
imagine that flywheel getting loose….
@@derbruzzler7574 I used to work at an airport, as a trainee electrician. We had big generators that had 3 tonne flywheels. I was _told_ (apocryphal?) that a flywheel had escaped and just kept turning at right-angles every time it hit a wall and basically destroyed its powerhouse building.

I wanna throw my cousin into it. 😳
There is something special about big one lungers... I love the 750cc single in my Suzuki atv. Amazingly smooth and bulletproof!
Yo, this is one of your best videos! Historical mechanical equipment is so much more interesting than most modern stuff........IMHO.
It brings back memories of my BSA 441 Victor motorcycle I had back in the early 70's. I loved that bike, mostly for the unique sound of the "one-lunger engine". There's something oddly satisfying about the sound a single cylinder engine makes.
Got a BMW F650. It has a pretty short stroke Rotax 650cc engine. Sounds great, even as a civilised road bike, with huge airbox and enormous kat included muffler.
6:14 sounds like a dad's LADA.
Thanks for another exciting and informative episode Mr. Racer! :)
8:00 that is a whole lotta inertia in those flywheels. Holy...
That sidecar outfit was splendid. Chuffing off down the road firing every second lamp post - that's the way to travel in style.
Wohoo loved it, man keep uploading good stuffs

Again thanks. I don't know how you do it, but keep up the great work, and finding such fascinating topics.
4:48 That looks like it got real exciting real fast! Worlds fastest turning steering wheel.
What the hell is happening
@@ryanfisher6402 Those old hot-bulb Lanzs used the steering wheel to provide a manual way start the engine. You'd use a blow torch to heat the "hot bulb" part of the cylinder head next to the fuel injector and once it was hot enough to light the fuel, you rock it back and forth with the steering wheel against the cylinder compression to get the injector to fire, hopefully getting the engine running in the right direction. You can see him pull the manual injection lever as its rocking back and forth to get it to finally start in the right direction. Obvious problem is once it starts you have to retrieve the now rapidly spinning steering wheel, especially if the governor is not set up quite right and the engine runs on a bit faster than it should, which is what happened here.
That was so cool! I didn’t know they made single cylinder engines like that. They have such a unique sound!
Mate thanks so much for sharing I absolutely love old tractors and big old engines like these. Great job. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
the DR800 sounds so chilling an relaxing...... love 1cyl bikes
As always, you made a great video! Keep going!
05:29 That Fairbanks Morst NB 15-25 is the coolest, most badass tractor I have ever seen. Period. I love it!
Holy Shit !!!! I didnt even know such big single cylinders existed !! Thank you for this video, it was so exciting to watch these big single bangers in action !! So satisfying
3:45 LMAO at that thing bouncing up and down! thats awesome!
There's just something about hearing these engines that brings a tear of happiness to my eyes.
One thing can be certain:
They have more torque than your Supra
The big ones could easily squish my Miata too!
Then again, if you are free to choose gearing, horse power is what really matters. These things are all down below 50 HP. That is about where the VW bug was on power.
Yeah but can you imagine driving around town in a SUpra with that "under" the bonnet????
Ken Smith there is a multiplication of hp to rpm, that’s why an engine that makes 20 horsepower at 60 rpm produces around 25000 ft/lb of torque or around 300 times the amount of a Volkswagen Beetle,
@jayaditya t no. gearing is what matters. you can make a low hp high tq engine run with high revving high hp, low rpm engines, just with gearing.
amazing i loved it , thanks !
My go kart sounds like a dirt bike, my dirt bike sounds like a street bike, oh yea well my tractor sounds like cannon fire.... 🤪
So cool ! love your videos
Wow those are amazing!

Kult is cult
@@vHindenburg makes no sense
landini ❤❤❤ btw they made bigger displacement tractors too their biggest one was the 40hp with
a 14.327 cc engine and the l55 was the most powerful with 60hp.
the biggest displacement hot bulb engine tractor was the UT5 made by the italian bubba with 2 pistons 23 000 cc and 50 hp
nah, the DR Bigs are notorious to have valve clearance issues relatively early among other things, there is a reason why despite the bike being marketed directly to independent Dakar racers, the issues scared most racers away
I am ver blessed to have witnessed machines as these just after the war when they were still in use. No planned obsolescence back then.
Me encantan estas máquinas rudimentarias... Tiene un encanto especial. Un saludo y gran video!
I love The awesome power of the big hit and miss engines. Real muscle machines!
There is a couple of swedish brands that Built many sizes of hot bulb engines used as stationary engines or marine aplications, can name a couple, Skandia, seffle, beijer, Bolinder munktell. Great video!
Always cool and getting cooler...
That last engine is fecking disturbing...
The whole moving assembly is terrifying, the energy in those flywheels, the counter-weights... I mean imagine it letting the rod or crank go!
The forces trying to pull those flywheels apart is horrifying, one casting imperfection and BOOM!
Amazing how that single cylinder Detroit still has the very distinct sound that all Detroits make.
Our family textile mill in the north of Scotland was powered via overhead shafting from the late 1920's by a single cylinder Shanks diesel producing 80HP. It was a licence built Deutz engine and replaced the earlier Tangye producer gas engine. It also ran a 175V DC generator providing lighting power for the mill and my grandfather's house, until the arrival of mains electricity in 1938.
The thing at 6.20 is my all time favorite. It's like a half dead monster in a cave that should have died a century ago, but refuses to give up. Sometimes it takes dysfunctional strolls, and tries at the same time to wake up the continent. Just to prove that it still has some powers.
Fabulous. We worked at a remote house and we had to generate 3 phase electricity to test our development. We used a 550cc single cylinder diesel engine,it was hard work to turn over and ran with a surge surge noise.
Great machines, the last one was best :)
Thanks for this! really interesting! Levi in sweden
I love the old Lanz Bulldog tractors. They were sort of a combination tractor/car/pickup for a lot of European countries for many years. Quirky to start, but they lasted almost forever. A lot of them that had been parked are being restored these days.😉👍
The traktors at 4:40 - 5:00 are not idling at 350rpm, but it was the max rpm.
idling is around 100-120rpm maybe even lower.
Single cylinders and especially hit and miss single cylinders have a special place in my heart
In Argentina there was a tractor called IAME Pampa it was a single piston engine, with a displacement of 4000cm3, my grandfather told me that it had 50hp, and rev up to 800rpm, the engine was horizontal. It was fabricated in the 50's.
You didn't even mention Rustons. They made a range from singles up to 6 cylinder parallels I believe.
When I first left school I worked at a local sawmill that had a large twin Ruston powering the breast bench and the skid winch. If you were a little late getting to work (which I often was) you would see twin smoke rings about half a meter in diameter from the engine as it started up.
It was amusing to wait until the sawyer on the breast bench had a heavy cut going and then load up the skid winch. Man didn't that engine just knuckle down and grunt as the governors opened up.
Later during my apprenticeship I worked on a single cylinder Ruston which, from memory, had a 18" piston and a 36" stroke with a 6' flywheel. Both were compressed air start.
The engine hadn't been running for 10 or 15 years and we had to get the engine running again as it had been sold and the new owner wanted it running before moving it. We had borrowed a small Petter single cylinder stationary engine to run the compressor and when all was ready John the mechanic opened the valve to turn the engine over. Now the shed the engine was in was pretty run down and the area where the compressor and air valve was had no roof. Added to that was the exhaust pipe that ran from about waist height down under the floor for about 4 feet then up through the roof. Unbeknown to us was that 6" exhaust pipe was half full of black sooty slimy water. When the engine turned over there was a hiss and a roar followed by a gurgling sound on the exhaust stroke. All that compressed air blew that mess straight out the exhaust pipe, into the air, where it promptly fell back down onto the roof. Except there wasn't a roof over the compressor, which also happened to be where John was standing. Needless to say John ensured that a large portion of this mess didn't sully the floor. I just about had a fit I was laughing so much. He just stood there with slime dripping off his glasses.
Ahh the old “don’t drive up hill forwards”
Nobody will ever get exited over an electric motor in 100 years. Great video.
Do a search for 100 year old 300 hp soft start and be prepared to be amazed at the skill back then.
Or this one. czcams.com/video/fNuI6keQXYA/video.html To reduce starting current, the stator is actually mounted on bearings. When started, the stator comes up to speed. no load. The big brake band around the stator slows it down and the magnetic field starts turning the armature, till the armature is up to speed and the stator is stationary.
Fascinating historical view of power!
I've got a Suzuki LS650 with a single cylinder 652cc engine. They sound so good, especially when you put on an after market exhaust.
In the 1980's, we found an old Deutz one lunger deep attached to an air compressor in an old mine in southern British Columbia. We scooped out and replaced the old diesel and oil, blew in some ether and the thing started without any problems. The mine had been abandoned in the late 1930s.
Within a couple of minutes, the drift filled with exhaust. We think it must have had a very long exhaust pipe to the surface.
Great machines.
One thing you got to love about those old engines is you can change the valve lift with duct tape and a matchbook cover. Love those old engines like that. People think we are smarter now than we used to be, quite frankly I wonder. Look at the amazing stuff that was built prior to CNC machines and computers. Back when a machinist couldn't just go buy his cutter but needed to hand grind it and people had to do all the calculations by hand.
HAHA, I love my motorcycle thumper :) Gotta love all these videos from Australia
Having been in the stationary engine community for awhile: glad to see fairbanks on the list but there are many others to list here. there is a reason there is a large following of collectors of these Huge heavy engines: they are pleasing to run, and listen to and there is an insane verity in makes models, sizes and designs.
That shutter sync on that final engine was pretty cool
That last one with the crank zooming around was terrifying... all that mass ... 😮
I love how that guy on the bison is tucked at like 20 mph
I love it how on the last shots, of last engine on this list, we can clearly see how RPM changes a little after each combustion. Thank to synchro of FPS and RPM of flywheel.
Good old CCD sensor cameras. Much more difficult with the rolling shutter of today's cheaper CMOS cameras.
The last engine runs at the WMSTR show and the speed at the end is sped up by the person that took the video. It normally runs at the rpm at the beginning. Its piston is bigger than a 55 gal. oil drum.
The best thing about these old engines, they sound real good without silencers.👌👌👌
Grampa has a superlandini. Craziest thing ever. I love it
Did you know that going “balls out” is in reference to the governors on those large engines that swing little balls around to control engine speed.
👍.
Primitive governor
Cool, I love those kind of facts. "The whole nine yards" supposedly referres to shooting the whole nine yards of the standard supplied machine gun belt in some old machine gun, I don't remember which. Think I got It from Forgotten Weapons channel. I Guess "going balls deep" is something different...
This is also why some people say "Balls to the wall."
@@skylinefever "balls to the wall" is different from "balls out". "Balls to the wall" refers to the balls on top of the throttle levers in airplanes pushed all the way to the firewall (or instrument panel). At least that's how I heard it.
Here in East Texas, I've seen odd looking single cylinder horizontal engines that appear to have been cobbled together using oil field pipe and steam engine parts. They were 2 strokes and were fueled by the oily natural gas that came up with crude in the local wells. Was told those spun generators that powered electric lights so they could drill at night and later on, kept the jack pumps nodding away.
Those are still being made and used, there were several brands with Ajax being popular in a couple of variations. DeLavall engines as well.
Ajax compressor. czcams.com/video/r1mh--RET18/video.html
@@ricknelson7824 There's a company in my county that's been assembling natural gas compressors on skids for 30 years or more. Theirs are set in oil fields to push the separated NG back down into the deposit and are quite elaborate. The old ones I've seen were crude in construction with no name plates.
Love the engineering of these old engines
these engines are still more quiet than some of the cars that go down my street
Recently I’ve gotten so obsessed with engines. Thanks for scratching my engine itch lol
