- [With Subtitles] I show you every step to fire up a steam engine. This took around 4 hours from Steam up, running , to steam down - all in a 30 min video. Be sure to turn on the closed captions for subtitles.
Technology from over 100 years ago was not as easy as today. You could not start it with a key. It took hours to get started or fired. From steam powered cars and trucks, to steam traction engines, and even steam locomotive trains. This is a 3/4 scale Case 65hp Steam Traction Engine.

I bed all Primitive Technology followers putted subtitles on directly. Nice video. Thanks.
Wish there was still steam powered things in modernized time, always cool
I think it's cool to
Aircraft Carriers & Submarines run on steam! But, of course, the heat from a nuclear reactor is what boils the water!!
About every powerplant uses steam to turn turbines which generate electricity, its still used.
First time I’ve seen someone clean the boiler tubes. Best overall demonstration how to start a steam engine. Thank you.
Thanks for the great comment!
I wonder if the manufacturer provided operators manuals back then!!

Every year after Midwest Old Threshers, I try and find someone to teach me all about what I see. This is the best one out there. Keep the stream vidyas coming!
You should attend Midwest Old Threshers "Steam School". You'll learn a lot and it's a fun weekend. Call them. Oh, and thanks for watching!
Love this so much!
Just found this page on here, keep watching that water level boys
This brings back memories. I used to help my dad fire one of these up and learned how to operate it. My Dad was a high pressure Engineer
That is awesome. Good memories
I have seen the complete video, magnificent work of both the lines or painted fillets, and the process of starting up the steam tractor machine, thank you for showing us how work days were started almost a century ago, to value the effort , ingenuity and determination of our ancestors, and respecting ourselves, upholding those important human values that were inherited. Greetings from San Luis Argentina!!!
I really didn’t appreciate the complexity in starting a steam engine until I watched this video. Very interesting, thanks for showing the intricacies so that future generations might also appreciate!
Thanks so much! Do you attend any steam engine shows?
My 90yr old friend had a 110 hp case by his barn in 1970 I asked him why was it left outside to rust to ruins he teared up and told me that was a most powerful beast but times had rendered her outdated and no one had time or money or knowledge to renovate her and he said it stays there while im alive kept his memories sharp to see it in person.. I saw on your channel the case 110 hp and all these years later im the one with tears in my eyes those were and are true majestic beasts.
The men who run and maintain those powerful machines are a rare breed great of you fellows to work so hard to keep the history alive..peace to you all have a good and productive 2024. PS. Marshall Campbell was the owner of the old retired CASE 110hp Steamer..
Great to see your son participating in such a practical task. Really a lost art mostly. I couldn't get a steam engine going, but wish I could.
Thanks for watching Jeff.
The machine looks phenomenal and the pinstripping looks great!
Thanks so much. The pin striping was a fun project
The Forward Visibility is horrible!!😜 Still...an amazing Machine!!
Great video. Filled in a few holes in my knowledge of how these machines work.
Thanks for watching
I had a book when I was a kid on how to start a steam engine. It got lost over tge years. I think your video was better then the book. Thank you.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
0:19 - introduction with rooster
very well done seams like a lot of work to mosey around the farm but well worth the effert thank you
Thank you for posting
Thank you for watching 😃
Beautiful ❤
a truly exellent video all stages of raising steam shown! the pin striping looks awesome!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The pin striping was very satisfying to paint by hand!
I stayed until the end! Great video and very informative, I learned a lot more abt steam tractors, I’ve always wanted to operate one!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you learned 😃. Next time you go to a Steam show, ask someone if you can help.
Well Done. Great camera work. The Inside , reverse camera, . Few Utubers do that.
Captions are. Good. Like Reading a Book an video together. Works for Me
Hi
Very nice!
That is a very cool and interesting engine! I like it.
Thanks Bill. It's listed on Aumann's Pre 30 auction
Yeah I stayed in the end, amazing videos,❤from France
Awesome! Thank you for the comment.
what a beautiful machine, the pinstriping is very well done! this was fun and instructive to watch, liked the bits of humor thrown in 👍
Интересно смотреть. А сколько км он проедет на одной заправке?
Thanks, pin striping it by hand was fun. I'm glad you caught the humor. 😆
Wonderfull machine..!
4:08 This noise just sounds like a song to me😅😅 4:21
A modern tractor pulling a old tractor.
New tractor: son
Old tractor: grandpa
magnificent video, very beautiful creativity from our great-grandparents of the time!, imagine the number of engineers who worked for this magnificent machine!, thank you for this magnificent video guys!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed watching as much as we enjoyed filming the process 😀
@@FarmAlarm merci infiniment.

Удивительная техника. Сколько времени уходит, чтобы прогреть этот двигатель?
Есть душа в этих аппаратах. И Магия Механики
Yes I turn on the captions and it was very well explained this is my cup of tea very done 😊
If this model were modified to include rubber wheels, a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic lifting device, it would be good, I think.
I have a wood heating stove, they tried so hard to get me to get rid of it, the assurance, the laws, but I didn't give up. Winter lasts for months where I live. And I have 100 acres of woodland, so I won't get rid of it anytime soon.
Phải cảm ơn nó, một cỗ máy tuyệt vời giúp nhân loại đạt được những thành tựu đầu tiên trong công nghiệp
❤nice one
Gran video amigo
Thanks friend
Great
Nice video 💯🎉❤
Thanks 💯
Super technology
I would love to own a share in a machine like that ❤❤❤
Very cool Tracy! It's crazy to think of how much work went into getting a tractor up to steam to do a day's work. I'm guessing farms back in the day had stand pipes or water towers around for re filling the boilers?
Thanks John. I couldn't even imagine. It was a job just getting going, let alone doing actual real work lol. They had tanks and water wagons. But they also pulled water from lakes and ponds. The boilers would get muddy in the bottom.
That my be true?
Great video I didn’t know how to either I guess if I Get a Steam Tractor I’ll know how to fire it
You can still download a service manual for this tractor that explains all the features and how to safely operate a steam tractor. 100 years ago, they still needed technical manuals.
sangat indah dan tenang suasananya
Cool Video.
Glad you enjoyed it
V nice.
If i get a time travelling M/C along with modern tractor, i would love to see the reaction of those days farmers.
Very,old,tractor,very,nice, 👍💞👍💞👍💞
🎉🎉 GOOD LACH
This is very interesting
Thanks
Молодцы мужики видно всей душой любят старинную технику
BIG old AIRPLANE ENGINES , The older you get, the more you love.......Seeing your video, I feel amazed and thank you for sharing this video and success always "Farm ........"....Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia

Marshal steam engine
Una belleza
Really cool! I've got a couple curious questions after watching this:
1) You mention that the steam tractor is efficient with its water usage. What's the range of this particular tractor? Range per gallon of water?
2) You mentioned as well that you grease up all bearings every time you start up. How much grease do you go through in a week?
> Where do you get your lubricating oil? Do you make it?
> Was there a reason you didn't use ball/roller bearings instead?
3) If the tractor wasn't a scale replica, are there any changes you would have made to the design for better efficiency or usability?
Traction engines are actually pretty inefficient with regards to water usage, by comparison to stationary or marine plants of the same era. Efficiency was traded for ease of use and repair, and also the environment in which they operated necessitated some trade offs. "Range" per gallon of water is all dependent upon how hard you're working then engine, but some general ideas for usage: A 75HP Case w/ the optional contractors bunkers has about 260 gallons of water storage (over what's already in the boiler). Working the engine steadily on a sawmill I'd expect to go through that in an hour or so?
Lubrication wise, you'd go through a tube a day if stationary, and probably two if ploughing. Worth noting that these would all be hand grease cups, so not grease guns, but you get the idea. Steam Cylinder Oil is readily available from a few companies still.
Never knew this thing would have that many metric fasteners
😆
And modern cars just need one startup by a key or button.. what an evolution..
yes,i like external combustion
lovely! But is that a new built steamer? Ive never seen that before? the plumbing and taps look like modern stuff. also curious why not use coal instead of wood, but I guess you'll say you got a lot of wood and no coal, right?
Yes I turned on captions
Thanks for watching Gabriel
น่าทึ่งมาก😮
Ligar essa máquina, é como cozinhar. Você não come até a água ferver. 😅
yes :)
Que lentitud para trbajar estos bago e
I wonder how much repairs cost on that steem tractor

Thank you!
I love watching this stuff but I can see why we don't use steam power much any more.
It's definitely a fun thing to learn. If you go to any Steam Engine Show, be sure to stop and talk to any engineer.
Can you imagine how easy it would be to start your wheat field on fire with one of these things on the prairie haha jeez. 5mph wind and those embers can end up anywhere
It can start with compressed air in the same engine.
такой автомобиль зимой можно использовать для отопления частного дома в сибири или на урале .а летом для движения и работы на земле огороде или поле в качестве трактора или грузовика с прицепом. а все иномарки фуфло когда нефть и газ будут кончаться придется опять к паровым двигателям возвращаться. паровозы это наше будущее и настоящее все остальное уходящее.
I have a question: Does the rear axle have any kind of differential action? Can one wheel be clutched for sharp turns?
Yes this machine has a differential axle
imagine, you need to quick getaway from the police but you only have this tractor as your getaway vehicle
Plot twist, the police have the same type of tractor as their police car. Then I still outrun them!
Hi, just watched your Blackberry video and have a ? so hopefully you will read this, nice video by the way. My canes that grew last year are probablt 15-20 feet, all over the palce. I am moving the plant and am afraid if I prune all those nice long canes, aren't I destroying a potential ton of berries? Berries form on last years canes so if I prune them down to 5 ft, I am loosing 10 ft of potential harvest....I am kinda confused! Thanks so much, T
I have several blackberry videos. Which exact one did you watch? Asking because I have others that will explain your question.
Dry tamrack would be good fire wood
How long will the boiler full of water last
Bagus amat
Um dia de trabalho so pra ligar
Pin Striping nice touch "Bling Bling".,.
Very Historical.
FunvFactc Wilesco, Jensen,Mamond Made an make pretty much working Steam Toy Models for many years, basically the twin of this Tractor.
I'm a rc glow,foam plane pilot. . Gettin into a bit of steam , Will get one day Wilesco, German made. Has the chains as yours does.
Hey thanks. I think the pin striping really set it off 😃
I have some toy steam engines too. A few that you mentioned. I always enjoyed rc cars a a kid. I bet rc planes are a blast. I've been flying drones for about 6 years. I enjoy my dji drone. But I learned on cheap non-gps drones, and they were fun, because you Actually had to fly that! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Yes Have several 100 MPH + Foam elec planes. Drones are The Thing now.. Full scale Steamers as yourself are recording our beginnings after horses. Keep Going with Steam videos.
Regards Captain John
How much run time until it is out of water ..... gallons per minute ?
السلام عليكم هذه الاله جميله
Steam is so quiet compared to diesel tractors
No wonder they were called contraptions.

I have a fowler tiger tractor traction engine
Es un ritual, poner a rodar el abuelo.
I am surprised that the engineers got the engine running on a low steam pressure
How long did it take if you know?
Well done video - two questions: (1) Despite this being a new boiler, it appears that your firebox stays aren't drilled; what was the reason for that; and (2) Was the chain-drive due to a worn or missing drive train components, or?
What is that valve on flywheel side of boiler that was letting water out as you turned that valve
What timestamp in the video?
@@FarmAlarm @ 13:38
Water purge through the prv perhaps?
Most likely till saturated steam was to the prv?
Hello friends, I want a motor like this. How much does it cost? Any help?
E Prabhujisu mere sasurji hospital me h prathana kijea ki woh sahi salamat ghar aaye
How long does it take from cold to Hot and running? By the way this is the 100th comment 😊
Why new style water valves? I'd think you'd want the authentic valves on this.
Que ejemplo pa los gurise
NGL this thing would be survived on EMP blast😊
Or it might even cause one
Also a single cylinder isnt as efficient as a dual crank compound steam traction engine like a j&h mclaren
This is in the pre-30 auction now isn't it?
Yes it is
@@FarmAlarm How come you decided to sell it? It looks like you both were having a ball!
We were definitely having fun. I have too many tractors and too many projects. So time to start selling.
Wow
🥰🥰💗💗😍😍
coal fired or wood?
Wood fired
