Great video. Thx.

Great video! Thx! Love the little guy.

My grandfather had two of them when i was younger and used them in the spring to pump sap(maple syrup)

Well done !!!

No boom hoses to replace easy work

Excellebt video. As a fellow collector and machinest i agree with you 100%. Good to see some younger folks that appreciate these engines and the culture they represent. Good job.

We rode it years ago, didn't realize it was coal fired. Very enjoyable ride.

I thought that is was converted to oil

ROFL, perfect usage

Stumbled across this video as I heal from back surgery I just wanted to say I like the video. I am now the retired Fire chief for springville township and the bridge was believed to be some local teens starting the fire. At least that's what went into my report listed as hearsay getting our trucks back there was interesting. Still love to go out there to just get away.

It's old but can still pull something with wheels on it. Should be able to get a few things done around the place now! 😃

Tractor the new daily driver? Lol

Looked like fun bud

My wife and I spent 5 hours sitting on the bow of that thing waiting for it to be fixed so we could go across the lake. Never got it fixed so we had to go to plan B on our vacation motorcycle trip. It was around 80 degrees.

Interesting about “hot rivets.” I’ll have to look and see if I can identify them.

A couple things the M&NE was the Manistee & Northeastern Ry., 2nd after the Pere Marquette merger with the Chesapeake & Ohio RR, the C&O also folded in the M&NE into its system.

We did that trip back in the 90s when I had family in the Milwaukee/Port Washington area. One time we tried the ferry just for something different and not to have to drive back through Chicago. It was great fun.

sadly, environmental wackos have killed natural resources in the USA

Cheap fuel. Would cost a fortune to run on oil.

Since 2016 or so the SS Badger no longer is allowed to dump coal ash in Lake Michigan and will be changing over to a different fuel source away from coal. It’s promising to see. The future is bright for the SS Badger . 😃Nice vid.

A awful polluter with many tons of coal ash disposed of in the lake!Good old Lake Michigan - source of all my drinking water!

Used to love watching them load and unload rail cars. Us kids put pennys on the track

Me and my brother took that in 1976 to see the U-505 in Chicago. The car ferry was inexpensive back then. We took my 75 Chevy Nova then but I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla now. I don't want to take the trip because it's not only expensive now, but my car is a stick shift and I wouldn't take the chance of a worker trying to drive it on board that doesn't know how to drive it.

Super cool! Never heard of her ,definitely an old school icon!

I remember as a kid walking to the light house in ludington in 73,74,75 and when the badger was going by we would jump up on the railing that ran center of the breakwater because of the wake I see there is no railing anymore

SS Spartan is used for parts.

I'd like to see how they fuel this time machine.

That dirty fueled antique should be permanently docked and used in some other way.

Very good video!!Did not realize that this boat was in service. What type of engines does it have? Are they steam turbines ?

Not everyone in Michigan likes that coal burning antique they been getting around the EPA rules for years I'm glad they quit dumping coal ashes in lake Michigan

$380 for 1 SUV and 3 people?! That seems like an eye-popping amount of money for a 4 hour ferry ride. Is that at least Round Trip? Can you take a round trip as a foot passenger (no vehicle) just for the boat ride?

I am sure you meant "SS" Badger. The prefix "USS" would imply that it is a U.S. warship.

I believe there are quite a lot of new Lister parts still available

Soak in Acetone and AtF

I've wanted a Lister for a while. Sadly, thanks to my wife's uncontrolled retail therapy, I most likely will never have one.😢

Good call not attempting to use the original filter system

A super 8

Well you tried. Glad you found a good home for it.

Looks like you need Vet gloves to work on big nasty !

Yessss, invested in this Lister! Can't wait to see it run. Awesome video man.

Awesome engines 🤠

Team diesel 👇

The model of Fairbanks 15/25 is really nice and very correct looking!! Hat's off to the builder!!👏🏻

For damn sure!

Just to clarify, this engine is between 70 and 80 years old. Ive owned it for a very short time and it doesnt run. Im not sure the last time the oil was changed.

I think we'll find out in 100 years when people treat our current stuff as antiques.

How old is the lifter? And you are now doing an oil change. Yeah, don't listen to him. The oil should have been changed every 3-5 years. Did you even warm up the lifter before you started the oil change?

Im right there with you. Even recent day high pressure 30hp belt driven crank pumps i run non detergent.

Ive had my 426 running on 10-40 for years now. When i stripped the head after flooding it, literally nothing was wrong, the valves, lifters, crank case, all were spotless except the water flooding 4 cylinders, im a firm believer on adding atf maybe 1/2-1qt every 3-5k just to help clean stuff out like that. I now have 170k miles on a 6.1 based 426 and have had no issues at all. Never even had to replace the pushrods or valves after the flood
