  • Hey All,
    I'm finally back with a full length resurrection video! I bought this engine in 2023 and literally saved if from going to the scrap yard. Was it a good save, will I be able to get it to run again? Watch the video to find out!!!!
    THIS VIDEO IS NOT NARRATED AND IS DIFFERENT FROM MY REGULAR CONTENT, THANKS

    Very nice! I love listening to those engines run. Its a comforting sound to me. On the farm when I was a boy, I could here one on the pump jack running 24/7. It produced all the natural gas to power the irrigation motors and lots more. So long as it was cared for, it ran and was very rarely shut off. We kept parts on hand for repairs and it was never down for long. It ran on the natural gas so it didnt carbon up. It was perfect for that application.

    I am very impressed. We had one just exactly like this one - and in the same degree of neglect. Where I grew up had been an old farm and this was just sitting out in the woods. My father brought it in to tinker with it. He called it: "a one-lunger," but he didn't want to put in the amount of work that you did here. This was over 60 years ago, so it wasn't old enough then to be an "antique," but not new enough to be worth saving, so it sat outside until I left for college in 1971. What happened to it after that I have no idea. So, it was great to see this one actually working! Thanks!

      I wonder about who taught this guy the proper way to use hand tools. Using a crescent wrench (backwards) instead of a box end wrench. I couldn’t get a good look at his knuckles, probably doesn’t have any left. I’m sorry but, I was taught the proper use of tools and watching his work ethic grates a little.

  • @ghost6500

    Excellent job in getting the engine running again! Now... you have to disassemble it completely, clean and polish everything, sandblast, steam clean, paint all the outside, measure everything with the right tolerances, and reassemble, and will look and work like a brand-new engine! keep up the good work! Don't forget to do the same thing for the 4-wheeled cart!

    I grew up in an oil field town, listening to these engines at night. Later I worked on engines just like this, only the flywheel was about six feet in diameter. They ran on well head gas from a copper tube from the well head, and were started with your foot and arms. Take the spark plug out and squirt a little gasoline in and they would start up easily. The only reason they were shut off was to work on the well.

    I’ll say when I work in my own shop on my antique engines and equipment it sounds very much like this video does, and most times it’s relaxing to just wrench on something and not explain every detail. Really in my honest opinion if their watching for education and they have a question or concern they WILL ask you. People that just watching for entertainment aren’t here to learn anything.

    Mate, some of your tools are positively ancient. That lathe is best of all it's so beautiful, and the drill press is second only to the lathe and that old pressure thingy works so well without the aid of pneumatics. It's lovely to see a guy who respects old machines in use and fixing, but can also combine modern tools as well. A great restoration video using some tools themselves restored. It was very pleasant watching you restore this old engine back to use, using some tools not far removed from the engine itself. A really great restoration video using some wonderful old tools. Cute doggy to.
