I really don't think there is anything mechanical that Jonathan cannot fix or attempt to fix. Great mechanical mind. I always enjoy watching his latest postings.
My name is Davy,I'm 76 years old. I have mechanic most of my life. I still dabble. I love your videos and I continue to learn from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you, hope you have continuous good health.
When you first started working on steam engines, I wondered what attracted you to them but as the videos kept coming i got more interested in them. This video really struck a chord with me because this engine was found in Punxsutawney, PA, about 20 miles from where i grew up. I can believe that this engine was used at a sawmill because there were a lot of lumber mills in that area in the '50s thru 70's. Steam engines are a perfect fit for sawmills, the first cut waste, bark, sawdust, etc. would provide endless free fuel for the mill.
Given me the old engine bug Jonathon, just acquired a 1027 Anderson Oil Engine manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand! Took a bit of work to load it, bloody heavy!😂 My son and I have got it running like a top, its great! Thanks mate 👍
So interesting to see you get these old engines running. You have such a great mechanical mind and can fabricate anything from a part for a model T to a steam engine.
In 1978, I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB, SD. The missile system there was the oldest system that had not been upgraded to the newer system, and was not going to be upgraded anytime in the near future. The problem with this was that many of the parts for equipment were no longer available. That included gaskets. Fortunately, I had been taught gasket making from the time I was working in a garage at age 10 on. My future Father-in-Law helped refine my skills and when I joined the Air Force, they got a serious workout! We all collected manila folders and cereal boxes and tablet backs. They were the best for thicker gaskets. After I transferred out of that shop to another, I got "borrowed" once a week to school the new troops on gasket making for the next six months or so. Anytime they had a major shop staff change, back I went. Seeing you make the gaskets brought back a lot of good memories with my Father-in-Law, the garage I helped at, Ellsworth AFB, and others that I taught the old skill of "gasket making."
Man your channel just gets better and better! I had no idea that steam engines were still being produced in this country at so late a date. I figured that steam engine production ended in the late '50's.
JW you have nothing to be ashamed of, you are doing a great service for Americas history and these old unloved machines breathing LIFE back into them!! Keep up the good work!!
I do miss your gas/diesel videos, but I ready admire that you follow your passions and use that to educate yourself and be in a position to pass that knowledge on to others and possibly start someone else on the path you’ve taken. Thanks bud.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Nearly unbelievable and highly impressive! Very well done again and as always (video and work). Another great steam engine saved by the Ingenious steam engine whisperer. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Sorting out all those parts, making gaskets, assembling, test running just amazing as always. Wishing my father - mechanic and steam fan - were still here to see you do all this. More power to you. Sincere Thanks.
I really love these old engines, and see them being saved. I've just got my first camelback drill press working again, after it had been laying in a field for 25 years, and gonna pick another one up this weekend. Have to be working on something old and rusty.
Another awesome video Jonathan! :) It makes me so happy to see you bring these engines back to life. While this particular engine is much younger than the others that you have saved, it is still satisfying to see it working.
You have made my day Jonathan! I'm grinning and laughing because I'm so happy. You're the best mechanical wizard on RUclips bar none! ( Mustie, eat your heart out )
Fantastic! Showing us the Soule in the condition it arrived, diagnosing what it needed. Then watching it kick off running! Very satisfying. Forward and reverse! She's a runner!
Awesome work thank you for sharing your talents and teaching me. Really good that you keep records of the engines for people in the future. And I just want to say you can't go anywhere for 100 years at least it will take you that long to share your knowledge. 🙏 I do hope to meet you sometime and personally shake your hand and say thank you for teaching me
that's great work, it certainly just sounds like the valves aren't seating properly, a few hours running would probably work wonders, to make a running engine from a pile of bits left for decades is wonderful and it's a piece of history
The other day a friend told me that I was born to late , and I believe that you were also , but somebody had to be born later to keep ‘Em running . God Bless you and your family . PS keep ‘Em chugging !!!
Like a kid in a candy store with all of your steam engines. Just like a papa with all of his children. You should have been a railroad engineer during the age of steam. Congratulations, just think, before they came to you, the best that they could've hoped for was to become yard art. Keep up with the incredible videos.
Dude.... Jonathan.... That's just pure Awesomeness!! Incredible episode!! I don't always comment but I really enjoy your videos, I get excited watching, waiting to see each engine run, especially the ones that are total basket cases when the video starts or when you first become their caregiver. You're such an Awesome custodian for these incredible pieces of American history.
Absolutely, positively love to watch this RUclips channel. Jonathan is a straight shooter who has one of the best work ethics of just about anyone I’ve watched!!
Johnathan, you amaze me. I love steam engines and I love Tom see them running. You sure spend the time on bringing them back to life. I live in Stanly County. Would love to come for a visit someday if that is allowed. Keep up.the great work! Greg
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺. I volunteer at a historical pioneer village we have a lot of steam engines and vehicles it's great to see how steam engines operate so we can improve how we can restore our displays. Regards from Australia 🇦🇺
That was really nice to watch. Your expertise is amazing. This is really nice that these engines are being preserved. It is simple, strong and darn near indestructible. It would be interesting to see it hooked up to a winch.
The head gasket on my air compressor went out about a year back. Just for kicks I tried a piece of cereal box. It's still working. My Father used lots of pizza, cereal, and beer boxes for gaskets. We don't have money but we have half a brain and creativity.
Jonathan thank you for this video I always enjoy watching whatever you're working on because you have a propensity for explaining everything in detail. Thank you very much.
I bet those rods are made oversize to be able to reuse the bushing with only having to have them bored out. The pits on the pins will give a place for better lubrication. Enjoyed watching. Keep the steam videos coming.
Dear David E. Johnathan W. mentioned for instance saw mill carriages. There is still one fully operational steam driven sawmill in North America. If I remember correctly it's called Phillips brothers sawmill (some fascinating videos about it on utube). Best regards luck and health.
Thank you Jonathan W ,I admire your video,s ,it's great to see you bring back to life these greatest contrabution,s to the industrial age , Fascinating 👍👍😃😁😎🇦🇺
Interesting to learn about these type of engines. I don't know if I would ever had gotten interested in them by other ways but well, Jonathan makes it interesting somehow. Thanks!
1981 , That's over 40 years ago when I was young something 40 years old seemed really old , now I have to review my perception of things that had not been built yet when I was young. Thanks Johnathan for preserving so many pieces of history and reminding us of things of our past . Some day I hope to visit your place when it's open to visitors. God bless you Johnathan.
That was extraordinary! With minimal parts and repairs, this engine is coming along nicely. Made in Pennsylvania? Cool, that would be the second engine from my home state. Never knew that.
79 years old and did something very similar recently with a 1931 Model A Ford engine. My brother acquired it in 1964 as a basket case in a truck load of Model A engine parts. A 1929 engine, a 1931 engine and parts for a third engine less block. Stored under houses and in backyard sheds since. Picked it up in March of this year, had the 31 engine running again Mid July. (See "The Dearborn Granny" playlist on my channel) Only problem so far seems to be the modern carb rebuild kit for the zenith carburetor. Seems like the needle and seat isn't working very well. ;o( Jonathan, you have assembled quite the "equipment" yard there in a pretty short time!!! Especially, when you consider you are still working full time!! Congrat's, job well done!!! Stay healthy and ENJOY!!! 👍👍👍👍🛠⚙🔨⛏🔧🔩🍺🍺
Wow! That forward and reverse works really quick. Great job getting it going. I'm waiting to see the Bates-Corliss in action. Have yourself a good week.
Before it’s over, you will have a steam locomotive running around your property😂. I love them. As with all steam engines, they have personality. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
Too bad i dont live closer. U sound like a great person to hang out with. You now something about everything. I love learning new things by working around and hanging out with friends like u. Great video and keep em coming
Another Great Steam Engine. I Love them ALL. It is so Amazing that they Set around so many Years and can be Brought back to life with a little TLC. They knew what they were doing back in those days. So Simple and Easy to work on. In this day and time they love to make it so complicated that the average Joe can't work on the stuff without a million dollars worth of tools so to speak. Back then with a Cresent wrench, Screwdriver & Pliers you could rebuild about anything.. Great Job Jonathan, Keep'em Coming Brother...! WE ALL LOVE'EM...
Back in the day when I was a pipe fitter/ heating engineer. We sometimes had to seperate and rejoin cast iron sectional radiators. They were joined by two nipples which had right and left hand threads. We used thin paper washers for the seal. The washers were soaked in linsead oil 😀
Back in the 1960's and 70's we used to use cereal boxes for the thinner gaskets like carburetors and powdered laundry soap boxes for the thicker gaskets like four speed case gaskets and thermostat housing gaskets.
nice engine ,i live in meridian and go to the steam festival most years.i helped in the foundry and was the one of last people to see the foundry in production ,to be clear i did not work there but did help john an Jim a lot while i was unemployed, the museum has a couple of speedtwin up stair along with a lot of parts .
Youre making a lot of us jealous! You have an awesome wife who buys you a cool antique steam engine and not to mention for your wedding anniversary Well hey thanks for the video... love watching you talk about and work on these good ol' steam engines
Man that things was chugging along good! Made me smile. I love these steam engines. You got the knack to get old stuff going in short order! Love the video! Thanks so much, Johnathon!
Excellent Video Johnathan W :) also my late uncle , my late dad used back in my childhood 1976 to 1995 on home cereal boxs plus rubber in tubes plus silicone chalk glue for gasket on intake & outake manifolds on valve covers plus transmission also water pump and fuel pumps even oil pans on farm tractor plus combine of gas and desiel motors plus push mowers even Chainsaw or any others need on home farm plus rent one even machinery to needs ! They weren't cheap and tried make ends meet with! Plus any lube stuff too to but was so cool also even my uncle do old measurements and my dad use old and new mathematics too was confusing but learning on fast ! When uncle say quart and my dad say litre did you say it got me Lol! But got in High School days doing Auto Mechanics shop classes my one teacher say I use old or new mathematics when talking me and he did care as long you students understand to explain to me what saying needed or to get ! He always say we're did learn that from and explained he Lol back said I old and new school don't worry or get upset or piss off! We always nice nickname him LT because name was given to him was Larry Technology or Larry Techno!
I really don't think there is anything mechanical that Jonathan cannot fix or attempt to fix. Great mechanical mind. I always enjoy watching his latest postings.
I fully expect to see the Jonathan W Cold Fusion Reactor become operational in the next 5 years.
He is the best.
👍
My name is Davy,I'm 76 years old. I have mechanic most of my life. I still dabble. I love your videos and I continue to learn from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you, hope you have continuous good health.
Outstanding! Too few people appreciate steam power. Imagine instantly reversing any modern engine....
I was shocked to learn steam engines were still being processed as late as 1981! Thought for sure that ended in the 30s to early 40s.
If someone had let me guess when this was manufactured, I would have answered around 1920...
Steam engines are still being produced in India.
When you first started working on steam engines, I wondered what attracted you to them but as the videos kept coming i got more interested in them. This video really struck a chord with me because this engine was found in Punxsutawney, PA, about 20 miles from where i grew up. I can believe that this engine was used at a sawmill because there were a lot of lumber mills in that area in the '50s thru 70's.
Steam engines are a perfect fit for sawmills, the first cut waste, bark, sawdust, etc. would provide endless free fuel for the mill.
Given me the old engine bug Jonathon, just acquired a 1027 Anderson Oil Engine manufactured in Christchurch New Zealand! Took a bit of work to load it, bloody heavy!😂 My son and I have got it running like a top, its great! Thanks mate 👍
Sounds cool, love to see it running, send me a vid of it
Where old steam engines go to live again! Thanks Jonathan, you have made my day again!
So interesting to see you get these old engines running. You have such a great mechanical mind and can fabricate anything from a part for a model T to a steam engine.

@chru cas 👍"Steam engine whisperer"...now why didn't I think of that? All the best to you!
Sorting out all those parts, making gaskets, assembling, test running just amazing as always.
Wishing my father - mechanic and steam fan - were still here to see you do all this.
More power to you. Sincere Thanks.
That old engine ran pretty well at 50 PSI. You truly are a miracle worker.
Never doubted you'd get it running, another successful rescue and resuscitation!
A pile of parts to a running engine. Really cool. Thanks Jonathan for another great video 👍🇺🇸
I really love these old engines, and see them being saved.
I've just got my first camelback drill press working again, after it had been laying in a field for 25 years, and gonna pick another one up this weekend. Have to be working on something old and rusty.
Hi, thanks for the memories these videos bring back to me from my Navy days LoL. From Nr Liverpool UK.
Another awesome video Jonathan! :) It makes me so happy to see you bring these engines back to life. While this particular engine is much younger than the others that you have saved, it is still satisfying to see it working.
That's awesome guy congratulations I love watching them old engines run simple but yet high tech for the day
Something about watching and hearing a steam engine run that truly makes me happy. Thanks Jonathan!
You have made my day Jonathan! I'm grinning and laughing because I'm so happy. You're the best mechanical wizard on RUclips bar none! ( Mustie, eat your heart out )
Mustie is WAY over-rated, he can't even weld properly!
Everything I know about steam engines could be put on the head of a pin but watching you work on these engines is great fun. Great video
Fantastic! Showing us the Soule in the condition it arrived, diagnosing what it needed.
Then watching it kick off running! Very satisfying.
Forward and reverse! She's a runner!
Wow! I had no idea that anyone was still building steam engines into the early 80s, love those machines
Fun to see these old dogs come back to life. I bet it's gratifying to you as well.
Good job Johnathan, I love seeing those old engines brought back to life.
Awesome work thank you for sharing your talents and teaching me. Really good that you keep records of the engines for people in the future. And I just want to say you can't go anywhere for 100 years at least it will take you that long to share your knowledge. 🙏 I do hope to meet you sometime and personally shake your hand and say thank you for teaching me

splendid video sir
Absolutely, positively love to watch this RUclips channel. Jonathan is a straight shooter who has one of the best work ethics of just about anyone I’ve watched!!
hot dang... a bowl of grits and deer sausage & Jonathan with a new engine video. My day is made before I even left the house.
Another bit of history saved------well done mate from Australia
Ll
Good video ,good history
Right on, Jonathon you really got that Soule cranking along on the tail end of this video. That’s got to be very satisfying! I was thrilled to see it!
Johnathan, you amaze me. I love steam engines and I love Tom see them running. You sure spend the time on bringing them back to life. I live in Stanly County. Would love to come for a visit someday if that is allowed. Keep up.the great work! Greg

Thanks Jonathan, you run one of the most fascinating youtube channels out there. Really appreciate you sharing the work you do.
Just simply amazing! Congratulations on reassembling yet another piece of American history! 🙌
I think it's cool that someone was using a new steam engine in the 70s. What was it running?
Dear David E.
Johnathan W. mentioned for instance saw mill carriages. There is still one fully operational steam driven sawmill in North America. If I remember correctly it's called Phillips brothers sawmill (some fascinating videos about it on utube).
Best regards luck and health.
Excellent work Jon. That thing was really buzzin' at the end. I'm enjoying following your steam engine shenanigans. Mart in England.
Thank you Jonathan W ,I admire your video,s ,it's great to see you bring back to life these greatest contrabution,s to the industrial age , Fascinating 👍👍😃😁😎🇦🇺
Now that was a cool little steamer. I can see where that was so useful back in the day with that quick reverse set up.
Over here in England we make oil soaked gaskets with a little graphite mixed with the oil. Seals a treat on 140psi of steam pressure.
Love to se all the work you putt down in this machines, for now and the future.Best regards from sweden
CONGRATULATIONS Jonathan!!!! God's Speed Brother!!!!
With all the dream engines and boilers you have now, it would be interesting to see you set up a small saw mill using them.
You never disappoint JW.. Had me chuckling on the history of each machine 😂
You were right on the reverse.. It don't care!
I've made simple gaskets from Coke boxes, but a whole valve body gasket is impressive. Love seeing the old engines come back to life!
Interesting to learn about these type of engines. I don't know if I would ever had gotten interested in them by other ways but well, Jonathan makes it interesting somehow. Thanks!

I enjoy your restoration of all the steam engine work your doing. I hope some day you'll find and restore a steam tractor thanks 😊
Before it’s over, you will have a steam locomotive running around your property😂. I love them. As with all steam engines, they have personality. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
Never knew they made steam engines that late of time. Learned something new.
Awesome!!!! 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Congratulation on another recovery!
Love these steam videos I can’t wait for the video at Christmas with the lights .
Too bad i dont live closer. U sound like a great person to hang out with. You now something about everything. I love learning new things by working around and hanging out with friends like u. Great video and keep em coming
Wow that thing is running like a dream great job getting that thing up and running ....
Best will it steam video ever!! Love how quick you resurrected this on.
Spectacular video, Jonathan! Excellent work! Great history lesson as well. Winans' World of Steam! 😉 Thank you for all your work, sir!

Awesome Job - so great to see it run
well done! thank you for your passion for steam.
Youre making a lot of us jealous!
You have an awesome wife who buys you a cool antique steam engine and not to mention for your wedding anniversary
Well hey thanks for the video... love watching you talk about and work on these good ol' steam engines
Man that things was chugging along good! Made me smile. I love these steam engines. You got the knack to get old stuff going in short order! Love the video! Thanks so much, Johnathon!

Just brilliant, really enjoy all your steam videos.
Wonderful video you're collection is Vast Great to see them operate
I want one!! I live in NEPA coal region. old tech more durable than what we have today!! excellent video!!!
So cool to see an antique running again.
Great job Mr.J enjoy the videos very much. Thankyou for them.
Being able to reverse under full load is amazing. No wonder they were still building them. Just so simple , very few moving parts
Never thought about it until you mentioned it. Steam is denser than air. Running on 10 psi of steam, proves the point. Keep up the good work 👍
Great job Jonathan, master mind at it again
Awesome work Johnathan
This was a great and fun video. tHanks for posting!
Yep some how therapy ! , 270 degree crank the motion and sound ! great to see it reborn an running again , thanks for sharing this with us Jonathan !
That reversing setup is slick! Nice work!
