- Got this at an auction a couple of months ago. I don't think it has run for 60 or 70 years. I was told it ran an air compressor at a mine in Warren, Idaho. This is the first start since then. I had to use air to start it because you can see I'm just too small to turn it over.

Beautiful old Fairbanks !! 😁 They just make me smile!

Glad to see it get running clockwise so it can throw the oil properly to lube the rod and main bearings.
Start it once
Let it run for ever.
ticks over great! i am by no means an expert, but i believe your issue with the air start is that you're giving it air for too long a duration. i think you want to shut off air before the piston uncovers the exhaust port. that way the inertia from the spinning flywheels doesn't have to overcome compression AND the extra air that you're giving it with the compressor. good luck!
Looked to be starting it backwards to me
@@CosgroveNotts I'm an expert too! hate them more by the day.
Fun thing to do with these is get a good good audio recording if it and lay it over itself 4-12 times with a small delay in between it layer of audio. Literally sounds like a common modern engine!
THATS A GREAT VIDEO THANKS FORD SHARING ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I see this Fairbank can also do that running with zero revolutions !!, all big single cylinder 2 strokes can do that i think. Buldog lance tractors does the same :-))
Good luck starting that out in the field
I’ve got it down and it starts right up by hand. Thanks
Did you get a larger air line yet?
looking back, first time seeing one started on coal
Great start !
Now If we can figure out how to boost it's hp's up to about 2,000 and mount it on the rear of a motorcycle frame....
I'm in, but you kick start it
magic sound
Not hot enough and flooded. If you get it hot enough and give it 2 shots of fuel it'll take off by hand rolling it hard towards the head and let it go!
Thanks that’s an old video. I have got it down pretty good on the start up now. I own another one now that is a 15 hp they start very easily
Cool. Can i stick my arm in the spokes?
😊 OSHA purist must be grabbing their chests. These monuments to Darwin awards. If you’re dumb enough to do stupid things around them, you deserve what you get. My dad had a 5HP FM engine. He got it when I was about 12 years old. He told me to be careful around it. It didn’t take much of a genius to figure how much pain it could inflict if you weren’t careful around it.
Sure. Once
That guys name must be John.
It was great, at the time ,
They ere good
Why does it seam like it fires every stroke
2stroke engine
What I meant was it’s a hit and miss...
@@anythingthatmoves9609 not a hit and miss it's a 2 stroke diesel. It's suppose to fire every stroke
Cool a propane diesel engine.
Anything that moves Channel if it fires every stroke it’s a 2stroke engine not hit and miss
grab a hold and pull thru
old fashion way
LOL, sure pull it through. Good luck with that one.
Nothing more annoying than wife in background
K lo
He needs some practice lol
Hit miss motors are so good to watch but smokes a lot
This is not a hit and miss it's a 2 stroke diesel
