- Haven't had the big Ronny going for six months and I just don't get sick of running it.
1932 ish , 20hp , Ronaldson Brothers and Tippett. Originally saved from scrap by Ray Keys many decades ago and I got it from him.
Ljudi moji ovo je praznik za uši i oči, milina jedna. Prosta mašina ne proizvodi buku, može da radi sve dok traje gorivo. Hvala za video, pozdrav iz Srbije.
Thank you. Nice to hear from you.
This old engine could run 24 7 and still not even think of stopping a beat. Cool how it's still here after decades of life.
it’ll probably still be here after humans have all gone.
Just like my Toyota. :)

Cat got his tongue 👅
Luckily, it didn't get scrapped during WW2.
I am a big fan of these old magnificent oil engines. Well done indeed for salvaging it. I could watch and listen to it running all day. We used to have one at our farm.
Thanks mate, id try to find the farm’s engine and get it.
Just like a human being...... use it or lose it.It's wonderful that he's still here. And not "made beautiful" by youth
My father was an engine mechanic.He used to service big engines even of the capacity 200 HP. I remember the old English engines like Lister , O B Blackstone etc.O loved my father working on them.
Thats really cool. Where did he work ?
Antique Low stress heavy duty machines like these are fascinating and fun to watch in action !
Even better with a few beers.
Nothing better than "Old Iron"! Just can't get enough of these. Thanks for Sharing. Stay Safe.
Thank you mate. I cant get enough either.
@@jenkodiesel5768 This is what Big Boy Toys are all about when you can make them run with Rhythm! Looks like you might have some others also.
Красивый апарат, впервые о таких узнал, благодарю , удачи вам
What a smooth start up 👍👍🇺🇸
Yeah thanks mate. Took a while to figure out the starting procedure.
I loved the old engines when I was growing up on the farm. Friends and family all had different types including Imperial McDonald, Sundial, Lister, Moffat Virtue, International, Rosebery and Ronaldson Tippett. There was always a challenge on among the boys as to who could start which engine and a real achievement when you were successful. Some of the farm girls were really clued up on their operation as well. What wouldn't I give to still have those faithful old workhorses.
Same here mate. We had a lister which i still have and have a video of it “ Lister like new” or something like that. Im going to sell a few little engines soon, where are you at ?
A beautiful old machine, starting that old four burner Primus stove is the treat. Then applying oil to the bearing and cams is giving it the love she needs. Well done mate!
Thank you Harold .
What is the burner for Harold? what is it heating up?
@@dntlssThis is a compression ignition engine. The brass four burner stove preheats the cylinder and when under pressure, the fuel ignites and provides power. The engine just takes over and runs like a clock.😊
@@haroldishoy2113Cool, thank you.
All respect to the ancient inventors
Thats right, we don’t think of the engineers that thought this stuff up.
Silent and super smooth. Like it is a "take your time engine."
Your right . Take your time and I’ll get it done
Incredible, 300 things to do before even trying to kick her over. Legend is the engine is still running today as it's impossible to stop
Cheers mate.
That is awesome. It's been running for almost a hundred years and probably will be running in a hundred more. I hope Ford is watching this
Luckily an old bloke named Ray Keys saved it from scrap back in the fifties.
Thanks for that mate it brings back memories for me I had a 4Hp hopper cooled AUSTRAL magi start, gee I miss it Cheers RUSTY.
Thanks Rusty, Should have kept it mate .
Silent and super smooth. Like it is a "take your time engine.". Love the remote location!, adds to the endurance!.
Glad you like it mate.
Beautiful engine. Thanks for posting. Don't see many big Paraffin engines in England anymore. Used to be one which ran a corn mill near my house 40 years ago. I miss that sound. An old feller driving a a Ford Thames Trader lorry would call by every other week and deliver Paraffin.
Thanks Paul, the big ones are the best sound ! Pure power.
A very nice running engine, but even more impressive was how that especially powerful man rolled over those HEAVY flywheels!
If it's balanced and lubed, it's not a big problem.
Thanks Mustang
Poweful men, lube and what?!😂
Awesome 👌, outside cam and valve assembly
Yeah, good to watch with a few beers
The sound alone is something out of a Wes Anderson movie. Like an ASMR symphony. I could listen to that all day.
Me to mate
Just wonderful . Pure magic . The sounds of times past . Huge respect to those who made it and to you for loving it and showing it to us.
Thank you
I could listen to that all day
I do mate.
Amazing piece of history ! When you see this heavy machine pumpin so much brute force you appreciate the skills and craftmanship of our grand grand fathers.
They did the working out, we just complicate it.
I recall a friend's property in the Brindabella ranges (NSW) had I'm pretty sure exactly this model engine, which I played on as a child (moving the crusty, seizing flywheel by standing on it). No one was sure how it worked, long replaced by another more contemporary stationary engine to run a saw. They thought it was a steam engine! Seeing one actually running in the scenery of Australian bush fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate. Id go and look for it if i was you.
I have it !!
That burner is the biggest I´ve ever seen. Most only have one (big) burner but not four! What a thing.
Yes, the four burner lamp is extremely rare and only came with the 20 hp and up engines. I’ve only seen about four or five of them and I’ve got three of those.
I think my great grandpa had one of these he used to wind his watch. He was a big man.
Would make a good lawn mower engine to.
Beautiful baby! Those old engines have a souls 😍❤️👍😊
Yes ,they do
So awsome, amazing that it burns so clean. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure mate.
Love seeing old bits of kit running instead of gathering rust!. Nice one!. Nuff said.🙂
They’re even better with a few beers
@@jenkodiesel5768 Now you're talking!. 🤣
Great old machine like a rail ingine.rythumatic music sound 😊
Thanks
1932, and still going perfect🏁
I have some great memories with some awesome hit and miss engines. My dad used to collect and restore them. I love listening to an old hits miss run.
Good stuff mate.
Yes you got something there nice to have for power, keep it and work it. See ya next time and have a great day see ya bye.
Thank you, yes it is very nice to have. I am lucky
May the old stuff still be running way into the future.
They are going to be here when Teslas are a distant memory.
Love the remote location!, adds to the endurance!
Thanks mate, it’s a nice little corner of the country
Good sound 👌
Thanks mate
That is SO cool! As someone that went to school 40 years ago on compression/ignition engines, it still fascinates me to watch the start-up and run process of these venerable motors. This one kind'a reminds me of the classic war movie 'Guns Of Navarone' when 'Butcher Brown' was trying to start the old boat CI engine and had that old torch on the cylinder head trying to get that combustion chamber hot enough to fire off. Back in the day, sometimes you had to be creative to get some of the older diesels to light off! Nice video!
Hi mate, thank you for the comments. I’ll look that movie up,I have seen it but dont remember the engine you mentioned. This engine is a hot bowl or surface ignition engine . That means you have to pre heat the “ surface “ to start it and then the explosions keep it hot once running.
amazing, thank you for the video. great days to you down there.
Cheers mate
Nice beat. A electric guitar,bass and stuff -this can be a hit !
Yeah , good drinking music.
Great engine good video!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you very much!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Givin the spiders a wake-up call! Love the sound of thears old dears. Each one sings a different song.
Good sound alright
Bravo, you have power in your hand, you turned the big engine so beautifully. Regards
Thank you very much
Beautiful and amazing. I love this. How smooth
Smooth and powerful, you can feel the power stroke in the ground.
like a Swiss watch bravo !👏👏👏👏👍👍🙂🙂
A really big Swiss watch
What a sweet lullaby!
Shit mate. Long time no see.. thought you died or something. Drop in mate.
I love old engines.....hit and miss and steam. They were built to last. With some minimal care, they can last generations.
Your right, I have a large 1912 engine that worked for 50 years and shows no wear.
I don't really think that this engine is a hit and miss, it's just a low RPM very powerful old engine.
@@dougscott8161 It sure looks and sounds like a hit and miss.
Superb example. Thanks for posting.
Cheers, it’s actually new, old stock and not even run in yet.
Great engine n great man !
That's very kind
Very nice engine 👌
Thank you Doug. It was a spare engine for a grain elevator so it has no wear at all.
So beautiful to see these engines.
It’s pretty good to own them too. Cheers.
@jenkodiesel5768
I'm on 2nd floor of a london council flat.
Never get anything like that up the stairs.
@@anthonygregory3022 Where there’s a will, there’s a way mate.
Very nice. Watched very eagerly. Thank you.
Cheers mate
You have got that running very nice. Looks great on that skid to.
Thanks mate, I just love this engine. I dragged that skid home years ago with a Robison pump on it. It fitted the Austral perfectly.
Full roller cam!, baby revs to the moon!
Would throw a rod at 400rpm's
Parabéns pelo vídeo hotimo funcionamento
Thank you
That's one sweet engine
Schöner Motor. Danke fürs Schreiben. In England gibt es nicht mehr viele große Paraffinmotoren. Vor 40 Jahren betrieb das Unternehmen eine Getreidemühle in der Nähe meines Hauses. Ich vermisse dieses Geräusch. Alle zwei Wochen kam ein alter Kerl mit einem Ford Thames Trader-Lastwagen vorbei und lieferte Paraffin.
Thanks Felix, do you remember what type of engine it was at the mill ?
Puts a smile on my face😊
Me too mate
This is great. Also, love the silver bravo in the background. Old school
That Bravo has 400,000 ks on it and has been overloaded its whole life.
@@jenkodiesel5768 mines same colour, just has a few hundred thousand less kays at only 77000km now.
@@samftr just about run in.
gracias por mostrar este motor , es un pedazo de historia saludos desde Argentina
Thank you, any engines over there ?
Fascinating technology from past❤
It sure is , imagine in a hundred years sitting around looking at a 12 hp honda, that won’t happen.
Gracias por compartir el funcionamiento y puesta en mi marcha,amo los viejos fierros y motores por su nobleza y resistencia,yo aun tengo funcionando mis viejos Primus de parafina que enciendo en invierno y me traen recuerdos de mi madre preparando la comida con ellos.
Thank you mate. Glade it brought back good memories
For such a large engine it runs very quiet!
Yes mate , every time it fires you can feel it in the ground so it’s very powerful but relatively quiet .
Amazing it still runs , you must have gotten the oil in the right places, although it looks like a few more places could use some.
Took some work to get it going, doesn't need more oil. Your the second person to say that. Not sure why.
The sound is like a heartbeat
It’s my pacemaker
Magnificent !!!!
Thats what i said when i saw it in the bush the first time.
Very nice engine mate.
Cheers mate.
Man this is a ritual to get this thing started .
Yeah, with no instruction manual either.
Beautiful engine👍👍👏👏👏
It is a very nice engine , no wear whatsoever on any part.
My best friend, Excellent video! Keep it up! I had to see the full video, as always, Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Thanks mate
They can run forever, would be nice to hook your generator up to .
Yeah, it ran a grain elevator in the thirties and most likely also ran a generator at the same time.
I'm putting a large water pump on it eventually.
Magnificent engineering!
Simplicity is where the true engineering is.
Nearest I got to that was running a Lanz Bulldog on a pump. We fueled it with waste sump oil from the local garages and half an acre around it was black.
Yeah , my McDonald two strokes are very similar to the Lanz.
im very happy to watch this kind of contend🤣🤣
Yes , me too. Better that TV
I wish I could find an engine like that, it'd be awsome for a generator and I'm sure it'd run happily on waste motor once it got up to running temperature
I've got other engines that run on any oil, once I filled the tank with citronella oil and it ran perfectly and kept mosquitoes away.
@@jenkodiesel5768 now that’s a good idea, every mosquito for miles would be trying to get away.. that engine would more than likely run in waste oil too, my generator is a cs lister clone that’s supposed to run on diesel but I’ve been running it on straight waste motor oil for years.. I don’t even use diesel for starting and warm up so it can be a little hard to start in winter but fitting a glow plug and a flywheel and starter motor got it to where it starts easy enough down to about 10c, any lower than that takes a bit of winding it over
Amazing how easy it started
After fifty eight starts, it gets easier.
I am watching this from Ukraine and I miss Australia. Seeing that dry tinder bush gives me homesickness
Get back here mate
@@jenkodiesel5768 yeah
I see you store your engines outdoors and and the biggest giveaway that you keep them outdoors is all the vegetation that grown around the mounts
the other giveaway is that they are outside.
A long time ago I read about an engine which drove a water pump whose noise caused a shearing strike. I don't remember what type of engine it was but I'm sure it wasn't an oil engine.
Ronaldson Bros. & Tippett also made Wisconsin gas engines under licence.
I have heard that story also.
Old is gold.
It is pretty bloody good alright
Awesome piece of machinery. I assume you're in Australia? Doesn't look all that different than here in southern Arizona. I hope to travel that way someday.
Thanks Luke , yes Australia. Hope you get here for a look around.
You'd be most welcome, anytime.
No spiders were harmed in the production of this video. Well, not many🤪
its more like a carnival ride for them.
How neat !!
cheers mate
que hermoso motor
Thank you mate , it sure is.
Smooth and SLOOOW! Cool. What's the RPM here...?
absolutely flat out at 200 rpms
🇧🇷 Simplesmente Espetacular!!!
Thank you
Beautiful
Thanks mate .
Fascinating. Now find some way of giving it work to do. Old water pump, generator, sawmill etc.
Yep, big water pump is on the cards.
Awesome mate!
Cheers mate
I love such old machines. It would be nice to live on an Australian Farm.. - much nicer than in Germany and the right language ❤ Vivian Hyde
Yes but Australia is starting to go down your 1930’s path. But yeah, the engine and farm life is good.
@@jenkodiesel5768 what do you mean, with the path of 1930, please
@@jenkodiesel5768 Do you aspire to right-wing extremist tendencies, like many other stupid people?
@@viviangrabowski6506 we are being overrun by a tyrannical government. Its hard to read my mind and know what i was on about sorry.
@@jenkodiesel5768 like what I mean: trouble everywhere - I think you're 👌. I'm a free mind and prefer fun ;-) I enjoy conversation with you
Sure started easily, looks like it was sitting around for a while going by the Redback Spider webs!
Yeah, starts pretty easy if you do everything right. There was a few webs but i do run it a lot. I had a bit of an obsession with my big McDonald there for a while but the Austral is my pride and joy.
uma relíquia dessa foncionando perfeitamente merecia no mínimo uma cobertura nota 0 pra o proprietário 👍😁
Thanks mate
Amazing!
Cheers
Good sleepin music 🎶
Good drinking music too
Quite the blunt instrument by today's standards, but still a marvel to watch run.
It’d cause blunt object trauma if you stuck your head in the wrong spot !
badass
Thanks
Cheers
Spectacular
How we think we live in a better world.
I’d say with modern technology we’ve actually gone backwards.
This type of well engineered yet simple. Rugged and easy to repair (ie you could machine ever part if needed) would run efficiently(I didn’t see smoke after it was running) and almost perpetually.
My how times have changed…
Crazy amount of torque
But I assume low hp?
What was its last job?
Thank you for sharing this beautiful machine!
Hi mate, this engine is 20 hp. It was powering a grain elevator in a small rural town on the train line. I think this particular engine was a spare because it is not even run in and shows absolutely no wear.
Fine engineering thats for sure.
Hello Sir, I am really interested in finding an old engine like you have running. Would you be able to tell me how much one would cost me to purchase Sir ??? Thanks
Where are you situated?
@@jenkodiesel5768 I am across the big pond in eastern America. Pennsylvania is my state.
Have a look here, very helpful people. www.smokstak.com/forum/
Let me know if you find one eventually.
Fantastic 🙏
Its a beautiful engine
i love the limp oil can...in my town the hardware store is across from the strip club so we can only get stiff oil cans...he he he
I wish there was a strip club here, that oil can is a pain in the arse.
