First Start Cold Start! Rare 1930s Onan Single Cylinder Diesel Genset

First start/cold start in 40+ years! My friend AJ Windmeyer bought this at an auction and wanted to get it running so we picked it up and pulled inside to work on it. This 1930s Onan Single Cylinder Diesel Genset had sat in a barn for 40+ years collecting dust and it took hardly anything to get it back up and running!

Only men can truly understand the love for old machinery. Everything that is looked down on today with disdain.
Great save.

@@cruddycornstalks This genset is ran daily, about 2 hours a day as i work in my barn. It burns approx. 3 gallons of fuel a week. Great engine! Thanks @cruddycornstalks for the help getting this big beast of an engine running.
