1908 Hart Parr 60 Start & Drive

Once again the reliable old 1908 30-60 Hart Parr oil pull chugs to life and tools about the exhibition grounds. She continues to run like the day she was built, even though that was almost 110 years ago. Pioneer Acres Museum, Irricana, Alberta.

You really have to admire the raw creative genius that made machines like this possible. Very cool!

[@mikaelabowen5781]

This video is worth watching fir the sound alone! What a glorious machine.

[@SkipStorm]

Great stuuff. Great job keeping these engineering marvels alive and well. Thank you.

[@Rainhill1829]

+Skip Storm Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching.

[@nightlightabcd]

Looks like a Oil Pull! I see it comes equipped with a Armstrong starter! What a fine machine!

[@Chris0252]

This one is also realy beautiful !. Nice working clothing look !. Rainhill you are the stephen Spielberg of the old tractor world making these wonderful tractor video’s The one of yours runs like then one of us. Fantastic !. Chris

[@Rainhill1829]

Wow, thank you so much. That means a lot. I absolutely love you Hart Parr 60, good to see another one still hammering on.

[@bebajoro77]

Fascinating, like all your videos. This old girl gives every impression of being ready to chuff gently on for another century or so . . .

[@charlesvh6194]

I just happened to stumble upon this video thank you. Wow what a beautiful piece of machinery the sound of which is like music to my ears.

[@Rainhill1829]

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed.

[@jayberry2716]

wow, love the ancient machines ! no onboard computers or emission regulations !!!

[@sambo9855]

Jay Berry I bet this thing would actually go along with today's emissions standards.

[@choofish]

I have a picture somewhere of my grandfathers Hart Parr similar to this one hauling three wagons of grain to the grainery in town..

[@Rainhill1829]

Hope this brought back some fond memories.

[@Mikeyyyy_L]

amazing! 107 years old and still going strong…. no made in china parts on that machine!! :D

[@Rainhill1829]

Got that right, nobody owns her, we are merely temporary guardians.

[@merlenewalker8997]

Beautiful machines

[@Rainhill1829]

Thanks so much.

[@Galynn159]

Read about the Hart Parr in Antique Power. Glad to see such a quality video of one in operation

[@Rainhill1829]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks.

[@mattgrooms3298]

If I'm not mistaken, these tractors will run on almost any kind of fuel. Nice video!

[@Rainhill1829]

Indeed, once they are warm, they would sip almost anything from kerosene to paint thinner, but each fuel would give you differing horsepower ratings.

[@royhoco5748]

if you get your shoe lace caught in that big fly wheel you would go for a wild ride

[@AndrewsGarage1]

That's why you wear cowboy boots.

[@123sheepdip]

Wonderful - great to see and hear. Another subscriber then.

[@Rainhill1829]

+123sheepdip Well thank you so much, welcome aboard.

[@khadijagwen]

It sounds like a single cylinder with part of the exhaust injecting into the stack above the "radiator" to induce a draft through it?

[@Rainhill1829]

Almost perfect, she has two cylinders, the exhaust does indeed induce draft through the radiator using an ejector ring

[@svtirefire]

Awesome, thanks!

[@neildelaney5199]

well rainhill1829,i don't know if you live here ?own all these tractors? or are just have a passion for these wonderful machines? but i really envy you thankyou very much for these wonderful films

[@Rainhill1829]

Thanks so much, I apologise for not introducing myself, I am from Alberta, Canada and while I do own a small collection of machines a vast majority of the things I film are from museum and private collections. I am just happy to show these machines to those who cannot be here whatever the reason may be, it brings me endless joy. Glad you enjoyed.

[@kellyh4035]

Disgusting shame how this artifact has been neglected and allowed to deteriorate since it's painstaking restoration!

[@Rainhill1829]

Ive spent countless hours cleaning and lubricating this tractor every spring and I will have you know, save for a bad carb float it is in perfect mechanical condition and had they painted it properly when they restored it, the paint wouldn’t be peeling off in sheets.

[@kellyh4035]

@@Rainhill1829 we didn't have the budget, meaning no money for better paint.

[@randybrown2642]

@@Rainhill1829 If you don’t do it properly off the bat there’s pretty much no hope. My 20 year old resto on my MM U looks better than a lot of stuff done last week unfortunately.

[@robertheinkel6225]

These guys are true operators, not drivers.

[@intotheadventure2592]

Does it have 2 exaust pipes

[@Rainhill1829]

It does off each individual cylinder, but they converge in the stack above the radiator into a large ejector ring to create the draft for the cooling air.

[@rags-fv6ko]

Make America great again by doing real work like this instead of electronic crap

[@bingola45]

This looks like a Rumley to me.

[@Rainhill1829]

Similar design, they had different internals though.

[@Randy82406]

If the peope in charge don't destroy the world It will be here a1000 years from now this is the stuff that made us great. Ray

[@Rainhill1829]

Ray Sales Agreed.

[@GuyIntermediate]

@@Rainhill1829 and they'll still be chugging along too. Lol

[@jimgoodwin6294]

Compared to a Mogul 30-60 its a noisy old bugger.....

[@Rainhill1829]

Oddly enough that Mogul gas such a sharp crack to its exhaust it tends to hurt the ears more.

Bu teknolojiyi geliştirenler bu teknolojiye karşı olanların (pardon Barış manço)(nasıl diyorsunuz )( oymakmı)? Anlaşıldı tamam .şimdi..

[@user-ro7lt3sn7s]

сколько же людей убил этот трактор?

[@Rainhill1829]

Удивительно очень мало.

[@smug8567]

Things I have learned from this video... junk is the rule, not the law. Steel wheel tractors are an open invitation to play a fun game of chicken with your neighbors. They must be able to afford to get a new tractor every single year considering the fact that not a single person in the entire country can drive one !
