[@adrianm.2043]

Really interesting to see such an engine working, it brought back fond memories of when I was a very young man. I was friends with an elderly farmer who had a vintage crawler tractor that had a single cylinder diesel engine, it was quite a big machine. Unfortunately the steering brakes were worn out so we couldn't drive it but we used it as a stationary engine to run a belt driven saw bench for cutting logs. That was fifty years ago now, and the tractor was from the 1920s, I cannot remember what make it was for certain but it might have been an international. The friend who owned it passed away circa 1980 so I cannot ask him. The engine could be started with a cartridge, but because cartridges were scarce we usually started it manually , with a lighted fuse in the cartridge holder, it took two men with a starting handle to turn it over and get it up to sufficient speed that it would start when the decompression cam running in a groove like a screw thread on the outside of the flywheel dropped off and the compression came in. Like yours it would start with a whump, then gradually pick up speed. It didn't ever run backwards as far as I remember.

[@jackx4311]

@adrianm.2043 - the reason this engine can run in either direction is because it's a two-stroke. When it's running slowly, you can clearly hear one 'WHUMP!' at each revolution.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

The seal for the hot bulb is made of asbestos yarn. It always leak a little. And the steam comming from the water outlet is from old water standing in the cylinder and starts getting hot. The steam comes in pulses because the waterpump is a piston type and pumps air when the cooling tank is not conected. /Richard

This is crazy. I thought it was an early steam engine at first. It took me a while of wondering why you were talking about 'fuel' to realise it was a massive one piston combustion engine. The miracle and sophistication of modern combustion engines in cars obscures their incredible design and, ironically, it is these (relatively) crude early designs that enable us to wonder at how amazing they are. I sometimes wonder why they weren't invented sooner and the initial assumption is genius designers. But I think as incredible as it is, the design innovation is not the most amazing aspect. I think it is a combination of advances in metallurgy for the parts and chemistry for the fuel, along with a broad and deep supply chain with consistency of quality and reliability in all the industries that contribute. It's really a cohesive social culture that was necessary for such inventions to come about.

[@randr10]

I always like watching these old engines start and run. I'm still trying to figure out how it works after a second watch. I'm assuming it's a 2-cycle engine like a modern gasoline 2-cycle because it seems to fire once every revolution and I don't see intake/exhaust valves. Weird seeing such a small fuel tank on something with such a huge piston. It must be very efficient. Reminds me of the gasoline hit and miss engines I saw up in Northern Quebec that were used for generating electricity. They had about the same footprint of this engine but way less mass and lower to the ground. Maybe waist high or so except for the flywheel. It was part of a remote hunting camp. They would run those old generators in the winter time because they only needed electricity for the caretaker's cabin and they were very efficient. They use almost no fuel when they're not under load. They had two that they would alternate due to all the maintenance they required. Plus it was probably nice to have a backup. Would be lonely in the dark up there under 10 feet of snow for 6 months. When the camp was open in the summer they ran a v8 diesel generator to power the whole camp.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Yes it is a 2stroke hot bulb. So very much like a modern 2 stroke petrol but with fuel injection in a vapourizing bulb that helps the fuel ignite when compression rises. Yes i think this fueltank is at around 20L. But that takes you a long way because is uses very little fuel and could be run on almost any oil. / Richard

It's a 2 stroke Diesel engine. Similar engines Power Big cruise ship today because they can run them on dirty Waist Oil from the refineries which is almost solid on low temperatures

[@trentonjennings9105]

A two-stroke diesel does provide more power than a comparable sized four-stroke, but you don't see new ones on the road because they are polluters. I have seen a fairly modern two-stroke diesel fire pump engine. It was a Detroit Diesel. I assume there is/was a loophole because fire pump engines (and boats) aren't on the highways.

[@randr10]

@@trentonjennings9105 The detroit diesels had actual valves. I think there was something about that which required a supercharger, thus the famed 8-71 blower that was used on hot rods. It was originally for an 8-cylinder Detroit. Now, I think other than the oddball 2-stroke design and the supercharger, the detroit design was fairly clean burning compared to something like this. These are like the weed whacker or dirt bike 2-strokes, just without the spark plug.
