Awesome Jonathan! Rick Delair here! Finally can post again! Subscribed again too! 😊 I hope you received the Edison style carbon filament bulb and wedge for your Unit crane a couple years ago! I love 2 strokes, and these loop scavenged using crankcase pressure like a gas 2 stroke, Fairbanks Morse hot-bulb semi-diesels are beautiful! Huge chain saw engines! 😅 I am glad to be back, you are awesome and this is my first comment since a few years! OH! These and most gasoline 2 stroke engines are Day cycle. Detroit diesel, and Cleveland diesel, also EMD, with intake ports and exhaust valves, also opposed piston engines like Fairbanks-Morse, all uni-flow scavenged with blowers, are Clark cycle engines. The opposed piston 2 stroke diesels remain the most efficient engines ever made! Glad to be back! 😊

Of all the antique equipment you've acquired over the past few years I think these engines are some of the most interesting. I can't wait to see what you are able to do with them. Thank you for preserving these pieces of history. God bless you and your family.

Boy Oh Boy! That was some haul! You picked up them engines at the right time. That wood was very rotten underneath the two cylinder engine and maybe not too much longer and it would have been on its side. I knew you were in for some quick thinking when you were saying sketchy, sketchy. I want to say that the truck you put together is a fine piece of equipment. You certainly put it through its paces and it worked fine. Two thumbs up for you!
@joshuawalls71027 ай бұрын
I love the new rollback I would use that one over the rest of them once that thing is painted and lettered with maybe some light tinted windows that is going to be a really nice truck! It's already got the led lights and alluminum wheels now it just needs paint, tint, lettering, sun visor, bug shield, and some rookie stick light poles on the bumper!
