FAIRBANKS MORSE SEMI DIESEL LOADING/HAULING, ONE OF THREE.

[@ericmodeen4164]

If you have one, you may as well have three. Beautiful piece of history and engineering, thanks for saving, can't wait to see it run

[@jimnavio4761]

Wow! You built a rig that will do it. Pulled that on like it was rusted out Rambler. Great job sir!!!

[@BarnCatAlley]

Wow! What a smooth move. They could use your talents in Baltimore!!!!!

[@gruberstein]

Holy grail of old engines

[@1963-Ford-Galaxie]

Your sounding Healthier everyday Jonathan, CONGRATS on your "Finds"!!!! Meow to NaNa !!!

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Welds held, engine ran good, great job Jonathan!! Can't wait to see that Fairbanks run. Really neat old engines!!

[@JerrellKull]

Awesome old engine's. The wrecker did great as well. Y'all take care.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Made that look. Easy, two cylinder version will be good , thanks for sharing Jonathan

[@jimmyrogers2731]

New wrecker earned it's keep. Looks like more good old iron on that property that needs saving.

[@markhouck1671]

You are man of history and saving it to sure, Great job Jonathan, your truck did it job!

[@royhaught9516]

You built a strong rollback and it did the job for you with flying colors.

[@cranberry3257]

Looking Foward to hear that engine run !

[@dalestofer4301]

Great use for the new wrecker!

[@petepeeff5807]

Haven't commented in awhile, been watching though. SUPPER COOL!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[@oedsnicolai4989]

New wrecker did well, didn't expect otherwise. And man, what a chunk of metal that engine is. Wonderfull 😃

[@mjmcomputers]

Glad the new wrecker is working out well.

[@geraldharkness8830]

my heart was in my mouth as the engine started to move from its platform! shouldnt have worried,you knew what you were doing!

[@novanut1964]

impressive loading it , good video

[@Rebar77_real]

Cool finds!

[@patrickduley405]

Can’t wait to stop by. Sometime and hear them running might see me in august when I go to Fayetteville to see my folks. Love your content any and all of it.

[@daviddudley1655]

Another addition to your early industrial power museum

[@aleblanc3547]

I like all the steam engine stuff well enough but I’m looking forward to hearing this one run for sure. And I’ll bet that 2 cylinder will be even more fun to hear. Thanks JW.

[@robmatthews7972]

Well Conservator, now you have saved MORE iron from the recycle. Congrats on the wrecker bed fabrication work.

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Those Fairbanks are really nice engines. Nice score .

[@calebjamesdelisle6239]

Man oh man, you had me on the edge of my seat when you were pulling that engine onto the truck, and then driving out of there I was panicking that lose traction and start spinning or else hit a bump sideways and go over. You are a real master.

[@edwardoneail1537]

Dad operated a two cylinder Fairbanks on a rock crushing plant,”lost” the flywheel….pieces everywhere!Dug a flywheel out of a field in Arkansas,hauled it back to Jefferson county Missouri,installed it,up and operating in less than a week!@65 years ago.Flathead ford v8 was used as a starter.lol

[@SteamCrane]

Glad the shrapnel didn't wipe him out!

[@davidlester6092]

Never had a doubt, you do great work JW!!!!

[@toddvisser5445]

I'm always ready for a new episode! Thank you.

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video Jonathan.

[@neilmcintosh1200]

Good acquisition. The 'new' truck works well. It climbed out of that grass field well enough when things were damp.

[@yournamehere6365]

Can't wait to see the wrecker you put that Fairbanks Morse in!😵‍💫

[@fknsl1]

Amazing Journey, Jonathan. Thanks for the rides!!!

[@kiesh.]

Really enjoy your vids J, that rollback mech is butter smooth, lovely job

[@mikahakkinen5651]

so cool old engines.cant wait to see those engines running.

[@jamesjustin-n6m]

Way to go, Jonathan! You are my hero fixing stuff! Amazing talent!

[@50shadesofrust65]

Gonna learn allot bout diesel engines now. Thanks for the videos.

[@cmans79tr7]

Hearing those birds chirping reminded me of some of my younger days coming home after a very late evening fishing 😊

[@plumbcrazy375]

Love to see the old equipment

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

What an amazing move! Bet your heart was in your mouth when it went across the 'bridge'.

[@CurtisHarrison-g2t]

I like that blue back,you can see what is on it. Everything is darker, and camouflages with black. Thanks for the ride.

[@garethmilne6887]

You need as many as possible!! Stationary diesels are awesome. I'd pay to come see them at your museum any day

[@mikeengstrom8260]

Absolutely love your channel. From the project builds to the old engines!!!

[@sandrapoyner1353]

The "Man who dies with the most toys Wins" 👍👍🇦🇺😎

[@dannyplanck6498]

How cool is that? Wowee!

[@hoosiernick]

Would love to see you get a steam calliope and wake the neighbors😂.

[@zworm2]

These engineers and their innovations! Knew there had to be a reason you built that trailer so well reinforced. Had a job in mind!

[@WayneGiguere-d9f]

Hey Jonathan another good video you'll love a the diesel motor will you have a nice day my friend

[@nineteenandfortyone]

Those Diesels should provide a lot of show in operation. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing them run!

[@SMoore-js6fy]

Good to see the new wrecker under load. Job well done. The Fairbanks-Morse engines were used early in the fishing industry here in the Pacific Northwest. Fishtrap days and freight hauler going up the coast. Direct reversible, is what I hear..

[@SteamCrane]

If they are reversible, that is a big deal at a show. Watch this...!

[@marclafleche7055]

Great job on that new rollback

[@Dwayne7834]

The rollback looks like it performs well. Another old engine saved. Thanks for sharing.👍🇺🇸

[@rickardjohnson4524]

Ivory soap, a old timer that used to raise and move houses taught me you can move anything with only Ivory soap, I worked with Him and it really works, no other soap can do that...

[@slantfish65sd]

No you're right. Nobody needs a one cylinder 12,000 lb semi-diesel engine that is 9 ft tall. Yeah nobody needs that but well nobody really needs it until you hear about it or see it and then it's like you got to have it. Excellent video. Keep up the great work sir

[@francistheodorecatte]

just wait until you get that thing fired up. the hotbulb fairbanks engines make some wonderful noises, and you can feel them fire for a long, long way away from how hard they shake the ground.

[@stevebeavers3754]

Geez, I was holding my breath with you loading this.. Lol What a way to prove your new build! 😮

[@delbertgenewoods6837]

Something So Cool ------- Using A Machine That U Built With Your Own Hands ------- A Treet Not Many People Get To Experience In Their Lifetimes -------- U Are A Lucky / Blessed Man ------- Take Your Pick Great Video .

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Jonathan

[@SteamCrane]

Extremely cool 12,000 pound antique engine, and everybody wants to know about the scooter!

[@chevahaulic]

Those are neat old engines. Thresheree grounds near me has a 1 through 6 cylinders engines all in a roll . Symco Thresheree.

[@randomyank7777]

Fairbanks & Morse , still in business , been in business for a LONG time . That was a sweet load test of the Brand New American Made Jonathan Rig . Boy Howdy ! Like you , Brother , it did not disappoint . If I ever build a Pyramid , you are the man I'll talk to . The Fairbanks are some of the simplest diesel engine there are . We had vertical opposing engines on our ship , Navy . Dual crank , 8 & 12 cylinder , pistons met in the middle where the injectors were . The 12's had turbo chargers (mains) , & all had 3 phase generators on them . They sounded like a rock slide rolling over , air start by hand . 1st roll over , pressure reliefs open . 2nd one was fire in the hole . They ran fine , as long as you had fuel , 24/7 if you wanted to . "Do I need 3 of them , do I even need 1 ?" Well , it wouldn't surprise me , if they ran . You are the Engine Whisperer in those parts . The rig looks , works , & drives , awesome ! Weld test , 12K pounds +/- . Passed . Once off of the wood , it was pretty silent . Sweet . God bless , you & yours . P.S. Ours were about 15 ft. tall , mains . about 12 ft. tall on the 8's . The deck was about 6' under the injectors , for servicing & starting . The priming roll over , would gas the whole engine room space with diesel mist . We had 2 engine rooms , 4 mains , 6 ship service . About as long , as they were tall , but only wide at the cranks , 1 below the deck , 1 at the top , over head . The cylinder section was only around 3' to 2.5' wide in the middle , respectively . Heck , you can probably still get repair kits . Lol .

[@peterselten500]

Hi jonathan good to see more saved . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@steveblack1753]

You hit the gold mine with this find Johnathan 🤙🤙🤙

[@greghamilton1638]

Welcome to my county Jonathan! Glad you were able to purchase things from JMc. He is good friends with a friend of mine and seems to.beva good man! I enjoy your videos..again welcome to my county!!

[@ldean-du5im]

The video was fine! Thanks for taking us along!

[@joemazzola7387]

Y'all scraping up the new paint ! Lol

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Congratulations! 🎉 That's one heck of a rollback! Did the 12.000 lbs job as if it was nothing. Highly impressive. Very well built, Sir, very well built indeed. You're definitely more brave than I am. I would not have had the courage to not put at least one middle support under the end of the bed while pulling the heavy beast of a machine on it. This shows even more the quality of your build. 2) Did I hear right? You don't want to keep all 3 of the antique gasoline engines? Am I actually watching the right channel!? 😁 ;-) 3) Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the loading of the rest of all the stuff. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@LuminousBlueVariable]

Excellent work, as usual! Well done Jonathan!!

[@colinc408]

You Sir are a ****ing! LEGEND! And to get away 'CLEAN' not a cop in sight!! 👍😑

[@ZMadtrapper]

THANKS fer postin lad !! Tis a good day when the two channels I follow post vids EH !! Cain't wait to see this one goin !! WAVIN a hand EH !!

[@Pohleece222]

Been here in Asheville NC this past week on vacation and the rain the last few days has been substantial. Great job in this inclement weather.

[@SilverJ56]

Would love to see a "walk around " with your roll-back, Jonathan!! Great work!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

The truck worked out nice. You did a great job on it. This is going to be another video to watch from you starting it. Good Luck getting the other ones out too

[@eddiekilby]

I love that new engine, always wanted one of those.

[@jgwilliams5951]

Always look forward to your content . Thanks !

[@melsplace4007]

What a cool machine and I'm looking forward to watching you learn it and run it.

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

Love the old scooter you see in the video!

[@SteamCrane]

Saw that, liked that. Will he grab it?

[@Truckman1980]

That winch must be a beast! Didn't even seem to struggle

[@wessmith1793]

very good Jonathan was with a friend that bought a 50hp Fairbanks Morse out of a auction in Lexington NC that was running. had all org equipment. org, air compressor and tanks etc. Went to Bluemont, VA and then was returned back to NC to be put back in service . What a treasure trove you found. G🤗ood luck thanks for your video and channel. 🤗

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Nice piece of history Jonathan!

[@SteamCrane]

Those are neat engines! There are several later ones in our area, just love to listen to them.

[@michaelblaszkiewicz7283]

Soon Jonathan will have every abandoned steam engine in North Carolina. Good for him.

[@cliffhaupt5413]

That was one heck of a test on your truck. Good show.

[@tectalabyss]

Love the videos. I am looking forward to more when you have the time. All my very best.

[@suewyke5844]

Well that one looks nice Johnboy and you have two more to get and can't wait to see them when they are finished and by the way stay safe and keep the videos coming in.

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

Super cool!

[@daviddamico4288]

Nice work Jonathan,looks like a great boiler…

[@lsa168]

Excellent!

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks

[@arnoldsmachinetool4632]

I'm hoping that I can get the chance to stop by to see them in person. Great job 👍

[@ellwoodblooz]

Really looking forward to learning about Fairbanks Morse.

[@brianforson2630]

I'm interested in learning more about them too

[@davidcoudriet8439]

Works flawlessly! Awesome.

[@paulmonce7625]

Can't wait to see one of these run, to cool.

[@MasterBo39]

Consider: If you had a generator or two of your own, you could sell power to the local power grid and make a few bucks too. Bo.

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video

[@BobSmith-mj7ik]

I can't wait to see it run

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

you are my spirit animal jonathan

[@JDawghasaTruck]

Can’t wait to hear that pop off!

[@avnsteve1]

Sheeeyiiitttt! You made that look easy!

[@morgansword]

This switch to all electric might work for a good many but here in alaska, not much sun and lots of rain, freezing yet here nights. This engine will run anywhere and make power for anything needed. Just need to be willing to learn new things, as maybe you remember me, now seventy four and not really any experience as operating one of them
