came from Kieth Rucker!

[@tincans0]

Me too

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks.

[@mhansl]

Same. Great vid. Subbed.

@ thanks.

[@dannyl2598]

Me too

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Keith sent me... all about the cane mill..👍🏻

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@jenniferwhitewolf3784 Thanks for watching. I hope you will check our other videos too.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Keith Rucker sent me over to see this engine. What a wonderful addition this engine will be to run the cane mill. I have so much respect for those that salvage old machines instead of scrapping them.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We agree on having respect for those who preserve old iron. Thanks for watching.

[@davidc6510]

Dropped in here from Keith Ruckers channel and I must say it was awesome to see that old engine fired up and run. To think that was some of the common technology 104 years ago is pretty amazing to see how far it has improved. Well done James on the restoration. Thanks for sharing a great video. Cheers!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@dscottpeterson6653]

Would be nice to see the engine sandblasted and painted like Keith did on the cane mill. So impressed with your work.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks so much.

[@normanbott]

Watched the full Cane Mill restoration on Keith's channel. It's amazing to see an oil engine in that original condition brought back to life. I'm looking forward to seeing the two components working together once again. Oil engines are so quiet.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. I hope you will follow this project and others on our channel.

[@normanbott]

@@InmanFarmHeritageDays Yes, I've just subscribed to make sure.

[@jerrypolk5909]

I am a long time follower of Keith Rucker's videos and enjoyed his restoration of the cane mill and it was nice to see the power plant that is going to run it.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thank you. And we hope you will follow our channel and support what we do.

[@markgardiner5150]

Awesome story glad you are following through on it! I have watched the restoration on Keith’s channel!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@markgardiner5150 Thanks.

[@edsmachine93]

I came here from Keith Rucker restoration of the Cane Mill. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing the story. Happy New Year. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy following what we do here. Happy New Year!

[@MrChevelle83]

the fact that the mill and engine survived and didnt get scrapped is impressive all in itself!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We agree. We love to see old iron live to run again. Thanks for watching.

[@davidhudson5452]

Keith sent me over

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We hope you will continue to follow our channel.

[@sheph7]

following the link from Kieth Rucker, glad I did. IMPRESSIVE engine and restoration. I'm surprised how quiet it is when running and how seemingly smooth it is, no apparent vibration. Amazing.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. It is a great engine.

[@youpattube1]

I am so glad that you preserved this piece of history.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. Please keep following our channel to keep up with this and our other projects.

[@jeffreyspilker2209]

Will be awesome to see that run the mill. Nice job getting it fixed.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We agree. Jim and friends have done an awesome job.

[@johnnyknap]

That’s a beautiful sight, will be watching for you hooking it up to the monster cane mill from Keith Rucker’s resorption. Good luck from a chilly UK!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@johnnyknap Thanks. Pretty chilly here too!

[@flockshot1967]

I found Keith Rucker through the Tally Ho project I was following, and now I found your channel through Keith's. I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@flockshot1967 Thanks so much. There are several videos on this channel now and lots more to come.

[@elliottsmith3632]

Good job. I'm amazed at how quiet it runs. Can't wait to see it in action.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Us too. I hope you will follow this and our other projects.

[@phildegruy9295]

Keith sent me. He did a great job on the Cane Mill. Nice to see the original engine running to be paired with it again.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks for coming over.

[@Gogsnik]

Absolutely fantastic. It's great to not only see a piece of history preserved but that there are people willing to put in the time, effort and resources to do so.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We agree!

[@glencrandall7051]

Watched the cane mill restoration by Keith Rucker. Came here via his link. This engine is a beautiful piece of machinery. Be nice if you could dress it up to match the mill.🙂🙂

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

It is a great piece. Thanks.

[@williamsavage6301]

I watched Keith Rucker restore the cane mill. It will be great to see the finished project in use. I have watched Keith work on other projects including other smaller mills but when they leave his shop is the last we see of them.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We will post syrup making videos and lots of other content too.

[@SouthernEngineering]

Like so many, I came here from Keith Rucker's restoration of the Cane Mill. Great story, count myself as a new subscriber. Best of luck with your channel; and thank you for sharing. Blessing, and have a Happy New Year.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thank you! And Happy New Year to you too!

[@kirkwasson7531]

Can’t wait to see the syrup making. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. We hope you will continue to follow our projects.

[@tomjewett5839]

Can't wait until Keith covers this again when you have it running with the cane mill. You are definitely going to have to give the motor a paint job. Keith made your Mill look beautiful. A little time with a wire wheel and a paintbrush will work wonders on that motor. I'm sure you can get the color from Keith making them a matching set again will look awesome.

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks for doing this. I'm here from K. R.'s ch. I subscribed, liked and looks forward to seeing more videos. We have a show like this nearby, always a great time. I appreciate all that goes into making it happen.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks for the support. We hope you enjoy what we do.

[@stevem268]

i've been watching keith's restoration job, looking forward to you getting running off that beautiful engine

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We are looking forward to it too!

[@michaelkunze411]

I can't wait to see both engines work together. Watched Keith's complete series of restoration the cane mill too.

[@mauricekeithjohnson2598]

Well worth following the trail Keith and Sam left !!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy our content.

[@paulputnam2305]

“Professor” Keith sent me over. What a fantastic voyage the land of syrup turned out to be! Thank You so much for having the perseverance to restore the legacy of your family. Absolutely Awesomeness Extreme! “Happy New Year”

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Welcome aboard!

[@willybeeish]

Just seen the last of Keith's cane mill videos; so came over to you to see the engine - fascinating, thank you. Look forward to seeing the two machines coupled up and working. Happy New Year to you all. Bill B - from the UK.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. And Happy New Year to you too.

[@normmcrae1140]

And I thought that Kick-starting my old motorcycle was a chore! 🤣

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

It can be a chore!

[@rodneyhoagland]

we have a 1915 engine just like that we start it with a little gas in the compression release valve. love to hear that sound they make . thank you !!!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We love it too. Thanks for the comment.

[@cernhutch]

Thanks for the cool music! Great video.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@cernhutch Thank you!

[@roberthamilton9730]

Great job and it's so quiet. I hope you find the time to clean it up to the standards of the cane mill Keith just finished. They will look good back together!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks

[@jamesmoe9188]

Happy to be a new subscriber, as with a number of folks I too have arrived by way of Mr. Keith. Love what y'all are doing to preserve not only the machines, but the history and traditions that gave them their original purpose, and bringing that together so they can have a second (or maybe 9th) life.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks so much for the kind words and the support.

[@Dave.w-ev9qn1962]

Well I didn’t expect it to sound like that!! It’s so sweet, you could work along side that all day. Great restoration guys👍 merry Christmas from cornwall 🎄🎄

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks. Merry Christmas to you too.

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Yeah, "sweet" - wait till sugarcane juice will start flowing... ;-)

[@Binachi-n]

Hope to see it working pressing cane. Keith did a great job on the mill.

[@sstem2169]

Thanks for bringing us this video of the engine that will power the “Monster Cane Mill!” I look forward to seeing both machines working in tandem to make the raw materials for creating syrup. Hopefully the rest of the equipment for sugaring can be restored so you can bring us the whole process, from growing the cane, to harvesting, to milling the crop, and then finally boiling the down the syrup! I have liked and subscribed so that I can follow up when everything falls into place. In the meantime, I’ll be sure to enjoy your other videos! Thank you for documenting our mostly forgotten agricultural heritage!!!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thank you! We already posted a video of us planting cane. We appreciate the support.

[@williampugh6699]

Love these old motors.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

We do too!

[@ChuckKirchner-se6ib]

Greetings and Happy New Year from Northern Maine. As per so many below, I come from Keith Rucker's channel. Very much looking forward to seeing this engine performing it's intended function. I also thought I might stay a while to see the other stuff. New Subscriber!!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

Thanks for jumping on here.

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Could the clutch still be laying in one of the sheds at the farm! AL B.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

No sign of it that I know of. It’s a shame, but we are so glad Jim saved as much as he did.

[@kevinwayne7546]

the clutch was trough the belt on it once it is running!

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

I believe Jim has located a clutch for it. Thanks for watching and being a part of our effort.

[@repete2362]

there was a FM engine in an old grain elevator at Temple ND from the horse and wagon days. there was mounts for 2 engines but only one there. much smaller size. it was several miles from town and the railroad. big horse barn ,huge house with big glass batteries in the basement ,a few cabins for the help chinese writing on the walls

[@peterhaan9068]

I believe these engines are referred to as "hot bulb" engines. There was a Polish company that built farm tractors using this technology.

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Actually, these were the copies of Lanz Bulldog German tractors produced under the name (AFAIK) URSUS C-45 ("ursus" is Latin for "a bear", male one I guess, "ursa" being female bear but then again I don't speak Latin), so anyway yes, there were copies, "unlicensed" ones some claim, but that was right after WWII and talking about any "licensing", especially form a state that ruined thoroughly half of Europe and some of the rest of the world too is a poor joke. Czechs produced Junkers planes under "Avia" brand, and every country in Central Europe was producing local copies of German Kriegslokomotiven (War[time] steam locos), but I digress here, and here's a link showing some of these, LANZ BULLDOG and URSUS - the best tractors in the world - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIbWmoh9lMyhitU It's not the best one, just one of the first YT threw back at me, if you search for "Lanz Bullldog" you'll find plenty of them - most of them from Germany, I reckon. Anyway, while at it - one family living in the same village as my maternal grandpa had one of these back then in early '70s, and I, a small kid back then, was utterly fascinated by it - how they started it and the deep "guttural" sound of the engine. They even let me once or twice to jump on it when they rode to their nearby field (it was still used just as a regular farm tractor for ploughing and what not). Anyway, it was loud, it was shaking like crazy, and what an amazing experience it was... : ) But the biggest shock was when I saw how they heated the engine (and the bulb) on one cold spring morning - they didn't have these propane cylinders and burners (nobody had them back then), and they just started a bonfire RIGHT UNDER THE ENGINE - "crude farmers' solutions" indeed... ;-) But hey, it worked! - although at first I thought they'll burn the whole thing... PS: Forgot to add, this "Polish company" making these "Ursus" tractors was named, obviously, "Ursus"

@@kennethfischer9092 We thought we did. We will try to do better next time.

[@MrKotBonifacy]

5:12 - _"to make sure I'm lubricated in the back end"_ well, I guess you meant "the engine", and while at it, that this song "We Heard What She Said But We Knew What She Meant" by Two Ronnies immediately jumped into my mind... ;-) "Two Ronnies Jehosophat & Jones", kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6W1knt5bZWqb6M

[@georgebowers2294]

Modify a johndeere clutch to fit the crankshaft like a gp or 60.

[@InmanFarmHeritageDays]

@@georgebowers2294 We talked about doing just that with a John Deere clutch yesterday, but Jim has located an original clutch for that engine and is hoping to purchase it. Great minds think alike I guess. Good comment. Thanks.

[@johnalexander4356]

Wouldn't it be nice if they made equipment to last and work today?

Yes it would. But we love the old stuff.

What was a wonderful video was spoiled at 10 min. by some God awful noise that some call music.

[@PatrickPoet]

For me it wasn't the music itself that was a problem it was that it was a lot louder than the other audio and really lofi, it gave me anxiety like I was attacked by it so I shut off the video

[@paulcopeland9035]

I don't know what vintage of computer you guys have, but I'm pretty sure most of them have a "volume" control! Please stop the "old geeser" bitching!!
