How A 1939 Engine Should Work

[@OddBr18g]

Love that the autotext says music when the engine is running

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hahaha, yes better than most of todays music! /Richard

[@danielburke8350]

I follow a bunch of channels on KZbin, but there are about 3 or 4 that make me feel like a kid at Christmas when they publish a new video... and this is the best of all. Thanks for all the fascinating content!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and a huge thanks! Glad you like it. Greetings from Sweden!

[@andrevankeulen1249]

Same here 😅

[@dogleg6669]

Love that you use vintage torches on a vintage machine. So happy I found your channel.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Thanks. Yes i like them old torches. Works very well. /Richard

[@stationaryenginesworldwide]

definitely one of the best channels on utube...thank you

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thank you so much! Would not be anything without my followers! /Richard

[@johnleerichardson6220]

You are a master sir I do not worry about your enunciation you remind me of an old friend who's a master Carpenter from Switzerland

[@FAMUCHOLLY]

Love your videos. Your knowledge and skill shows through and I like your attention to detail. My 94 year old father grew up in the countryside and has always been interested in machinery, especially internal combustion engines so he will love this channel too (he is French and Irish and a retired electrical engineer who still tinkers so this is right down his alley.) Thank you for the content.

[@richwhitaker1506]

Very interesting video. You clearly enjoy this mechanical work and you are an excellent teacher. Looking forward to more. Stay well.

[@makeitwork583]

What he said! Really enjoyed your style of doing things! Be well.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thank you all! /Richard

[@Ioughtaknowbetter]

I like how you explain all of the devices and how they work. Thank you!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thanks! Yes, i try to explain because it's always interesting if you dont know as a wiewer. /Richard

[@clomb1234]

Very cool seeing these old engines running. A testimony to simple design and quality manufacturing. Thank you.

[@PunchesCouches]

Glad KZbin recommended this channel.

[@craigbowley6783]

I love these old machines and your knowledge of them is amazing! They were so simple in design and due to their simplicity made to last forever! Absolutely genius!

[@Wheelloader__]

Great video. 82 years and still running.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, it probably will 82 years from now also. /Richard

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Nice work. I am enjoying your videos.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thank you! 😊 /Richard

[@MostlyInteresting]

Two stroke semi diesels seem to have been more popular in small portable sizes there than in the states. We had lots of huge Fairbanks Morse engines back in the pre electric days running everything that was not steam.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, a bit weird that you didn't have any of these. In the states it seems to be as you say, huuuge engines on like 150hp and up, and smaller hit n' miss ones on up to 10hp. Not many mid-range ones.

[@robnorth8514]

It's amazing how something so old can run so perfect. Just think, people think we computers to make stuff run like that now. Not to mention it, unlike modern engines, can run in both directions. It's good to have men like you that still knows how to make old stuff like that run.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@andrewmosher5800]

I just started watching your videos. Very well done with a bit of humour.. taking a bath in the coolant water.. I have a few make and break engines.. that’s what we call them in Nova Scotia.. not hit and miss.. but I recently bought a hoag oil engine and I know nothing about it but I will learn from you.. thank you.. Andrew Mosher

[@martinalan4062]

Very interesting and informative. Its nice to watch someone who really understands their machinery.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thanks! /Richard

[@jockmchaggis6797]

A runaway on a hit and miss engine would be a terrifying thing to see! That old Scania is some sweet truck, would be cool to see a bit about it too

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, the big 35hp ones weighs 3500kg. And the engine lifts from the ground when comming up in high (like 500) rpm. Not fun att all.

[@jockmchaggis6797]

@@YesterdaysMachinery yep I'd be making for the door in long exaggerated steps if that thing went off at 500+rpm behind me That's one hell of a lot of mass flying around 😱

[@kevinj97045]

I love learning and watching how these oldtimers run.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@brianyoung9014]

Really like the new engine, and the scania truck. Greetings from California.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi there! Thanks 😊 /Richard

[@steventempler9319]

Love those old engines I could watch them all day only wish I could get one for my own

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi, yes i really enjoy them too. I have a 35hp oil engie in my sawmill. It is a joy to work with that beast working hard. /Richard

[@rustybum2]

Absolutely fascinating ! You are a very knowledgeable young feller, thanks for sharing and best regards from an "old geezer" in Ireland.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@ashlynntaylor6045]

A very nice old engine, and a very well made video explaining the features of it. Looking forward to maybe seeing you putting the engine to work.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thanks mate! /Richard

[@gavmansworkshop5624]

The piston holding the shelf is awesome! I'll have to do that 👍

[@craigbowley6783]

Just amazing! Few people have ever heard a 2 stroke engine run like that!

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Wow great video thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Nice to hear from Detroit. I have own quite a few cars from over there. A -56 Packard was my first car. /Richard

[@jonhoyles714]

what a lovely bit of old kit that’s made my day seeing that richard cheers great video x

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@wazzazone]

Great old engine. Keep up the good work.

[@raymondmumford6255]

Your knowledge is so comprehensive regarding these awesome machines, this was an awesome find.

[@alexbetteridge8200]

Just found you!! Working our way through your productions fantastic stuff. Keep it up.🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Thanks mate! /Richard

[@regsparkes6507]

This engine seems to be running rather well, and this makes for a interesting video too. Thanks for this.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Ye, it takes at least 3 times longer when filming than just working. /Richard

[@mini454]

Dear Sir , i really so happy to see your video's especially on vintage machines and about valuable information sharing with us. I really so impressive and thankful to you everything. God bless you always 🙏 🎉❤

[@jasonkuehl639]

Such a beautiful running engine! I love going to the antique equipment shows and seeing the old stationary engines running. Most of what I've seen here in the center of the USA is gasoline or drip gas from oil wells, I can't recall seeing diesel engines. Every time I see one of your videos pop up, I have to watch it. Even the fuel pump rebuild you did a while back was great, keep up the amazing work! 🙂

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Thanks 😊 /Richard

[@pjsequipmentservicessouth]

Greetings from sunny Florida 🌞 I love the old Scania truck, would definitely like to see a video on that! I’m glad you save all these old engines, they are history that not many people care about anymore. When I lived in Pennsylvania I used to go to the Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association, 33acres of all old equipment.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Here it is snowing now! But i like snow better that heat anyway 😁 Yes i will make a vid with the Scania as well! /Richard

[@the_hate_inside1085]

Love the cover to the reed value, it is looking pretty solid.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Everything is solid cast iron. 1800kg total. /Richard

[@glensmiley4143]

Really like these old engines. Thanks

[@dustcommander100]

It is amazing to watch a skilled individual such as yourself handling these machines! I used to attend engine shows with my father, and large 2-stroke diesels were started with compressed air. It is outstanding that you can manipulate the flywheel and start this one!

[@marksbikeexports5123]

I know that pat at around 4mins .............you are in love already

[@robertg.2346]

Another great video with an old engine, makes my Monday a happy day 👍

[@wimdelange6019]

Hi there, good evening, 👍👍👍 this is marvellous!! It's like going back to the past!! Very well explained, thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching your video! Best regards, with season greetings from a small village in the middle of the Netherlands, for all of you stay healthy!!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi and thanks! Nice to hear from you! //Richard

[@BensWorkshop]

That engine runs really well. Good work.

[@Bret4207]

Great find Richard! Those old engines are amazing. I can see you have a lot of experience with them. I'd be interested in your truck too as older trucks are always interesting! Stay warm friend!

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes the old Scania will appear in a video soon! /Richard

[@johnvaluk1401]

So interesting the old engine technology. Thank you.

[@henrybartlett1986]

Love the starting technique. Very nifty.

[@jeremyramsey5779]

It's really interesting to me what you do don't ever stop!!!

[@georgejohnson1498]

Dear Richard, I really enjoyed this. I would love to have such an engine, and drive emergency electricity generator off it. Best wishes from George in Herefordshire, UK

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi there! Yes that would be quite efficent. Run it on free wast oil. /Richard

[@tectalabyss]

Thank you for showing and explaining these great pieces of history. Love the truck at the end of the video. I hope you will do a video on it. All my very best.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

I will! Thanks! /Richard

[@gertabour9509]

You have a brown leather vest on. You are my hero.

[@scotteakins7203]

I wish someone would start building these. Using modern bearings ignition & cooling system. In a 8 to 12 horsepower. I'd buy 1 in a heartbeat!

[@SilntObsvr]

Go search for "stationary engines for sale" -- apparently you can still buy stationary diesel engines in this power range. MUCH smaller than the 1939 model in this video (modern 4-stroke high compression injection-timed diesel, I think). Should run cleaner, too, I'd guess. Quite cheap, though most likely you'll pay as much to ship to you as to buy the engine.

[@gertabour9509]

Richard are you sick? You are a madman. Just kidding, this is AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work! From Florida

[@stewartwyld5180]

I do like your shelf bracket!

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Beast of an engine, loved it. There's a certain beauty to these old designs, fiddling non-stop with the controls like an organist with a Wurlitzer organ. Well done, Richard. It was worth subscribing. Cheers.

[@hotandzee]

That is a really lovely engine, thank you for sharing with us.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Like the sound of Scania, brings some memories back. Mostly of busses. 🙂

[@kevinf92]

Gorgeous engine, sounds fantastic. And I definitely want to see more of that Scania truck! :)

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes many viewers seem interested in that old Scania sonit has to be a vid out of it 🙂 /Richard

[@kevinf92]

It's a beauty :)

Hi and thanks! /Richard

[@mikego18753]

Very enjoyable vid. Thanks.

[@OSXMan]

How does one learn to operate and repair such equipment? It's like you're a time traveler from 100 yrs ago. Your videos are fascinating.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Just learning by doing. Quite basic this engines really, but a bit scary at first. Everything is heavy. /Richard

[@P61guy61]

Excellent. Thank you for posting

Thank you! /R

[@schoubrian]

Nice video, i think you should try with a better mic, you always have some nice information and it would be nice here you better and hear the different engines to.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, i will invest in one. /Richard

[@dekon70]

Great stuff!

[@Rodger-i6b]

Love the channel, keep up the great work!

[@SilntObsvr]

You know, your collection of pump-pressurized blowtorches is almost as interesting as your collection of old engines and machinery. I think I still have a no-pump (heat pressurized) gasoline blowtorch I got at a second hand store almost forty years ago, but I haven't tried to fire it in decades.

[@bigtrev8xl]

Very impressive start up 👍👍👌👌

[@douro20]

It's nice that it was only just too tight of a governor spring which caused it to run away. From what year is that Scania?

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes probably. The scania is a L50 from 1968. /Richard

[@bigears4426]

Amazing old technology

[@adolfojg1]

I would love to see the engine doing work, like saw mill or something else

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Yes, i have run a stone crusher with it and that worked out grate. I have a 35hp crude oil engine running my sawmill. /Richard

[@bigblue1402]

Absolutely fantastic 👏

[@spontanvideok246]

This diesel machine is really amazing. 😍I like it so much that you preheat the nozzles with a gas lamp so you can easily start by turning the flywheel manually. And that wonderful Clicking sound. I love her voice. 😍😍 I really like every video you upload about your amazing Diesel machines. At what speed does the flywheel or V-belt pulley rotate?

[@holzgestalt]

[@larrykelly2838]

Amazing engine

[@stilltlrforlife]

Omg.....your channel is going to grow into a masterpiece!! Can I please come and play with these engines with you, I will work for very cheap!! Im not kidding lol..

[@3nines999]

I'm a new subscriber and love your channel. 1 question, why is there such a large gap below the workshop door and the floor? Keep up the great video's.

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Hi! Because first this building was just a wagon shed. Then i isolated the walls, made a concrete floor. And i will make new doors also, when time is at my side. /Richard

[@JCWren]

That was really interesting. What will you do with the engine now?

[@YesterdaysMachinery]

Use it for my firewood machines. But this kind of engines you can own without doing any good with them. Start them up and have as a radio. /Richard

[@tamoroso]

Nicely done! Question: what kind of oil do you use for these engines? It doesn't seem likely that they use regular motor oil; not sure the API or European equivalent existed back then, or if it did, whether they were writing standards,

[@johanneskoedood2235]

Richard how hard is it in Sweden to get a 0-turn station Engin I find the few engines you did restaurations very good even the cultivator and the wood gorilla tree hauler
