One Hundred gas engines

Get'em home, got'em home,,,, this was not my deal in the beginning, but the call came in and a deal was made,, I ended up with (28 engines) of the McCormick-Deering (IHC) engines, model M, 1 1/2 and 3 hp,, to be moved to here on the east coast of Arkansas,,,,, the other 51 engines, 7 bases, 8 blocks, 6 sets of flywheels are in middle Tennessee and will be for sale or trade? leave comments, we counted blocks and flywheels as incomplete engines, and in the loading one engine was overlooked and left at the auction site?,, in all this was an easy move, yes it was hot!, until the rain came, and heavy, the more you load,the heavier they get,, it took all day to load as they were loading out the other engines, pick up trucks with trailers were coming and going all day,, I will say the auction company done good as they brought in an extra fork lift just to load this trailer,, and thanks to Wayne and the guy who loaned us the furniture moving dollies,,, thanks to all that helped with this engine move,, thanks,, comments?,,, subscribe, pass it on,,

[@tharlowXY]

"That's flowerbed material right there," hahahahaha. I like it! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!!!

[@RallyIsetta]

Sam - these engines are an important part of our history. You getting them before they hit the scrap heap is a huge service to maintaining this little piece of history. I wish I lived a lot closer to you so I could hang out with you and understand more about these great little and big motors that powered our country.

[@MRrwmac]

Thanks for taking us on the Journey Sam! Memory lane for me because I lived up in the mountains of both NC and TN. The hit and miss was the sound I fell asleep to at night because the little store down in the holler was still running it for electricity way back in the 50's. When I was in the military later, the little village outside the gate in Korea (1968) used one to provide electricity but only until 10pm. Thanks again Sam and wish you all my best in getting them running and selling some!

[@rdmanone]

Looks like Blue Buick has some work to do. Nice find. Mick.

[@barfass]

Wow.... just wow is all that needs to be said!

[@Car-Yap]

I could listen to you tell stories for hours.

[@Shroommduke]

Always liked those old engines even though they're heavy, slow, low power and hazardous they are fucking cool baby!

[@johnminckler4605]

Wow very impressive sir! I've always wanted one of these ol engines.

[@thra5herxb12s]

I think the idea is to preseve as many as possible and pass them on for future generations to wonder at.

[@larryshankle652]

I sure do enjoy your video's. Please keep making them. I have 3 hit and miss engines. 2 of them I am having trouble finding parts for. 1 is a 3hp 1909 George Miller and the other is somewhere between 1907 and 1917 Gilson I think is a Johhny on the spot. none have been able to be fired up yet. Thanks for all your time making and putting up your videos!

[@farenheit1100]

What a group!

[@cwbasye6679]

I got out before the rain came. I brougt extra dolleys with me and thats where yours came from. My wife and I enjoyed the trip down but we got stuck at a motel the next morning our trailer got blocked in for about 2 hours when we were ready to leave.

[@briscollama2521]

Dang...What a huge collection. Hopefully you can get most of them running.

[@mainemikeiii]

Nice... I'd love to find just one to work on and get running... Not sure where to even start looking... Great Video... Just makes me want 20 instead of just one.

[@jeguim123]

I like your engine collection, would love to see you connect one of this maytag engines to a generator to power a small home.

[@ncautoman57]

Wow what a find!! I would have made that trip also..Thanks for sharing. Rich

[@shopdogsam]

,,, the accent is Appalachian American,, being that I done went and grew up in Harlan County Kentucky, up at the Virginia state line,,

[@garyjones2582]

SDS I got your info from Scout Crafter.. Love your collection.. Are any of your engines for sale? I would love to have a small one.. I'm n Tennessee as well, maybe I could come and see your collection.. God Bless..

[@3habaneros]

you could read the phone book and sound interesting , what a great voice

[@lutherhgrindstonemtn3456]

Amazing, simply, Amazing....

[@AlchemistLair]

Finally saw this video and figured out how you got so many of them engines!! The Mother Lode!!!!

[@dosman01302]

Shop Dog Sam, That is one hell of a pile of engines! Love the old iron! Keep it alive!

[@MSalzsieder]

Sam. What a great video. The engine at 7:19, with the hourglass shaped hopper and the hinged sheet metal crank case cover is a WISCONA PEP made in Oshkosh Wisconsin by Termaat and Monahan around 1920.

[@SuperKONR]

That. Is. HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nitro105]

That is unbelievable!! I'm leaving home to move there

[@custardslastcake123]

sir i have been a heavy plant mechanic for some time and to watch your skill level is fantastic love the videos.kind regards from the uk.will.

[@choptmerc]

What a mind boggling find! I'd love to own a hit & miss some day.. The sound is of them I find therapuetic. Not to mention I love tinkering as well. Your videos will be a godsend when I do finally have one of my own. Cheers from Seymour, CT.!!

[@JunkMikesWorld]

A very impressive find!

[@shopdogsam]

,,, I hope it's never to late to say "thank you" as you saved the day with them dollies,,,, sure made it easier to get the engines to the front of the trailer,, as hot the inside of that trailer was, and as heavy the engines were I don't think we could have moved them to the front of that trailer by ourselves,, I will say the auction sale guys helped load about the last 20 or so engines,,, man, we was tired,, again, thank you for the dolllies,, shopdogsam

[@MrBrendog67rat]

that was a good find Dog, have fun!

[@impalabowwow]

I picked up a load of 9 that day, headed to KY. I was strapping everything down when that rain came. It was HOT that day!!!

[@rob16268]

Shopdog road trip. I like it. Good video. Good score!

[@superiormusic]

It's not every day you get the opportunity to purchase 28 engines in one go. Congrats :)

[@SmallEngineMechanic]

Its like an episode of the twilight zone, you were surrounded. A very good weekends work. It would take me weeks to sort out that many!

[@julietwhiskey01]

That's quite a haul, in more ways than one!

[@Eric91611]

"Ya'll know what that is right there" honestly I have absolutely no clue what that is right there.

[@mikes47jeep]

I'd be like a kid in a candy store, i want one of those!... and one of those!....and one of those!....and one of those!....and one of those!....

[@not2fast4u2c]

I've heard of Christmas in July but May ?? that's one big enormous giant huge pile of engines!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mrstuart143]

that looks to be one of the best places ever !!!

[@19stoney64]

I always wanted just one to fire off and listen to every now and then, but this is unbelievable!

[@tsees36]

Geez Louize ShopDog! You got yer sef some projects there. Good Stuff...

[@finpainter1]

heck of a collection

[@shopdogsam]

,,, to the point of being life changing,, it's a lifetime's work just to get this many running (not even thinking about rebuilding 'em),, but fun, you know, just think about it,, it's a half day job just to keep rust away,,,, but funnnnn,, thanks

[@FireDropTechnologies]

Boilers are made by filling your boiler tube with tamped sand, OR filled with Brass while hot, and then bent to shape, and the brass melted out, Or sand emptied , then each coil welded to the joined manifold, The burner is from two, three burner pump up colman stoves, or a set of blow lamps,

[@62346]

You done good Son!

[@FireDropTechnologies]

I mean who needs a spark plugs, when they have big brass ball's , And Blow lamps!

[@NewRiverRepair]

Shopdogsam that there is a fine group of engines thar! I can tell youre tickled. Have some fun Sam! Thanks for the video

[@csmtag92]

awesome!!!!!!

[@JonGreene]

Too bad I cant find a place like that here in Oklahoma!

[@gbowne1]

Aww comeon I wanted the popcorn lol

[@Baldwin587]

Now THAT'S what I call heaven! You sure are lucky...

[@1968hambone]

looks like a good score sam!

[@MountainStorm]

I got one of them pop up things when I saw all them engines

[@FireDropTechnologies]

Oh? and the feed water? It's turned on by mercury switches "Like a mechanical temp sender from a truck" or the thermo coupling from a propane camper heater. or a cook stove, instead of the thermo coupling turning the fuel to the heater on or off? it turns the feed water on when it would have in the heater turned the burner down.

[@markomalley2386]

SHOP DAAAAAAWG SAM

[@Mr3wheeledbike]

Sam looks like you came to see me or got close but what a good price for one of them engines in a parts state

[@birdwing98]

Dear Mr. Sam, I enjoy all your videos; even the ones about cooking cornbread. You'll stay young and live a good life if you promise yourself to restore all 99 engines before you go to the great shop in the sky! BTW, I had a dear friend whose daddy was a tool and die man for the railroad. I think she was born in a railroad town outside of Little Rock. Can't remember the name of the place.

[@shopdogsam]

,,, I only got the International Harvesters,, 26 in all, and have added two more,, and only rebuilt four to out the door running condition,, and I don't think I will get them all running before time runs out,,,,, but I think it's going to be fun until then,,, now back to cleaning rusty parts?,,, yes it's fun,,

[@defuse56]

All I can say is, "Oh. My. God"!

[@ejpmooB]

Whoever did that accent is a great actor.

[@shopdogsam]

Daniël Boomsma ,,,, it's me,,, all me,,,

[@1337bman]

Its his dream come true. lucky!

[@phill903]

[@HITNMISSNUT]

[@41Zman]

Lucky dog !

[@Rex46947]

Geeze, and I would like to find just one here in my area !!!! Hope you have fun and make some vids. about rebuilding some of them.

[@p1stolp.521]

why am I reading all these comments with that accent?

[@zenosxr]

I've only heard that particular accent from East TN (The Bowl), I would be surprised if you didn't have family here. I would LOVE to get my hands on an old engine like that to rebuild, but time is a factor. I'll have to look around, out here in farm country surely there are a few around....

[@Shumayal]

shopdogsam Lol. The irony. One engine pulling another 100 engines :D

[@sjflynn2010]

I would like just one

[@Qusin111]

Boat anchor heaven

[@GasserGlass]

[@WARFOX101]

[@CraftedChannel]

Best draw ever. Liked.

[@FireDropTechnologies]

Basic patterns "Though be it for the wrong type of far more expensive Cat Triplex " Found on Steam car dot net.

[@MrCrazybobman]

Love your videos. You should do a reality show!

[@kd5byb]

Give me a holler if you decide to sell any of the engines located in middle Tennessee - I'm in the north coast of Alabama and wouldn't mind adding one or two more to my collection... Thanks much!

[@turdferguson256]

yes. that's what the future generations need. 100 gas engines. Oh man, they'll travel from all over the world to "WONDER" at them. I can see putting a couple in a museum or some shit, but 100? hell no. that shits gonna end up on his lawn next to the moldy couch and the pile of empty big gulp cups.

[@danielmurph2899]

your one lucky man

[@thra5herxb12s]

Let me loose in there...

[@xlclassic1234]

now thats a motor hoard :)

[@browncarp]

That truck in the background at 10:50, is that the one in your "Road trip, rat rod" video?

[@BriggsAndStratton101]

so did you like buy all the ones in your trailer or did someone else buy those?

[@robertsalser848]

Wow, What a collection of iron. How many are running now. I only have one left myself, an International 1HP Mogul, not slant hopper.

[@billwiley3475]

I can never find these auctions

[@chuckbear1961]

Sounds like Larry the Cable guy AKA Tow Mater

[@bertlambert3817]

didn't see ya at Denton Shopdog...maybe next year.

[@bbishoppcm]

HOLY CHRIST!!! Save them buggers from the smelting furnace!!

[@madisonvillegirl1]

I could use one of those. I'll take the little FM Z please.

[@cj15941]

DAD GUM MR. SAM!!!!!!!!! I'm as about as jealous as anyone can be!!!!! What's the big big one @6:34-6:43?? Or can a longer video be made of it so I can do some good ole research and find out for myself?

[@lyon406]

hen I lived in Nebraska I use to go to the hit-miss show at the fairs. This is Americas heritage and how the early farmers worked. get'em home......who said you have an accent??????

[@robertedwards4875]

Just a few questions Sam. Approximately how much do those old scrap engines cost? What do you do with them once you get one running? Sell them? Who buys them? Did we treat you ok when you were in NC?

[@iwantosavemoney]

o man and I just would like 1 or 2

[@Bowtie41]

I'd buy 'em all and sell 0,lol.If you don't mind,what'd 100 of 'em set you back dollar wise?

[@dr15700]

I have about 70 Johnson Iron Horse Engines... any interest ??

[@joedell71]

Hi sam. What a great find this is like gearhead nirvana. How much did you pay for the lot if you don't mind me asking. Great video

[@giberish9]

How much were they going for? Must of been a real good price to go that far to get them.

[@frontsight74]

Looking at moving away from the big diesels I work on and playing with one of these. Are any for sale? Thanks for your time and great score...

[@jefmeller3177]

Wow! And all I want is one. I have an old cider press with a flat pulley on the side, obviously for a flat belt that used to run off an old hit & miss. I doubt i'd need more than 1hp. maybe 1/2, or 1/3. I really don't know. Let me know when you get one running & want to sell one you think I might need. I've been looking off & on for years. There's just not to many out on the west coast.

[@peterbilttrucking2023]

would you ever sell any of them. I have been looking for some a hit or miss engine. you got lucky finding all of these

[@regaskin]

Holy fuck

[@AntiqueEngineNut]

id be interested in any fairly compleat stovers
