RARE ANTIQUE ENGINE OILER COLLECTION and DOMESTIC HIT & MISS ENGINE (1911)

[@BrokeMoFo]

Very nice display... My father and I had the privilege to meet an old man that was bent into an upside down "L" , literally.. He couldn't look at you unless he sat down, he was in his late 80's and this was more than ten or 15 years or so ago... He was more than impressed with our knowledge of old engines and such, and all of the sudden, with a grin, told us, "you wait here",,, he went into the cellar opening of his rather quaint old house with field-stone walls, dirt floor, and retro fitted doors and eventually come out with an all glass oiler of rather good size and said to us, "you two take it"... "It was the oiler off of my fathers 1909 international upright..." Well, weather it's an accurate oiler for that engine or not, we graciously took it with a LARGE amount of reluctance that we openly expressed and were deeply grateful for... In what research we could find it seems to be legit for what he had told us! We still have it, and take special care of it, being that it's story is far more worth the discussion than it's actual use would ever be.... So I guess you could say it's become a "tounge oiler"...... The conversation sometimes is worth more than the object. Thank you sir.

[@805ROADKING]

Cool Story!! It's funny, the engine Rob usually brings to the shows is a 1909 International Upright, It's called an International Famous Engine!!☺

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Great story BMF. Gotta love and respect that generation. So much knowledge. Chuck in NE Kansas

[@chriholt]

Wow that was fascinating listening to Rob. That engine and the amazing oiler collection were really something to see. Thanks for taking us along!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah the best part of the Shows is hanging out with him at night around a campfire and shoutin' the shit!!☺

[@CraigArndt]

Love it when a 6’ 6” guy gives information on a lever oil cup or a bottom feed Oiler. Good job Rob. Thanks EJ.

[@RamblinAround]

That's a cool collection he has there. Thanks for giving us a look!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks for checking it out Bud!!☺

[@kenzpenz]

Dang, does this man know his stuff. You can tell he is enjoying talking about all these oilers, as much as I enjoy listening to him. He can tell exactly how each and every piece operates. I would love to be there in person to see this equipment, and listen to him talk. Great video, thanks for sharing...Ken, Marina California .

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah I like hangin' with him, he's a Sharp Guy!!☺

[@nashguy207]

Rob seems like a great guy. He has one awesome collection of oilers I learned a lot watching this. Thanks RK great video!!!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks for watching Bob!! Yeah Rob's the best!!☺

[@BrucesShop]

That engine recirculates gas like fuel injection which is what it is. Atmospheric fuel injection. Thanks RK -------------------It isn't for sale. That would be like selling one of the kids. haha. I can see some of those old oilers on ships, Tractors, Generators. TOO COOL. I want a hit and miss engine . Mrs Bruce is going to have to expand our horizons. All this old technology and Rob has a cell phone in his pocket. Great stuff.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! We just picked up another H&M engine last weekend at a Show!! We'll post a video of it soon!!☺

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Love the show videos and especially this one. Rob is a very intelligent and passionate man when it comes to his hobbies. I could have listened to him dissert for hours. Why Everett, are you always in a hurry and "don't want to make this video too long?" Longer videos are good when the content is supportive. Hell - let him ramble. He's a smart man! Chuck in NE Kansas

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Chuckie, I could listen to him all day, however most people look at the length of a video and not the content!! Anything over 20-25 minute most people won't even look at it!!☺

[@ihus9950]

Thanks for the video, your friend sure has some awesome stuff, love the hit & miss engine! Take care Rk 👍

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah Rob's an interesting Guy!!☺

[@txsviking]

Its so cool to hear the backstory on this wonderful collection.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah I could listen to him all day, He's a sharp Dude!!☺

[@OldCarAlley]

Oilers were super cool and interesting... glad you videoed them!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks for watching Bud!!☺

[@machiningbasics1729]

Some of those lubricators are amazing!!! Never seen some like that. Great explanation on the steam oilers they mix the oil and steam/condensate. That’s why steam oil is different to bearing oil as it mixes

[@357magdad]

I enjoyed the Jacktown show! First time back for me in 20 years! Found some good rusty old tools to restore in the flea market!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah the Flea Market is good, especially the Spring Show!!☺

[@stationaryenginesworldwide]

great video!! love his passion for those oilers..

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

So awesome , Great share King !

[@homotorsports]

I was thinking about you yesterday...i had a cust. that asked me to grind his rear diff. center section on his Tacoma and coat it with epoxy ....Were epoxy brothers....cool oilers

[@805ROADKING]

Epoxy holds the World together!!☺

[@TheFurriestOne]

That's enough oilers to lube a small factory! Great collection Rob has there!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@ron827]

As I have said before, the probability of an engine starting is inversely proportional to the number pf people watching.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very interesting stuff. Loved all those oilers.

[@MegaDirtyberty]

That man knows his stuff!, very interesting listening to him.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! He's a Sharp Dude!!☺

[@ogrebeast64]

I got up there a bit too late to see you, but I did get to see the big Snow fired up.

[@radracer2033]

I had no idea there were so many types of oilers! And I wonder what the intended purpose of the seat on that Domestic skid would be. Maybe farmers would turn them into wagons like Rob did

[@radracer2033]

I get that they could be made into carts, I think the main thing I'm confused about is why they came with a seat and no wheels from the factory? You think they would either have no seat or put it on wheels

[@malcolmbeecher8378]

Love hit and miss engines

[@allenmckinney9533]

Pretty cool. I don't get to see shows like that in my area.

[@BigGaz1953]

I love that ols engine mate. $200 in 1916 would have been a huge sum of money. Just checked. A bit under 5K today

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@goodnough1]

Nice and informative.

[@rdg2124]

$200 in 1916 is almost $4,850 today. Nice video.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@movingforward6099]

Cool stuff !

[@matthewanderson7766]

You should have walked around and showed more of the stuff

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@johnstrange6799]

Nice oilier collection.

[@eifionjones559]

enjoyed your video and subscribed since my interest is modeling old steam plants, ex merchant navy engineer , you might be surprised about the age of some of the machinery on old ships when I started out

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@ziggassedup]

How very cool.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks for checkin' it out Mate!!☺

[@heyitsdrew]

most of the railroad workers were immigrants like Chinese especially. so yes the shovels would be shorter to accommodate their height

[@gregwilliams3144]

Just asking are you at Rough and Tumble fall fire up?

[@805ROADKING]

Nah that was the Jacktown Show (Bangor Pa) last July!!☺

[@MrBrendog67rat]

your funny! "you won't find one in my hands"

[@skycarl]

Now there is some unique history. Love that stuff. In today's money,, that 1916 engine would be about 4800 bucks. No small change. btw,,, looks like a nor easter may be scooten by you soon. Hang on to the umbrellas pal.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! We're suppose to get pounded tonight about 11PM!!☺

[@chuckhaynes6458]

The best drip oilers were designed and built by a Black man named Elijah McCoy. Hence the expression "The real McCoy". Just one of many rail road expressions that have become part of our vernacular.

[@Ellenslife851]

If I owned this it would have lever steer and set up ready to drive

[@SKYKING310]

The reason for the seat and foot rest the engine could be pulled around with a horse and bridal

[@rogeroconnor5182]

didnt make it this year,im having some health issues again....looked like a nice turnout

[@805ROADKING]

Nah, it actually sucked, only about half full!! Me and Mike left Saturday night about 8PM and there were only 5 engine displays left!!☺

[@rogeroconnor5182]

@@805ROADKING ,no kidding.... that's a shame.

[@twocvbloke]

Oilers, they're a slippery subject... :P

[@805ROADKING]

Aye yi yi!!☺

[@gregwilliams3144]

Or steam up I forgot my father was big on the rough and tumble 🙂

[@TheAmpair]

Not a shovel, it's a hickory handled coal conveyor, manually powered. Without the proper name you have to mark off the working area with orange cones since shovels are inherently dangerous. (Well known fact.) On the other hand, nobody was ever knocked about the ear with a coal conveyor during a discussion, so cones are unnecessary, saving many $$.50.

[@wyattoneable]

Boy talk about great gas mileage.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! I've run some of my H&M engines all day long on less than a quart!!☺

[@1jtolvey]

REAL - MCOY --- OILERS = FACT OR FICTION ??
