That thing looks like pure American history!

[@kc8orw]

it is and it still works

[@gibolin24]

Hello I will never get tired ...... Thank you......

[@FroggyTWrite]

love how that thing was built all around a trailer that still has tires on it

[@yt650]

Nice Reid engine. I’ve owned a few. Love it running on the hot tube.

[@ToolofSociety]

Thank you for giving us the name of the engine.

[@jimconly753]

cool to see an old one still working

[@yt650]

There is a lot to see on a Reid Engine, of what I could see it looks original and even the pipe fittings look original, different than what is made today fitting wise. Regardless the engine is worth a few bucks especially complete way it is there. You would be stunned at how much the fittings are worth alone. Look into getting a “lollipop” for the charging cylinder rod. You can find them online as reproductions with bolt and that would save a fair amount of lubing of the side rod bearing.

WONDERFUL

Hello. Not a week without coming, see listen to this mechanism

[@gibolin24]

I can’t get enough of it........

[@rosewhite---]

I hope this complete assembly is kept and preserved exactly as is for enthusiasts to see. There must have been thousands such rigs just scrapped and bulldozed away?

[@erickellogg8532]

they belong in a museum

[@gibolin24]

Rube Goldberg comes to mind.

[@scottpecora371]

Question, what is the secondary piston on the side? Is that acting like a boost pump presserizing the intake?

[@misner3485]

This engine is a 2 stroke, the cylinder with the outside con rod is the scavenge air pump. Check out Reid oilfield engines.

[@dispatch444]

Anyone else notice that huge wasp nest?

[@adventureswithdavedave]

Is this available for the public to see?

[@kc8orw]

Yes

[@adventureswithdavedave]

@@kc8orw where? I tried googling but couldn't find a location

[@gibolin24]

Hello....

[@anotherdave5107]

what makes this and oil well? where is (time stamp) a pipe with oil being pumped out of it.

[@DereksGarage]

NO where did the description claim to be an oil well. it claimed to be an oil well pump jack. Which is exactly what it is.

[@thequadzillaking]

Creepy.
