FAIRBANKS MORSE Big OLD Engines COLD STARTING UP AND COOL SOUND 5

Do you like these FAIRBANKS MORSE ENGINES ?

[@momtenjillian987]

Hell to the yeah. I worked there in Beloit Wi. It was a pride and duty to create the monstrous Pielstick propulsion units for the U.S. Navy. Our O.P. engines were used in countless locomotive and power generation units. I bleed pride when looking back at my career there. It was an awesome union job that supported my family of 6. That factory drove economic opportunity for the region and beyond. That it's still there today is a testament to the labor force and management working together to craft these powerful engines

Pielstick OPs in "countless" locomotives? Yeah right. "Countless" because you can't count to none.

[@momtenjillian987]

@@deeremeyer1749 Alco O.P. engines. I made numerous parts for them. We made several different engines for a broad range of applications. "Our O.P.s" doesn't identify them as Pielstick, you made that leap 🤔

[@JudeGhent]

actually the most insane thing i've seen on youtube i love it

[@haraldpettersen3649]

The first is a lovely old power pack, it could do service today if needed. Listen to the lovely sound, no bearing knocking to be heard.

[@deeremeyer1749]

Why would there be?

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

Awesome old machines ! 👍

[@calbrock6302]

They were blooming lovely

Great engines!! Fairbanks Morse built different engines for different purposes.

[@chrisheartworks1483]

It all began in the small town I grew up in. I hated to see them tear down the original factory. I spent many days wandering through it (shuttered) as a child daydreaming of what once was. FM put St. Johnsbury on the map and the Fairbanks family philanthropy is still a cornerstone in the many structures that still exist.

[@tractorsandengines]

How are you guys ? :)

[@thomasweidemann]

Sehr großartig ,Herrlich

[@gwwayner]

We are spoiled these days, but we need to remember that way back in those days these machines freed us from manual labor drudgery and allowed mass production.

عالی بود 👍👍👍

[@davebarnhart9415]

Did that engine stretch the head bolts on start up? I seen exhaust come out of what looks like the head.

[@ampere-mam]

You will never see a diesel or gasoline engines manufactured with so much robustness today...

[@piterrowerna5]

Super;;

[@paulhickey4485]

Would like to hear these engines run under load.

[@IsleOfFeldspar]

Do the old engines use piston rings?

[@brenohighland1168]

yep

[@НиколайЕлькин-у3ж]

2х тактник, не все цилиндры работают, но как демонстрационный экспонат!

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Fairbanks Morse engines should be either gray or green. Ried Engines being red.

[@brownwrench]

#4 on the first engine is not firing
