Best "Can we get it Running" video I have. 1913 Crude Oil.

My best Find so far. And only 1km from home. A Beijer 5-6Hp made in 1913.
A very interesting and rare engine. I have known aboute this engine for years, but now i got the chance own it. And so it went. Very happy to have this in my collection!

my friend you need to STOP using your hand as a hammer. Believe me you will pay dearly in your later years. I am 66 and a retired millwright and made this same mistake. I pay in pain every day now. Do as you will but you have been told ! Stop trying to move that wrench by hitting with your hand please. Love your videos !

[@davidelliott5843]

I’m in my mid 60s hands are fine but my apprenticeship taught me to use the correct tools. Hammers hit things. Hands hold hammers. Use a soft face hammer to persuade spanners or better use a longer spanner.

[@tonyrandall8703]

I heard this all the time and now I’m 38 and hands and wrists hurt. Nerve pain in the my right hand. I ran Bridgeport mills and slammed the wrench to release collets more than I can remember. Did the same in construction slamming pry bars and other tools all the time.

I've never considered myself a mechanic, but these old engines have always called to me. Once in Ohio, I had the pleasure of seeing a handful of them at a maple festival, I watched for hours!

[@trouty7947]

It's about the peak of what can be done with "just your hands" so to speak. You are in control of every step needed to fix, run, and build these things. Once you start needed electronics to be involved, I think you start attracting different crowds that like working with those things. But if someone wants something that doesn't need any programming, and you can build replacement parts yourself, this is it.

[@OSXMan]

This is truly some of the best content on youtube! These old machines are works of art, from elegant to whimsical, but always ready to work. I have to watch sections of this video again, because I don't want to miss anything. The engineering is awe inspiring. Every single part has a purpose. Thanks for taking us along!

If you have ever tried to make something like that yourself from scratch you would understand why they are so dead simple. Every extra complication adds so much extra work and pain and possible mistake you will need to fix.

[@pedropinheiro1417]

You simply got to admit these old mechanical marvels were engineered and built by absolute geniuses. I mean, look at the simplicity of the regulator mechanism. Nowadays, to replace a simple joint and a weight, they would install a myriad of sensors, circuit boards and microcontrollers filled to the brim with opaque software using last generation planned obsolescence driven design... Anyway, thank you for the excellent video!

109 years old and still strong. It looks to have been well taken care of in spite of its age. A beauty of an engine. Luck be it YT recommended this video a few hours after the second part in this series came out. Subbed for the simple, hands down approach. Cheers.

[@franktuckwell196]

Love watching and learning from your vids. I remember when i was at horticultural college in 1982 that we used two rotovators. One was a merry tiller ( 1947 ) and the other was a much earlier model that was diesel powered, a real faff to start, ( 1909 ): which involved offering a paraffin soaked lit rag on the end of a drain rod into an open cavity to encourage the diesel to ignite and cranking the starter at the same time. The funny thing was that although a bugger to start, the older machine, once started was much easier to control and didn't spin and dig itself into the heavy clay soil we were working on, like the much later merry tiller did.

[@davidhorn6008]

[@warrenjones744]

I recently was made aware of your channel by a friend and find it to my liking. I like mechanical things that you can service with simple tools such as an adjustable wrench, screwdriver and hammer. The fuel system is a work of art. The water pump is also simply wonderful in design. Very interesting these early cross head oil engines are. Cheers

[@tectalabyss]

I am very much looking forward to the next part on ,this engine. I Liked,shared. All my very best.

[@evanofelipe]

I have a reverence and respect for these old stationary engines that I believe stemmed from visits to my great Uncles’s Farm as a small child. I was allowed to stand close and watch as a 5 year old, the milking machine that was powered by a stationary engine mounted outside the milking parlour. It was started twice a day and I was fascinated by the regular popping sound and whirring fly wheel, connected by belt drive to the pumps and cooling machines inside the Milking Parlour. The rhythm and sounds captivated and excited me, being totally unaware the inherent dangers of getting too close to the exposed machinery. Health and safety considerations were unheard of in those days. At the end of milking I remember it was never easy to actually get the engine to start or stop, valves would be turned off, but somehow the engine would splutter and start up again much to the aggravation of my uncle who cursed it furiously. It seemed to have a life of its own. That was over 70 + years ago, when life was much simpler then and I also remember suddenly being aware of the birds singing again around the Farm yard after the engine had stopped.

[@PAINFOOL13]

[@AtlasLathe]

In Florida we have the Florida Flywheelers club. I am sure Texas has something similar, Ask the old guys at a Tractor show they collect all kinds of old engines and know who has them

[@stxrynn]

@@AtlasLathe I will do that. They used to have an old tractor meet about 60 miles east of here. I dig into that. Thanks for the advice!!!

[@AtlasLathe]

@@stxrynn keep in mind they love to talk and it may take some time. Most of them are very helpful especially if you are younger and are interested in working on the old mechanical treasures. I am in my 50s I wish more young people would take more time to learn from our older generation before they are gone. Good luck on your search. I am currently working on a 71 troy bilt tiller rebuild for the garden that may be necessary soon. I like the 4 jaw Chuck in the profile

[@cmleoj]

I know what you mean about the scarcity of old iron in South Texas. I don’t see much in Central Texas. I lived in Colorado for a few years and my son and I drove up to Wyoming to pick up a lathe and the fellow had half a dozen hit and miss engines sitting in his warehouse. He offered to sell me the worst one for $40! The South Bend lathe had filled up the truck bed so I decided to pass. Those old engines are all over the MidWest, some still running!

@@YesterdaysMachinery Dear Richard, I would love to have a proper hot bulb engine. I remember in the 1960s in Moss [Noway] listening to the fishing boats coming in with their chu-chi-chu sounds and seeming very low revs. Seeing the beautiful but really simple engineering taken to pieces and made to work is so enjoyable for me, who grew up on a farm in Herefordshire. We had three tractors in those days. A Massey Ferguson 65 [203 Perkins], a Fordson Major with a six cylinder Perkins, and an MF 35 of the old four cylinder type that was dreadful for hard starting in the cold. All of these had CAV diesel pumps and injectors, which were definitely only serviceable by experts in the diesel service shop! Best wishes from George

Growing up in the 50's and 60's in Newfoundland my grand father had a 5 HO Acadia engine in his boat. They were made in Nova Scotia and we called them put puts. The most beautiful sound is a put putt boat echoing off the cliffs of Bell Island in the morning, fog just makes it all the better. 32 foot open boat, 5 HP would do the same speed empty or with 3000 lbs of squid. Made no difference.

As usual very interesting. And the origin of the engine makes me proud and warm in my heart. As I mentioned earlier, my mother came from Vimmerby. First Appelkulla and then Stenkulla. And no matter how simple the construction is, there are some clever solutions. (water injection) And admittedly I am so old that one or two cars he I lubricate during my short time in the lubrication pit. But the lubrication you did gave it a "face". And of course I lubricate my DB Selctamatic in between. Luckily I got some training as a child on a farm during the summer holidays. Thank you for taking care of these old fine gems. AND in a good and interesting way describes functions and what they used these machines for. Many thanks for that!
