Do you like these FAIRBANKS MORSE ENGINES ?

We were still using these in the East Texas oil field 20 years ago. They ran on casinghead gas from the well and would run 24/7 for days and days on end. They’re a bit problematic when the temperature drops below freezing as the casinghead gas is very wet and the regulators would freeze up. Getting one started under those conditions was a real test of your manhood and vocabulary!

This is a big part of history, the amount of work these machines accomplished!

[barrybegley]

There is something hypnotizing about being in the presence of these antique engines. They are a beautiful part of history and the ingenious and creative aspect of the Human mindset. Thank You for providing these clips. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

I love seeing these old engines working!!

[davidmiller]

Some day in the not so distant future we will need these again

[jamesbrown]

It amazes me for how old these engines are that they still work just as good as they did a long time ago. Keeping up the maintenance on them is why these engines are still working today.

200 years old and still the best type of engine for self support.

Der Klang der Fairbanks Diesel ist einfach grandios, auch dieses Röcheln und Stamfen
Einfach gut

Today's new generation engine doesn't even run for more than 5 years 😂

Cool engines, I have a 1927 Anderson 3 1/2 HP stationary engine and just love it! It runs like a sewing machine and will start on one or two rotations every time!

[HFarms]

Wish I could go back in time!! These old beasts are AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing! Great video!

I sometimes wonder if we've really made progress when watching these incredible machines run and the genius minds that designed them.

Those are really fun. I had a 2 lung, John Deere Model H spin-start that I used to uproot sage brush, clearing my land. It had a cam actuated, double moldboard plow that really did a good job (Pull the rope and let go - the plow buried itself in the ground. Pull again and let go, it smoothly came back up into prone position.

The Model H only had 17 HP but if the plow was down and soil became too heavy, the 38” wheels just kept turning, digging into the ground, with the engine barely lugging down.

Every once in a while a lifter rod slipped off the rocker assembly – I would stop, pull the rocker head off, reset the rod, put the head back on and be up and running in under 4 minutes.

Now, if I wanted to reverse my forward direction 180 degrees, I just fully applied either the right or left brake, quickly turn the double "V" steering tires full, one direction or another, and it literally pivoted the 180 without the braked wheel moving in any direction (but of course, you couldn't do that with an implement attached).

At the annual show in Kingsburg CA someone had an 8 stroke motor (it fired on every 8th rotation). It was comical to watch the fly wheel loudly bang and hesitate and bang again.

Раньше, до появления электрификации, такие машины крутили трансмиссии в цехах фабрик и заводов передавая крутящий момент на станки

[dankennedy]

The historical comments are money. Excellent way launch into history. Bravo.

[Buddha-offk]

I used to hear those engines a lot around Pithole PA running the pump houses. My best friend's Dad ran them and we would help by checking the wells. The good old days.

[Feinstaubgenerator]

I think in the future we will need these again ;-)

[abpob]

People underestimate the impact the invention of the flywheel has had on society.

[tonyadams]

I love that you can see all the moving parts. Those old engines are amazing. Even more than my old B model John Deere.
