Watching this video saved me a lot of money that I don't have and still enjoyed them. Thank you

Today we've become a throw away society. It amazes me that these engines, over 100 plus years ago still run today. Thank you Classic Tractor Fever and Aumun Auction for showing us some history.

When I was in my teens, the number of engines that were just junked or buried was in the thousands. I was told of a super rare engine was buried. My memory went south when I had my surgery. Now I just keep wishing I would have written down the place the gem is resting now. The prices are just crazy. I cannot believe how popular the hobby has become. Nice work Classic Tractor Fever Tv.

Dad always loved these, we had so much fun seeing them at shows.

Can you imagine having an engine in the late 1800’s…all of these are wonderful. I bet we are not the first nor the last that has and will watch them run in amazement!

[ICOWBOYIM]

They certainly don't make them like that any more. A tinkerers dream from simpler times that we all long for 🔧🔩⚙

[scotteakins]

Engineered to run & run & run forever. As long as you did their maintenance.
Those were the days!

Otto, Duetz and Lenoir always get all of the credit but it was Franz Burger who invented the first Gasoline engine in the USA.

come to irvine ky drivw down hwy 52 through town there is 10 of the hit and miss engines on side of the road

[MikeBrown-iipt]

At least one of them also has roller tappets. Many people still think that they're a modern invention.

imagine the grief those early englishmen had trying to get that huge 2 hp engine to actually run at 3 or 4 ton engine making barely enough power to turn itself over, with probably 300 different things that, with the tiniest adjustment in length or weight or timing, could make all the difference between running or not something as basic as reliably and repeatedly igniting the fuel charge must have been a huge huge problem to overcome in the time before spark plugs and any basic knowledge of such workmanship! ....the victorian era british were famous for their world-beating high quality workmanship....the whole engine resembles a steinway grand piano in conception and execution

The Springfield also has fuel injection.

[Tshizzleo]

I live near warren, oh. Id love to know the name of the guy that restored it. My dad has an old atlas hit and miss that runs but is definitely sue to be freshened up

[Skoda]

How did the Crossley engine suck in a flame to ignite gas under compression?

[donlowe]

I have a parts engine that still has the Otto name plate. I think its a ten horse.

[roadrunner]

Punching holes in the world ruled by steam. Wonderful

[davidstewart]

5:25 "This Lenoir operated a lemon factory ..." A lemon factory? WTF's that?

[michaelbaumgardner]

Those were rare engines, and one of one.

[philhall]

My 1914 teaton is the most dependable engine that u have!!!! Simple but dependable!!!! That was before we started throwing everything away.

I'll stick with the Free Section on Craigslist.
