- Big Macca no.169M first ever start since ive owned it . Running backwards because it can run either way . Sounds realy quiet mechanically but its not quiet . Made in Richmond in Melbourne Australia 1939. I’ve had it stripped right down except I left the crank and flywheel in place. Had a very rusty bore but it honed up OK. Miraculously I found new piston and little end bushes and a new gudgeon pin. Rings were perfect and I suspect the big end bearing was already newish.
Retired old Chief Engineer ex British Merchant Navy.... sweet sounds of power and torque from an engine that could be fueled on goose fat or cow fart gas from the top of the dung heap cover...fantastic, keep it running because one day that may be the only power source you have. Thanks for the demonstration!
thanks mate, your the sort of fella that should have a few engines
That engine is all business and no bling! About as good as it gets.
You don't need a tachometer for this engine, you use a calendar... Lol Thumbs Up!
Thats actually a good one. I’ll use that.
😂
Works better than my Duramax on my chevy haha
LOL. Good one 😆
That is sweet piece of history
We just witnessed about 500 TOTAL rpms throughout the whole video
Revolutions not rpms, but yeah that's crazy
@@reecewharf. Thanks mom
I know of at least 1 plank mill out here in Oregon that still runs one of these.
Dang near impossible to stall once you get the works going.
would love to see that mill in action
Chuff chuff chuff chuff, just like a ticking clock, very therapeutic
The size of the reed valves are crazy, be cool as heck to see custom carbon fiber vales made. This beast is awesome!
fmf exhaust would make it crack
@@jenkodiesel5768 it really is an impressive piece they don't make them like they use to. I recently picked up a 1955 sheldon metal lathe, just replaced the bearings, made some bushings, replaced oil and grease and she's humming like a top again.
I was thinking the same thing. When I saw them in the video I was thinking- what the, are those the red valves? LOL
I cant explain it but this video clip is satisfying at all levels. If I increase my playback speed to 1.75 it sounds like my Harley.
Beautiful engine and wonderful to see it in action. Well done!
Great video. I remember old timers talking about how guys got killed in big flywheels on old engines. I knew an old gentleman when I was young who had an old crank come back and crush his head. He was disfigured and crippled up, but was just a good old guy to know.
They dont stop moving just because of a bit of flesh and bone gets caught in it .
God bless you and thank you for putting a smile on my face I've only seen one other of these and it was running I would love to have on these I think they are a beautiful piece of History and priceless and timeless the reason I say this is there's nothing that can stop one once it's running and it has a continual fuel feed until you cut it off it will stay running I thought he was going to get sucked into that wheel for a second thanks for a great memory I remember starting a tractor this way
cheers ol’ mate.
@@jenkodiesel5768 I live up here looking down upon God's world Glacier National Park Montana I know a few places there's a few of these but they're much smaller they're more like the little Moe's and a few others that's a nice motor you have thank you for sharing that was an awesome video and made my heart smile I flash back to a much younger year even though I'm only 50 I was there standing beside Grandpa once again wow thank you
Probably has enough torque to twist a tree stump in half
That could cross the ocean and never stop. It would just get there.
The ship couldn't carry enough food for the crew 😁
great piece of engineering and history at the same time, I wish more people would preserve these old engines
Prototype of the new Harley Davidson Sportster engine .
If only Harley's tractor engine was as reliable
That was not made in China. They don't make them like that anymore, solid as a rock!
mate, what the fuck does that actually mean.
@@jenkodiesel5768 pretend-is talking about a politician from Georgia. See how sinister and low IQ these people are, see how Democrats are unhinged with sick sick minds....It's always with children from pizza to selling them.
Pretty sure India and China make similar very simple engines for rural regions even today. Probably bought the mold patterns for them from the western manufacturers 😂
The English set up there. Companies like Ruston Hornsby had whole assembly plants there and taught the Indian workers how to build large industrial machinery and your right, they still make large single cylinder engines.
@@AmericanPatriot1778
We've learned anyone calling themselves a patriot is the biggest threat to democracy. The Great Purge is coming and your kind will be made to pay
Love that engine .
It is music to the ears to hear that running.
Keep it safe for mankind.
I will keep it safe , don’t worry about that.
but shes a good dog. a gem. thanks for the show.
This is great!! no FICMs, no computers, no ICP, none of that modern crap!
You must have been a 6.0 owner at some point.
@@koreygregory527 lol ..I still own it
@@MachTuck I bought mine after it was already studded and deleted and put a Atlas 40 tune one the ficm and have drove it almost 100,000 miles with zero issues. It’s my daily driver.
@@koreygregory527 Same here my friend, studded and deleted, then I started to learn about the issues from factory on those 6.0. I had a problem not long ago, the tech said I needed a new in rail fuel pump, I replaced it for a new one, still missing, then I was lucky to notice the connector was getting hot, replaced it, and runs like a champ now.
Badazz 2 stroke diesel, I bet that flywheel weighs over a ton. That dog sure hates it! Thanks for sharing.🛠⚙️
right on a ton, the dog will get over it.
What a gorgeous sound!
What a lovely old machine, thanks for sharing
No worries David.
now thats an impressive piece of machinery
Oooh Wow!!!! A awesome tuck tucker!!! Bravo👍👍😎
Sounds like my old panhead with one blown head gasket 😁
I love it! I love all engines, and nearly every one "talks". At points, I heard this one saying "Cha- cha- cha-cha"!
this is one of the most beautiful I've seen
Cheers mate.
Love that sound reminds me of the old oil well motors they used long time ago in west Texas and Oklahoma on a quiet nite could hear them some of them way off to besides the ones that was close by I was a young boy back then still love to hear them running
Such a simple setup, it’s enjoyable just to listen to it run. Probably run a generator for 20 home for just basic power. Cooking, keeping food and maybe heat and a few lights.
and it will run on the used cooking oil
I think at the right volume this sound could put me to sleep kinda like rain lol amazing👍
Piece of history right there
Beautiful... Well done, thanks.
Wow for some reason I really like this engine. Looks like the piston might be 8". SWEET!!!! I suppose it could run a generator head. Need to fabricate a pto shaft and I bet the governor is not up to leveling 60 cycles ac but a 40 kilowatt head should be no problem just hard to start quick. Would need to set up an electric heater as soon as the power went out so could get going in 1/2 an hr or with gasoline in 10 minutes if pressed. Didn't notice cooling but would be needed for sure. You could use the hot water for different things.
11.5” bore 12” stroke. Might go alright on a generator because it is two stroke and has a 1 ton flywheel.
Harley? Who’s that? Sad to think they are almost out of business
now thats a mans engine.
My definition of true Art
There's a ton of these still in action on some of the old oil pads here in Texas. on private wells, running the pump jacks. Quite a spectacle, I love them
its amazing how long some of these old engines are in service.
that's what torque looks like
The best engine for R/C planes ;-)
Full scale Hercules.
Definitely tether planes !
When all other engines have stopped, this one goes.
seems to run ok, you'd be happy with that for sure.
25ruston Ken Oath mate. It was a bit doughy because I found wasp nest mud in the injector after this run
@@jenkodiesel5768 that will sound great on a big robison pump pumping out of the lake for sure
Yeah , except I’ll have to get a working clutch and fix the wobbly pulley.
Beautiful sound n machine
yes, and you can hear it for miles away.
FANTASTIC !!! Congratulations ! :-)
Thank you! Cheers!
Bloody ripper of an engine. Slowly working my way up to that size.
Beautiful beast!
Just looking at the background, looks like New Zealand. Great to hear this stuff running.
Aussie mate
@@jenkodiesel5768 Ha me too, from NZ originally and the shot of your shed with the gear was a common sight. Regards Steve.
This is incredibly cool 👍
Cheers
Que coisa linda eu sou apaixonado por esse tipo de motor antigo maravilhoso parabéns
I would have that thing running all the time just to drive the neighbors crazy!
You troll 😂😂
i mean, you could just have it run a dyno lol. To make some power
What a beauty
I just loved the sound of it...
sounds even better when its going to rain, my brother can hear it 6 miles away.
Now I know how they make the earth quakes!
Hell yea brother i wont 1 bad !! Thats so bad ass !!!
What a beast!
Sounds great!!
Thanks mate. It sounds alot better in later videos after a few bugs were fixed.
That thing is sweet!!!
Nice sound
thanks , looks cold at your place
Ein sehr schöner Motor :-)
Thats exactly what I was thinking.
I love this stuff...
The sound of a bunch of dwarves shoveling coal dust into the cylinder.
Still be running 2139 ... epic ;)
Excellent!
This is one neat simple workhorse. Love the air inlet shutters. Redline 200?
I'll add that the small list of two strokes I like to hear, among with the Celtic and the Foden Pike.
It is beautiful to listen to and you can feel the beats in your chest
Love this engine
its a ripper
Are you in Australia?
yep
Yeah I need one of those!
every man needs one
@@jenkodiesel5768 I could use it to run a ceiling fan. lol
Love it👊🎶🎵
Nice thump 😍😍
I know. I just start it up all the time and sit next to it.
That’s so bad ass
Very cool , new sub here
I like the wobbly assed pulley. You should mount an old 1 barrel carburetor on top the water jacket hole and really confuse everyone.
OK, saw the rebuild pics video. I like the shower head. Gives me a great idea on how to take a hot shower when SHTF. Rebuild video for those too lazy to find it:

thanks kimmer6
Awesome! !
Mad Max prepares this engine for postapocaliptic world.
Very cool.
So that's a preheat for the cylinder head to get the vapor running.
Your neighbors must be like... There goes Jim again turning over that Macdonald. Better close the windows dear. Lol
Yeah Tommy, you pre heat a bowl where the fuel sprays. Your right about the neighbours and the McDonald, along with the shooting , dirt bikes, boats and V8s. But we all get along real well.
First off really cool. Love the old stuff , been burning up youtube watching old fairbanks morse engines. Could you tell me what the thing is that rotates lil by lil there? Just wondered. Thanks
its a mechanical oiler. forces oil onto piston and gudgeon pin, and big end bearing.
Wonder if it will fit in a bike frame?
lol great ending
I wonder how many homes that could power used as a generator drive?
I love it.
Maybe 5 to 10, 50 hp gives some 25kW electric power.
@@juhajuntunen7866 .... I gotta believe the torque could turn more resistance than 25kw. I don't know. Would be neat to find out.
I believe this motor was used in the bulldog English tractor, I seen a video of it running at 0 RPM.
similar engine type only much bigger
Diesel engines fire the fuel and air mixture with high compression, something this engine does not have. Notice the burner at the front of the engine, it is heating an area of the engine probably called a hot bulb. There are other styles so I’m not sure which one is on this engine. This is an oil engine, oil is injected into the hot bulb and vaporized, simultaneously the piston comes up on compression and you have a firing stroke. Close to a diesel but not quite. While the engine is running it keeps the hot bulb hot enough to vaporize the oil being injected into the hot bulb.
It's a glow engine, much like many modern diesels with glow plugs. It is still heat from compression, assisted by the hot surface that ignites the fuel.
Diesel engines come in two varieties in ignition, and two and four stroke models.
High compression with a loud diesel knock, and often have pollution issues with nitrites of oxygen, and
Lower compression hot surface ignition engines, which are quieter, often lighter due to less strain on the bearings, rods, etc, and lower oxides of nitrogen emissions.
dunno about lighter. The flywheel is 1 ton
@isettech
I’m assuming that you know the glow plugs in a diesel engine simply heat the air in the intake manifold and don’t operate while the engine is running. As I’m sure you know compression is what causes the mixture in a diesel engine to fire when the fuel is injected under high pressure. Giving the diesel engine a head start in cold weather by heating the air in the intake manifold then when the air is compressed and fuel is injected the very cold engine has a better chance of starting because the air has already been warmed up considerably. I’m presuming that you already know this but for others who read these comments they may not understand.
In some Third World countries engines similar to the one you see here started in cold weather by putting a rag that has been set a fire with kerosene or diesel fuel on it right by the air intake there by heating any air is it a drawn over the flame. The burning rags extinguished once the engine starts, I guess you could call that the early glow plugs.
@@yt650 Short and sweet, I'm not talking about a pre-heater. I'm talking about the in cylinder glow plugs. Yes after the engine starts, and the power to the plugs is turned off, they continue to glow from the compression. Citation provided.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glowplug
TLDR from the link.
A glowplug (alternatively spelled as glow plug or glow-plug) is a heating device used to aid in starting diesel engines. In cold weather, high-speed diesel engines can be difficult to start because the mass of the cylinder block and cylinder head absorb the heat of compression, preventing ignition. Pre-chambered engines use small glowplugs inside the pre-chambers. Direct-injected engines have these glowplugs in the combustion chamber.
@isettech
Yes I understand and depending on your age and what you have been through over the decades with construction equipment, you may come to understand or ask yourself how does any of this affect this particular engine. I have had or have internal combustion engines not toys mind you that have no intake rocker arm nor cam lobe and work on atmospheric pressure. Any intrusion into the combustion chamber even pieces of carbon can glow after the firing stroke and I wouldn’t be surprised that anything in the combustion chamber continues to glow. The definition from 100 years ago or longer describing a diesel engine differ considerably to the description of a diesel engine today. Credit Rudolph Diesel.
I work in a scrap metal yard one of these came in I am surprised by what people throw away
An old bloke I once talked to told me he was working in a scrap yard in the 1950's and a few times farmers actually drove steam traction engines to the yard for scrap and he busted them up while still hot. He said he knew it wasn't right but was just a kid and couldn't buy any of them.
Nice one!. Nuff said!. 🙂
Bloody good isn’t it.
Bloody oath it is!.
I have one that looks about the same. Did they build a similar style in 25 hp? Mines about a 6 litre single.
They built the YD, 25 hp hot bowl.
Does that 2 stroke have a reed valve on the intake?
Yes, at 2.17
@@jenkodiesel5768 Thanks.
Nice engine 👍 😃! What is the box on the top with the driven lever for? Lubrication?
Greetings from Heidelberg / Germany!
Yes mate, it is a force feed Lubricator, made by one of your mob ( Manzel) . Thanks Markus
nice to see jacket water there, chuck some cutting lathe fluid in there, last another 500 years
nah, I’ve tried that on other engines but when you get a few 45 degrees C days and the water evaporates, it tends to go a bit putrid after a while
@@jenkodiesel5768 well cast pumps last forever too, There are corrosion inhibitors around stuff used in truck engines. have fun
It still smells like new, I think.
Bad ass!
This thing is just brilliant! Looks like flywheels weighs 500kg.
Good to see its stiil running good.
Greetings from Russia (Ukraine).. ❤️
1000 kg flywheel . Cheers mate.
@@jenkodiesel5768 👍
I just had a look at the engine and what it was used for . I couldn't find what that was but guess that it powered pumps . Apparently it is a 5 Horse power engine , but I'm not sure of the spec and was used in Australia .
50 hp two stroke, It powered an entire sawmill.
@@jenkodiesel5768 That is impressive ! Thank you .
Nice
Har den inte någon kylare?
that's awesome I like watching the smoking diesels just saying
Yeah , me too. Got a better exhaust in later videos and it blows awesome smoke rings.
Tell that to Greta Thunderbox 🤠😂🇬🇧
@@jimlepeu577 She was here the other day ! She walked past the air inlet and hasn’t been seen since.
@@jenkodiesel5768 🤠😂🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Ideal for airplanes
I love how it sounds like a Lanz Bulldog
PS: I know it is the same type of engine
McDonald made a two stroke tractor as well using this engine’s smaller brother.
What is that small moving gear on top of the engine do? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an engine with one of those before.
its a mechanical oiler, forces oil to the piston and big end bearing
Движку поди уже 3 - ий век пошел.а заводится лучше чем "веста" с новая с завода.
What is that port on the top of the cylinder with the two studs?
Its the cooling water outlet position. Have a look at the later videos and you will see what i put there.
@@jenkodiesel5768 Nice, I was guessing it was something like that but I wasn't sure.
It is a beauty. I would believe ridiculous claims for torque, but I don't see how it could develop fifty actual horsepower while being throttled to death by those reed valves. If it is rated for fifty, I would begin to suspect that the whole "peak horsepower" scam is a lot older than we knew.
its every bit of 50 hp and as the torque goes, try stopping it with your shoe. seriously though in those days they actually brake tested each engine as it came off the line
