Big 1-cylinder 40 hp hot bulb stationary engine running at low rpm

Old 1940 stationary crude oil engine. One big cylinder delivering 40 horsepower. Running at 260 rpm in the video, originally 320.
Made by Beijers Motorfabrik in Vimmerby, Sweden. We believe this was the biggest engine available on a trolley.
Weighs 3 tons. The injection pump is made by BOSCH (ROBO).

Fantastic old machine. A great piece of functional history kept alive by good design and good care. Thanks for posting.

Definitely still got the rhythm in it!

Absolutely brilliant, just watching it run, and thinking of how much work it did when it was delivered to the farm or factory. And it looks to be in brilliant shape now. Thanks for sharing, Cheers!
