Watching this old equipment run is hypnotic to me. The flywheels spinning, the piston rod and exposed crank punching away in thin air. The sound is better than any recorded music I ever heard. Excellent job restoring this beautiful piece of history.
This is such a wonderful old machine, and the best part is that it's big enough and strong enough that you could use it for small farm jobs. Nothing better than ancient equipment that still works a bit for a living. :)
Thanks for the video! Good idea with the ear protection. As a kid in the 40's I remember some of the "hit and miss" tractors and such and we kids loved them. Best of luck!
And that was state of the art when my grandad were young men. But they also used their draft horses as well for many years after this. Makes me feel a bit old and nostalgic. Great video. Cool tractor. Thanks.
It's a beautiful green monster! Fairbanks MORnStEr, beautifully restored! congrats! The piston layout, the steering chains, and the reverse gearing reminds a lot the previous steam rollers and tractors... this is probably the closest missing link between steam and petrol era! Nice, really ! Thanks !
Hmm.dont know how far we came,more comfort and computer of course,so farmers are excluded from repairing their own equip.Just want to remind you that the Case 150 pulls 36 bottom plough with its steam engine.Dont think a modern 150 hp tractor can do that!

That has to be one of the most well-balanced of these huge 1-cylinder engines I've ever seen. Most other machines of this kind rock back and forth at least a little, this one doesn't move at all.
It's amazing what they had to assemble to get 25 HP back then and this was probably considered a fairly advanced powerplant. A modern motor of this size and weight could probably produce over 1000HP quietly and with minimal emissions. The first steps were huge but what a testament to engineering advancement!
mike s not really, I'm sure the ft pounds in torque are a lot higher than 25, but not that high, that's why it needs huge flywheels and extremely low gearing.
@@mikesrestoration its torque on crankshaft is probably also low, but what makes it so powerful is its extremely small gearing ratio, same is valid for today's tractors
We threshed wheat with one of these when I was 12 years old in Shelbyville Kentucky on the Zaring Farm. My step dad owned it. I think it's in Arizona now days...
Now let's see a cold start! Seriously though, beautiful machine, hums along like it's fresh from factory. Bet it looks snazzier now with a thick layer of green epoxy than it did rolling out of the factory too.
Farm life must've been rough on an engine like that. All the dust that got kicked up while working the fields had to've wreaked havoc on an open crank design

I love just waiting engines run.

WHAT A FANTASTIC LOOKING MACHINE, AND IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE BEFORE. WELL DONE.
The craftsmanship that went into creating this machine and running it is a beautiful peice of history
A labor of love.
You can see.
And hear it.
(Listen to how smooth that engine runs.)
My grandfather would put the same care into whatever he worked on.
Holy crap, now that is a gorgeous piece of machinery. Wow. Thanks for showing it!
Wow! Those wheels are as BEAUTIFUL as dangerous, what a piece of engineering. I could stare at that engine listening to its music all day long.
Congratulations to the owner of that machine--restoration is beautiful so as an elderly retired farmer heartfelt thanks for putting this on youtube.
Just amazed how these motors run how big and beautiful they are blows me away
This tractor was used on a farm in southern Texas for growing crops.
Beautiful piece of machinery. But to be fair, the crops grew themselves. The tractor helped prepare the soil, plant the seeds, harvest, haul, etc. 🙂
Such a beautiful machine. It was a joy to watch it in action. Thank you!
Cool. You spun a wheel and off she goes. I remember the old Ajax engines on a few oil pump jacks. Some wernt as tempramental as others. Great Video
And that was state of the art when my grandad were young men. But they also used their draft horses as well for many years after this. Makes me feel a bit old and nostalgic.
Great video. Cool tractor. Thanks.
I've seen a lot of old tractors here on TH-cam but this one is my favorite!
engine sounds like a sample ready to be mixed into some kind of techno tune. amazing.
It's a beautiful green monster! Fairbanks MORnStEr, beautifully restored! congrats!

Id say the benz motorwagen is the closest link, but this is, if you look at industrial machinery
The...mort....traktor..stream..verygood

That is one piece of, awesome, antiquity. I am impressed. I truly am.
Simply fantastic! Even more because of it's green colour. Extremely well done, Sir. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thumbs Up and Happy New Years !
That's incredible. Look how far we've come in just over 100 years...amazing.
Hmm.dont know how far we came,more comfort and computer of course,so farmers are excluded from repairing their own equip.Just want to remind you that the Case 150 pulls 36 bottom plough with its steam engine.Dont think a modern 150 hp tractor can do that!
An incredible transition between a steam traction engine and the modern tractor
These you don't see every day I love the sound of it shutting down
I will use this video to remind people what the old days were like. 😁😁😁
Enough of the good old days!
It was brand new the year my daddy was born! Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful, great part of heritage... absolutely wonderful.
I love this thing. I would drive it to the grocery store just because I could.
Beautiful restoration, sir. Bravo.
backing up great, even no back up camera. engine sounds great. thanks for your work. 1913 year, I had been on another star, ha ha. thanks again.

What a beautiful beast... Immaculate.
what a beautiful piece of machinery
NOW THATS A ENGINE WE NEED MORE OF THIS, Old One Legged Joseph T.
That's a very clean restore,I bet it didn't look that good new,nice job to who ever restored this 👍👍
What a beautiful sound! A beast breathing!
Just imagine the time when this sound was heard on farms all across America. Damn, I wish I was born 100 years earlier.
Element of Kindness: Oh boy, you would've reversed your wish rather quickly after having been there !
Old boy is running good!

the flywheels are very very heavy,these sure ar balanced for the non vibration of all the engine.
trattori porsche
Co słycha
Ppl
opravdu nádhernej a krásnej stroj a ten zvuk je vysoce luxusní
seems like a dangerous way to start an old Fairbanks. I love the video looks awesome when it's running
Magnificent tractor. Thank you for keeping it going.
Now that modern technology. There is no way a tractor built today that could even come close to running so long. Beautiful old mechanics of yesteryear
Beautiful old tractor built to last.
Wow, a lot of energy stored in those flywheels.
Can't watch enough of this machines.
High technology.
Beautiful machine and running perfect.
I watch this video about every month. Fascinating

This is not the same power as a 25 horse power briggs and stratton. this has toque values probably 10 times what your car has.
mike s not really, I'm sure the ft pounds in torque are a lot higher than 25, but not that high, that's why it needs huge flywheels and extremely low gearing.
25HP are 25HP no matter the torque.
power is = to torque x rotation speed so it does
@@mikesrestoration its torque on crankshaft is probably also low, but what makes it so powerful is its extremely small gearing ratio, same is valid for today's tractors
25hp single cylinder but I bet the torque if off the charts
Very, very good. It works very good. Also the look is like a dream.
Nice to watch the piston from the lower end during operation.
What a huge tractor. Thanks for uploading this video.
What a master piece.
All kinds of cool stuff to get tangled up in!
Each puff brings out the respect
Awesome restoration.
This is a 4 stroke throttle governed engine not a hit n miss. The governor controls the butterfly in the carb.
UThe and Wendell Kelch you uused
Erwin Rogers
yeah you can hear the stroek is every two cycle , very unusual for an old diesel engine
plop386 it's a gas not a diesel engine
@@plop386 Well no, it’s a four stroke diesel engine, there’s nothing unusual about that. They’ve been around since the beginning
Super tractor of old times. Good video.
What a grand ol' tractor! Great restoration!
nightlig3htabcd
Doesn't get any better than this!!!!!👍👍👍
WOW that is so beautiful !!!, I love it !!!, great job on restoration and operation ! ! ! 😎👋👋👋👀👀👀
Your machine looks good, a lot of hard work to get her looking like that.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful works of Art
I don't think I've seen anyone recently as excited as you clearly were to fire that old girl up.
We threshed wheat with one of these when I was 12 years old in Shelbyville Kentucky on the Zaring Farm. My step dad owned it. I think it's in Arizona now days...
Is this house industrial music started? 😁 Such a cool piece of history
antique power did an article about this tractor.neat to watch it run
I can Just imagine waking up in a dream and hear the old girl starting to chug again after leaving her for the night
Imagine when that was state of the art, awesome machine!
Mister Kelch! You dit a nice very nice job with your Fairbanks tractor its better than new! greatings from Heerlen south of the Netherlands
That beauty makes an awesome beat.
Very cool old piece. Bonus points if you have the belt drive run your workshop.
Nice! Would love to have that in my barn 👍
The good old days when things were built to last!
Wonderful restoration!!
Now let's see a cold start! Seriously though, beautiful machine, hums along like it's fresh from factory. Bet it looks snazzier now with a thick layer of green epoxy than it did rolling out of the factory too.
Beautiful tractor. Nice job
Man. That thing is really cool
love the sound . . . rumbling . . . spitting . . .
It's so beautiful. I would marry a machine like that.
That was beautiful to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice job, sounds perfect
thats music for me !
I live in the town where Fairbanks was first started I drive by Fairbanks scales every day.
Good job Wendell
That is awesome!! I love it
Very awesome really nice t tractor
what a beast! classy machine
That thing is cool as a big dog😊
Sweet old tractor.
Old is gold
Can't imagine the pulling power of that.
And only a few h.p.....
Lots of torque out of that 25 hp to move all that cast iron and steel!
Beautiful 👍
The sound of this thing running could almost be made into a pretty good remix.
She was in south Texas in a Sugar Plantation.
Wow that was really cool
Still one of my favorites.
What a beast. Sounds like the piston ist the size of a water bucket.
