Steam powers my fave... Tomorrow I'm setting the mechanical trip plunger on a 1938 Worthington 1600HP steam turbine that we use to power 2- 16000 GPM pumps for our service water at our petro-chemical plant. Love the sights and smells of the older steam traction engines and never get enough of the ones You've shared here... Thanx!
If you ever get the chance go to the antigue tractor show in Elnora, Indiana. It has a lot of the same things & more. I haven't been to it for a few years but it was always my favorite one.
That old Farmall brought back some memories of Christmas parades in days long gone by (pulling floats. Probably the Allis-Chalmers, as well. What was being done with the hay at 4:27 - 5:45?
Looks like a simple Thresher! It Threshed spitting out hey at one end and grain at the other. This and many other operations are taken up by the modern Combine Harvester!
@@fancybrooks3156 You got it! TBH they would often leave the straw out for a few days turning it occasionally. This allowed yeasts to grow causing the straw to get sweet and be better feed!
Cool stuff. My father probably had over 200 of those One-lunger/Hit & Miss engines at one point when I was a kid, ranging from 1.5hp to 12hp which was gigantic. He still has a 7hp Alamo on it's own trailer and weighs maybe 3000lbs ! We used to run a saw mill, and a very large apple grinder and press for making apple cider with those engines. They are beyond HEAVY !! Thumbs up !

@@totherarf Thank you. But won't all that hay now just need to be baled again? Is that why that old equipment was made obsolete by the combine?

@@totherarf TY again! I was just curious. Always want to know what I didn't know before. We never stop learning.
It's a bad day when you learn nothing ;0)
Love the steam show! thanks! enjoy every video you make thanks again!
There is something elemental about the power of a steam engine! Same with the Hit and Miss Engines!
