- This is a 1905 Reid 15 hp engine that my Dad just rebuilt/restored. The cart it sits on, He built himself from pictures. The rear wheels are made from 30" pipe, and the fronts are 16". The frame is some left over I beam and the steering is his own design.
The fuel is propane with a needle valve to regulate flow. The ignition is some old military coil with a sparkplug screwed into an adapter in the head that he made and a micro switch mounted on the base with a trigger mounted to a disc bolted to the crank. The flyball gov. isn't connected yet, but it will be soon to help control rpm.
Two many chiefs not enough Indians 🤔
Sweet engine. I could listen to that all day.
Top or max rpm is "supposed" to be about 150rpm. It was basically flying du to the fact we had it running on propane and it had no governor to regulate the speed.
Nice!
Congratulations for that that amazing work! That machine is amazing.
Your father is obviously an "old-schooled" man including the best knowledge and mechanical capabilities. Keep it up!
Thanks for the upload and with the best wishes and greetings from Germany.

Just wondering how the engine is cooled? I would think it would overheat with no fins on the cylinder. Pretty cool old engine.
Nice Job have you gotten the governor hooked up and working
Wish I could find an older guy with a machine like this!
Damn son, this baby is gorgeous!
I'd love to share this with my grandpas :)
It is actually a 2 stroke engine. It fires every time the piston comes up. It may sound like a hit -miss because we were still kinda workin the "bugs" out!
I am glad you enjoy these beasts! To answer your question, Yes, the "carb" is a needle valve on the propane and there is a 2" ball valve on the air intake. If the air valve is opened up even close to full, the speed of the engine goes WAY to fast! It also uses alot more propane.
The next step is to get the flyball govenor hooked up and working to control the speed. It seemed to run in the vid at about 340 rpm, which is still a little fast. But it is my Dad's first stationary engine!
Very nice video, GREAT job on the restoration. Always fun to see old engines brought back to life.
the old guy is right, you roll it forward as if it wher running, running direction to take in a charge, it wont work backwords so well because of the charging cyclinder wont push it in.. I had one, i know how to start it.
Thanks for sharing the whole process of starting this critter. I love to learn more about these old engines. First time I've run across a 2-stroke with a charging cylinder.
Dont you Argue with Dad! lol...

uhhhhhh........that kinda defeats the purpose of having a hit'n miss engine when its firing every revolution!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha
anywho other than that it runs great!!!!!
Sounds like my house when my wife makes beans for dinner..! Cool engine.
Father and son bonding? Lol
Fantastic! What a beautiful sound the old beast makes!
they used that double set up so they could run on very poor quality fuel , It sorta pre compressed the fuel charge making it denser , basically so it would have the same effects of high compression like a diesel , but yet not have the extreem effort to start that it would with very high compression , hard to explain , but they were mostly ran on cull oil (kerosene) but it was far different than it is today from what it once was ...
Definitely a father and son
now that's a proper mechanic, oily rag at the ready, thankyou
Une marque????... allemande, moderne 1950/1960, a fabriqué le même moteur en quatre temps... le piston annexe servant à la fois de compresseur et d'équilibreur......
I am not sure if it is running in the correct direction..........
I guess it could be backwards, there aren't any valves , so anything is possible!!!!!!!!!!!
It isn't a hit and miss engine. It is technically a 2 stroke because it does ( or is supposed to ) fire every time the main piston come up on the stroke.
The engine is water cooled. We had a hose going into the water jacket, and then just dumped it onto the ground. That is the pipe out the rear.
เปลี่ยนการเคลื่อนที่เชิงเส้นเป็นวงกลมมหัศจรรย์มาก
Great restoration on the 'ole girl , Kudos Sir ! .
make another hole in the head and start it with compress air you wil be stress relieved also find the way to change the ignition timing at will for the start up procedure,, great piece ,,congratss. both you guys.
What's the cylinder off to the side do compress air?
"The flyball gov. isn't connected yet, but it will be soon to help control rpm."
yeah thats a good idea, firing up an engine without the governer hooked up
@Polybun if you look at the video discription it says " The flyball gov. isn't connected yet, but it will be soon to help control rpm."
so i stand by too fast
Iove..u..Fc..2019..สวยงาม
do yourself a favor and fast forward to 7.00
Thx lol
dans ce système le compresseur doit avoir une cylindrée bien supérieure au cylindre moteur afin de fournir une quantité d'air (30/40%) supérieure et créer ainsi une suralimentation/balayage efficaces!!!...
When the engine runs and gets up to speed the hitting and vortex sound in between hits it sounds like industrial Rock music to me, like a nine inch nails song sort of..I downloaded it in my mp3 music playing list for that .. thanks for posting 😊
correct me if im wrong because i dont know a whole lot about these hit and miss engines, but isnt it running backwards from what it should be?
They think they came out with something new.
All things old are new again.
Look up the "The Scuderi Engine" it is the same exact cycle.
a nice sweet engine and a good video and thank you for your time
Sounds to me like you are arguing the same point. You are facing each other, so backwards to one is forward to the other.
i remember seeing these in Mississippi long time ago
Perfect wood smoke generator for a 10kw genset off your wood stove with flywheel tip driven slow rpm all day whole house generator with a flyball governor. Would power the house at 5 or ten degrees cold weather. You could laugh at the power company loosing power till you ran out of firewood.
run, she's gonna break apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holly hell slow that reid down till it almost stops on compression!! If the OFES seen this they would shit!
So... one cylinder is the piston and combustion chamber... The other cylinder is the valve system?
look guys, what will hapens if you hear this sound in publiqe toilet?
What an old darling......love these old engines,they've got a style and sound all of there own........
Respekt!
about 6:18 just as it stops sounds like a didgeridoo on the intake stroke!
My Grandad loves these, what do they even do? Stationary engines serve no purpose at all
oh indeed, but still the old guy seems to have forgotten after he taught youg guy :-P
I wonder what that side cylinder is for? The main crank is between bearings, and that additional is driven from the side-wheel. Must be a pump for cooling water?
It compresses intake air. An early 'supercharger'.
Good to hear&watch it from other old motor enthusiasts! Heat driven machines were in roots of human civiliation. Electricity gradually defeats them in many fields, yet those ingenious men with their exploding devices never be forgotten.
I WOULDNT GO NEAR THAT WHEN SHES GOIN GOD DANM'
@dafunk43 Youngster says"Dad you never had computers, video games or TV when you were a kid, did you?"
Old man says "No son, thats why we invented those things for you."
Loads of new technology would not have been possible if not for the ground work done by the older generation.
Biggerbadwolf This never gets said enough.
Thanks for sharing, it never really crossed my mind.
And yet we just throw these amazing machines away to rot and be forgotten.
I'd like to park this next to my neighbor's barking dog.... :-)
Hello Jesse Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard
I remember these on pump jacks set up to run off the gas from the oil well or tailings as they used to say made use of a lot of the gas that was flared off .
these 2 ole boys thought things too long and got themselves confused..
Better make sure you let go the flywheel before it fires
Most people run the old machines slow and easy. I prefer this.
Прекрасный звук, устойчивая работа
backwards, forwards, backwards, forwards.... for 4 minutes...
I do try! I have learned so much from him.
Oh you, pretty chitty bang bang, chitty chitty bang bang we love you.. lol.. that's what this made me think of.
how big of a bore stroke does that thing have?
I would guess it was designed as a 2 stroke because of the power benefit. The double piston is sort of the "valves" of the engine. The small cylinder sucks in both air and fuel and when the large cylinder is coming to the bottom of its stroke, the smaller piston then "pushes" the mixture of air and fuel into the larger one, both pushing out the exhaust gases and pushing in a new mixture to fire when the large cylinder comes up to the top of its stroke.
It is a strange design, but very simple!
Now I know where they got the sound effects for Willy Wonka's bubble mobiles.. nice engine.
Boy you sit here in anticipation then it slowly starts up... That was cool!
You guys need a set of those blue rubber gloves they will protect your hands and give you great grip when your cold cranking those flywheels. I use them at work all the time and cant do without them. Very cool collector engine! I would love to own that, break it down and fully restore it like new, engine like this can draw some big bucks from the collectors... Good old USA !!
OSHA probably loves u 2 for running this thing! I think she runs a little fast.... but that's just me;)
it's started like my friend's Witte Headless. spin the flywheels back a little, then throw them up against compression. trips the mag, and she fires right off!
It is to draw in air &gas,and then push the air gas mixture into the main cylinder which exhausts the burned charge and at the same time pushing in a new load. It is a type of 2 stroke engine. Firing every time the piston comes up.
It's called a charging cylinder. It pulls in the air -fuel mixture and then it pushes it into the main cylinder, which has an ignition source. Originally they had what was called a hot tube ignition. This 1 is retrofitted with a crude spark plug and coil.
skip to 6:45 and skip all the bickering
umm it sounds like a dying transformer
@RatherEggy Just think of all the places you see electric motors on a modern farm. Before everything was electrified you would likely use a stationary engine to do the work. One of my stationary engines ran a cement mixer and the other was a washing machine engine.
When they found oil in the area, natural gas was always present also. It originally would have run on that. Propane is just easier to supply and keep "Mobile".
I think there are some you toob videos on how to start these engines guys
OSHA wasn't around in those days! It's kinda funny when you look back at all the old machines and marvel at the lack of protection and gaurds.
I guess it was a way of getting rid of the bad gene pool!
whats the cylinder on the side for?
Awesome engine
There have been a few racing motorbikes built like this. The smaller piston is a scavenge or supercharging piston. A good examle was the chamberlain racing car built in Australia in the 1930's.
@dafunk43 I wonder... why set it up as a 2-stroke? Very interesting though, I've never seen an engine like this one firing on every stroke before. Also, what's with the weird double-piston cycle?
unce unce unce unce. >.> nice engine.
What is this thing for
does anyone know the torque rating. Looks like a very torquey engine
Seb M
No, but it seems like a single cylinder, externally charged by crank like a supercharger.
So if it's 15 hp at maybe idk 2 x 1000 lb flywheels (weight) something like idk 100 ft-lb makes sense.
Do a few calculations and try to figure it out by estimating the components involved.
Basically, I doubt 15 horses could stop it at full pace. But at 150 rpm maybe if they had a really long rope.
Why did I feel like everyone involved was no more than a breath away from getting killed?
That’s a real relationship
most two strokes were designed to run either direction. There are some exceptions to that but that always has to do with the mechanicals of the governor.
Very rare engine, the conception is very nice and inteligent. Two strokes, air supplyed by second cylinder... for the slow runing it is very just... Moteur deux temps à balayage par piston annexe, très rationnel et de fonctionnement tout à fait correct. Il n'a rien à envier avec les machines modernes... Excellent pour usage à poste fixe... Bravo

Worth the wait...
Great sound off it
Cool
Usually you can't see the pistons of the engine. Now you know every engine is a gross tarantula!
toooo fast slow her down
JAK TECHIAWKA HEHEH
Looks like a lost art.
its amazing the engineering the old timers came up with.. I bet someone was even more proud of that thing then you folks are now when they bought that engine to use.
Wow sounds like a beast. What's the other piston on the side for?
Who’s on first
@randommagnum
Yep, it's a charging cylinder. Since it is a uniflow engine it's dependent on a scavenge pump, which pushes air through the ports in the side of the cylinder, blowing out the exhaust gases and forcing a fresh air charge into the cylinder.
Very just Douro..... for a slow running it is a very nice system!!!........
In french... ''''moteur deux temps à balayage par piston annexe.......'''''''
