1939 Hot Bulb Oil Engine 25 horsepower

Testing running the crude oil engine backwards. It's quite easy to change rotation on them. Here we call them "transportable" engines, when mounted on to a trolley. The idea was to transport them between the farms, and to do various jobs, like crushing stones (stone crusher), threshing, saw logs among other things. These bigger engines were more common in saw mills.

Hello, this engine with its clear sound and ultra-precise rhythm is fantastic. Well done.
Bonjour, ce moteur à la sonorité claire et au rythme ultra-précis est formidable. Bravo.

Wow they really built things to last forever! Not like the garbage they make today!

True, and that's why we love them so much! 🙂

What exactly does it do. It doesn't seem big for that time, it looks more a relic. I must be missing something. 🤔😎 Ya, I should have read the description before commenting. 🤡
