I follow a bunch of channels on TH-cam, but there are about 3 or 4 that make me feel like a kid at Christmas when they publish a new video... and this is the best of all. Thanks for all the fascinating content!
Love your videos. Your knowledge and skill shows through and I like your attention to detail. My 94 year old father grew up in the countryside and has always been interested in machinery, especially internal combustion engines so he will love this channel too (he is French and Irish and a retired electrical engineer who still tinkers so this is right down his alley.) Thank you for the content.
@@YesterdaysMachinery yep I'd be making for the door in long exaggerated steps if that thing went off at 500+rpm behind me That's one hell of a lot of mass flying around 😱
I love these old machines and your knowledge of them is amazing! They were so simple in design and due to their simplicity made to last forever! Absolutely genius!
It's amazing how something so old can run so perfect. Just think, people think we computers to make stuff run like that now. Not to mention it, unlike modern engines, can run in both directions. It's good to have men like you that still knows how to make old stuff like that run.
I just started watching your videos. Very well done with a bit of humour.. taking a bath in the coolant water.. I have a few make and break engines.. that’s what we call them in Nova Scotia.. not hit and miss.. but I recently bought a hoag oil engine and I know nothing about it but I will learn from you.. thank you.. Andrew Mosher
Dear Sir , i really so happy to see your video's especially on vintage machines and about valuable information sharing with us. I really so impressive and thankful to you everything. God bless you always 🙏 🎉❤
Beast of an engine, loved it. There's a certain beauty to these old designs, fiddling non-stop with the controls like an organist with a Wurlitzer organ. Well done, Richard. It was worth subscribing. Cheers.
Two stroke semi diesels seem to have been more popular in small portable sizes there than in the states. We had lots of huge Fairbanks Morse engines back in the pre electric days running everything that was not steam.
Yes, a bit weird that you didn't have any of these. In the states it seems to be as you say, huuuge engines on like 150hp and up, and smaller hit n' miss ones on up to 10hp. Not many mid-range ones.
Great find Richard! Those old engines are amazing. I can see you have a lot of experience with them. I'd be interested in your truck too as older trucks are always interesting! Stay warm friend!
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
Such a beautiful running engine! I love going to the antique equipment shows and seeing the old stationary engines running. Most of what I've seen here in the center of the USA is gasoline or drip gas from oil wells, I can't recall seeing diesel engines. Every time I see one of your videos pop up, I have to watch it. Even the fuel pump rebuild you did a while back was great, keep up the amazing work! 🙂
It is amazing to watch a skilled individual such as yourself handling these machines! I used to attend engine shows with my father, and large 2-stroke diesels were started with compressed air. It is outstanding that you can manipulate the flywheel and start this one!
Greetings from sunny Florida 🌞 I love the old Scania truck, would definitely like to see a video on that! I’m glad you save all these old engines, they are history that not many people care about anymore. When I lived in Pennsylvania I used to go to the Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association, 33acres of all old equipment.
Hi there, good evening, 👍👍👍 this is marvellous!! It's like going back to the past!! Very well explained, thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching your video! Best regards, with season greetings from a small village in the middle of the Netherlands, for all of you stay healthy!!
Thank you for showing and explaining these great pieces of history. Love the truck at the end of the video. I hope you will do a video on it. All my very best.
Dear Richard, I really enjoyed this. I would love to have such an engine, and drive emergency electricity generator off it. Best wishes from George in Herefordshire, UK
Go search for "stationary engines for sale" -- apparently you can still buy stationary diesel engines in this power range. MUCH smaller than the 1939 model in this video (modern 4-stroke high compression injection-timed diesel, I think). Should run cleaner, too, I'd guess. Quite cheap, though most likely you'll pay as much to ship to you as to buy the engine.
Nice video, i think you should try with a better mic, you always have some nice information and it would be nice here you better and hear the different engines to.
Damn man, you know exactly what your doing don't you ? For a very old motor, you certainly have to prep everything before hitting it off. Very interesting video and your knowledge is becoming a thing of the past. Keep up the great work
You know, your collection of pump-pressurized blowtorches is almost as interesting as your collection of old engines and machinery. I think I still have a no-pump (heat pressurized) gasoline blowtorch I got at a second hand store almost forty years ago, but I haven't tried to fire it in decades.
Omg.....your channel is going to grow into a masterpiece!! Can I please come and play with these engines with you, I will work for very cheap!! Im not kidding lol..
Love that the autotext says music when the engine is running
Hahaha, yes better than most of todays music! /Richard

Hi and a huge thanks! Glad you like it. Greetings from Sweden!
Same here 😅
Love that you use vintage torches on a vintage machine. So happy I found your channel.
Hi! Thanks. Yes i like them old torches. Works very well. /Richard
definitely one of the best channels on utube...thank you
Thank you so much! Would not be anything without my followers! /Richard
You are a master sir I do not worry about your enunciation you remind me of an old friend who's a master Carpenter from Switzerland
Love your videos. Your knowledge and skill shows through and I like your attention to detail. My 94 year old father grew up in the countryside and has always been interested in machinery, especially internal combustion engines so he will love this channel too (he is French and Irish and a retired electrical engineer who still tinkers so this is right down his alley.)
Thank you for the content.
Very interesting video. You clearly enjoy this mechanical work and you are an excellent teacher. Looking forward to more. Stay well.
What he said! Really enjoyed your style of doing things! Be well.
Thank you all! /Richard
A runaway on a hit and miss engine would be a terrifying thing to see!
That old Scania is some sweet truck, would be cool to see a bit about it too
Yes, the big 35hp ones weighs 3500kg. And the engine lifts from the ground when comming up in high (like 500) rpm. Not fun att all.
@@YesterdaysMachinery yep I'd be making for the door in long exaggerated steps if that thing went off at 500+rpm behind me
That's one hell of a lot of mass flying around 😱
Great video. 82 years and still running.
Yes, it probably will 82 years from now also. /Richard
I like how you explain all of the devices and how they work. Thank you!
Thanks! Yes, i try to explain because it's always interesting if you dont know as a wiewer. /Richard
Very cool seeing these old engines running. A testimony to simple design and quality manufacturing. Thank you.
Glad TH-cam recommended this channel.
I love these old machines and your knowledge of them is amazing! They were so simple in design and due to their simplicity made to last forever! Absolutely genius!
I love learning and watching how these oldtimers run.
Hi and thanks! /Richard

Really like the new engine, and the scania truck. Greetings from California.
Hi there! Thanks 😊 /Richard
A very nice old engine, and a very well made video explaining the features of it. Looking forward to maybe seeing you putting the engine to work.
Thanks mate! /Richard
Very interesting and informative. Its nice to watch someone who really understands their machinery.
Thanks! /Richard
Just found you!! Working our way through your productions fantastic stuff. Keep it up.🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks mate! /Richard
what a lovely bit of old kit that’s made my day seeing that richard cheers great video x
Hi and thanks! /Richard
Love those old engines I could watch them all day only wish I could get one for my own
Hi, yes i really enjoy them too. I have a 35hp oil engie in my sawmill. It is a joy to work with that beast working hard. /Richard
Just amazing! Few people have ever heard a 2 stroke engine run like that!
Your knowledge is so comprehensive regarding these awesome machines, this was an awesome find.
Absolutely fascinating ! You are a very knowledgeable young feller, thanks for sharing and best regards from an "old geezer" in Ireland.
Hi and thanks! /Richard
Love the starting technique. Very nifty.
Another great video with an old engine, makes my Monday a happy day 👍
So interesting the old engine technology. Thank you.
Richard are you sick? You are a madman. Just kidding, this is AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work! From Florida
You have a brown leather vest on. You are my hero.

It's really interesting to me what you do don't ever stop!!!
Wow great video thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA
Hi! Nice to hear from Detroit. I have own quite a few cars from over there. A -56 Packard was my first car. /Richard
This engine seems to be running rather well, and this makes for a interesting video too.
Thanks for this.
Hi and thanks! /Richard

I do like your shelf bracket!
The piston holding the shelf is awesome! I'll have to do that 👍
Like the sound of Scania, brings some memories back. Mostly of busses. 🙂
Love the cover to the reed value, it is looking pretty solid.
Everything is solid cast iron. 1800kg total. /Richard
Awesome video. I always enjoy watching 👍👍
I know that pat at around 4mins .............you are in love already
Great find Richard! Those old engines are amazing. I can see you have a lot of experience with them. I'd be interested in your truck too as older trucks are always interesting! Stay warm friend!
Yes the old Scania will appear in a video soon! /Richard
That engine runs really well. Good work.
Super stuff as always. Lovely engine with grace and power.
Hi and thanks! /Richard
That is a really lovely engine, thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks mate! /Richard
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
Ye, it takes at least 3 times longer when filming than just working. /Richard
Hi Richard. As usual a fantastic video. Great machine, great fix, great channel

Very impressive start up 👍👍👌👌
Thank you! /R
Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Great stuff!
Great Work on it. Greetings from Germany
Hi and thanks! /Richard
I wish someone would start building these. Using modern bearings ignition & cooling system. In a 8 to 12 horsepower. I'd buy 1 in a heartbeat!

Absolutely fantastic 👏
uno de los mejores canales de youtube richard
from germany FANTASTISCH best regards
Danke! / Richard
Nice video, i think you should try with a better mic, you always have some nice information and it would be nice here you better and hear the different engines to.
Yes, i will invest in one. /Richard
I also have several old Volvo’s.. yeah!! Andrew Mosher
Damn man, you know exactly what your doing don't you ?
For a very old motor, you certainly have to prep everything before hitting it off. Very interesting video and your knowledge is becoming a thing of the past. Keep up the great work
Hi and thanks! /Richard
Amazing l just Sub'ed about two of your videos ago...Thanks🇺🇸
Another great video!
Amazing engine
Amazing old technology
How does one learn to operate and repair such equipment? It's like you're a time traveler from 100 yrs ago. Your videos are fascinating.
Just learning by doing. Quite basic this engines really, but a bit scary at first. Everything is heavy. /Richard
You know, your collection of pump-pressurized blowtorches is almost as interesting as your collection of old engines and machinery. I think I still have a no-pump (heat pressurized) gasoline blowtorch I got at a second hand store almost forty years ago, but I haven't tried to fire it in decades.
Omg.....your channel is going to grow into a masterpiece!!
Can I please come and play with these engines with you, I will work for very cheap!! Im not kidding lol..
نرجو منك توضيح كيف يخرج العادم وهل يوجد صمام للوقود و اخر للعادم مثل ما هو موجود في محر السيارة ؟ ارجو التوضيح و شكرا
Great entertainment ~ love your stuff
Extremely interesting
bloodie good show mate !
Thanks mate!
Please make a video on your blow lamp - I've not seen that design before. What fuel are you using in it ?
There is one on my channel! /Richard
What is the maintenance schedule for these engines? Or is this something you do before each start?
Oil up before starting. Then just keep an eye on the engine and check it up every now and then. They are very reliable. /Richard
