Tis a thing of Beauty. Past generations sure did know how to make things that LAST. There is something very calming in watching one of these giant engines run. Thanks for the Video. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Shure are glad there are people like you around that like to keep those old engines running . They are a great piece of history, love to se see them running still.
This was a great video! I need to say that I love seeing ALL the antique engines starting and running. I'm not detracting from anyone else's videos by saying this.... BUT the fact that you EXPLAINED what was going on and how the startup process works, really made it enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Looking forward to more videos!
From UK. Great video, lovely old engine, a credit to you sir. People often forget these old engines were designed to provide steady reliable power for long periods of time. They required little maintenance other than clean fuel and good lubrication. I was involved with a smaller engine of this type that developed a crack in the water jacket and was ok provided it was not stopped. It soldiered on without stopping for over two years while an alternative engine and pump could be installed on the essential water supply. Oil changes were made by pouring in fresh oil as the old oil was drained away, there was no oil filter. I understand that after repair it went back into service.
Over all the videos I have seen of this engine over the last 15 years this is the closest look so far detailing the startup. Hope for 2024 this engine gets special attention from the museum for 100 years.
A very pleasurable video - no mistaking that! What a lovely old engine. I would like to have seen some of these back in their day - actually doing the work as designed for.
Man what a nice engine, you sure have to know what your doing with that, which it's clear you do. Sounded great, I bet you can feel the thump of it through the ground. Great job👍
I've always loved the old Fairbanks Morse 2 strokes. There's just something about them... I love the sound of the crankcase reed valve. Big ole beasts! I love the consistent sound of the engine when running. I'm still waiting for someone to use it in a loop for some weird sort of industrial music...
Thank you so much for the video I'll do my best to share this all over absolutely love these engines my grandpa has an inline 6 version on his farm for electricity
Keep up the good work. Great video. Good job. Thanks. There was a guy in Woodland , Washington who had all kinds of restored machines that , from what I hear were all in running condition and looked bran new. I never got to see them but I sure see how they must have needed big strong pieces like that Fairbanks to help run all the other machines in a shop.God probably got a kick out of things that we'd come up with to acomplishcsertain tasks. Thanks again.
I read a story about this same model engine that was used to power a cotton gin in the south. They worked the engine so hard that the studs for the head bolts stretched out, and the head finally blew off the engine and shot through the roof of the engine house. There was no serious damage, they did order a new head and had a mechanic come out and replace the sheared off studs. They had the engine running after just a few days of being down.

Great video! Lots of kudos for keeping these venerable engines running! I'd love to see you put a belt on it and run something, like a generator, perhaps. I'm sure she'd like to do something to earn her keep.
makes my 12 hp titan look like a toy and its 2-1/2 tons lol. a friend of mine has a 20 or 25 hp fairbanks twin with a generator and it blows smoke rings too. thanks for the great video and its so cool to see people still into hit and miss engines
First time I've ever heard of air starting an engine. Also the first time I've heard air starting an engine. Terrific start! Awesome! But it would be nice to see it doing some work that would utilize that power.
When I was a kid, I was put to sleep listening. To the slow sound of the Ajax running pulling the oil well pump jacks up and down in south eastern new mexico.
Someone built that. Someone designed that. And they did it almost 100 years ago!!! No matter how "smart" I think I am.... Man, that's amazing. I could never. And btw your video is awesome. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Yes FM was the reason for the question why did we really need to drop the new toys on two civilian cities because the subs had effectively starved that little island..
" We have the California approved straight pipe" and "smoke rings are optional". A brilliant piece of history, love it.
Peter Blacklin - The smoke rings are because the engine is cold
@@haraldpettersen3649 no, the smoke rings are because it runs on diesel...

My,friend yes good
احسنت 👍👍👍🇩🇿
What volume and pressure of air are required to start this machine? i.e. What size is the air compressor tank?
Great video, I love to listen to old engines run and see how they work and learn about their history .

I love watching all these old pieces of machinery coming to life. You done a great job on the video and the engine is beautiful

It runs like clockwork! Beautiful collection!!!
She is just beautiful, thanks for the vision and that great sound…. Greetings from Western Australia
Thank you so much for the video I'll do my best to share this all over absolutely love these engines my grandpa has an inline 6 version on his farm for electricity
What a really great machine! Thanks for the upload 😊
Outstanding vid. I throughly enjoyed it. Engine sounds great. Simplicity and power, what's not to love.
Thanks for showing how to start that engine. Not a battery in sight and it still works; love it.
Keep up the good work. Great video. Good job. Thanks.

So damn cool, thank you for sharing!
I’d definitely like to see more, so record more often!
That was awesome! When it was running at low RPM, it sounded like an old Hart Parr gas engine. Thanks for the great video!
Really nice running engine. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Great engine and excellent video. These engines will live forever.
Runs like it's new. Very cool to see these things actually run instead of sit as yard art. I'm sure standing next to it is an experience all it's own.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video Sir! Very interesting
Wow that one sounds so smooth it could put me to sleep beautiful piece of machinery thanks for sharing
When you pulled the lever for the air start, I thought, "Did he take that bar out of the flywheel?" Great video!
There are tons of videos of these things running but Cool to see a video of the actual starting procedure thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
I like the narrative, few words and concise. Thank you.
What a beautiful engine. Thanks for the video!
Dude this is a way cool video....I have always loved these antique pieces of equipment....
That was fun. I love a nice one lung engine. The Fairbanks Morse have such a distinct sound.
Nice video and even without the ads and what not👍🏻👍🏻 best regards from Denmark
Great to see when it starts first try. Clever design of two stroke
Just hearing that run makes me happy, I love antique engines
Thanks for keeping that engine running.
Happy 100th birthday, a fine piece of iron to own.
Wow what a great engine i have just got a 5 bhp petter 2stroke and restoring it great vid, South Australia
Cheers Robin
Thank you for going over the start up procedure.

Could almost smell the heavy diesel fumes on startup ,well done.
Great video! Lots of kudos for keeping these venerable engines running! I'd love to see you put a belt on it and run something, like a generator, perhaps. I'm sure she'd like to do something to earn her keep.
I thought your video was brilliant. I love the sound of these old engines.
love the sound i can sit there all day with that engine
So cool! I can never get enough of 😊these things! The sound, the reverberations, the art in making it, way awesome and so so dependable.
That antique yellow looks great
You've got yourself a video, and a fine machine.
Thanks. Smooth engine, smooth presentation!
Runs very good. Like that sound👍
That's just plain cool keep it turning
Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Great video, wow it looks so fascinating.
This IS history, and equally deserving of preservation and protection. 👍👍
I enjoy watching you start the engine I like old time engine
beautiful engine , sounds sweet
Very cool love to see them old engines
Great video Randy..
Thanks
Great video the engine was amazing
Old is gold
Nice job
Very nice engine indeed! Starting with compressed air, cant see where it's coming from? Chapeau!
Love this engine. Been looking for a 2 stroke FM.
Nice smooth running engine for one from 1924. Amazing!
A great video and explanation. Thanks for posting. Yes please, more videos.
Thanks for sharing the info about this amazing Morse Engine. btw, I like its smoke rings :))
Good stuff - gets right to the point, informative all the way through. Thanks for not having theme music, or an (annoying) scripted intro or outro.
It's a beauty I wish I could see it in person
First time I've ever heard of air starting an engine. Also the first time I've heard air starting an engine. Terrific start!
Awesome! But it would be nice to see it doing some work that would utilize that power.
What an awesome engine!
Thank for effort, really excellent.
When I was a kid, I was put to sleep listening. To the slow sound of the Ajax running pulling the oil well pump jacks up and down in south eastern new mexico.
What a workhorse ! Very cool !
That was awesome!👍
Lovely sound!
Love your Video. Thank you very much for Sharing.
Awesome, I like that engine!
I saw dozens of these engines and many more in Cuban sugar mills still being worked
Extremely entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
OSHA approved lol
you could make a techno song just with that idle sound. it's awesome.
Nice to hear it's a Fairbanks-Morse engine. So many say Fairbanks-Morris.
Someone built that. Someone designed that. And they did it almost 100 years ago!!! No matter how "smart" I think I am....
Man, that's amazing. I could never. And btw your video is awesome. Don't let anyone tell you different.
What does it say about me that, if I won the lottery, that I'd have a whole museum full of these in working condition? Maybe even running my home.
She's beautiful!
Nice enjoyed that beast
Great video, good explanation, Thank you.
a Beautiful machine, good as new.
The perfect size for one of these... anything more is just more trouble. That four-cylinder on YT is a beast.
While only 50hp, the torque must be insane.
I love the sound
Awesome video.
I read somewhere that the U.S. fleet of submarines during WWII had twin straight -12s Fairbanks Morse engines.
Old American Iron.
Yes, but those are twin crank, opposed-piston engines.
Yes FM was the reason for the question why did we really need to drop the new toys on two civilian cities because the subs had effectively starved that little island..
Great sound
I love these type of videos if I had a complaint it would be that the engine hasn't got a job
Good old days made to last cheap to run mobiles all the work shop last forever god bless you Jay
Amazing! As hugely powerful as an air-cooled VW Beetle!
Great job and cool
good video and nice engine
Smiling. Nothing like a Fairbanks.
Sure we enjoy this video, thank you for sharing 👌
Thanks!
Pretty cool!
