Antique tractor cold start compilation
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I was invited to a collector friend of mine. Some of you may know him. Has a beautiful collection and I was graciously allowed to film the day. This video is just the cold start of these vintage/old tractors. The next videos to come will be running them on belt dyno / prony brake.
These are the tractors started in this video
Aultman Taylor 22-45
Aultman Taylor 30-60
Rumley X 25-40
Rumley G 20-40
Rumley 22-45
Rumley E 30-60
Hart Parr 30-60
Thanks everyone for watching!

It's hard to imagine those were new at one point and how exciting it would of been to bring it home. Most likely replacing your team. Thanks for sharing 👍

@@kfl611 👍. Our farm is going on to be 107 years old. When my grandpa was still here to tell the stories he talked about his team's. He told a story about his dad having a run away with a team and pulling the grain binder into the trees and destroying it. He was never so happy to purchase a tractor and get some real work done. When I asked real work? Horses sound like a lot of real work. He chuckled and said horses were real work but they always needed a break so it was hard to cover the acres you wanted to do.

@@jeremycherny2041 If it were me and I had to rely on 'farm work' for my living and income......I think it would kill me. I'm too soft. My mom knew all too well getting up before the sun and gathering wood for the wood cook stove - the only heat in the house, before getting ready for school. I don't think they had a house with electricity till the early 1950's. Picking tobacco, and crops and cotton so you would have money for clothes for school - in that down south heat and humidity, I wouldn't last long. My mom said her father never trusted tractors and never had one. I think what land they did have they rented it out for other farmers, and that was their income. But he used a team of horses till he stopped farming the land. Go Grandparents and Mom. It seems like too much work for too little rewards as far as I'm concerned, but praise the lord someone wants to be a farmer or we would not be able to eat. My grandfather only ever wanted to dig his bare feet into the soil and be a farmer. I guess that was basically all he ever knew. My grandparents did have a cleaning business in Florida, which my grandmother loved but my grandfather hated - he wanted to farm, not live in a city. That didn't last long before he went back to North Carolina and resumed farming.

@@kfl611 there was $4 million worth of prairie tractors on that short video. they relatively simple to work on.
My dad told me the first tractor he ever drove was an Oil Pull Rumley. He said they used water injection to increase HP when they warmed up. He was born in 1911 and mostly farmed with horses until he could afford a tractor. He bought a John Deere 2 cylinder when I was about 6 years old that I learned to operate.

These old machines were built to last as long as you keep the rust off of them. There are hundred+ year old engines similar to this still being used in the places the old british empire held power like in india. New orleans which is slightly under sea level keeps its city dry using massive pumps built in the 1800's which still work perfectly. Most stuff produced now is designed to fail so that there is a future market for their stuff. We ~could~ make cars and other machines that last a lifetime but there isn't any profit in that.
It's amazing to think that these big machines were designed/built without the aid of CAD or any of the tools we have today.

I had mine at the Ag Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs Ks a number of years ago. An older gentleman walked up and told me his dad had bought a neighbor’s “E” Rumely after the neighbor got killed starting it. He slipped between the flywheel and rear wheel. My wife would have been happier not hearing that.
I never thought I'd ever see a tractor with a kickstart
ive got tears from watching and hearing this.... anybody else?
The wild thing is that the oldest men in this video by far never saw these tractors actually farming except for maybe display. I certainly don't know the ages of these majestic tractors. But I'm willing to wager it was well before the men shown. So blessed be these tractors that they live, and run, forever. There's just not much information about them to really learn about them. I bet they'd pull a damn skiffy bottom plow or 50. Very impressive. Keep the ladies sheltered. Beautiful.
Love your collection. What's nice NO emission BS . No expensive computer or programs to buy . Owner can repair these lovely tractors without getting sued by manufacturer. These lovely tractors may be coming back . I love watching these wonderful antiques run and admire ther owners and operators. I wouldn't have a clue on how to start one of these beauties thank you for keeping these items alive.

I am also involved with machinery preservation on the other side of the world (Australia). I congratulate you on such a great collection of working history. Dad would have loved to see this. Thanks mate.
Wow fantastic. The old timers when these first came out would've been stoked to have had one of these. These horses don't need hay.
I'm absolutely fascinated by the steering mechsnism of the Aultman Taylor. Simple but does the job.

Actually the model x the first oil pull started was the lastest produced at the time, the model e and g are referred to as heavy weight's, using channel frames and open gearing, we're as the model x considered a light weight, using stamped frames and enclosed gear cases saving lots of lube compared to the once through method of the day,in addition the x was a superpower as evidenced by coolant expansion tank on top of the radiator.
Its so nice how smooth the 2nd. Aultman Taylor runs. Great craftmanship!

The machines that helped this country to grow and strive and fed the people around . Beautiful to see and watch. To me that's the stand of our great country. Next to the great War veterans. We would not be here today if it wasn't for them .Salute to the farmers.
True genius engineering. Nobody today has the brain or the brawn like these old timers and the ones who built and invented these marvels. majestically simple yet reliable as all can be. Look how easy some of these are to start with no electronics in sight and these things could pull a mountain over. Astounding.

Your comment reminds me of a car I saw at a traffic light today: if it stood still for more than a second or so, the engine would automatically turn off, and as soon as the driver gave it some throttle, it would _instantly_ restart and start driving. It did that 4 times or so while creeping forward in the queue. Honestly seems a bit excessive to me, but it's still impressive that it can just do that without skipping a beat!

@@JanTuts Start-stop engines have become quite a popular way of conserving fuel, and from what I learned elsewhere, it is a lot more involved than just starting it in the way you'd do with a normal always-on engine. Apparently the computer controlling the engine remembers what part of the combustion cycle it was in before it was stopped, so that it can just pick up where it left off rather than having to run the engine through a complete cycle to re-learn the cam and crank positions. As you'd expect, it's got a better battery and heavy duty starter, too.

@@therealchayd Rofl what? That's not how a car engine works. There is no relearning anything. The camshaft is connected to the crankshaft mechanically, this is also the case in modern cars, and also in those with a start stop system. There is no relearning. As for ignition and injection, even that happens the very first turn in almost every car engine.

It's a 4 cylinder engine, so it's much smoother running. Aultman Taylor built some of the most advanced tractors during the time of the big prairie tractors. Time was not on the side of these behemoths though. Too slow, too much maintenance required, and fuel consumption per acre would be considered insane by today's standards. Awhile back I read the results of the Nebraska tests of the Rumely 30-60 model E. I thought at first that the astronomically high fuel consumption figures must have been a misprint, but nope.
