Fairbanks-Morse 350HP 2 stroke Diesel engine startup

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This was taken at the 2015 Nowthen Threshing show in Minnesota. Impressive power!
The Nowthen Threshing show is held every year in August. www.nowthenthreshing.com/
The show is worth the trip to see this engine alone!

    Anyone who enjoys seeing these historic engines run should look into being in Brooks, Oregon around the beginning of August each year, where you can go to Antique Powerland Museum and view live, acres of these engines and hobbyists. Featuring an indoor engine room for permanently placed engines of a size and importance that they need to remain indoors. You will also see giant steam tractors from late 1800s driving around the grounds, races and a 1/4 mile long straight where they are driven by stands. Much else of interest as well, Quite a show, took me 2 days!

    You can even get a tour when they're not steaming... just don't forget to pay the caretaker for his time. I enjoyed the whole thing, both the indoor museum and the outdoor stuff too... a full steam-powered sawmill. Evergreen Aviation Museum just down the road too!

    @@rand49er actually, an engine is an engine and a motor is a motor, you should get that straight. Depending on the definition of a stroke, which varies in the English Language you can easily consider a stroke to consist of an entire revolution or just half. This is why it is used Interchangeably and is always up to interpretation. 99% of people will understand 2 stroke to be the same as 2 cycle for this reason. What's actually problematic is your lack of understanding the difference between a motor and an engine in the English language. If you're going to chastise people over the use of stroke or cycle I'd think to would be prudent to understand the difference.
