" 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...

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.

Shure...... I think you mean 'sure'....!

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.

My grandfather had 4 Fairbanks Morse engines to supply power for his Ice Factory and part of the town. This was in the 1920's. I had the opportunity to see one of the engines run in 1965. It was a one cylinder. He kept in running condition for standby service. We used it to power the factory after Hurricane Betsy came through in 1965 and knock out power for almost a week

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.

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!

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 .

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.

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...

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

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.

When you pulled the lever for the air start, I thought, "Did he take that bar out of the flywheel?" Great video!

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.

That was awesome! When it was running at low RPM, it sounded like an old Hart Parr gas engine. Thanks for the great video!

Beautiful engine👍👍👍 It runs like clockwork! Beautiful collection!!!

She is just beautiful, thanks for the vision and that great sound…. Greetings from Western Australia

Thanks for showing how to start that engine. Not a battery in sight and it still works; love it.

Wow that one sounds so smooth it could put me to sleep beautiful piece of machinery thanks for sharing

So damn cool, thank you for sharing! I’d definitely like to see more, so record more often!

There are tons of videos of these things running but Cool to see a video of the actual starting procedure thanks for sharing.

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.

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.

It was good to notice that the flywheel run true without wobble or flex.

Outstanding vid. I throughly enjoyed it. Engine sounds great. Simplicity and power, what's not to love.

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

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 really great machine! Thanks for the upload 😊

Great engine and excellent video. These engines will live forever.

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.

для своего состояния на данный момент, сохранность выше всех похвал!!! Уважение к таким людям!!! Это пишет механик со 36 летним стажем работы, еще раз повторюсь, большое уважение к вам.

I thought your video was brilliant. I love the sound of these old engines.

Just hearing that run makes me happy, I love antique engines

Really nice running engine. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video Sir! Very interesting

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.

I like the narrative, few words and concise. Thank you.

Dude this is a way cool video....I have always loved these antique pieces of equipment....

Great to see when it starts first try. Clever design of two stroke

love the sound i can sit there all day with that engine

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

That was fun. I love a nice one lung engine. The Fairbanks Morse have such a distinct sound.

What a beautiful engine. Thanks for the video!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

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.

VERY BEAUTIFUL

Could almost smell the heavy diesel fumes on startup ,well done.

I enjoy watching you start the engine I like old time engine

Wow what a great engine i have just got a 5 bhp petter 2stroke and restoring it great vid, South Australia Cheers Robin

Thanks for keeping that engine running.

Nice video and even without the ads and what not👍🏻👍🏻 best regards from Denmark

I love these type of videos if I had a complaint it would be that the engine hasn't got a job

Happy 100th birthday, a fine piece of iron to own.

Thanks for sharing the info about this amazing Morse Engine. btw, I like its smoke rings :))

Very cool love to see them old engines

This IS history, and equally deserving of preservation and protection. 👍👍

That's just plain cool keep it turning

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.

Nice smooth running engine for one from 1924. Amazing!

Very nice engine indeed! Starting with compressed air, cant see where it's coming from? Chapeau!

Runs very good. Like that sound👍

you could make a techno song just with that idle sound. it's awesome.

Good old days made to last cheap to run mobiles all the work shop last forever god bless you Jay

Nice to hear it's a Fairbanks-Morse engine. So many say Fairbanks-Morris.

Thanks. Smooth engine, smooth presentation!

Old is gold Nice job

Thank you for going over the start up procedure.

You've got yourself a video, and a fine machine.

The perfect size for one of these... anything more is just more trouble. That four-cylinder on YT is a beast.

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.

That antique yellow looks great

A great video and explanation. Thanks for posting. Yes please, more videos.

I saw dozens of these engines and many more in Cuban sugar mills still being worked

Great video, wow it looks so fascinating.

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.

beautiful engine , sounds sweet

What a workhorse ! Very cool !

Amazing! As hugely powerful as an air-cooled VW Beetle!

While only 50hp, the torque must be insane.

Love this engine. Been looking for a 2 stroke FM.

Smiling. Nothing like a Fairbanks.

Sure we enjoy this video, thank you for sharing 👌

Thank for effort, really excellent.

If you could make a video of just this thing starting up and running, asmr style, I'd sleep to it.

We had a Fairbanks engine on a shrimp oat lugger that I was a deck hand on - I would spin the flywheel with my hands with the compression off - then engage the compression- started every time - had a five governor that would control the pto which would drive the wench which would pick up the nets - solid - a quart of diesel would pick up the nets

What an awesome engine!

Great video Randy.. Thanks

Love your Video. Thank you very much for Sharing.
