Thanks for posting this video. My Dad worked on these engines a bit in the field (Battle of the Bulge) but another friend told me how valuable he was to the U.S. Army, because of his skills with this engine. It was apparently not he easiest metal beast to set up the camshafts and distributor timing, and he was an expert in that, making him so precious that his commanders kept him in the safest surroundings possible. It also shows so well how satisfying engine work can be: "Ah! It runs!"

Thank you for sharing this video and your experience. This engine is awesome.

When I was a boy, fire trucks ran on those big gas engines. I remember that deep growl.

Je suis devenu fan de ce moteur. Merci d'avoir partage, et excusez moi mon francais. Cordialement Solomon

fire breathing monster of an engine and sounds awsome

Amazing thing! An engine this size running on gas! No wonder the Allied really needed Pluto running full time.

So close and then it runs as though there was never an issue :o)

Thierry bravo pour le démarrage du gros moteur,,qui est capricieux. Amitiés

Sounds very nice. It is getting there. Will be a beautiful truck when all done.

Hall Scotts all liked to breath fire, especially the butane burners.

Sounds so good

Show de motor. ✌️

Bravo 👏👏👏

Thats great :D you got any pictures of that engine?

Very nice..how far is the restoration?

Is this the standard M26 or the M26A1?

The restoration looks very good, I also collect and restore both US and German military trucks, the closest I have come to an M26 is I owned a MACK 123 for a few years. The engine in the M26 was of course the Hall Scott but wasnt it like 844 cubic inch? If I am not mistaken the MACK 123 came out with and engine of spectacular cubic inches prior to them replacing it with the MACK V8 but diesel. Extremely interesting old truck!

Very nice work, is that a Zenith Model # 29 Carb? Adieu,

Bonsoir viens de voir cette video Chapeau beau travail J ai un petit probleme avec mon Ward Lafrance Comment sont disposee les commandes du teuil et de la grue pour les accelerateur a main Merci

大きなエンジンの排気音に秀樹感激Goodです=3

I think the timing needs advanced a little bit, based on the constant flames pouring out.

Ain't got no gas!...Karl Childers.

Sans liquide de refroidissement bravo

You can literally watch the fuel in the bottle go down at the last scene of this video! Hall-Scott engine's aren't exactly fuel efficient!

Hall Scott powered Brill buses were said to be liked by drivers because they could pass anything on the road, except a gas station.

I think it needs fuel

Get to going and get on with it

I believe this engine has an updraft carburetor. It is mounted low on the side of the block.

Sacre bleau ! avance le allumage par dieu!

I gave up watching after 7 minutes. It's so tiresome, as they don't know what they are doing.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYCA2qWYidDTkaQ.html Here is a link to a video of this pacific finished. As you can see he knows his job. He is probably one of the best MV mechanic you can find in europe. He have a very long vehicle restoration list. Brockway B666, M26 Pacific, M26A1 Pacific, M8 greyhound, M8 Howitzer Stuart, Ward la France, GMC CCKW, and many other smaller vehicles... All were stripped down and completly rebuild.

boring. I don't think they know wot they're doing!!
