A little end of the month get out locally @ Tri-Tank fab shop, the highlight for me was someone showed up with a small 1-1/2 Fairbanks-Morse in the bed of his P/U.
The thing just purred along like a little John Deere. Disregard the T picture that is another project. |

Is that on Warren Ave?.....Is it for trucks only?...Listening to one of those engines is the most relaxing sound....can’t wait to get to the Fair and listen a bunch all going at once....Mark

Yes an open crank throttler, it's a little un-nerving standing behind one. Been reading Gas Engine magazine for years, no more room for a vehicle so I'm making room for a little Fairbanks-Morse....just to play with of course
![]() Mark, that is on Warren ave just on the right after Chadwick Barros, Steve and his son Nate do this get together for their friends and customers. Those two are a fab and welding duo, mostly hot rods and rat rods some classics and others in between show up. There were about 20 tonight. Scott |

Check out smokstak.com. A fordbarn for farm stuff. my old 3.5-4hp open crank witte. Oil field rig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsVnPdRjCU4 I currently have a 1928 1.5 McCormick Deering M. Original paint and skid with lettering. Cast wheel set from an Amish crew recasting them as made. Also a later 1940s IHC 1.5hp version "the iron pig" (deering split, International. Basically a single cylinder model a engine. Lot of guys use them for ice cream makers at car shows). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PFtVpFM37w Last edited by Tinker; 09-27-2019 at 08:52 PM. |

Our museum curator had one once here that was huge. it was on a trailer and the wheel for it probably measured about 5-6 feet in diameter. It was sure something to hear run!

I'm lucky in that we have a fantastic display of old engines just about 1/2 hour away. They put on a big three day show every summer. Check out the big, black steam engine in the video at 26:30. It came out of a Ford plant out east.
