Id love to hear it under load. Its an absolute work of functional art.
-
In 100 yrs no one will have an LS on a trailer to show off but this thing will still be sipping fuel and doing work. Things just aren't made to last anymore, everything is disposable. Very nice work man!! I could sleep in a hammock to the sound of that thing

It breathes, it farts, therefore it lives... :)

31 revolution between each power stroke, impressive
-
this is a great old engine and a clever mechanism.....as far as i'm concerned this engine represents the high point in petroleum engine technology and its been downhill ever since.....the world today would be a better place today if no petroleum engine of more than 1 cylinder or 18 hp or less than 5000 lbs had ever been built

I got my first engine. I picked up a 3 hp Fairbanks and Morris Z last weekend. Your 18hp is very nice. It started super easy!
-
I enjoy seeing, hearing and watching these old engines run. I particularly like to see them running machinery that it might have been used with; threshing machines, hay balers, grist mills, saw mills, etc.
-
I’ve always liked H+M engines. Something about seeing it just spin down like this and spring back to life is super cool! Great job!
-
100 years old and still running says something about things that were built to last ! About a billion times better than todays junk !
-
The massive flywheel is the heart and soul of this engine.

You made starting that look too easy! Thanks for the preview of the show! Shoot some video at the show of some other cool engines and post it on your channel for those of us who will never make it to that show.

I am just making one of these in mini. 1" piston cast rings & 1 1\2" stroke. I can only dream it will coast for over 30 revs like yours. Amazing piece of machinery. Thanks for showing. Regards. Steve.

Olds liked to do things a bit differently. Really nice!
-
That’s gotta be some really good bearings in those axles🤣 it pulled out so easy
-
real nice engine and video, i was getting car parts at a you pull it, with a friend, he had never heard of a hit or miss engine, sent him thisvideo
-
I could listen/watch it all day long.
-
Eight weeks later the thermostat opened. 🙃
-
That engine runs like a top! Great job!
-
Great job on the restoration! Looking forward to seeing next weekend at Berryville.

I can't imagine how much work went into making it start so easily.
