- I did a little tinkering today. I think it runs a little better. I am a little braver today also .I will be a lot better when I get the belt pulley and truck brake petal installed!
Watching this old equipment run is hypnotic to me. The flywheels spinning, the piston rod and exposed crank punching away in thin air. The sound is better than any recorded music I ever heard. Excellent job restoring this beautiful piece of history.
I love just waiting engines run.
This is such a wonderful old machine, and the best part is that it's big enough and strong enough that you could use it for small farm jobs. Nothing better than ancient equipment that still works a bit for a living. :)
The craftsmanship that went into creating this machine and running it is a beautiful peice of history
Congratulations to the owner of that machine--restoration is beautiful so as an elderly retired farmer heartfelt thanks for putting this on youtube.
Thanks for the video! Good idea with the ear protection. As a kid in the 40's I remember some of the "hit and miss" tractors and such and we kids loved them. Best of luck!
WHAT A FANTASTIC LOOKING MACHINE, AND IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE BEFORE. WELL DONE.
A labor of love.
You can see.
And hear it.
(Listen to how smooth that engine runs.)
My grandfather would put the same care into whatever he worked on.
Cool. You spun a wheel and off she goes. I remember the old Ajax engines on a few oil pump jacks. Some wernt as tempramental as others. Great Video
And that was state of the art when my grandad were young men. But they also used their draft horses as well for many years after this. Makes me feel a bit old and nostalgic.
Great video. Cool tractor. Thanks.
Holy crap, now that is a gorgeous piece of machinery. Wow. Thanks for showing it!
Just amazed how these motors run how big and beautiful they are blows me away
Wow! Those wheels are as BEAUTIFUL as dangerous, what a piece of engineering. I could stare at that engine listening to its music all day long.
This tractor was used on a farm in southern Texas for growing crops.
Beautiful piece of machinery. But to be fair, the crops grew themselves. The tractor helped prepare the soil, plant the seeds, harvest, haul, etc. 🙂
It's a beautiful green monster! Fairbanks MORnStEr, beautifully restored! congrats!
The piston layout, the steering chains, and the reverse gearing reminds a lot the previous steam rollers and tractors... this is probably the closest missing link between steam and petrol era! Nice, really ! Thanks !
Id say the benz motorwagen is the closest link, but this is, if you look at industrial machinery
The...mort....traktor..stream..verygood

What a master piece.
Such a beautiful machine. It was a joy to watch it in action. Thank you!
Now that modern technology. There is no way a tractor built today that could even come close to running so long. Beautiful old mechanics of yesteryear
An incredible transition between a steam traction engine and the modern tractor
seems like a dangerous way to start an old Fairbanks. I love the video looks awesome when it's running
That's a very clean restore,I bet it didn't look that good new,nice job to who ever restored this 👍👍
engine sounds like a sample ready to be mixed into some kind of techno tune. amazing.
I will use this video to remind people what the old days were like. 😁😁😁
Enough of the good old days!
Simply fantastic! Even more because of it's green colour. Extremely well done, Sir. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I've seen a lot of old tractors here on UA-cam but this one is my favorite!
opravdu nádhernej a krásnej stroj a ten zvuk je vysoce luxusní
That has to be one of the most well-balanced of these huge 1-cylinder engines I've ever seen.
Most other machines of this kind rock back and forth at least a little, this one doesn't move at all.
the flywheels are very very heavy,these sure ar balanced for the non vibration of all the engine.

Co słycha

Now let's see a cold start! Seriously though, beautiful machine, hums along like it's fresh from factory. Bet it looks snazzier now with a thick layer of green epoxy than it did rolling out of the factory too.
This is a 4 stroke throttle governed engine not a hit n miss. The governor controls the butterfly in the carb.
UThe and Wendell Kelch you uused
Erwin Rogers
yeah you can hear the stroek is every two cycle , very unusual for an old diesel engine
plop386 it's a gas not a diesel engine
@@plop386 Well no, it’s a four stroke diesel engine, there’s nothing unusual about that. They’ve been around since the beginning
It's amazing what they had to assemble to get 25 HP back then and this was probably considered a fairly advanced powerplant. A modern motor of this size and weight could probably produce over 1000HP quietly and with minimal emissions. The first steps were huge but what a testament to engineering advancement!
This is not the same power as a 25 horse power briggs and stratton. this has toque values probably 10 times what your car has.
mike s not really, I'm sure the ft pounds in torque are a lot higher than 25, but not that high, that's why it needs huge flywheels and extremely low gearing.
25HP are 25HP no matter the torque.
power is = to torque x rotation speed so it does
@@mikesrestoration its torque on crankshaft is probably also low, but what makes it so powerful is its extremely small gearing ratio, same is valid for today's tractors
We threshed wheat with one of these when I was 12 years old in Shelbyville Kentucky on the Zaring Farm. My step dad owned it. I think it's in Arizona now days...
That's incredible. Look how far we've come in just over 100 years...amazing.
Hmm.dont know how far we came,more comfort and computer of course,so farmers are excluded from repairing their own equip.Just want to remind you that the Case 150 pulls 36 bottom plough with its steam engine.Dont think a modern 150 hp tractor can do that!
backing up great, even no back up camera. engine sounds great. thanks for your work. 1913 year, I had been on another star, ha ha. thanks again.

What a beautiful beast... Immaculate.
Thumbs Up and Happy New Years !
Is this house industrial music started? 😁 Such a cool piece of history
That is one piece of, awesome, antiquity. I am impressed. I truly am.
Doesn't get any better than this!!!!!👍👍👍
These you don't see every day I love the sound of it shutting down
I watch this video about every month. Fascinating
Each puff brings out the respect
Beautiful works of Art
Very, very good. It works very good. Also the look is like a dream.
Beautiful 👍
NOW THATS A ENGINE WE NEED MORE OF THIS, Old One Legged Joseph T.
What a wonderful, great part of heritage... absolutely wonderful.
what a beautiful piece of machinery
Muy entretenido ojala siempre siguieran
Nice to watch the piston from the lower end during operation.
What a beautiful sound! A beast breathing!
It was brand new the year my daddy was born! Thanks for sharing.
Just imagine the time when this sound was heard on farms all across America. Damn, I wish I was born 100 years earlier.
Element of Kindness: Oh boy, you would've reversed your wish rather quickly after having been there !
Super tractor of old times. Good video.
All kinds of cool stuff to get tangled up in!
My father restored and collected antique engines much like this one when I was a kid. He later sold them all to get a third lathe for some strange reason. I've liked sterling engines for a long time, but I've recently taken an interest in little flame licker engines and engines like he had. Just last Saturday my mother took me to an auction and bought me a 1 and a half horse Hercules hit and miss. It needs a little work, but gets compression! A governer weight is broken and I think I'll cast new ones myself even though I've never cast before! Speaking of governers, is the Fairbanks not a hit and miss on this tractor?
duskesko no
Beautiful restoration. 25hp, but how much torque? Several thousand foot-lbs I guess.
Wow, a lot of energy stored in those flywheels.
25hp single cylinder but I bet the torque if off the charts
Magnificent tractor. Thank you for keeping it going.
I don't think I've seen anyone recently as excited as you clearly were to fire that old girl up.
Can't watch enough of this machines.
High technology.
Mister Kelch! You dit a nice very nice job with your Fairbanks tractor its better than new! greatings from Heerlen south of the Netherlands
The good old days when things were built to last!
Maybe a muffler would help a little. 😀 A little Bit very loud but a great restoration of a big machine! Thanks!
Imagine when that was state of the art, awesome machine!
Beautiful old tractor built to last.
Old boy is running good!
Very cool old piece. Bonus points if you have the belt drive run your workshop.
Your machine looks good, a lot of hard work to get her looking like that.
Thanks for sharing.
It's so beautiful. I would marry a machine like that.
Can't imagine the pulling power of that.
And only a few h.p.....
antique power did an article about this tractor.neat to watch it run
Hearing protectors, good choice
Good job Wendell
I love this thing. I would drive it to the grocery store just because I could.
Awesome restoration.
Snap! I really enjoyed this start-up almost as much as my Fav John Deere Model A's around The World. I wonder what cool Tractor Design would look like if Fairbanks Morse went to Henry Dreyfuss before John Deere did?
What a beast. Sounds like the piston ist the size of a water bucket.
Lots of torque out of that 25 hp to move all that cast iron and steel!
Beautiful machine and running perfect.
That thing is cool as a big dog😊
What kind of fuel does this marvelous machine burn? I'm thinking not oil since I saw no smoke!
That's pretty increadable. 👋
Man. That thing is really cool
Farm life must've been rough on an engine like that. All the dust that got kicked up while working the fields had to've wreaked havoc on an open crank design
Beautiful tractor. Nice job
Very nice, how much will cost me this old piece
I can Just imagine waking up in a dream and hear the old girl starting to chug again after leaving her for the night
Beautiful restoration, sir. Bravo.
WOW that is so beautiful !!!, I love it !!!, great job on restoration and operation ! ! ! 😎👋👋👋👀👀👀
Old is gold
The grey vessel suspended underneath between the drive wheels; Is it Cooling Water; Fuel: Ballast; or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?
Nice! Would love to have that in my barn 👍
What exactly did this beast do in her time?
What a grand ol' tractor! Great restoration!

I live in the town where Fairbanks was first started I drive by Fairbanks scales every day.
My stepdad had one in Shelbyville Kentucky. I drove it all over the farm in the early 70’s. His name was Lawson Zaring. Anyone know where his tractor ended up? I once heard it is now in Arizona.
It is in Montana and will be coming up for sale soon . Aumann Auctions is selling it.
She was in south Texas in a Sugar Plantation.
Que maravilha esta engenharia, os verdadeiros descobridores da metalurgia associada a reação química do combustível. Aqui do Brasil mando meu abraço.
Is that a hit-or-miss engine? I know FM made a few of thosen and it sure sounded like one before you put a load on it
That beauty makes an awesome beat.
