I hope this complete assembly is kept and preserved exactly as is for enthusiasts to see. There must have been thousands such rigs just scrapped and bulldozed away?
There is a lot to see on a Reid Engine, of what I could see it looks original and even the pipe fittings look original, different than what is made today fitting wise. Regardless the engine is worth a few bucks especially complete way it is there. You would be stunned at how much the fittings are worth alone. Look into getting a “lollipop” for the charging cylinder rod. You can find them online as reproductions with bolt and that would save a fair amount of lubing of the side rod bearing.
That thing looks like pure American history!
it is and it still works
Nice Reid engine. I’ve owned a few. Love it running on the hot tube.
Thank you for giving us the name of the engine.
love how that thing was built all around a trailer that still has tires on it

INTERESTING!
Rube Goldberg comes to mind.
Anyone else notice that huge wasp nest?
Question, what is the secondary piston on the side? Is that acting like a boost pump presserizing the intake?
This engine is a 2 stroke, the cylinder with the outside con rod is the scavenge air pump. Check out Reid oilfield engines.
....based...66 yards...i am ...cool
Is this available for the public to see?
Yes
@@kc8orw where? I tried googling but couldn't find a location
Hello....
Time warp
what makes this and oil well? where is (time stamp) a pipe with oil being pumped out of it.
NO where did the description claim to be an oil well. it claimed to be an oil well pump jack. Which is exactly what it is.
Creepy.
