I had to start up a old Hercules 6 cylinder. That also needed a mag, I a 6 Cylinder distributor from a Chevy, Cut it in half, Machined the end put a sprocket, ran a shaft from the motor with sprocket, ran a chain drive, , It was a very large Generator, from a airport from 1955, it was Military, Hadn't run in 50 years Started right up, Ran like a new motor.
Put it in a Old Track Machine, I wouldn't take that Motor apart, Just do what I did, Piece a cake,Took Me a Hour, The Bracket was the Hardest Part, so you can time it. even that was not that hard just took time. Good Luck Like to see it Run.
Knew some guys that had Buda about 2ice that size for a sawmill. Never did pit it together but it was HUGE! 6-banger gas job I think. Nice old rig. Waiting to hear it run. Blessings
This was a Buda. It had it cast on it somewhere. HUGE blamed thing. Crank start. Might've been kerosene. Been YEARS and I can barely remember 30 minutes ago.@@DrRust
The hall Scott I saw was a 1100 cubic inch 4 cylinder laying flat under the floor of a bus it had 8 spark plugs I currently can’t remember who did the v12s but I didn’t think hall Scott did maybe continental? I know one v12 was made by pierce arrow then later was put in fire trucks
We had a 42 and a 48 LaFrance pumper with the V-12 gas jobs with the double plug ignition systems in each. Sounded like a flathead Ford starting up and ran smooth as silk. I have no idea who made them. been too long. Had a Studebaker/Reo deuce and a half for a tanker..@@DrRust
@@DrRust I work on these engines, we have about thirty of them at our shop, we can't find bearings or pistons for them anymore. I've been rebuilding them with used parts
My dad used to run his irrigation wells with Moline engines. He had a couple 605s but never an 800. Dad also had a G1000 Vista Diesel tractor.
I want a g1000 but I can’t really justify it

Being a backup generator it probably was well cared for and relatively low hours
Sounds like a fun project
@@DrRustGenerator Ran intire airport, I did this 15 Years ago, It was 8 ft by 3 ft wide 6 feet tall,I could run My road.I,m 65 years old

It would be interesting if you could actually get it too run.
It should be running soon
An LP engine with good maintenance will go over 10,000 hours without an overhaul.
That’s what I’m hoping for

Buda made some big stuff gas and diesel
Hall Scott built some really big stuff too

Seems like Hall Scott made fire truck motors. Maybe the old gas flathead V-12's in LaFrances?@@DrRust

AWESOME thumbnail! "Runs on...Prozac...Prophylactics...
prunejuice...??? LOL
What would you take for it
I don’t plan to sell it
good luck finding bearings and pistons if you need them
Actually they’re not that hard to get stuff for
@@DrRust I work on these engines, we have about thirty of them at our shop, we can't find bearings or pistons for them anymore. I've been rebuilding them with used parts
If it's run on propane it probably never need bearings or pistons. Have ever seen a propane engine ever taken down. They usually look like new.
@@neilkratzer3182 we run them on nat'l gas to pull irrigation wells
You should check with the tractor pull guys they mess with these and the 800hd motors all the time
are ya gonna stick it on a tractor? which one?
Possibly I’m thinking of getting a moline g or gvi it’s basically a bolt in for those
Then flinch the with that slit hole in the top is where you put a Magneto or distribute.
@@DrRust would love to see you do that. A different change of pace besides the same style videos ya do.
We’re also looking at putting a John Deere diesel 6 cylinder in a farmall or a pickup
Nice engine. Would be cool to restore it and have it on a nice trailer if you don't use it for something else.
