1906 Advance Steam Traction Engine - Jay Leno's Garage 

Best comment!

Thomas the pain engine.

Best comment of all time!

@@zaucethesaucebauce527 yes, yes i am.

If you can't run faster than 4 mph see a doctor now.

Indeeds it has all the bells and whistles

nICE!

Anthony Aprile Im the only person who subscribed to you

@@austiniscool1242 o?

And the sheep were nervous.

It could be called the "Leno Automobile Museum" to last hundreds of years.

And if people were to add on to it; it would almost have every classic known to exist.

And sound off the whistle at 6am so the workers know the shift has started

Damn straight

yessss

Even better then trenching, plow the yards 🤣🤣

No, more when you have a fully functional steam car in the the first place

@@peanut9560 no not at all, we’re a group of various brokeass tradesmen & we rebuilt a 1904 traction engine we knew was sitting up mauka where was parked after the last sandalwood grove was harvested, we got all amped up watching Fred the chimney sweep (here on youboob, go watch em) back when youboob was young & not the garbage it became, took us 6 years & it’s in my buddys place in hamakua since he’s got the only garage big enough for her, still needs quite a bit but she runs & will kill you very quickly if you’re not on the ball

@@patrickancona1193 ok

@@patrickancona1193 Haha, that's the kind of comment that you have to read with a deep southern accent in your mind

Either that or work the injector like crazy.

I agree with everything you say but I think he has made some savvy buys over the years and held many of these them so long that he probably would come out ahead if he sold a few....but I doubt he will - probably he will set up a museum with his collection some day and have it carry on in his manner. At least I hope. I would hate to ever hear that he was deep in debt due to his obsession.

@@Cheetorblz no way lol late night show hosts get bank

@@Cheetorblz he's doing just fine being worth hundreds of millions. Also rare cars are an investment, his F1 for example he bought for 800k and it's worth about 16million now

I agree. He really is a treasure for automobile enthusiasts and he gets the best talent in the industry to help. Best part is he USES them, in LA nonetheless, and shares it with us.

@@paultrigger3798 That is what i said. He could sell only a few and come out ahead.

Nice job, Mike. It's a real work of art.

AntiqueFarmImplement Well, two things could happen, if the boiler has fusible plugs, which it should, those plugs would melt due to the heat and the remaining water would go into the firebox and put out the fire. The other thing that would happen is the boiler would explode.

My father had a Kelly Springfield--I remember painting the Rivets. Lots of detail-and slow going!

You do beautiful work!

He just said it was another guy who restored it not you

That sounds very interesting. The old steam engines seem pretty feasible with today's gas prices.

It's awesome right?!

totally!

and all at a speed lower than most cars can idle !

20 hp at 325 rpm is 323 lb-ft, if you calculate it out.

wallaka That's the old RAC horsepower though, 20hp works out at 225bhp or thereabouts...

ʇɥƃᴉɹlɐ ʇou ɯᴉ actual horse power though, not bhp

Literally equivalent to a team of 16 horses?

EricTheNotSoRed yup

OK cancel you are commenting

What mountains ?

mine does, it's where the kettle is.

Hey,. Once I saw Jay talk about his "Duesenberg section" ... and another time, about his "Jaguar section". LOL...LOL

man that sucks

My garage has a micro section. Lawn mower, weed eater, leaf blower.

:'(

Don't wish to brag (but I will), one of my model train locos has an air raid siren.

Yeah, i believe (based on some British machines from the era) that everything gear was considered consumable on these (and other Steam machines) and...if you think about it, it makes sense. Materials weren't so good back then as they are today, why spend a ludicrous amount of money on a part when you can readily have it exchanged at any workshop in the vicinity, or, even your own. I know for sure that this type of engine was used to run a Matcher&Planer for wood with 4 different heads, which is a lot of work, so turning a mill in the home shop wouldn't be far fetched. A guy could set his own little empire back then, now...you have to buy the part and hope it fits/works/last and sell your arm and leg while you're at it. Not sure we've made a fair trade in time.

And 1 billion foot-pounds of torque!

Aaaand….a big kid with a huge tonka toy 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love it!

+Andrew Lang at least someone knows that safety wasnt that much of a big deal back then lol

Andrew Lang

I sell heroin for a living.

I sell my body for a living. Nothing but fatties and gays.

It wouldn't surprise me! I seriously thought he had some sort of steam locomotive somewhere, though.

Big Boy is currently being restored in Montana... So when it is finished.. ;)

The largest know steam engine in mankind and America

@Andrew Cuthbertson >>> That will be Jay's NEXT video series: *"JAY LENO'S RAILROAD"* 😁😁😁😁

for the really huge steam engines. search the stationary ones used for water/sewage pumping in the big cities

locomotive=no steering wheel

And what’s surprising is this is on the smaller side for steam tractors/road locomotives. They get a lot beastlier as you go up.

@@kishascape you should see the 110 hp case! Now that is big! If you want to go bigger you should see 150 hp case now that is huge!

TAOFLEDERMAUS I go every year. Love the old tractors

Im so glad to see you here! You guys are the bomb! Sorry im not watching your channel right now, yall check them out.

This is all (it's amazing truly is from all over actually) from the industrial revolution is what this all spawned from its incredible and love people who have a passion for this genuinely makes me smile and wow that engines beautiful truly is! Of course using other things to make manual work that bit easier essentially is what the revolution was all about and one thing most probably don't realise is they needed engineers to design and build these various machines not just traction engines but everything and hence or thus the requirement of the universities what is generally really called the red brick universities in the industrial cities in the north of England essentially. Now the term red brick can or has become a label for any real University that was founded around that time if it a was genuinely a red brick (like the University of Leeds etc) or if it was not really a red brick but was founded at the same time as those. rather it was the 9 civic universities in the norther industrialised cities like Leeds, Wakefield, Manchester etc.... after the 1960s proliferation of course where reclassed as polytechnics and now have expanded into what they are now, though nothing like it was have actually been educated at what was a former poly but really was a combination merger of 6 educational institutions that became Leeds Metropolitan University a relatively new one.

Pro tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Justin Alvin definitely, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

+blackmetalofnorway1 i thought I have one of me riding one while a good friend and my brother ran it. I was taking a break lol

+blackmetalofnorway1 its on my channel "riding on 1929 Keck-Gonnerman".

Unfortunately, some people think history is stupid. I could understand why they don't care about the machines, but the reason the machines were made should at least be worth listening to.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't John Deere make steam tractors before internal combustion engines became widespread?

+twistedyogert no Deere made plows, then bought out the Waterloo Boy company which were making Waterloo Boy tractors. these are internal combustion tractors.

Iike a penis

You dont say!

yes i believe the engineer and fireman and two cops who were writing a ticket for driving on the pavement with steel wheels

I also have a steam section, it's mostly for making cups of tea.

Don't get all steamed about it . . .

More like the other 2% Half is a little generous I don't hold it against them though. I'm convinced it's all in the decisions one makes, so I can't be to far from being there myself

Jay is wealthy. Only 0.01% of the population is wealthy, and the vast majority of them didn't earn it. Someone making 500k has 99% more in common with someone making 30k than someone who makes millions annually by doing nothing other than already having hundreds of millions. If people truly understood wealth there would be no Republican party and the Democrats would be actual socialists

@@shane864 You're going to deep my guy, it is a tongue in cheek comment about a comment jay made in the video...

"It was such a big event that schools were closed during harvest time and wouldn't reopen until the harvest was finished." yes, that's why the school break is in summer still

666Tomato666 lol harvest is in the fall.

Tim Colwell not for wheat

666Tomato666 What do you think these things threshed? They threshed oats and wheat. and shredded corn both of which happen in the fall so stfu.

Thanks

Ompa lompa dompedey doo i have. A riddle for here for you

no sir you get nothing

No

God forbid when Jay Is long and gone. I hope they make his garage a museum and preserve everything about him as a car enthusiast.

Trace Anthony best comment

been there, done that.

"The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles."

+Nukl I thought I was the only one, I find that having so many exposed moving parts working in tandem fascinating.

Nah, the cops would behave like everybody else and gawk in wonder.

yeah, I think Jay Leno gets a pass.

cops probably pull him over and take pictures instead of writing tickets

He’s a member of the California highway patrol I believe

pyro8818ak47 that wouldn’t be surprising xd

Might that be the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) Class J 4-8-4 Northern # 611 at the Virginia Museum of Transportation (VMT) in Roanoke, Virginia?

LOL theres no way that a relic as old as this would survive on the highway XDDD.

There's a lot going on but it's not really that bad once you know what to do. I'm fortunate to have a grandfather who collects these, I basically grew up on one.

I hope your commute isn't too far. (I laughed at that.... too funny) It would be different, that's for sure :)

Perfect for LA traffic.

Hey, when I win the lotto, i getting one of these and daily driving it. Just to be weird. I live in farm country too, so tractors are allowed on the highway. TIME TO PISS SOME PEOPLE OFF!

inb4 boiler explosion haha

yeah, imagine getting that thing going on the 405 freeway.

The old steam lorries took about five days to get from Cornwall to London.

I remember them in WW2 also. I worked for a Tarmac laying company in the 1960's. Our Diesel Roller couldn't make it up a very steep hill. Someone knew of a steam Roller that was in regular use, borrowed it,and up the hill she went ---no bother, a perfect job.

I would love to see around christmas time,,a bunch of ORINGAL STEAM POWER TRACTERS fired up,,,and have them in a line using there whistles ,,,whistle out christmas tunes,,,,make a great CD too
