ANTIQUE Hit Miss Engine RECOVERY? RESCUE? RESURRECTION? 

you are very fortunate to be able to work along side of your father

What a thing of beauty, love listening to the sound of these oil girls.

You are amaizing how you look at an engine and figure out right away what the problem is and fix it.....Just a little spring and she's up and running!

I had a 6hp Alamo built in 1919 for several years. Loved to hear it run!

Great job. Thank you 😊

Love these old engines. Will be interesting to see more of the steam engine.

Beautiful engine, nice restoration 👍

Very cool! I really like those big Witte engines! Can't wait to see the video of the show!

I did wonder why you didn’t want it all freshly painted and shiny, but I get it now, looks awesome!

Thats a cool shop. I could spend a weekend just looking at all that stuff

Now that's a beautiful bit of kit

By the air charge being sucked in you can tell that old girl has great exhaust sound. Usually the big gulps have big bangs!

Another great video, thanks!

These hit-n-miss engines were still in use in Wyoming's oil fields running pump jacks into the 1980's. They ran on well gas.

I will see you at the show.

Very observant to spot the slope was affecting the governor holding the exhaust open. Excellent, job getting the Witte out of the workshop. Interesting to see the steam engine work underway. Do your USA regulations mean that you will have to have a boiler test? great video.

Your the man! Another great video!

Apart ftom your wonderful video i was also admireing that lovely clonking from your car !! Met me guess CV joint or differential on its last legs lol 😆

amazing engineering from back before my time. but love it

They all have their own personalities don’t they ? LOL ! Nice engine, thanks for showing it .

Absolutely beautiful!

That thing is so so sweet!

Hey there. Just found your channel. Very cool. A bit of a mystery to me yet. Question: could one of these engines run a generator for a light duty power source to supply a house?

same problem on my Stover Hit & Miss Thanks :)

So, let me get this straight: If i want my children to help me clean my workshop i have to bury some nice hardware in the far corner. Got it :-)

lol .. one way to get the shop clean and organized

I had a Nova engine that was a small vertical cylinder until my stepdad had a clean-out of our shop and he sold it on me I think it was about 5 hp or less it used to run excellently it was a hit-and-miss

Bonjour Toujours de belles vidéos et de beaux moteurs 👍

Once the engine is really warm you can switch to kerosene as kero has another ignition-temp compared to gasoline. Nice video. Really liked it.

Nice thanks

Your Dad's shop looks like mine!! Too much stuff and not enough Shop!! lol

A front end alignment would be good.

Kansas City, MO?!? I wonder where they were located

A SOHIO gas station sign! How I wish they were back!

This are the learning things for me ........a littel spring was the problem 😂. I learn a lot from your video's thank you. Greetings from the Netherlands

I am always shocked at how quiet these are compared to modern engines

The fact that your pallet Jack matches your "Japanese Horse"...

Man that's a shame having a nice car lift you can't use

slowly but surely

NICE ENGINE

Are you allowed to have a riveted boiler on the traction engine ? Some authorities insist on welded boilers now .

I thought heated seats were a new invention.

Almost like these have a colds, they keep sneezing.

I've had several witte engines over the years. At 1 time I had 127 engines

Mycket jobb! Hade det inte varit mindre jobb att skruva bort axlarna på motorn å dra ut den med två pallyftare?

Nice engine, what farm show was it at?

One reason I would never buy a lift where lines and cables go across the floor it's ALWAYS in the way!!

I'm so jealous of your dad's shop I can shit myself. In fact, I think I did because my wife just gave me a look of questionably apprehension and disgust.

Just wandering what you use for the oil on the bearings i have an engine with the the same set-up

lol...i have a big joe forklift too

When your starting it r u pushing the exhaust valve down slightly to get rid of some of compression? We have a 4 ho and that old girl has a ton of compression i can barley turn it over any suggestions?

the witte engine runs good 😊😊 U should paint the engine it would look alot better the paint color is dark green close 2 forest green there should be a paint no 4 it U will have 2 see U don't see many of those engines head type or headless I did see 1 many years ago I have no idea 💡😊 where that engine was from another fellow see the engine long and got at a show it ran very good 😊😊 OMG 11 3O 2O23

do you find all your engines on auction? is facebook marketplace a decent place to find stuff like this?

I'd like to see at least one video on the Steam Engine.

I have one major question. When under a load, will these hit/miss engines maintain a constant RPM?

wouldn't the steam from the hopper steam your rear-end if you sat on that seat ?🤣

We found an old engine exactly like this one out in the woods near our house which used to be a very old farm. My father brought it up to the house to tinker with it and called it a: "one-lunger." This was over 60 years ago, so it wasn't old enough to be considered an "antique," but old enough to not be worth the effort to fix it up and running. It sat out behind the house until I left for college in 1971. What happened to it after that, I don't know, but it's great to see what it might have looked like in a rescued condition. Thanks!

She does have a bark.

What year is it

You're the one that put the camera there! 🙄

In order to get this out you need to be smarter than the person who designed it. COME ON MAN! THIS IS THE 20TH CENTURY!! Take the wheel off and use a roll jack to maneuver the thing!!!

Hit and miss...only at idle.

what dynosaurs....!

Carhartt has gone woke btw

RU-vid is blocking me for using an adblocker. Having all videos interrupted 2-3 times and not wishing to meet Ukranian women nor shop at Walmart is far too annoying. So I'll be unsubscribing to the 30-some channels I follow and finding other entertainment. Best of luck with your channel; I really enjoyed it.
