How To Fire Up a Steam Powered Tractor | Start to Finish [HD] 

I think it's cool to

Aircraft Carriers & Submarines run on steam! But, of course, the heat from a nuclear reactor is what boils the water!!

Thanks for the great comment!

I wonder if the manufacturer provided operators manuals back then!!

Ni mo mo mo mo mo ko NY no​@@FarmAlarm

You should attend Midwest Old Threshers "Steam School". You'll learn a lot and it's a fun weekend. Call them. Oh, and thanks for watching!

That is awesome. Good memories

Thanks so much! Do you attend any steam engine shows?

Thanks so much. The pin striping was a fun project

The Forward Visibility is horrible!!😜 Still...an amazing Machine!!

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The pin striping was very satisfying to paint by hand!

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Jeff.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you learned 😃. Next time you go to a Steam show, ask someone if you can help.

Thanks Bill. It's listed on Aumann's Pre 30 auction

Thank you for watching 😃

Awesome! Thank you for the comment.

Интересно смотреть. А сколько км он проедет на одной заправке?

Thanks, pin striping it by hand was fun. I'm glad you caught the humor. 😆

Hi

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed watching as much as we enjoyed filming the process 😀

@@FarmAlarm merci infiniment.

Thanks John. I couldn't even imagine. It was a job just getting going, let alone doing actual real work lol. They had tanks and water wagons. But they also pulled water from lakes and ponds. The boilers would get muddy in the bottom.

That my be true?

Thanks friend

Glad you enjoyed it

You can still download a service manual for this tractor that explains all the features and how to safely operate a steam tractor. 100 years ago, they still needed technical manuals.

Thanks

Traction engines are actually pretty inefficient with regards to water usage, by comparison to stationary or marine plants of the same era. Efficiency was traded for ease of use and repair, and also the environment in which they operated necessitated some trade offs. "Range" per gallon of water is all dependent upon how hard you're working then engine, but some general ideas for usage: A 75HP Case w/ the optional contractors bunkers has about 260 gallons of water storage (over what's already in the boiler). Working the engine steadily on a sawmill I'd expect to go through that in an hour or so? Lubrication wise, you'd go through a tube a day if stationary, and probably two if ploughing. Worth noting that these would all be hand grease cups, so not grease guns, but you get the idea. Steam Cylinder Oil is readily available from a few companies still.

😆

Thanks for watching Gabriel

Yes this machine has a differential axle

I have several blackberry videos. Which exact one did you watch? Asking because I have others that will explain your question.

It's definitely a fun thing to learn. If you go to any Steam Engine Show, be sure to stop and talk to any engineer.

Plot twist, the police have the same type of tractor as their police car. Then I still outrun them!

Thank you!

What timestamp in the video?

@@FarmAlarm @ 13:38

Water purge through the prv perhaps? Most likely till saturated steam was to the prv?

How long did it take if you know?

Yes it is

@@FarmAlarm How come you decided to sell it? It looks like you both were having a ball!

We were definitely having fun. I have too many tractors and too many projects. So time to start selling.

Wow

Coal is expensive Dumbass And beside this is in the US not the UK wood burning engines is common

Hey thanks. I think the pin striping really set it off 😃 I have some toy steam engines too. A few that you mentioned. I always enjoyed rc cars a a kid. I bet rc planes are a blast. I've been flying drones for about 6 years. I enjoy my dji drone. But I learned on cheap non-gps drones, and they were fun, because you Actually had to fly that! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Yes Have several 100 MPH + Foam elec planes. Drones are The Thing now.. Full scale Steamers as yourself are recording our beginnings after horses. Keep Going with Steam videos. Regards Captain John

Or it might even cause one

Chain steering is the technology they has in 1900

Wood fired

Sure. Of? I'm taking requests 😁

@@FarmAlarm maybe some more pulling videos
