Haven't had the big Ronny going for six months and I just don't get sick of running it. 1932 ish , 20hp , Ronaldson Brothers and Tippett. Originally saved from scrap by Ray Keys many decades ago and I got it from him.
Ljudi moji ovo je praznik za uši i oči, milina jedna. Prosta mašina ne proizvodi buku, može da radi sve dok traje gorivo. Hvala za video, pozdrav iz Srbije.
I am a big fan of these old magnificent oil engines. Well done indeed for salvaging it. I could watch and listen to it running all day. We used to have one at our farm.
A beautiful old machine, starting that old four burner Primus stove is the treat. Then applying oil to the bearing and cams is giving it the love she needs. Well done mate!
@@dntlssThis is a compression ignition engine. The brass four burner stove preheats the cylinder and when under pressure, the fuel ignites and provides power. The engine just takes over and runs like a clock.😊
Beautiful engine. Thanks for posting. Don't see many big Paraffin engines in England anymore. Used to be one which ran a corn mill near my house 40 years ago. I miss that sound. An old feller driving a a Ford Thames Trader lorry would call by every other week and deliver Paraffin.
I loved the old engines when I was growing up on the farm. Friends and family all had different types including Imperial McDonald, Sundial, Lister, Moffat Virtue, International, Rosebery and Ronaldson Tippett. There was always a challenge on among the boys as to who could start which engine and a real achievement when you were successful. Some of the farm girls were really clued up on their operation as well. What wouldn't I give to still have those faithful old workhorses.
Same here mate. We had a lister which i still have and have a video of it “ Lister like new” or something like that. Im going to sell a few little engines soon, where are you at ?
My father was an engine mechanic.He used to service big engines even of the capacity 200 HP. I remember the old English engines like Lister , O B Blackstone etc.O loved my father working on them.
Amazing piece of history ! When you see this heavy machine pumpin so much brute force you appreciate the skills and craftmanship of our grand grand fathers.
I recall a friend's property in the Brindabella ranges (NSW) had I'm pretty sure exactly this model engine, which I played on as a child (moving the crusty, seizing flywheel by standing on it). No one was sure how it worked, long replaced by another more contemporary stationary engine to run a saw. They thought it was a steam engine! Seeing one actually running in the scenery of Australian bush fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, the four burner lamp is extremely rare and only came with the 20 hp and up engines. I’ve only seen about four or five of them and I’ve got three of those.
That is SO cool! As someone that went to school 40 years ago on compression/ignition engines, it still fascinates me to watch the start-up and run process of these venerable motors. This one kind'a reminds me of the classic war movie 'Guns Of Navarone' when 'Butcher Brown' was trying to start the old boat CI engine and had that old torch on the cylinder head trying to get that combustion chamber hot enough to fire off. Back in the day, sometimes you had to be creative to get some of the older diesels to light off! Nice video!
Hi mate, thank you for the comments. I’ll look that movie up,I have seen it but dont remember the engine you mentioned. This engine is a hot bowl or surface ignition engine . That means you have to pre heat the “ surface “ to start it and then the explosions keep it hot once running.
Schöner Motor. Danke fürs Schreiben. In England gibt es nicht mehr viele große Paraffinmotoren. Vor 40 Jahren betrieb das Unternehmen eine Getreidemühle in der Nähe meines Hauses. Ich vermisse dieses Geräusch. Alle zwei Wochen kam ein alter Kerl mit einem Ford Thames Trader-Lastwagen vorbei und lieferte Paraffin.
Gracias por compartir el funcionamiento y puesta en mi marcha,amo los viejos fierros y motores por su nobleza y resistencia,yo aun tengo funcionando mis viejos Primus de parafina que enciendo en invierno y me traen recuerdos de mi madre preparando la comida con ellos.
I wish I could find an engine like that, it'd be awsome for a generator and I'm sure it'd run happily on waste motor once it got up to running temperature
@@jenkodiesel5768 now that’s a good idea, every mosquito for miles would be trying to get away.. that engine would more than likely run in waste oil too, my generator is a cs lister clone that’s supposed to run on diesel but I’ve been running it on straight waste motor oil for years.. I don’t even use diesel for starting and warm up so it can be a little hard to start in winter but fitting a glow plug and a flywheel and starter motor got it to where it starts easy enough down to about 10c, any lower than that takes a bit of winding it over
Nearest I got to that was running a Lanz Bulldog on a pump. We fueled it with waste sump oil from the local garages and half an acre around it was black.
A long time ago I read about an engine which drove a water pump whose noise caused a shearing strike. I don't remember what type of engine it was but I'm sure it wasn't an oil engine. Ronaldson Bros. & Tippett also made Wisconsin gas engines under licence.
Awesome piece of machinery. I assume you're in Australia? Doesn't look all that different than here in southern Arizona. I hope to travel that way someday.
Yeah, starts pretty easy if you do everything right. There was a few webs but i do run it a lot. I had a bit of an obsession with my big McDonald there for a while but the Austral is my pride and joy.
