Last show of the year today. Plenty of stuff happening and managed to get some pics and a few videos.
Since I volunteer at Rough and Tumble and explain the 1913 Cooper pumping engine, I can get a lot closer to the moving parts than the visitors. I held the camera a lot closer to moving parts than I would ever put my head.
Also got video of a 1-1/2 hp New Holland hit and miss engine. One of the selling features of this engine was a "freeze proof" water hopper. The taper would allow the ice to expand up instead of out which would break the cooling hopper.
I just missed this Rumley Oil Pull tractor being started but got the warm up and it driving off
1st pic are three hot air water pumping engines. The middle and right are running. We only run the big one when it's cool out as it throws off a ton of heat. It also takes three good sized folks to get it turned over to run.
2nd pic is the hot air engines and Roger's 1893 17 HP Otto engine
3rd is my 1900ish Olds engine
4th is the oldest running atmospheric engine in the Americas and 3rd oldest in the world. It's an Otto and Langen built in 1867/68 Behind it is a Crossley based on Otto's patent
5th 40 hp Fairbanks Morse
6th 125 hp Miller
7th Klein oil field engine
8th Fairbanks Morse vertical & 1-1/2 hp New Holland
9th Fairbanks Morse
10th 1-1/2 hp New Holland
