Time of Harvest show at Rough and Tumble today 10-12-19
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 |

First 3 pics are the 485 hp Cooper pumping engine. It displaces close to 45,000 cubic inches of displacement and has over 11,000 lbs of torque.
4th and 5th are the Mann diesel engine. One of the earliest diesels made and it's still running quite well. 6th and 7th are the 40 hp Reeves twin 8th is the Star engine Last two are the williamsport engine. |

Some more steam traction engines.
Notice the youngster running the steam tractor. He's been coming out to Rough and Tumble for about 6 years. This is the first year the family has "set him loose" on the steam tractor and that kid handles that big tractor quite well. ( he took the steam engine school at R&T and knows what to do and what to watch for ) |

Here's Justin putting the Edison generator in his truck to take down to VA. He's going to restore R&T's Edison generator to use with his 1903 Fairbanks Morse engine that he has on display.
next to last is a casting he'll be machining Last pic is his Fairbank Morse |

21-1/2" bore and 36" stroke. It's a four cylinder design that has TWO pistons. Since there is "fire" on both sides of the pistons, cooling is done with water pumped thru the connecting rods, thru the pistons and then dumped out of pipes on each end. The water pump is between the two cylinders and the pipes moving back and forth is seen in the video. In the video, it's running about 60 RPM. Changing the gearbox ( leather belt to the governor) allows engine speeds of either 60, 75, 90, 105 or 120 rpm. It was built in 1913 and was running until the late 1970s at Columbia Gas in Medina OH. We got spare parts for it from another branch of Columbia Gas from their Rockport VA pumping station. They took out three identical Cooper pumping engines in 2015. Out of the twelve cylinders on those three engines, only one cylinder didn't meet current EPA standards. A rebuild would have brought it back into compliance. ( but the Govt was throwing all kinds of money around to "upgrade" to something that will wear out in 12-15 years. ) |
