Default Invitation only show at Rough and Tumble this past Saturday.
Friday and Saturday was a "closed event" at R&T ( due to crowd limits imposed by the governor )

My Olds started easily and ran perfectly all day

Here's some pics and videos

Top two pics are my 1900"ish" 5-7 hp Olds gas Engine Works hit and miss engine. It still has the original paint.

The fairbanks Morse runs the waterpump which supplies cooling water for the Willock building

My friend Justin just got this 2005 Winnebago at a very good deal.

The 1868 Otto Langen ( third oldest running atmospheric engine in the world and the oldest in the Americas)

The light board was donated and except for the lower two bulbs on the left, they are ALL Edison carbon filament lightbulbs.

The oldest running M.A.N. diesel engine

Here are pictures of the engine Bill made entirely from Blueprints. It's what "would have been " if Schleicher would have made the engine. It was outdated by the invention of the four cycle engine.

They hide the edition you donated since it's in such great condition and it's an early printing with the "obsolete" info.

Thanks again, that was a great donation

I love that Fairbanks

Our county fair always has an area for these old engines and since the virus, the fair was canceled this year.
