    Love to see old equipment and people who know how to use it. But exposed pulleys and loose head scarfs don't mix.

    Love the confidence of a man who knows how things work Excellent job

    One thing I love about these old engines is their simplicity and durability . This engine was running before many of us were born and will continue long after we are but a memory .
  • @bolderiks
    Consumption of the machine is about 1 bucket of petrol per day, 4 turbans per week and 12 man per year.
  • Now that's old school. Loved the OSHA-compliant protocol of putting your foot on the flywheel. Eek!
  • @donaldhiggs2075
    When I seen ol boy pull his foot on that flywheel and start pushing down, i knew right away this was not an OSHA approved video.

    These old marvels all sing a song of their own. I can listen to that all day.
  • Respect for the dude who starts the fire, can tell just by how he moves, he takes pride in whatever he does and isn’t afraid to work or help out!

    At one point I couldn't stop worrying about the loose clothing hazard. Amazing mechanical usage.
  • @martinswiney2192
    Kick start, crank start and pull start all in one. What an incredible labor saving device. Plus a belt drive with a throw clutch. 👍

    This is the correct division of labor: one person works and his three friends check whether he is doing everything correctly. 🤔🤗
  • I know that most people reading this will nit believe this but in 1988 , in chester , England, I drove a FODEN , ..every morning in the winter months , to get it started I needed to spray petrol on to rolled up newspaper , light it , and stuff it in to the engine intake funnel , ( it was a diesel engine ) and the engine started , I worked for a man named Bill Powell, at E.S.Powell , a nice guy ,

    Pleasure to watch a skilled operator.I love those machines, built to last forever.
  • @timstradling7764
    Proper “old school” engineering, probably been there for over 100years. I don’t think I’d be wanting to wear a scarf with so many pulley wheels and belts around, but fair play to the operator, he certainly has a well worked out and executed system with attention to detail eg. Cleaning spilt oil etc
  • @ferd.6779
    Well that man knows his machine excellent!👋
  • @majicmancoo
    amazing technology. still runs beautiful. those were really "built to last"
