So this is really a Cummins oil engine? That is so cool!

superhogult how do they run so quiet? these should be brought back into production!! VERY COOL MOTOR/ENGINE Old One Legged Joseph T

the first Thermoils had a bad habit of breaking in half.... the Hvid injection system is pretty interesting though... www.coolspringpowermuseum.org/Publications/Flywheel/Flywheel_201210.htm

More info about Cummins and the Hvid... it seems Cummins developed a timing mechanism which is certainly an improvement. www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/the-original-cummins-diesels

superhogult Cool so if you work for Cummins, tell them to stop putting your precision instruments in garbage can bodies! Your engines deserve more than that. Also what do you do for Cummins?

When you use the standard formula to calculate horsepower (Torque x RPM/5252 = Horsepower) and fill in the values we know, we have an equation that looks like this: Torque x 450/5252 = 9. When we multiply both sides by 5252, we're left with Torque x 450 = 47268. Then divide both sides by 450 and we're left with Torque equalling out to 105.04 foot pounds.

I would like to hear its sound when loaded. So many of these engines are just stationary and idle.

RustyCarnahan seems like it would be somewhat more than that with such heavy reciprocating mass.

This is the last running Model U. It's documented by Cummins. Trust me, you've never seen one. You may have see other Cummins oil engines but not a Model U

If he let someone repro it, the the value of his has just gone to shit.

no, they haven't progressed that far.

Joseph Brendel I'm willing to bet if you'd put a load against it, she'd bark at ya pretty good!

KISS - most always works.

Its an electric start setup. I can't remember what he told me the starter and secondary flywheel came from. Been too long ago.

Yo momma is the last of her kind

Usually, humans tend to be unique, so you're right, you're also the last of your kind, and as am I. And soon we will die.

Well he assures you. His is the LAST model U....lol

Yes. Tri State Gas Engine and Tractor Show in Portland Indiana. This was shot in 2011.

+Tom H You can get into a small fairbanks morse for ~300 dollars

Where can i find one because there really cool an i am very interested in buying one

Tom H You can find shows near you and look there. Ebay have some once and a while but they are usually over priced. Engine adds is a good place to look too.

But it doesn't put out 105 ft lbs of torque

brdwonder lol you're joking, right? No stoking a fire constantly or cleaning of ashes, no dangerous high boiler pressure, no having to get the boiler inspected and certified, etc. Just fill it with fuel oil and keep the grease cups/oilers full. I'd call that a huge improvement...

Also a huge efficiency difference. Non compound steamers get about 5% of the heat they burn to do work. That red garage queen probably hits 20% on her worst day. Even with compounding, a flash boiler, and liquid fuel the Stanley steamer just couldn't complete with the crude junk car gas engines of their day when it came to economy, and those gassers were hogs compared to diesels. Don't let the size fool you, that was so they would last forever, not because they had to be that huge. Don't forget, those engines are built to work gear designed for steam power, so they had to make their power at similar speeds, and output similar torque to the same belts as the steamer Cummins wanted you to replace with their product.
