This throttle governed-- not hit and miss --was built in 1923 by International Harvester and restoring this 6 HP (horsepower) McCormick-Deering was a great deal of fun! I'm in the process of completely tearing the engine down and totally rebuilding it. This is my first old engine restoration project so come on along!

Great video, Jay--really enjoyed learning about something I never even knew existed! of course, totally loving Outlaw Jack's machine shop-- a bit of heaven, for sure....

So many piston rings! No wonder it has good compression. Nice job.

Could you share which cotton gin the engine came from , my relatives owned several gins out in west Texas. around Miles, Rowena etc. I am fascinated by these engines, fuel savers before most people even thought of it. The design so it could be repaired indefinitely is intriguing while today we live in a throw a way world. I appreciate videos like yours. Curtis P.S. used to farm cotton the roots are still there, my family was very mechanical.

Like I said in the video I was "told" that the fellow Mike Sullivan bought it from "told" him it came from a cotton gin in "West Texas." I grew up in the Panhandle and never saw an engine this small running a cotton gin! Maybe it was used for other purposes but certainly not the prime mover.

That was a long time coming, and I was well rewarded with another superb video. Nice nice work Jay! Quick question, the Babbitt bearings are those poured out of lead? I'll send you a video about a 4-cylinder engine that got rebuilt that had lead bearings in it that need to be repoured. I thought it was very interesting.

@Radiotexas Жыл бұрын

They are poured in babbitt metal, hence the name. Alloys of lead and of tin. There are people who cast new ones.

I rather thought the engine looked in good condition before the work began, compared to some of the sad looking engines I've seen. At least this one has fallen into safe hands, and as the rally season moves on, I'll be watching this series. Your engine was built three years before my dad was born! We lost him just over fifteen years ago. Such a pity we can't restore people in a similar fashion. Do you have plans for the engine once it's restored? A piece of machinery to partner it up to?

If anyone is interested, I'm immediately available for restoration.

I've been watching some of your videos lately and finding them very educational. with your inherited attention to detail I think you may enjoy a video channel called squatch253. The channel is mostly him restoring old D2 caterpillars
