Oil City Boiler Works Hit and Miss Tractor Portland 2007

[Mjarf88]

Why are the front wheels so close together?

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

@Mjarf88, you never saw the tractors with 2 front wheels close together before? international farmalls, allis chalmbers, john deeres tractors has them,

[Mjarf88]

@SpiritsoftheWolf Well, i don't think they were common here in norway. I'm just curious about why they built them that way, doesn't seem too stable.

[produKtNZ]

Walking is faster and less wasteful

[HEHE575]

@produKtNZ if you think you can, pull a plow behind yourself and still keep up

[TheJcreg]

Yep!! Reckon you could plow an acre or two with that motherscratcher!!

[noslack1964]

it needs a new warp core ;-)

[mista123420]

lol... i was waitin for the song '' were not gonna take it '' to start.. :))

[Kyocera234]

sounds like a marching band.

[cfazekas0441]

Ive never seen a tractor that long

[Baldwin587]

My dad owned ane engine just like that! but i think it was a solth penn cross breed

[toadabc]

One hell of a power stroke on that tractor!

[future2501]

Wouldn't walking be faster?



[snowyphil65]

@future2501 you gonna pull a plow without a tractor or a horse?

[gunny556fly]

lol wow i give it an A and i put that A into the word Awsome!

[impavitus]

needs a seet with some supention.

[jsmitty1974]

@impavitus And you need a spell checker!

[impavitus]

@jsmitty1974 Yes Sir!!! lol

[corazzinipaul]

looks bumpy

[douro20]

Does it run on propane?

[swss12]

what a rough ride.. hhah but its still sick

[Hollrobb]

I like the beat.

[baileytom78]

@Hollrobb thats what i was thinking it would be a nice back ground effects on a sound track.

[johneastmond]

Now that's a smart tractor! I'd be honored to run it.

[mustie1]

sounds like its singing the song my sherona by the knack

[TARBABY71]

@mustie1 and the guy looks like he's bopping along with it lol

[NomaDairy]

that is a beast 5 stars

[TheLincolnGuy]

lol kool

[pbgd3]

Guess its easier than having to move that engine around on a wagon.

Funny how they fed the tractor through its belt drive then back to the transmission. Does the clutch then work or not? On many early tractors you'd just keep moving along until you bumped the PTO lever out. As the outer belt drum turns it would turn the transmission regardless.

[beckersway]

i like that.

[19mg94]

is that a wc

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Can this thing even pull a plow? Does it got torque? Lol

[ElijahWheeler]

you must be joking.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Um no, legitimate question...

[chrisscustoms]

Hey, I live in Oil City!

[woodman1241]

pretty damn kool man lol nuthin like a deere tho

[FMF666]

[FMF666]

[transammike]

I guess safety was not a concern when they made these! lol

[Nza420]

People were just more safety conscious back in the day.

[mikes47jeep]

@Nza420 i think they just wernt as sue happy

[midgetcogger]

very nice must have been cool to see it

[sludgeguy65]

It is an Oil City Boiler Works engine withan AC Thomas conversion oilfield engine from 1870 or 71. It is mounted on a WC Allis Chalmers tractor frame. It runs on propane. That is top speed.

[ajb221]

that engine has a nice beat!

[ACD19farmboy]

thats a wc allis chalmers!!

[Slane583]

That thing is cool, and sounds cool. But it kind of sounds like the old air compressor my grandfather has in his basement. Except his isn't nearly as big and it has no big tires on it. Hehehe.

[chevymotors]

Its an allis wd

[oldbuckshot]

Are ya sure? Looks more like an unstyled WC to me.

[coyotestalking]

Could I get some info on this beast?

[rwickmannp11]

Yuo should bore and stroke it, twin turbos, run some nitrus, chrome stack, and then pull it!!! lol just kidding, nice video

[nathanvermillion]

its an [allis chalmers] stretch limo

[ullklutt]

Is that the top speed? If not, I'm not going to buy it :)

[Ricmcspeedy987]

chug chug kapiss chug chug LOL

[finalfantasyXyuna]

pretty sweet beat!

[Jbmeth007]

I'd like to know the quarter mile et is on this bad boy.

[lazzer408]

Do a burnout!

[doggybag77]

hahahahahahahahaha good one

[wgrenning]

Oh yea, it bounces !! at idle is rolls back and fourth several inches for each each revolution

[tpvalley]

it looks like a 2 stroke but fires like a 4 stroke.

What is it?

[theenginekid]

is it just me or is the tractor bouncing from all the firing impulses?
