V8 ford flathead dukebox

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

best sounding v-8 flattie i heard had 3 duces on it man they are great motors

[dhorse74]

I like it! I have one very simular to this on youtube search for 1938 ford flathead welder, it looks to be the same unit.

[HawaiianMachinist]

I wanna do this 2 a Miller Big 20...run the Flathead with tri-power with direct linkage...should be able push real hard through all amperage ranges...

Might B overkill...think the flathead can turn a 500 amp or better generator...

[kamkam333331]

[alicethecat]

What is a duke box? What does it do? What is bolted to the rear of the engine?

[Tyneyarder]

I duke box is a device normally found in bars. You put money in it and it plays music. My duke box, you put petrol in it and it also plays music.

The engine is attached to a generator.

@Tyneyarder

Are you referring to a jukebox as a duke box?

[TheRebelman95]

@Tyneyarder you mean a JUKE box?

[fluxu8]

Cool! Hey. What's a dukebox?

[Tyneyarder]

A Dukebox is a machine normally found in bars, which one inserts money and selects music to listen to. My Dukebox, just insert petrol, swing the handle and listen to the music.

[fluxu8]

Oh!  JUKEBOX! Yeah! The flathead is music!!!

[uscar17]

ooooooh yeah baby, one of the best songs ever

[Roelzter]

yeah :)

[pipinhispop]

I can't quite make it out, is that a v8-60? (I so want one!) either way it beauty.

[VikingToker]

I love seeing stuff like this, old motors that would leave most people saying "it'll never run" and then a few cranks and up she goes. :D

[KartMan250]

nice, of course its still running because its a ford

[Wiffrain]

cool engine sir. nice sound, and considering how old it is, very durable
