Running BACKWARD! Slack-belt tightener needs to be on slack side of belt. Notice toward the end when he's trying to get the hammer to lift, as the belt tightens it pushes the idler away. not a big deal, but it takes a big load off your leg.
I've seen that before. Only time I'd made it to Vista for the show. Had quite a few good old stationary engines, like a 100hp Holt, couple of Fairbanks-Morse, and a couple of Westerns.
It does appear to be running backwards doesn't it?
