  • Yep they are all mine!

  • That thing with the rotating blades with the flip open lid - is that for shucking corn or what? What is it called? I have seen them at hit and miss engine shows before but I never found out. Nice engine by the way. I love old hit and miss gas engines. I grew up around them in the oil patch and my grandfolks who owned a few of these engine with their "old timey" ways.

  • It's a silage or fodder chopper I have heard them called both. It's made to chop the corn when it is still green.

  • Are those WaterLoo Boys on the trailer?

  • There is one WaterLoo on the trailer it's a 2hp, there also is a 1 1/2 JD E, and the other is a 1 1/2 Economy. Off the trailer is an 3hp IH M and an 1889 10hp Advance steam engine.

  • Are there any blue prints of hit and miss engines floating around? I am interested in trying to machine one

  • Is that your backhoe of tractor in the backround

  • Fantastic engine with woderful sound!

  • Does anyone know what the fuel consumption is for a smaller hit miss motor? Say under 10 horsepower?

  • do you live in northern california? fort jones area?

  • Fab !

  • I suppose when there is a lot of load on it, it automatically changes to make more "hits" to keep power up right?

  • cool how the spokes sync up with the camera frames per second

  • Thats the key to improving fuel economy right there boys! Technology has been under our noses for a hundred years. one fire every 7 strokes! haha great vid btw
