My best friend growing up's stepfather was huge into old hit-n-miss engines he had probably over 150 of them in all sorts of HP ratings. The largest one he had was an International but it was as big as a car.

Listening to some of those old engines run at idle, they sound like they are turning at 50 rpm.

Your buddy sounds (& acts) like my late uncle!
He had a 'Cat House' with about 200 old Caterpillar crawlers & various antique tractors.
Thanks for sharing!

Great collection. Right up my alley. We have quite a few IH trucks, tractors and dozers. Keeping a collection running is the hard part.
Thanks Roger!

Thanks for the tour. I will be watching the vids later. I have always been a old tractor fan. Good thing I don't live outside of town. I would have a shed full.

How bout the one early on that looked like it had small block chevy exhaust manifolds? Also, what engine was in the one that needed to be push started?

I believe it has the same engine. I can verify that shortly.
