Went to the local tractor show today in Roseboom NY. A fellow who always has a really neet display of all things related to the timber industry and wood working tools of yesteryear, brought in this Chicago-Pneumatic 8-1/4"X14" Diesel one lunger. pretty interesting, how it was started. There was a port on the head portion of the combustion area where a gas fired torch was inserted, and preheated the combustion chamber. This process took about 15 min. with a butane torch. Originally, two guys with bars that released from the flywheels would then spin it over with the compression release open, and then when the release was closed it woild fire and run. Today they belted it to a JD 730 LP tractor, and it was on it's knees to keep it spinning so it would start. The exaust pipe comes out of the bottom of the cylinder with 6" pipe and the old girl breaths fire out of it when running. They had it chained to the trailer on the makeshift Ash skids, but the 6"x6" cribbing under the trailer would not stay in place. It had to been an awsome engine when it was new. Loren, the Acg.
