Hi, side-seat.
Couldn't find the engine from that 6160 but I did find a couple of other Fairbanks-Morse engines running. Here are the links, including to an opposed piston engine which I didn't know they had gotten into.

sadly i never took video of the big mirrlees k series that i worked on starting up. very similar to that fairbanks morse as they too where used for power station work.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

If I had a Cat I could drive when I was a kid, I would have thought I had died and gone to Heaven!!!!

Hi, Folks.
To resurrect an old thread with a new video from way back when, changing to farming with tractors in Idaho in the 1930s-40s

Enjoy.

Just my 0.02.

Hi, ROME K/G.
Man, yer gotta git yer comparisons correct - "Slower than COLD molasses."

But I suspect that you might be right. Those old combines didn't have the throughput capability that the modern ones have.
