    . . . I hope a hunnert years from now they’ll look back upon us with at least some of the respect we have for the folks who built and/or? used these robust machines- Those folks hard work made America. . . . . . .

    It’s funny that they need a modern? engine to start it.

    Impressive beast! I bet there’s no mud stuck under the truck cab now . . .

    I like the elegant solution of the Honda and the? rubber roller – so simple and so effective.

    @steamwally
    Thanks for your interesting reply. Yes I could have done a bit more research and included that. Looks like the Honda replaced the compressor. I understand this? monster pumped the water for the town of Forbes in central western NSW Australia. It was on display at the Wellington (NSW) Vintage Fair and Swap Meet in 2009.

    is? it a time-machine?

  13. steamwally says:

    Great video!

    These large Ruston Hornsby diesels (HR series) were great engines and usualy air started. You don’t see many on the rallyfield as they can weigh up to and? beyond 10 tonnes!

    Thanks for sharing.
