Default a cool old large engine

as lovers of all things diesel i hope you enjoy this video

this is a chicago pneumatic inline 8 cyl running at 300 rpm. not too sure about the bore and stroke bore is around 14" and stroke is 18" i think. The fuel system is individual unit injector pumps with a gear rack system like a two stroke detroit. It utilizes a woodward hydraulic governor. as it is a generator and needs exact rpm control with the varying load, it is a direct air start engine with the center pushrod that is not moving to allow the high pressure air to start. The engine weighs 50 tons and is pretty neat to stand next to, its located in new centerville pa and is started and ran for the farmers trenchermen's jubilee. They have truck pulls the last day of the festival and some pretty bombed up diesels show up too
