I just saw this on Reading, PA CL:

19.5 Turbo Pull, 9 cylinder

I wonder what he was smoking before he posted that?

"Puff puff...." "Dude.... you gonna eat those chips?"

 

[kaptain krunch]

Sounds like a great deal! maybe i can trade him my 85hp pushmower for it? Or my 32 cylinder weed eater.

 

[BOSOX]

I was expecting a Radial aircraft engine.

 

[saskman49]

**** when I saw the heading I was hoping for a nice Wright Cyclone 9 cylinder radial engine.

 

[Glenn M]

My be he has this engine in it. 9 cylinder.

 

[NSBolens]

a nine cylinder tractor would have buckets of torque - you'd probably never have to do anything above an idle!!

 

[modaone]

I'm going to check my lt 1000, I may have miscounted when I looked at the engine.

 

[pylek]

mmm...Wright Cyclone 1820, 1200hp with turbosupercharger...good stuff

try the Duplex Cyclone 3350, 2200hp with two turbosuperchargers...!

 

[KHodges]

The scale radial is great. That's some real machining skill. A 9-cylinder GT would be cool, too. Here's another application:

 

[Protrucker]

It's not 9 cylinders, but I like this one better:

I'll trade my 30 cylinder chainsaw for it!! :ROF
My push mower is 86HP :ROF

 

[DJ in WV]

Maybe he was referring to the 9 "cylinders" of booze that was consumed prior to posting the ad.?.

 

[tweidman]

:trink40: Not only does it have 9 cylinders, but it's "Turbo Pull".
Wow, I wonder how many lbs of boost he's running that turbo pull ? Probably 9? :trink40: :ROF :drunkie: :trink39: :00000060: :bonk: :rauch10:

 

[Brett-JDX748]

I emailed the dude...

This is what I saidude,

Can you send me some photos of the NINE cylinder engine? I'd love to see that beast! It must make a ton of horse power!


His response: You need to contact Rick at 610-683-5223

It's not 9 cylinders, but I like this one better:

That motorcycle is probably THE coolest one I've seen,ever!..that radial engine looks right at home on it..they should build them factory with one!..

Didja know the first VW Beetle prototype engine Ferdinand Porche designed was a radial engine,an air cooled one ??..it didn't fare so well,they kept breaking cranksahfts,according to one book I read they sounded like a rifle shot,as they failed one by one on a test track..he went "back to the drawing board" and came up with the horizontally opposed "flat" 4 layout...his first intention was for the Beetle to be a hybrid,with 4 electric "hubcap"motors,one
on each wheel,powered by a motor/generator powerplant!..guess he was only 70 years ahead of the rest of the world,huh??...

My tractor goes up to 11 cylinders.

Kinda neat for a show piece, but on the practical side, the back cylinders get no cooling air, so the rear cylinders will cook! While their cooking and before they seize up, guess what's happening to your legs. Radial engines are designed to receive the same amount of air around all the cylinders equally. The bike with the full frontal exposed engine would cool properly. It would be an interesting ride, if you could stand the heat. Be a great winter machine.

You put entirely to much thought into how it would run and how cool the cylinders would be etc... A much simpler outlook..... Look at the gas tank... Yeah, enough said! It wouldn't run long enough to get hot, using that gas tank!

The coolest Motorcycle in the world is actually the Dodge Tomahawk because it does run....

Theoretical computer modeled top speed factoring in drag (with rider) = 300 +MPH

Well ... being it has 4 wheels I would call it a REAL narrow car.

I thought the same about the sideway mounted radial. Want to REALY look like a tough guy... put a small prop on that to cool it!!!! THATS being a man!!!!:Stop: :Stop:
