But this, I have never seen. Using compressed air to run in an engine.

I'd love to have that thing.
My 1940 9n is 70 years old this year!
I was shocked when I did the math. I'm gonna have to push some snow around with it tomorrow. Use it all the time. Doesn't knock like a bastard at start up anymore and the oil pressure is much better now that I installed some fat rod shells [replaced the old ones that someone had installed shims in back of]. A 70 year old work horse and looks every day of it. Gonna restore it someday. Heard that before.

I have heard of compressed air engines, but it looks like the air is supplied by something outside, so what is the advantage??
funny thing is, I used a 5 gallon air tank for a sump under my vette gas tank, it's a bolt in setup...:clap:
