New Retrol Trailer Gasoline Engine Coming Now-EngineDIY

Are you interested in this new Retrol trailer gasoline engine? It has inspired the imagination of generations of agricultural engine enthusiasts. Let's dive into this marvel together!

Historical Significance of Vintage Diesel Engines

This 1140 horizontal single-cylinder diesel engine, as the first generation product successfully trial-produced by Shandong Laiyang Power Machinery Factory in 1953, is not only an important milestone in China's agricultural mechanization process, but also a microcosm of the industrial technology development of that era. Its technical parameters such as cylinder bore, piston stroke, displacement and horsepower were quite advanced under the conditions at the time, providing strong power support for agricultural production and rural economic development.

Although this diesel engine gradually withdrew from the historical stage in the mid-1970s and was replaced by new diesel engines that were more efficient and environmentally friendly with the advancement of technology and changes in market demand, its role in the early stage of agricultural mechanization in China is irreplaceable. It not only greatly improved agricultural production efficiency and reduced the labor intensity of farmers, but also promoted the prosperity and development of the rural economy.

Today, this diesel engine has become an antique mechanical collection. Its scarcity and historical value make it a very rare diesel engine museum. For scholars and enthusiasts who study the history of China's agricultural mechanization, industrial technology development, and social changes, this diesel engine is undoubtedly a precious physical material.

In addition, the existence of this diesel engine also reminds us that no matter how the times change, those old machines and equipment that have contributed to the development of the country and the nation are worthy of our remembrance and respect. They are not only witnesses of industrial civilization, but also the cornerstone of our continuous progress and innovation.

Retrol and OKMO: Mini Marvels

Fast forward to today, Retrol and OKMO teams have joined forces to bring us a mini marvel: a new, scaled-down version of the classic diesel engine, available in trailer version, along with the wooden base version.

This highly realistic mini gasoline engine, although it looks like a diesel engine, runs on gasoline. At 1:8 scale, it measures 145mm in length, 108mm in width, and 106mm in height, weighing just 1.5 kg with a displacement of 3.6cc.

Crafted with precision, it features a 16mm cylinder bore, new metal piston rings, an upgraded cast iron honed cylinder sleeve, a gear pump, and evaporative water cooling and independent lubrication systems. The crankshaft and connecting rod boast oil passages for better lubrication, mimicking a full-sized engine.

And yes, we couldn't resist – this mini engine also sports two stainless steel flywheels, ensuring greater inertia for lower idle speeds. It even comes with a finely crafted wooden base, with pre-set battery compartments for both versions, blending beauty with functionality.

Tailor Version: The Portable Powerhouse
