Why is it being run with ‘wet’ steam? It’s much better to hold off introducing steam to the motor until working pressure is achieved. Otherwise a very interesting machine. As you say the slide needs adjustment or a Stephenson link added to ease the speed and direction control. Cheers

1:01 I wonder what the purpose of that metal pipe that extends out from the top of the firebox what does it do and does the green train still have that
@lineshaftrestorations7903День тому
The insulated pipe to the left looks to be a steam line to the oil atomizer/heater manifold. Another is for the feedwater injector. Cannot exactly tell in dark video.

@@lineshaftrestorations7903 very interesting I wasn’t quite sure I’m not sure if they still have that I think they re-modified the cab interior

If memory serves correctly I believe I used the same sae 90 straight mineral oil as the main transmission. It is often sold as Ford tractor transmission oil.

No. Realistically you could only get about 12kw from this engine.

What carburetor type is on this pony motor, brand etc, thanks
@lineshaftrestorations790322 дні тому
It's a Zenith TU4C. These or ones very similar are used on John Deere V4 pony motors too.

Of course those engines are super neat, but, what about the GENERATORS??
@lineshaftrestorations790322 дні тому
An insulation test was performed a few years ago that indicated it wasn't up to full 2300v performance. Really disappointed as I'd love to see power generated again.

My engines have a loop on one end of the valve stem that can be slid up or down on the valve cam to make it go one way or the reverse. The fine"timing" can also be adjusted, but I use a slide or "D" valve inside the steam chest, so timing is basically in the hands of whomever built the engine (me). 😂

I always enjoy watching your stuff! We have a 5 hp Ottawa saw, counterweight like this one, waiting its turn, so these videos are helpful. Wood is very dry, but structurally OK. Harbor Fright has a rolling gardening seat, a small cart with 4 largish tires for outside use, with a tractor pan seat on an adjustable post and a tool tray underneath. "Rolling Work Seat with Tool Tray", $69.99. We have one for shade tree engine work, it's a real back saver for us old guys. Needs brakes, rolls too easy, but stable.

Jniperus Virginiana do not have a tap root. Still, with all of the shallow ones, they sometimes just do not want to give up the ground.
@blackstone33234 місяці тому
I have often wondered if you were to use a cement mixer with a bucket of garnet in it as a way of removing rust and paint from small parts. Also what if you put the tank securely into the cement mixer. Would that work.
@lineshaftrestorations79033 місяці тому
It might work if you had a mixer with a plastic drum or perhaps a plastic or rubber lined steel drum.
