Registrace 27. 11. 2016
Paying homage to the iron wheel & leather belt. I was nine when I was bitten by the old machinery bug at the Oklahoma State Fair. I received my first steam engine the same year. I have tried to learn as much as possible of how, by who and where the old stuff came from. It is in my blood. A grandfather was a mill-wright building sawmills in Oregon & California. My dad a navy EM2 during WW2. I've worked in technology 35+ years.
The steam engines, boilers & other machinery seen in my videos that I own, are available for motion picture work. These easily represent the 1860s-1940s time period.
Limited contract machinery restoration is available. I generally repair a machine before "restoring" it, never better than original.
Located in suburban Dallas, Texas but efforts are in work to have a more rural base.
Email for more information.

1905 Morris Machine Works 4" Dredging Pump Returned to Operation
A 2015 estate sale find, this circa 1905 Morris Machine Works 4" Sand & Gravel Dredging pump needed custom pipe flanges fabricated to connect to on hand standard 3-1/2" and 4" pipe fittings. The bearings only needed fresh grease and the shaft some additional packing. The restoration was remarkably easy and completely successful. This effort culminated in its public debut at the May 2024 Oklahoma Steam Threshers & Gas Engine Show at Pawnee, Oklahoma.

Ottawa TR Drag Saw Restoration Part 2. continued with removing the piston, freeing the piston rings. The cylinder bore was cleaned and lightly honed then the piston reinstalled.

A suitable driveway along the edge of my pasture areas requires clearing impeading trees. The first group of Juniperous Virginiana trees slated for removal in 2023 were delimbed in January. Anticipating a quick removal, a lack of rainfall and inadequate soil moisture stopped the process. Additionally, pasture restoration took priority when rain was available. Fast forward to the last two days o...

1941 Cat D2 Pushing Down Trees Spring 2023
zhlédnutí 630Před 7 měsíci
When a Jniperus Virginiana tree is less than 8" in diameter at the base and soft moist soil is present, my 1941 Caterpillar D2 is capable of pushing the tree down. The maximum blade elevation is less than 24" so there isn't much leverage available. No matter, it's enough on the smaller trees. (Sometimes it thinks it's an RD6) This video is partly inspired from comments in previous tree removal ...

Subject to correction, this is the story as told by the current owner: This Frick 1921 8-1/2 X 10 traction engine was built in 1921 with all then available options. Frick kept it at their Waynesboro, Pennsylvania factory and never sold it. Frick finally decided to release it sometime in the early 1970s when it was acquired by long time Frick employee John Palmer for its 1921 price of $1600. Exh...

She's hauling it!!! Go 819, go!!!
this was fun to watch, i love steam engines
Great video about a great find! Thanks for showing the process and workarounds. I am working on a couple old water pumps and an air pump to run with hit+miss engines, but there's something special about a pump that puts out that volume of water. The rare 4 Hp Mogul is a big part of the display.
Wish i was your neighbor sir..
Awesome and great Technology built On that time wow
Дольше краны крутил чем мотор
Good show! And I finally got to hear a hit or miss engine running under a proper load!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
I worked ar Ridgid for a bit and never saw a geared head threader being used. Were the chasers on the Toledo still sharp?
The 3" set that it came with the threader were incredibly stuck, rusted in. Once out, the 3-1/2" set was put in. Initially they wouldn't all cut evenly. Through some experimentation I found how to grind them so they would all work.
now all you need is some little honey in the tub for a jacuzzi Watch your viewers soar! In all honesty, you did a great job to be proud of! thanks for your hard work and accomplishment! don't pay any attention to nut jobs like me
Running the engine cooling water into the tank was discussed. The bet was if someone were to crawl in they had to be able to get out unassisted. 😉
Да, это была революция.
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
The steam used here is saturated as opposed to superheated. It has entrained moisture and its temperature corresponds directly to its pressure. The engine is cold and condenses a good amount of steam until it is hot enough to stop. This is an evaluation test and all characteristics are being observed.
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
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
I aked about the oil and you replied quickly.. l really can't tell you how much this help me .. again thank you!
No era más fácil empujarlo con la cuchilla????
hey great video!... l got heaps out of it so thanks... but could you tell me what oil you put back in it ?..
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.
I currently have the No. 00 4hp version of this engine.
Paddle faster I hear Banjo Music,,,, very cool video
Can this power a 150Kva Alternator?
No. Realistically you could only get about 12kw from this engine.
Do not look at it
Thank you very much for the video
Can I buy one of these?
The Sun is a Star.
Time
the memories watching tracks ahead hearing her old voice in the beginning
What carburetor type is on this pony motor, brand etc, thanks
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??
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.
That's awesome but yes water is infinate wood isn't. What can be burn't that is infinate and found everywhere like at home on a bushy property that's not wood?
BRO BECAME SOUTHERN PACIFIC 4449 AS MY PROFILE IS A AC-12 SP STEAM LOCOMOTIVES 😂💀
Good ❤❤❤
Very interesting workings of "automatic" grease fitting. 👍
Amazing to think that all of industry, mining, farming, power generation and both land and sea transportation relied on this type of power for many years. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thats a true classic steam engine, well done.👍
Wow what an adventure! Congratulations on finally getting the boiler back. That boiler resembles the PM Research model horizontal boiler kit.👍
Looks like you have a great boiler now. I'm looking forward to seeing it put to work.
Wild how many people think the roads are their personal drag strip.
Man you face a storm and get trashed by scum, people suck.
I hope Southern Pacific 786 will be returning to operation soon.
Not sure if their CZcams channel is new but its new to me which should keep interest in their operation.
That's a Zhong's whistle
❤❤❤❤❤❤
May mabili pa kaya mito ngayon?
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 recently was blessed to buy a Frick portable and plan on rebuilding and running and showing it.
America was known for top quality items . The whole world wanted America made.now we don't make our own items .Sad😢
4:32 - gotta remember that!
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.
Total neglect. Poor old engine needs a coat of paint and some tender loving care.
Run it in the travel direction going away from your controls... much safer should your fly wheel ever have its own plans.
New wood next?
I've got some nice Cypress ready to cut . It will take cooperating weather to do it since it will have to be done outside.
