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.

1941 Cat D2 Pushing Down Trees Spring 2023

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 ...

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...

    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.

      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.

    @andysutton6436 Před měsícem

    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

    • @lineshaftrestorations7903
      @lineshaftrestorations7903 Před měsícem

      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.

    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). 😂
