Powered by a 2hp Alamo "idling" along at a pretty slow speed. I could measure my pulleys in a bit - I certainly would not run it faster than I was doing. Toughest part was keeping the belt from slipping on the uneven ground there alignment wasn't easy but once going, it worked quite well and got a number of remarks. Yours looks like it's a step up in size from the one I powered with the engine - looks closer in size to my 14" saw which is the same make/brand and all, just the next model up. It's powered with an electric motor about the size of a washing machine motor.

The difference here is that he touched the lives of millions of viewers and he stood up for the animal kingdom and tried to share that with his audience. No matter what kind of man he was he was and still is very important to God and I know today he is in a better place even though he will be truly missed by his family, friends and fans. Yes a lot of people have lost the meaning of something special but not me. I cared for my wife for years before her death and there were times I just did not think I'd make it through another day seeing her suffer as she did. But with all the pain and heartache, she was and will always be special to me for what she taught me about strength and caring for one another.

I agree that the guy is out there way past normality. He did things that make us Aussies feel that his days were numbered. Mind you not this way. If you told me he died from a snake bite or the like I would say "Well what did you expect" None the less this guy has done wonders for Australian tourism. He has made many of the un-educated more aware of the need to respect wildlife along the greatly populated east cost. He also employed 500 locals in his local community. He rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous but never lost focus on who he was and his cause. I'm not much of a greenie I tell you that. But he was one of a kind and all done for the better good. Even if his ways were different to what a not so ex centric crock hunter may be. His got my respect for what he has done for awareness to wildlife etc. Doesn't mean I would have had him around for dinner. Just paying credit where credit is due.

Having said that, I logged on to your page and it does seem to load quite a bit quicker than the old system so as far as I'm concerned it is an improvement. P.S. 20 minutes after writing the above. Oops - Drastic change of mind - the thumbnails load quite quickly but I use "Firefox" and open the linked larger pics in "new tabs" - with a slow connection they all seem to "timeout" - the adverts load O.K. but the pics I want to see just "timeout" and I've got to click the reload button for each of them . I get a page showing a large blank "place holder' for the pic and a bunch of adverts "Cnet has launched in Britain" features very prominently. Obviously their coding forces the adverts to load first. I do not like pages like this. This is probably O.K. for all you guys with Broadband or fast connections but does not work for me! I also realize that it is just my own problem that I live in a country that is going backwards fast and Internet connections are not up to par with the rest of the world - but you asked for opinions. How many of you guys out there on the SEL have the same problem as me - connection speeds not up to standard ?? The above is the reason why I love "oldengine.org" - no top heavy scripting - no adverts - no bulldust - just engine stuff. Thanks very much Jim you are doing us all a service that we probably can never thank you enough for. Dave, thanks for your very interesting pages - I do look at them often because you have things up there that I want to see (and am prepared to wait) but I think that the "casual browser" may not be as patient.

It is not for all though, and a lot of folk don't want the hassle of learning HTML, which is why Webshots and others are so popular.

The resistor will get hot. One should work for both coils because only one coil can fire at a time. Leaving the switch on with the engine stopped will allow a dead draw across the resistor if the points are closed, with twelve cylinders this is quite likely. Some vehicles had a bypass wire to supply battery voltage to the coil while cranking, the starter pulls voltage down, this compensates. J.B.

Your prayers, calls, donations and thoughtfulness are really appreciated. Bob was very impressed by your caring and kindness. We will be moving Bob to Parkwood Hospital on Thursday afternoon, this is a hospital that specializes in nothing but brain therapy. I thank god that he WAS wearing his helmet (it is law in Ontario) if he wasn't he would not be with us still. Bob has a long way to go for recovery and we take it one day at a time. He is walking better now although his legs are weak and a bit stiff. He walks everyday a few times around the hospital.

Should be one per coil and it should not run red hot! The coils can be replaced by modern 12V types (the existing ones are probably rated for 9V or even 6V) and the resistors discarded. When the engine is stopped and the points closed you will feed current continuously through the coils and resistor.

Function is to reduce current flowing through coil during normal operations. The coil won't handle the full 12v full-time. Yes, they can get VERY hot, thus the ceramic, however, I wonder about one resister taking care of two coils. Sounds like a bit much load. Mopar used ceramic resisters, as did certain other companies. My Javelin had a grp 19 Mallary coil and it required such a ballast resister and came as part of the kit. Otherwise, the stock ignition used a resistance wire made into the wiring harness. Personally, I'd have one resister per coil - they will run way too hot to touch, but sounds like a lot of current going through that one with two coils.

So, perhaps one resister COULD run two coils - I bet the thing wouldn't run so hot then while running. They DO get hot normally, that's why they are ceramic and typically mounted "in the clear".

I think it is worth repetition. 8^) Read the Instructions! A friend of mine once built a canoe. He spent a long time on it and it was a work of art. Almost the final phase was to fill both ends with polyurethane expanding foam. He duly ordered the bits from Mr Glasplies (an excellent purveyor of all things fibreglass) and it arrived in two packs covered with appropriately dire warnings about expansion ratios and some very good notes on how to use it. Unfortunately he had a degree, worse still two of them. One was in Chemistry, so the instructions got thrown away and the other in something mathematical because in a few minutes he was merrily calculating the volume of his craft to many decimal places and the guidelines got binned as well. He propped the canoe up on one end, got a huge tin, carefully measured the calculated amounts of glop, mixed them and quickly poured the mixture in the end of the canoe (The twin pack expands very rapidly). I arrived as he was completing this and I looked in to see the end chamber over half full of something Cawdors Witches would have been proud of. Two thing occurred to me, one was the label which said in big letters: "Caution - expansion ration 50:1" (or something similar) and the other that the now empty tins said "approximately enough for 20 small craft". Any comment was drowned out by a sea of yellow brown foam suddenly pouring out of the middle of the canoe and the end of the canoe bursting open. My friend screamed and leapt at his pride and joy that was knocked to the ground as he started trying to bale handfuls of this stuff out with his hands. Knocking the craft over allowed the end as well. A few seconds later and we had a canoe with two exploded ends, a mountain of solid foam about 4ft high growing out of the middle, and a chemist firmly embedded up to his armpits in it. Round about this time he discovered the reaction was exothermic and his hands and arms were getting very hot indeed. Running about in small circles in a confined space while glued to the remains of a fairly large canoe proved ineffective so he resorted to screaming a bit instead. Fortunately a Kukri was to hand so I attacked the foam around his hands with some enthusiasm. The process was hindered by the noise he was making and the fact he was trying to escape while still attached to the canoe. Eventually I managed to hack out a lump of foam still including most of his arms and hands. Unfortunately my tears of laughter were not helping as they accelerated the foam setting. Seeking medical help was obviously out of the embarrassment of having to explain his occupation (Chief Research Chemist at a major petrochemical organisation) would simply never have been lived down. Several hours and much acrimony later we had removed sufficient foam (and much hair) to allow him to move again. However he still looked something like a failed audition for Quasimodo with red burns on his arms and expanded blobs of foam sticking everywhere. My comment that the scalding simply made the hairs the foam was sticking to come out easier was not met with the enthusiasm I felt it deserved. I forgot to add that in retrospect rather unwisely he had set out to do this deed in the hallway of his house, it being the only place with sufficient headroom for the canoe, achieved by poking it up the stairwell. Having extricated him we now were faced with the problem of a canoe construction kit embedded in a still gurgling block of foam which was now irrevocably bonded to the hall and stairs carpet as well as several banister rails and quite a lot of wallpaper. At this point his wife and her mother came back from shopping......Oh yes - and he had been wearing the pullover Mum in law had knitted him for his birthday the week before.

They work OK but you lose the focusing ability. They also produce a bluish tinted light, that is more like a floodlight. Wal~Mart carries the conversion kits without the rear switch, Bass Pro Shops carries the one with the switch. The switch is nice BUT you have to remember to leave the lens loose so that the internal switch stays on. If you want a real bright light they are not the thing. For that you want the new 1 WATT LED Mini Mag that just came out. They are a bit larger but DON'T look in the lens. If you want a nice conversion for a full size Mag Lite, Mag has a 3 WATT LED conversion bulb for 19 bucks. It allows you to focus and REALLY light up the world. It works GREAT. I have 4 of them in the lights I use for fire duty. They are nice because they don't blow when dropped and they REALLY extend the battery life however when the batteries are dead the light just goes OUT. Just make sure you get the correct one for the light you have. They are NOT universal. Nite Ize has a cheaper LED universal bulb for 2-6 cell lights but DON'T bother with it. It is JUNK and provides less light than dead batteries with the normal bulb. -- Steve W.

John, I believe these are same GM gasoline engines that the Air Force used in their Minuteman transporters. They used gasoline engines instead of diesel because of availability of gasoline versus diesel fuel in some of the remote launch sites. The transporter had 3- 4 MPG rating. At some of the sites in the mid west had to be fueled in route to the launch area. If I remember correctly, the transporters had a fuel capacity of 120 gallons. I don't remember the cubic inch displacement. However, 12 cylinder was actually two 6 cylinder engines in tandem. At the beginning of the program, they had many drive line/transmission problems.

Message-ID: <200609092310390.SM01856@new.databak.co.za> Hi Guys, Hold thumbs for me tomorrow. The 1928 Wolseley R is almost ready for a test startup. For those who missed earlier posts on this engine: It is a 6 H.P. Wolseley Type R that followed me home in December last year. It had no flywheels when found and being only one of two engines of this type (that I know of) in South Africa there was no chance of finding a set lying around. I was lucky enough to obtain a set of Lister 616 spoked flywheels and my friend, Justin Ludewig has made an excellent job of making them fit. This will all be documented on a webpage when the engine is finished so I will not go into details now. Suffice to say that I think that the engine looks a 1000 times better with these spoked flywheels than the original Wolseley solid flywheels - he's now a damned handsome bugger. In fact Justin has done 99.9% of the restoration of this engine so I cannot claim credit. I think he has done an excellent job. I'm not going to go into details of the work required and done - webpage will follow soon. Once we have it running well them I will start to clean it up and paint it as well as make a nice trolley for it. I've put a sneak preview pic here: The fuel tank & cooling water connections are temporary and I have to make a temporary exhaust tomorrow morning just for the startup. The grinding marks on the barrel (cylinder) are where we welded up a crack caused by frost. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. Tel.

Our local WalMart had them. I was able to get the unit for the 2 - 6 cell replacement LED which replace the original bulb. This replacement LED bulb also fits the Gordon flashlight which is a knock off of the MagLite. The LED unit for the Mini Maglite has three LEDs and give good light.

Fixed the problems, retained as >much of the original finish as possible - excellent! >Regards, >Kim Siddorn >Time flies like an arrow >Fruit flies like a banana Hi Kim, Thanks for the praise. I'm in two minds as to what I should do next - my plan was to strip it down and repaint but I actually like it as it is now. Maybe I should ask the lists to give me a vote. How about it ? C'mon guys lets hear from you with some good explanations as to why I should go this way or that. Must I strip it down and repaint it or should I keep it looking like this. My original plan was to build a trolley (transporter to you guys living north of Mexico) as I have some good illustrations of what the original looked like but I'm now also thinking that maybe a flat steel deck covered with wooden floorboards and having removable wheels would also look good. This is not an original idea - I saw it on one of your engines - I cannot remember exactly whose it was - maybe Rick Strobel ? I think it was a Goolds (Goulds) engine. The subject cropped up during a discussion on Jacks. He had wheels that just "clipped in" for moving and loading but were removed when in position at shows. Looked great standing flat on the ground. This would also be good for "anchoring" the engine as I plan on using it to drive a 1930's Ransomes "Moon" Corn Sheller. Thanks in advance for all the replies I hope to get.

But I have a feel good solution for you. I have a 12,000 gvw trailer you can use for the trip. Hell it is enclosed and will protect the engine from the elements and will contain anything that might happen to fall off on such a long trip. It ought to be perfect for the KA to NC haul and as long as you return the trailer before Cotton Ginning Days (with the Austral in it of course) I'll be happy to lend it to you. Don't both with the pesky details of getting the engine from NC to PA. Trivial matters.....all that's important is how good that engine will look in MY shed. :-) Curt Holland Gastonia, NC P.S.

The water pump picks the water up from the tank, pushes it through the engine, it then flows through the upright cooling tank behind the engine then back into the tank below the engine. Here's some pictures of my 8hp Austral _http://www.oldengine.org/members/christison/vivas/_ (http://www.oldengine.org/members/christison/vivas/) Wow, there will be at least 3 Australs on the east coast :-) Dwight Vivas Matoaca, VA.

The fuel tank is between the rails directly under the engine. The cooling water is circulated by the water pump and is aided in cooling by passing over slats in the cooling tower. The exhaust passes through the cooling tower and aids in cooling by forcing a rush of air through the tower. Makes for a great exhaust note. The smaller Australs do not have the water pump & cooling tower setup but a large tank and thermosyphon cooling.

The flight I was booked on was cancelled. They re-booked me for the next day after standing in a looong queue for two hours. Teamed with another traveller and we got rooms at a Motel. Free trip from airport. Returned to airport and handed new ticket. Ha! The flight is cancelled!! Got re-booked on another set of flights. Delayed!!! Delayed!! Cancelled!!! Re-booked yet again on another airline this time. Delayed!! Finally left Chicago at 7:15 pm.Via Charlotte instead of Cincinnati. Arrived at Asheville at 12:15 am Tues. Phoned Steve and he came and got me. I was stuffed! Also, my pills are in my baggage. Baggage? What baggage! Yup, they are as I write, lost!! Waiting for the airlines to find em. (The injections came with me as hand luggage. Never had room for the pills as well. Never expected this) Its now just after 10 am Tues and I am in Steve's office at work. He is in a meeting.

This one has been simmering away for about 3-4 years but finally came my way. I had to get it shipped down from Nth Queensland as I did not really feel like a 4000km round trip to pick it up (I am getting wimpy in my old age). The engine is a 4hp R Line engine and is in very good and fairly complete condition. It will make a nice companion to the 4hp L Line engine (which is getting closer to being restored) and of course all the other R&Vs.

I used this on the CD I did for Reggie, and he thought it was really nice. The really great part is that there is no PAPER LABEL. You need the Light Scribe hard ware to use it, but it comes with the software, if you want to add one of these to your existing PC the cost is about $50 from Best Buy. You can save this amount very quickly in the cost of labels and ink. The special CD's and DVD's are not any more expensive than the plan ones you have to put labels on. Bill loves this process, since he has a CD player in his truck that does not have a tray, because he no longer has to worry about the label coming off of his compilations I make for him from CD's we get at Tower records. I like to make a copy and then put the original CD away, I never sell them or give them away so I am not breaking any copy write laws.

In 2001, Lowell Wagner and Buster Brown hosted the First Southwest Regional Hot Air Engine Meet in conjunction with the Arizona Flywheelers? show in Cottonwood, Arizona. It was a magnificent success, with participants from around the globe. They repeated their act in 2005, again assembling a stunning collection of hot air engines and enthusiasts. The next meet will be held at a new venue. It will be held in Tulare, California, in conjunction with the California Antique Farm Equipment Show. The event will be April 21-22, 2007. We think this next show will be bigger and better than ever, and hope that you will be able to join us.

It was tough watching it go up the drive, but I know it's got a good home and now I have ALMOST enough money in my pocket to buy the 11 HP Austral from Rob and Kelley! See: http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/index.html (Given the OUTRAGEOUS price Rob is getting for the engine I sure hope that [at least] he is taking Kelley to a nice bed and breakfast several times--but I digress!) On Wed. morning (the 20th) I'll pull out at sparrow's fart (or before) and head for Philadelphia TN where I'll pick up a 10,000 GVW trailer (like this one--see: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300026734712&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:1 ) That's a 526 mile trip. After picking up the trailer I'll head west on RT 40 for about 2,038 miles and then merge onto CA 60. At that point I'll be about an hour from Kelley and Rob's place. I plan to get to their place by 10:00 (or so) on Sunday! Reg will be there, and that's good because Rob tells me that we will need strong backs and weak minds for loading the Austral on my trailer! In all the trip out will be 2,699 miles. I'll leave Rob and Kelley on Monday with the Austral in tow and arrive back in Greensburg on Thurs, the 28th. The trip home will be a lot easier, for it's only 2,444 miles! Wish me luck. I'm hoping to keep the dirty side of my truck down the whole way. If I don't make it back alive and you are interested in any of my engines (see: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/Roti_Eng/ ) please contact Arnie. He will be handling the sale for my wife!

He may know you when you call he may not. He had been recalling events that never happened like visits to Australia and people that Bob said visited that never did or remembered people who didn't actually visit that did. But it is getting better. Visits in person have to work around the rehab schedule. If you get a chance call.

The witness said they had already went off the road once and she had told her husband that if these kids did not stop that playing around they were going to kill someone. She said that about that time she saw the passenger reach up again and grab the steering wheel and yank on it which sent the truck careening off of the road into a ditch and then they hit a culvert, went airborne, according to the witness about 50' in the air and the truck went end over end and landed upside down. I talked to the state trooper at the scene and he said he could smell alcohol so they gave my grandson a breathalyzer test on the spot and it came up zero but the passenger, whom my grandson had just picked up was reeking of alcohol. I understand that the passenger got a public drunkenness ticket. My grandson got a ticket for no seat belts and Careless and Prohibitive Driving.

My reaction was, I'm sure, the same as the 16 year old girl on her wedding night in the year that the Tod was built--DAMN THAT THING SURE IS HUGE! The Tod was a good 200 yards away when we first saw it, and we all stopped dead in our tracks and just looked at her! What a sight! And what a crew we made! Can anyone else remember the day that it was -10 F in the building and we (dumb asses that we were) still tried to remove nuts and bolts? It was 5 minutes of work and 20 minutes in front of the kero torpedo space heater! One inch frost on the flywheel, and when you scraped that off it would reappear in about 15 minutes and you could not tell where it had been removed! I also remember you, Rick, hanging on the end of a 4' chain wrench (about 9' in the air) with an 11' cheater pipe attached to it--and the damn chain broke! That was in an attempt to remove the last 5" nut holding the flywheel together. It was only "the luck of the Irish" that caused you to miss stratteling that 4'X8' piece of upright 1/4" steel guard at the end of the flywheel! (Have you ever told your bride how close you came to becoming a soprano that day?) Then there was the day we attempted to remove the last 11" nut from the con rod cap. Used the 10 ton Pettibone crane so we did--and broke the dam 3' wrench in the process! Your friend (damn, I can't remember his name) cut us a new 11" hex nut wrench out of 1" steel plate (actually two 1/2" pieces of steel plate welded together) that night and the next morning the Pettibone loosened the nut with only a slight "tink." After that I removed the nut BY HAND--although I needed Arnie's help to carry the damn thing over to the nut pile after I had it off. And the stories I could relate about the comradery that developed as the project continued. Only one other time in my life can I recall such comradery! I thank you Rick for allowing me to be a small part of the TOD Project! I'll take my memories of that experience with me to my grave! Dave PS, Thinking about my grave, when the hell do you think the Tod will be all back together and running on her own steam (or should I say "air?") I figure that I only have another 10 years, or so, so how about getting on the stick and making it happen before that?

When all is said and done and one needs to replace an ignition system on a small air cooled engine, the least expensive way is to convert it to an automotive transistor type. The Wells CR 109 controller costs $16 to $20 at most auto parts stores. One needs a conventional coil with a built in resistor ( Tecumseh, Kohler or aftermarket) or a ballast resistor and a trigger coil. I make the trigger coils, but the instructions for making them are on my web site http://home.earthlink.net/~edstoller/ . A recent project was to make an ignition system for Ron Frosts model of a 1895 Mery engine. Here we wanted to keep the trigger coil as small as possible. We wound up with a salvaged coil on a 10-24 screw with the magnet on the head. It is about the size of a pencil eraser. Ron is still working on this and has not got to the point of stack music yet. I hope he could bring it to the Coolspring show. The Mery has two combustion chambers, so we are using a coil from a 1996 Bonneville to fire both plugs at the same time. Ron's engine has the trigger mounted on a lever to control the spark advance. If I ever get my STOVER CT_2 together, I will probably use some thing like to above until I get a Wyco EK.

Some of the engines I have looked at look to be okay, they are loose and turn okay. Many times though, they are not running and have not run for a while. The owners always say they are okay but there is no way to tell that for sure. I understand that replacing a magneto can be expensive, sometimes more than the engine itself. My question is, how can you check a mag on an engine that is not running to see if it is okay. Can you hook a test spark plug up, crank the engine and expect to see a spark? Are there other ways to quickly check a mag to see if it is okay? How about engines with ignitors. How can you check them? Thanks for any input.

Here's an update. It has been inspected and, except for about 30 years of accumulated dirt, the two older engines turn. There wasn't a bar for the O.P. genset but it looks like it should turn, too. (The engines were only turned about 1/8th of a turn in case something small was stuck.) After turning the engines, the oilers were turned about 100 turns to get a little lube to the bearings. The alternators and exciters look to be all right but should be cleaned up and recoated with glyptol. There are a bunch of original tools - most likely nearly a set of tools for each of the older engines. Manuals are a question mark. There is a pile of junk leaning against the doors of a couple of cabinets that might contain paperwork but we won't know until the junk is cleared out of the building. That is supposed to happen soon. There are two air compressors (electric motor driven) and tanks but their condition is totally unknown. The control panels are complete and as they were when the plant was shut down for the last time. A couple of meter glasses are cracked and a step ladder fell on the chart recorder at some time in the past and broke the case. It looks as if originally there were three of the 2-banger sets. One was removed and the 5-banger O.P. (250kW) unit with it's control panel was installed in it's place. The control panel for the old removed genset is leaning against the wall in the back room. There is some surface rust on the rheostat housings, etc. but it looks to be only cosmetic. All of the control and power transformers are still in place (2200 Volt to 220 Volt 3-phase) and look to be serviceable. The coolant pumps and heat exchangers and all the plumbing are there. The older engines were cooled by heat exchange from a well. The O.P. unit has a radiator. The fuel day tanks , filters, etc. are there and may be useable. At this time, we have qualified parties interested in the gensets but won't know for sure if they will be taken until Board meetings are held to decide. The plan is to remove them some time in November. A barge will be chartered with a crane and can be floated to near the building at high tide. The plan is to load one or more semi flatbed trailers onto the barge and transfer the machinery to them after moving it outside the building. The trailers can most likely be hooked up and driven off the barge from the mainland dock. The O.P unit is on a skid and closest to the door and we hope to be able to skid it out with come alongs. The exciters, alternators, etc will be disassembled from the old units and we hope that we have enough muscle (moving gear) to be able to the engines (minus railings, etc.) in one piece. We are also hoping to get volunteer professional riggers to do the smart part of moving everything. The control panels and the alternator rotors should be crated and we need someone who knows how to get this done. There is some 120 Volt AC power in the building for lights and tools. Anyhoo, that's about it. We're really optimistic about saving this iron and, barring some bureaucratic snags, it should get done.

There was a good line up of IHC engines, tractors, trucks and implements. The weather was perfect (unusual for this rally). A few list members were present, Brad even brought his big 10hp M out of hiding and made the long trip down. Of course, as the feature was IHC I exhibited my Stover, Brock had his White and Gilson, Michael had a Witte & Cam had his Austral. The rest of the list members did manage to have IHC engines so that made up for us ;) The mighty YC Stover had its first failure after much running at rallies since its debut last December. It broke the return spring on the Webster ignitor. It is of course in a fiddly spot and the engine was very hot so it was not fun to replace. New spring in place and the engine was running again. The Webster gets a fairly hard time on the throttle governed engine as it is continually being tripped unlike on the hit and miss when it gets a bit of a break when the engine is missing. It was another fantastic weekend with nice engines and great people. I will hopefully have some pics up on my site on the weekend. I took over 400 photos so there is a lot to sort through.

I like the Australs and would love to trade for one. It doesn't appear I could afford the haul bill and associated headaches though to get one. I was telling a friend of mine a year or so ago that I might take a trip to an engine show in Australia some day. He asked how far away it was and I told him about 9000 miles. He said "WHEW, WHAT A DRIVE!". They haven't built the bridge yet though. Thanks again for posting the photos. Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY >Finally had a chance to sort through the over 400 pics I took.

As you guys know my truck was destroyed in a recent accident. I am now truck shopping for a good used truck. I have found a 3/4 Ton HD 2001 Chevrolet with the big engine in it, it is loaded, has a crew cab, has 87,000 miles on it, towing package, bedliner, etc. The man was asking $14,000 for it and has come down to $13,300. I ask him if he was the original owner and he said no. He told me he bought it from the man who had originally bought it and that this man was a pipeliner and used the truck to pull a mobile home from job to job. He put 20,000 miles on it and then this guy that has it now bought it. He has put 67,000 miles on it and he started out pulling a large camper trailer with it and then just used it for general transportation and pulling a 12' trailer with various things on it. My question is that this truck has spent most if it's life pulling loads, do you think that all of this pulling might have generated excessive wear in the drive train? According to Kelly Blue Book the truck is worth about $11,900 if one consumer buys it from another consumer, about a $1000.00 less if traded in.

Automatic transmission responded well in the Rockies. I have read tho that exh. manifolds have been known to crack...hopefully they got that prob fixed..to my knowledge, mine never did. You're talking crewcab and if it's a long box, well that's a pretty long truck for getting around town, i.e. parking lots, tight turns and such. I also concur..drivetrain should be fine. If automatic..smell the tranny fluid, you'll be able to tell if it's burnt. Gas mileage, I'd say not to expect any more than 15...probably less. 2wd or 4wd....2wd is fine on pavement. Hauling iron to shows..should be great..everyday get around town rig..naw Hope this helps a little and super happy your Grandson is OK!!! Regards, RickinMt.

It's a LT with all the toys, but the important part is ,it's been trouble free, gets 19+ MPG up hill/down hill with a 2000+Lb load in the back sometimes. The tranny is set up for towing heavy loads. The gas big block loves gas. Unless you have a need for it 'I'd pass on it. The standard 6.0 L will get the job done. If you can find one that was a "pet" pay a little more for it rather than a "Mule".

I think part of the problem was the 10 ply tires on the truck when I got it. Replaced them with something not so stiff and it does seem to grip better. As for parking lots you get used to backing into spaces. I must admit the ride quality on mine is GREAT! The only thing I really dislike about mine is the lack of 4wd. Maybe on the next truck......

Howard promotes what he calls Howard's Backyard Auto Body training. He is a professional paint and body man who loves to share his knowledge with others and he has assured me he would love to hear from all of the old engine collectors if you need advice on preparing and painting metal to include our old iron.

Mike and I conversed a lot by e-mail and by phone. I still have the engine, it is still setting where I put it the day I brought it home from Portland. Now everytime I look at it I will be reminded that it came from a good friend who has now gone to be with the Lord. May God grant you and your family a peace that surpasses all understanding as another of our beloved engine men has departed this life for one where there will be no suffering, no tears, no heartaches, just joy and peace.

B.A. is British Association. A standard for small threads, below about 1/4". Dates back to the 1800s, but the dimensions are actually metric-based. The thread profile is much narrower than Whitworth. Details are online on a bunch of sites, some of which have already been cited. Interestingly enough, the small screws on Mauser rifles are B.A., and the big threads on the barrel are Whitworth. The original machine tools Mauser Werke used came from England, and all subsequent Mauser licensees have stuck with the English thread standards. If anyone needs any B.A. #1 x 1" cheesehead screws or hex nuts, let me know. I had to order a pretty good bunch from http://britishfasteners.com/ to meet their minimum order when I tore up the funny looking round, slotted nut on the barrel band of my Czech-built M98/29 Persian Mauser.

Message-ID: <200609252048406.SM00316@new.databak.co.za> Hi Guys (especially the Aussies !) My 1928 Wolseley R Type is running well and I'm now on the "short strokes". Just need a bit of help and info. 1) Can anyone give me the measurements for the silencer (muffler) on a 6 H.P. model? The smaller version is 127mm diameter and I do not know if the 6 H.P. is the same or a larger diameter. I want to fabricate one (maybe just a false one as the engine runs very quietly just through a piece of 50mm pipe at the moment). If you have one or know of someone who has one I could mail a drawing showing which sizes I need. Thanks in advance. 2) I'm missing the "U" tube on the carburettor. The engine runs fine without it as this is just to bring in warm air from the exhaust side for the paraffin (Kerosene) and I have actually "disabled" the other parts of the carb that have to do with paraffin - it will in future only run on petrol (gas to the guys in the States). Purely for the sake of originality I'd like to get one - even if I end up hanging it on a chain from the carb (it would run too hot for petrol). Alternatively I'd block it off on the exhaust side and drill air intake holes in the back of it where they would be unseen. If anyone has a spare lying around in a box please let me have a price. Remember it is for the 6 H.P. model - I do not know if the smaller engines used the same size - a few measurements from me should be able to clear it up pretty quickly.

How they did it was for the author to send master copies to a volunteer in each region. The responsibility of the recipient in each region was to advertise the fact that they were making copies and send them to who ever wanted a copy in the region. Distribution worked quite well but it did take awhile for everyone to get a copy of the disk. Reimbursement was voluntary for costs. I don't recall how well the reimbursing went as I did much of the swapping by the barter system ( I sent a disk to you, you sent a disk on another subject back or to someone else). I was one of the volunteers. And, I offer my services again if it helps out. A policy has to be set up though so everyone knows what is going one.

If that were the case, then no 1 hour movie could fit onto a standard DVD. My recordings at "DVD quality" show more like 1.5 gig for 1 hour. Makes sense since you can get a 120+ minute high-definition movie on a single layer of a DVD. You can only get a file size of 4.38 gig on a standard DVD, so 30 minutes at a 5 gig file is a bit overkill. Typically, to record to DVD, you can get daything up to 6 hours or more depending on the quality you need. As a rough rule of thumb for various frame sizes (assuming a good MPEG encoder): Using 720 x 576/480 ('D1'), up to 2 hours at good > very good quality, up to 3 hours for average quality. Using 352 x 576/480 ('half D1'), up to 4 hours at good > average quality (the pictures will be softer overall due to the reduced horizontal resolution). So for very good quality, 30 minutes should take no more than about 1gig. I record at about 60 minutes to 1.2 gig or so. And on our high-def TV, it's quite good.

It took about twelve hours. Clearly, they have no standards. They?ll believe anything you tell them. You don?t need to be a director to upload videos under 10 minutes, but for your huge video, you?ll need the Director?s account. It?s all free.

Clem, I'll fess up to owning the Famous with rubber bands tensioning the governor! The engine, a 1907 IHC Famous sold as an Osborne, is mounted on a buzz saw rig and I had only finished putting the saw rig back together and getting it belted up the week before Portland. The springs that I had on the governor were a good tension for running the engine slow but I didn't have time to try a handful of springs to find the right combination of springs to run fast enough to saw. So, rubber bands were called into action and they did their job, they didn't look very pretty but they did their job :-)!

(See: http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/ronaldsontippettaustral.jpg) I got home with the engine this afternoon. In all it was a 5,375 mile trip!

Rob was correct when he said that the engine was easy to start and ran like a top--we had it running at 68-70 RPM's most of the morning on Sunday! Tomorrow I'll see if I remember what Rob and Kelley taught me re: starting the engine!

Thanks for posting them again as I remember you showing these to us after the R-T Rally. You are peaking my interest in trying to get one of these. I have a question for you, why do some of the trucks (steel wheeled carts they are on) have cast iron wheels and others have flat steel spokes? Is there some significance for them to be one way or the other? On the one that Dave got, it has the flat steel spokes. On your engine it has the cast iron wheels. From looking at the SN's, it looks like the difference doesn't correspond to the dates of manufacture. Thanks!

My son (Todd) and I ran the engine for about a half an hour today. We couldn't get the revs under 100. If we did for one or two hits the engine would then stop. When I picked the engine up in KA a week ago Rob and Kelley had it running about 70 RPM's. Granted it was 80 degrees and sunny in KA and 55 degrees and damp here. However, there was no water in the engine (or at least I think there was no water in it--none drained from the pipe at the bottom of the water tank) and I would have thought a half hours running would have warmed it up sufficiently to get the speed down under 100 revs. I had the burner I'm using in place of the lamp on both here and in KA the whole time while running the engine. Perhaps it was not on high enough here. I'll try more heat tomorrow when Arnie is here and see if that helps. I'd like to get it running at 69 revs so that I can really call it MY engine!

Powered by a 2hp Alamo "idling" along at a pretty slow speed. I could measure my pulleys in a bit - I certainly would not run it faster than I was doing. Toughest part was keeping the belt from slipping on the uneven ground there alignment wasn't easy but once going, it worked quite well and got a number of remarks. Yours looks like it's a step up in size from the one I powered with the engine - looks closer in size to my 14" saw which is the same make/brand and all, just the next model up. It's powered with an electric motor about the size of a washing machine motor.

The difference here is that he touched the lives of millions of viewers and he stood up for the animal kingdom and tried to share that with his audience. No matter what kind of man he was he was and still is very important to God and I know today he is in a better place even though he will be truly missed by his family, friends and fans. Yes a lot of people have lost the meaning of something special but not me. I cared for my wife for years before her death and there were times I just did not think I'd make it through another day seeing her suffer as she did. But with all the pain and heartache, she was and will always be special to me for what she taught me about strength and caring for one another.

I agree that the guy is out there way past normality. He did things that make us Aussies feel that his days were numbered. Mind you not this way. If you told me he died from a snake bite or the like I would say "Well what did you expect" None the less this guy has done wonders for Australian tourism. He has made many of the un-educated more aware of the need to respect wildlife along the greatly populated east cost. He also employed 500 locals in his local community. He rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous but never lost focus on who he was and his cause. I'm not much of a greenie I tell you that. But he was one of a kind and all done for the better good. Even if his ways were different to what a not so ex centric crock hunter may be. His got my respect for what he has done for awareness to wildlife etc. Doesn't mean I would have had him around for dinner. Just paying credit where credit is due.

It was a great weekend catching up with engine folk from all over NSW and QLD. The overall number of engines and tractors seemed to be down on previous years which I suspect was partially due to the rising cost of fuel.

Having said that, I logged on to your page and it does seem to load quite a bit quicker than the old system so as far as I'm concerned it is an improvement. P.S. 20 minutes after writing the above. Oops - Drastic change of mind - the thumbnails load quite quickly but I use "Firefox" and open the linked larger pics in "new tabs" - with a slow connection they all seem to "timeout" - the adverts load O.K. but the pics I want to see just "timeout" and I've got to click the reload button for each of them . I get a page showing a large blank "place holder' for the pic and a bunch of adverts "Cnet has launched in Britain" features very prominently. Obviously their coding forces the adverts to load first. I do not like pages like this. This is probably O.K. for all you guys with Broadband or fast connections but does not work for me! I also realize that it is just my own problem that I live in a country that is going backwards fast and Internet connections are not up to par with the rest of the world - but you asked for opinions. How many of you guys out there on the SEL have the same problem as me - connection speeds not up to standard ?? The above is the reason why I love "oldengine.org" - no top heavy scripting - no adverts - no bulldust - just engine stuff. Thanks very much Jim you are doing us all a service that we probably can never thank you enough for. Dave, thanks for your very interesting pages - I do look at them often because you have things up there that I want to see (and am prepared to wait) but I think that the "casual browser" may not be as patient.

It is not for all though, and a lot of folk don't want the hassle of learning HTML, which is why Webshots and others are so popular.

The resistor will get hot. One should work for both coils because only one coil can fire at a time. Leaving the switch on with the engine stopped will allow a dead draw across the resistor if the points are closed, with twelve cylinders this is quite likely. Some vehicles had a bypass wire to supply battery voltage to the coil while cranking, the starter pulls voltage down, this compensates. J.B.

Your prayers, calls, donations and thoughtfulness are really appreciated. Bob was very impressed by your caring and kindness. We will be moving Bob to Parkwood Hospital on Thursday afternoon, this is a hospital that specializes in nothing but brain therapy. I thank god that he WAS wearing his helmet (it is law in Ontario) if he wasn't he would not be with us still. Bob has a long way to go for recovery and we take it one day at a time. He is walking better now although his legs are weak and a bit stiff. He walks everyday a few times around the hospital. He has recovered some movement in his foot and ankle, so it looks like he will not have "foot drop" but still has some numbness in that lower right leg. Everyday is a blessing and we thank you all, and those other strangers and friends at Portland who donated and called after hearing about Bob's accident.Please pass our heartfelt thanks to any you know that donated but are not on this list.

Should be one per coil and it should not run red hot! The coils can be replaced by modern 12V types (the existing ones are probably rated for 9V or even 6V) and the resistors discarded. When the engine is stopped and the points closed you will feed current continuously through the coils and resistor.

Function is to reduce current flowing through coil during normal operations. The coil won't handle the full 12v full-time. Yes, they can get VERY hot, thus the ceramic, however, I wonder about one resister taking care of two coils. Sounds like a bit much load. Mopar used ceramic resisters, as did certain other companies. My Javelin had a grp 19 Mallary coil and it required such a ballast resister and came as part of the kit. Otherwise, the stock ignition used a resistance wire made into the wiring harness. Personally, I'd have one resister per coil - they will run way too hot to touch, but sounds like a lot of current going through that one with two coils.

So, perhaps one resister COULD run two coils - I bet the thing wouldn't run so hot then while running. They DO get hot normally, that's why they are ceramic and typically mounted "in the clear".

I think it is worth repetition. 8^) Read the Instructions! A friend of mine once built a canoe. He spent a long time on it and it was a work of art. Almost the final phase was to fill both ends with polyurethane expanding foam. He duly ordered the bits from Mr Glasplies (an excellent purveyor of all things fibreglass) and it arrived in two packs covered with appropriately dire warnings about expansion ratios and some very good notes on how to use it. Unfortunately he had a degree, worse still two of them. One was in Chemistry, so the instructions got thrown away and the other in something mathematical because in a few minutes he was merrily calculating the volume of his craft to many decimal places and the guidelines got binned as well. He propped the canoe up on one end, got a huge tin, carefully measured the calculated amounts of glop, mixed them and quickly poured the mixture in the end of the canoe (The twin pack expands very rapidly). I arrived as he was completing this and I looked in to see the end chamber over half full of something Cawdors Witches would have been proud of. Two thing occurred to me, one was the label which said in big letters: "Caution - expansion ration 50:1" (or something similar) and the other that the now empty tins said "approximately enough for 20 small craft". Any comment was drowned out by a sea of yellow brown foam suddenly pouring out of the middle of the canoe and the end of the canoe bursting open. My friend screamed and leapt at his pride and joy that was knocked to the ground as he started trying to bale handfuls of this stuff out with his hands. Knocking the craft over allowed the end as well. A few seconds later and we had a canoe with two exploded ends, a mountain of solid foam about 4ft high growing out of the middle, and a chemist firmly embedded up to his armpits in it. Round about this time he discovered the reaction was exothermic and his hands and arms were getting very hot indeed. Running about in small circles in a confined space while glued to the remains of a fairly large canoe proved ineffective so he resorted to screaming a bit instead. Fortunately a Kukri was to hand so I attacked the foam around his hands with some enthusiasm. The process was hindered by the noise he was making and the fact he was trying to escape while still attached to the canoe. Eventually I managed to hack out a lump of foam still including most of his arms and hands. Unfortunately my tears of laughter were not helping as they accelerated the foam setting. Seeking medical help was obviously out of the embarrassment of having to explain his occupation (Chief Research Chemist at a major petrochemical organisation) would simply never have been lived down. Several hours and much acrimony later we had removed sufficient foam (and much hair) to allow him to move again. However he still looked something like a failed audition for Quasimodo with red burns on his arms and expanded blobs of foam sticking everywhere. My comment that the scalding simply made the hairs the foam was sticking to come out easier was not met with the enthusiasm I felt it deserved. I forgot to add that in retrospect rather unwisely he had set out to do this deed in the hallway of his house, it being the only place with sufficient headroom for the canoe, achieved by poking it up the stairwell. Having extricated him we now were faced with the problem of a canoe construction kit embedded in a still gurgling block of foam which was now irrevocably bonded to the hall and stairs carpet as well as several banister rails and quite a lot of wallpaper. At this point his wife and her mother came back from shopping......Oh yes - and he had been wearing the pullover Mum in law had knitted him for his birthday the week before.

They work OK but you lose the focusing ability. They also produce a bluish tinted light, that is more like a floodlight. Wal~Mart carries the conversion kits without the rear switch, Bass Pro Shops carries the one with the switch. The switch is nice BUT you have to remember to leave the lens loose so that the internal switch stays on. If you want a real bright light they are not the thing. For that you want the new 1 WATT LED Mini Mag that just came out. They are a bit larger but DON'T look in the lens. If you want a nice conversion for a full size Mag Lite, Mag has a 3 WATT LED conversion bulb for 19 bucks. It allows you to focus and REALLY light up the world. It works GREAT. I have 4 of them in the lights I use for fire duty. They are nice because they don't blow when dropped and they REALLY extend the battery life however when the batteries are dead the light just goes OUT. Just make sure you get the correct one for the light you have. They are NOT universal. Nite Ize has a cheaper LED universal bulb for 2-6 cell lights but DON'T bother with it. It is JUNK and provides less light than dead batteries with the normal bulb. -- Steve W.

John, I believe these are same GM gasoline engines that the Air Force used in their Minuteman transporters. They used gasoline engines instead of diesel because of availability of gasoline versus diesel fuel in some of the remote launch sites. The transporter had 3- 4 MPG rating. At some of the sites in the mid west had to be fueled in route to the launch area. If I remember correctly, the transporters had a fuel capacity of 120 gallons. I don't remember the cubic inch displacement. However, 12 cylinder was actually two 6 cylinder engines in tandem. At the beginning of the program, they had many drive line/transmission problems.

Message-ID: <200609092310390.SM01856@new.databak.co.za> Hi Guys, Hold thumbs for me tomorrow. The 1928 Wolseley R is almost ready for a test startup. For those who missed earlier posts on this engine: It is a 6 H.P. Wolseley Type R that followed me home in December last year. It had no flywheels when found and being only one of two engines of this type (that I know of) in South Africa there was no chance of finding a set lying around. I was lucky enough to obtain a set of Lister 616 spoked flywheels and my friend, Justin Ludewig has made an excellent job of making them fit. This will all be documented on a webpage when the engine is finished so I will not go into details now. Suffice to say that I think that the engine looks a 1000 times better with these spoked flywheels than the original Wolseley solid flywheels - he's now a damned handsome bugger. In fact Justin has done 99.9% of the restoration of this engine so I cannot claim credit. I think he has done an excellent job. I'm not going to go into details of the work required and done - webpage will follow soon. Once we have it running well them I will start to clean it up and paint it as well as make a nice trolley for it. I've put a sneak preview pic here: The fuel tank & cooling water connections are temporary and I have to make a temporary exhaust tomorrow morning just for the startup. The grinding marks on the barrel (cylinder) are where we welded up a crack caused by frost. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. Tel.

Our local WalMart had them. I was able to get the unit for the 2 - 6 cell replacement LED which replace the original bulb. This replacement LED bulb also fits the Gordon flashlight which is a knock off of the MagLite. The LED unit for the Mini Maglite has three LEDs and give good light.

Fixed the problems, retained as >much of the original finish as possible - excellent! >Regards, >Kim Siddorn >Time flies like an arrow >Fruit flies like a banana Hi Kim, Thanks for the praise. I'm in two minds as to what I should do next - my plan was to strip it down and repaint but I actually like it as it is now. Maybe I should ask the lists to give me a vote. How about it ? C'mon guys lets hear from you with some good explanations as to why I should go this way or that. Must I strip it down and repaint it or should I keep it looking like this. My original plan was to build a trolley (transporter to you guys living north of Mexico) as I have some good illustrations of what the original looked like but I'm now also thinking that maybe a flat steel deck covered with wooden floorboards and having removable wheels would also look good. This is not an original idea - I saw it on one of your engines - I cannot remember exactly whose it was - maybe Rick Strobel ? I think it was a Goolds (Goulds) engine. The subject cropped up during a discussion on Jacks. He had wheels that just "clipped in" for moving and loading but were removed when in position at shows. Looked great standing flat on the ground. This would also be good for "anchoring" the engine as I plan on using it to drive a 1930's Ransomes "Moon" Corn Sheller. Thanks in advance for all the replies I hope to get.

But I have a feel good solution for you. I have a 12,000 gvw trailer you can use for the trip. Hell it is enclosed and will protect the engine from the elements and will contain anything that might happen to fall off on such a long trip. It ought to be perfect for the KA to NC haul and as long as you return the trailer before Cotton Ginning Days (with the Austral in it of course) I'll be happy to lend it to you. Don't both with the pesky details of getting the engine from NC to PA. Trivial matters.....all that's important is how good that engine will look in MY shed. :-) Curt Holland Gastonia, NC P.S.

The water pump picks the water up from the tank, pushes it through the engine, it then flows through the upright cooling tank behind the engine then back into the tank below the engine. Here's some pictures of my 8hp Austral _http://www.oldengine.org/members/christison/vivas/_ (http://www.oldengine.org/members/christison/vivas/) Wow, there will be at least 3 Australs on the east coast :-) Dwight Vivas Matoaca, VA.

The fuel tank is between the rails directly under the engine. The cooling water is circulated by the water pump and is aided in cooling by passing over slats in the cooling tower. The exhaust passes through the cooling tower and aids in cooling by forcing a rush of air through the tower. Makes for a great exhaust note. The smaller Australs do not have the water pump & cooling tower setup but a large tank and thermosyphon cooling.

The flight I was booked on was cancelled. They re-booked me for the next day after standing in a looong queue for two hours. Teamed with another traveller and we got rooms at a Motel. Free trip from airport. Returned to airport and handed new ticket. Ha! The flight is cancelled!! Got re-booked on another set of flights. Delayed!!! Delayed!! Cancelled!!! Re-booked yet again on another airline this time. Delayed!! Finally left Chicago at 7:15 pm.Via Charlotte instead of Cincinnati. Arrived at Asheville at 12:15 am Tues. Phoned Steve and he came and got me. I was stuffed! Also, my pills are in my baggage. Baggage? What baggage! Yup, they are as I write, lost!! Waiting for the airlines to find em. (The injections came with me as hand luggage. Never had room for the pills as well. Never expected this) Its now just after 10 am Tues and I am in Steve's office at work. He is in a meeting.

This one has been simmering away for about 3-4 years but finally came my way. I had to get it shipped down from Nth Queensland as I did not really feel like a 4000km round trip to pick it up (I am getting wimpy in my old age). The engine is a 4hp R Line engine and is in very good and fairly complete condition. It will make a nice companion to the 4hp L Line engine (which is getting closer to being restored) and of course all the other R&Vs.

I used this on the CD I did for Reggie, and he thought it was really nice. The really great part is that there is no PAPER LABEL. You need the Light Scribe hard ware to use it, but it comes with the software, if you want to add one of these to your existing PC the cost is about $50 from Best Buy. You can save this amount very quickly in the cost of labels and ink. The special CD's and DVD's are not any more expensive than the plan ones you have to put labels on. Bill loves this process, since he has a CD player in his truck that does not have a tray, because he no longer has to worry about the label coming off of his compilations I make for him from CD's we get at Tower records. I like to make a copy and then put the original CD away, I never sell them or give them away so I am not breaking any copy write laws.

In 2001, Lowell Wagner and Buster Brown hosted the First Southwest Regional Hot Air Engine Meet in conjunction with the Arizona Flywheelers? show in Cottonwood, Arizona. It was a magnificent success, with participants from around the globe. They repeated their act in 2005, again assembling a stunning collection of hot air engines and enthusiasts. The next meet will be held at a new venue. It will be held in Tulare, California, in conjunction with the California Antique Farm Equipment Show. The event will be April 21-22, 2007. We think this next show will be bigger and better than ever, and hope that you will be able to join us.

It was tough watching it go up the drive, but I know it's got a good home and now I have ALMOST enough money in my pocket to buy the 11 HP Austral from Rob and Kelley! See: http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/index.html (Given the OUTRAGEOUS price Rob is getting for the engine I sure hope that [at least] he is taking Kelley to a nice bed and breakfast several times--but I digress!) On Wed. morning (the 20th) I'll pull out at sparrow's fart (or before) and head for Philadelphia TN where I'll pick up a 10,000 GVW trailer (like this one--see: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300026734712&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:1 ) That's a 526 mile trip. After picking up the trailer I'll head west on RT 40 for about 2,038 miles and then merge onto CA 60. At that point I'll be about an hour from Kelley and Rob's place. I plan to get to their place by 10:00 (or so) on Sunday! Reg will be there, and that's good because Rob tells me that we will need strong backs and weak minds for loading the Austral on my trailer! In all the trip out will be 2,699 miles. I'll leave Rob and Kelley on Monday with the Austral in tow and arrive back in Greensburg on Thurs, the 28th. The trip home will be a lot easier, for it's only 2,444 miles! Wish me luck. I'm hoping to keep the dirty side of my truck down the whole way. If I don't make it back alive and you are interested in any of my engines (see: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/Roti_Eng/ ) please contact Arnie. He will be handling the sale for my wife!

He may know you when you call he may not. He had been recalling events that never happened like visits to Australia and people that Bob said visited that never did or remembered people who didn't actually visit that did. But it is getting better. Visits in person have to work around the rehab schedule. If you get a chance call.

The witness said they had already went off the road once and she had told her husband that if these kids did not stop that playing around they were going to kill someone. She said that about that time she saw the passenger reach up again and grab the steering wheel and yank on it which sent the truck careening off of the road into a ditch and then they hit a culvert, went airborne, according to the witness about 50' in the air and the truck went end over end and landed upside down. I talked to the state trooper at the scene and he said he could smell alcohol so they gave my grandson a breathalyzer test on the spot and it came up zero but the passenger, whom my grandson had just picked up was reeking of alcohol. I understand that the passenger got a public drunkenness ticket. My grandson got a ticket for no seat belts and Careless and Prohibitive Driving.

My reaction was, I'm sure, the same as the 16 year old girl on her wedding night in the year that the Tod was built--DAMN THAT THING SURE IS HUGE! The Tod was a good 200 yards away when we first saw it, and we all stopped dead in our tracks and just looked at her! What a sight! And what a crew we made! Can anyone else remember the day that it was -10 F in the building and we (dumb asses that we were) still tried to remove nuts and bolts? It was 5 minutes of work and 20 minutes in front of the kero torpedo space heater! One inch frost on the flywheel, and when you scraped that off it would reappear in about 15 minutes and you could not tell where it had been removed! I also remember you, Rick, hanging on the end of a 4' chain wrench (about 9' in the air) with an 11' cheater pipe attached to it--and the damn chain broke! That was in an attempt to remove the last 5" nut holding the flywheel together. It was only "the luck of the Irish" that caused you to miss stratteling that 4'X8' piece of upright 1/4" steel guard at the end of the flywheel! (Have you ever told your bride how close you came to becoming a soprano that day?) Then there was the day we attempted to remove the last 11" nut from the con rod cap. Used the 10 ton Pettibone crane so we did--and broke the dam 3' wrench in the process! Your friend (damn, I can't remember his name) cut us a new 11" hex nut wrench out of 1" steel plate (actually two 1/2" pieces of steel plate welded together) that night and the next morning the Pettibone loosened the nut with only a slight "tink." After that I removed the nut BY HAND--although I needed Arnie's help to carry the damn thing over to the nut pile after I had it off. And the stories I could relate about the comradery that developed as the project continued. Only one other time in my life can I recall such comradery! I thank you Rick for allowing me to be a small part of the TOD Project! I'll take my memories of that experience with me to my grave! Dave PS, Thinking about my grave, when the hell do you think the Tod will be all back together and running on her own steam (or should I say "air?") I figure that I only have another 10 years, or so, so how about getting on the stick and making it happen before that?

When all is said and done and one needs to replace an ignition system on a small air cooled engine, the least expensive way is to convert it to an automotive transistor type. The Wells CR 109 controller costs $16 to $20 at most auto parts stores. One needs a conventional coil with a built in resistor ( Tecumseh, Kohler or aftermarket) or a ballast resistor and a trigger coil. I make the trigger coils, but the instructions for making them are on my web site http://home.earthlink.net/~edstoller/ . A recent project was to make an ignition system for Ron Frosts model of a 1895 Mery engine. Here we wanted to keep the trigger coil as small as possible. We wound up with a salvaged coil on a 10-24 screw with the magnet on the head. It is about the size of a pencil eraser. Ron is still working on this and has not got to the point of stack music yet. I hope he could bring it to the Coolspring show. The Mery has two combustion chambers, so we are using a coil from a 1996 Bonneville to fire both plugs at the same time. Ron's engine has the trigger mounted on a lever to control the spark advance. If I ever get my STOVER CT_2 together, I will probably use some thing like to above until I get a Wyco EK.

Some of the engines I have looked at look to be okay, they are loose and turn okay. Many times though, they are not running and have not run for a while. The owners always say they are okay but there is no way to tell that for sure. I understand that replacing a magneto can be expensive, sometimes more than the engine itself. My question is, how can you check a mag on an engine that is not running to see if it is okay. Can you hook a test spark plug up, crank the engine and expect to see a spark? Are there other ways to quickly check a mag to see if it is okay? How about engines with ignitors. How can you check them? Thanks for any input.

Here's an update. It has been inspected and, except for about 30 years of accumulated dirt, the two older engines turn. There wasn't a bar for the O.P. genset but it looks like it should turn, too. (The engines were only turned about 1/8th of a turn in case something small was stuck.) After turning the engines, the oilers were turned about 100 turns to get a little lube to the bearings. The alternators and exciters look to be all right but should be cleaned up and recoated with glyptol. There are a bunch of original tools - most likely nearly a set of tools for each of the older engines. Manuals are a question mark. There is a pile of junk leaning against the doors of a couple of cabinets that might contain paperwork but we won't know until the junk is cleared out of the building. That is supposed to happen soon. There are two air compressors (electric motor driven) and tanks but their condition is totally unknown. The control panels are complete and as they were when the plant was shut down for the last time. A couple of meter glasses are cracked and a step ladder fell on the chart recorder at some time in the past and broke the case. It looks as if originally there were three of the 2-banger sets. One was removed and the 5-banger O.P. (250kW) unit with it's control panel was installed in it's place. The control panel for the old removed genset is leaning against the wall in the back room. There is some surface rust on the rheostat housings, etc. but it looks to be only cosmetic. All of the control and power transformers are still in place (2200 Volt to 220 Volt 3-phase) and look to be serviceable. The coolant pumps and heat exchangers and all the plumbing are there. The older engines were cooled by heat exchange from a well. The O.P. unit has a radiator. The fuel day tanks , filters, etc. are there and may be useable. At this time, we have qualified parties interested in the gensets but won't know for sure if they will be taken until Board meetings are held to decide. The plan is to remove them some time in November. A barge will be chartered with a crane and can be floated to near the building at high tide. The plan is to load one or more semi flatbed trailers onto the barge and transfer the machinery to them after moving it outside the building. The trailers can most likely be hooked up and driven off the barge from the mainland dock. The O.P unit is on a skid and closest to the door and we hope to be able to skid it out with come alongs. The exciters, alternators, etc will be disassembled from the old units and we hope that we have enough muscle (moving gear) to be able to the engines (minus railings, etc.) in one piece. We are also hoping to get volunteer professional riggers to do the smart part of moving everything. The control panels and the alternator rotors should be crated and we need someone who knows how to get this done. There is some 120 Volt AC power in the building for lights and tools. Anyhoo, that's about it. We're really optimistic about saving this iron and, barring some bureaucratic snags, it should get done.

There was a good line up of IHC engines, tractors, trucks and implements. The weather was perfect (unusual for this rally). A few list members were present, Brad even brought his big 10hp M out of hiding and made the long trip down. Of course, as the feature was IHC I exhibited my Stover, Brock had his White and Gilson, Michael had a Witte & Cam had his Austral. The rest of the list members did manage to have IHC engines so that made up for us ;) The mighty YC Stover had its first failure after much running at rallies since its debut last December. It broke the return spring on the Webster ignitor. It is of course in a fiddly spot and the engine was very hot so it was not fun to replace. New spring in place and the engine was running again. The Webster gets a fairly hard time on the throttle governed engine as it is continually being tripped unlike on the hit and miss when it gets a bit of a break when the engine is missing. It was another fantastic weekend with nice engines and great people. I will hopefully have some pics up on my site on the weekend. I took over 400 photos so there is a lot to sort through.

I like the Australs and would love to trade for one. It doesn't appear I could afford the haul bill and associated headaches though to get one. I was telling a friend of mine a year or so ago that I might take a trip to an engine show in Australia some day. He asked how far away it was and I told him about 9000 miles. He said "WHEW, WHAT A DRIVE!". They haven't built the bridge yet though. Thanks again for posting the photos. Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY >Finally had a chance to sort through the over 400 pics I took.

As you guys know my truck was destroyed in a recent accident. I am now truck shopping for a good used truck. I have found a 3/4 Ton HD 2001 Chevrolet with the big engine in it, it is loaded, has a crew cab, has 87,000 miles on it, towing package, bedliner, etc. The man was asking $14,000 for it and has come down to $13,300. I ask him if he was the original owner and he said no. He told me he bought it from the man who had originally bought it and that this man was a pipeliner and used the truck to pull a mobile home from job to job. He put 20,000 miles on it and then this guy that has it now bought it. He has put 67,000 miles on it and he started out pulling a large camper trailer with it and then just used it for general transportation and pulling a 12' trailer with various things on it. My question is that this truck has spent most if it's life pulling loads, do you think that all of this pulling might have generated excessive wear in the drive train? According to Kelly Blue Book the truck is worth about $11,900 if one consumer buys it from another consumer, about a $1000.00 less if traded in.

Automatic transmission responded well in the Rockies. I have read tho that exh. manifolds have been known to crack...hopefully they got that prob fixed..to my knowledge, mine never did. You're talking crewcab and if it's a long box, well that's a pretty long truck for getting around town, i.e. parking lots, tight turns and such. I also concur..drivetrain should be fine. If automatic..smell the tranny fluid, you'll be able to tell if it's burnt. Gas mileage, I'd say not to expect any more than 15...probably less. 2wd or 4wd....2wd is fine on pavement. Hauling iron to shows..should be great..everyday get around town rig..naw Hope this helps a little and super happy your Grandson is OK!!! Regards, RickinMt.

It's a LT with all the toys, but the important part is ,it's been trouble free, gets 19+ MPG up hill/down hill with a 2000+Lb load in the back sometimes. The tranny is set up for towing heavy loads. The gas big block loves gas. Unless you have a need for it 'I'd pass on it. The standard 6.0 L will get the job done. If you can find one that was a "pet" pay a little more for it rather than a "Mule".

I think part of the problem was the 10 ply tires on the truck when I got it. Replaced them with something not so stiff and it does seem to grip better. As for parking lots you get used to backing into spaces. I must admit the ride quality on mine is GREAT! The only thing I really dislike about mine is the lack of 4wd. Maybe on the next truck......

Howard promotes what he calls Howard's Backyard Auto Body training. He is a professional paint and body man who loves to share his knowledge with others and he has assured me he would love to hear from all of the old engine collectors if you need advice on preparing and painting metal to include our old iron.

Mike and I conversed a lot by e-mail and by phone. I still have the engine, it is still setting where I put it the day I brought it home from Portland. Now everytime I look at it I will be reminded that it came from a good friend who has now gone to be with the Lord. May God grant you and your family a peace that surpasses all understanding as another of our beloved engine men has departed this life for one where there will be no suffering, no tears, no heartaches, just joy and peace.

B.A. is British Association. A standard for small threads, below about 1/4". Dates back to the 1800s, but the dimensions are actually metric-based. The thread profile is much narrower than Whitworth. Details are online on a bunch of sites, some of which have already been cited. Interestingly enough, the small screws on Mauser rifles are B.A., and the big threads on the barrel are Whitworth. The original machine tools Mauser Werke used came from England, and all subsequent Mauser licensees have stuck with the English thread standards. If anyone needs any B.A. #1 x 1" cheesehead screws or hex nuts, let me know. I had to order a pretty good bunch from http://britishfasteners.com/ to meet their minimum order when I tore up the funny looking round, slotted nut on the barrel band of my Czech-built M98/29 Persian Mauser.

Message-ID: <200609252048406.SM00316@new.databak.co.za> Hi Guys (especially the Aussies !) My 1928 Wolseley R Type is running well and I'm now on the "short strokes". Just need a bit of help and info. 1) Can anyone give me the measurements for the silencer (muffler) on a 6 H.P. model? The smaller version is 127mm diameter and I do not know if the 6 H.P. is the same or a larger diameter. I want to fabricate one (maybe just a false one as the engine runs very quietly just through a piece of 50mm pipe at the moment). If you have one or know of someone who has one I could mail a drawing showing which sizes I need. Thanks in advance. 2) I'm missing the "U" tube on the carburettor. The engine runs fine without it as this is just to bring in warm air from the exhaust side for the paraffin (Kerosene) and I have actually "disabled" the other parts of the carb that have to do with paraffin - it will in future only run on petrol (gas to the guys in the States). Purely for the sake of originality I'd like to get one - even if I end up hanging it on a chain from the carb (it would run too hot for petrol). Alternatively I'd block it off on the exhaust side and drill air intake holes in the back of it where they would be unseen. If anyone has a spare lying around in a box please let me have a price. Remember it is for the 6 H.P. model - I do not know if the smaller engines used the same size - a few measurements from me should be able to clear it up pretty quickly.

How they did it was for the author to send master copies to a volunteer in each region. The responsibility of the recipient in each region was to advertise the fact that they were making copies and send them to who ever wanted a copy in the region. Distribution worked quite well but it did take awhile for everyone to get a copy of the disk. Reimbursement was voluntary for costs. I don't recall how well the reimbursing went as I did much of the swapping by the barter system ( I sent a disk to you, you sent a disk on another subject back or to someone else). I was one of the volunteers. And, I offer my services again if it helps out. A policy has to be set up though so everyone knows what is going one.

If that were the case, then no 1 hour movie could fit onto a standard DVD. My recordings at "DVD quality" show more like 1.5 gig for 1 hour. Makes sense since you can get a 120+ minute high-definition movie on a single layer of a DVD. You can only get a file size of 4.38 gig on a standard DVD, so 30 minutes at a 5 gig file is a bit overkill. Typically, to record to DVD, you can get daything up to 6 hours or more depending on the quality you need. As a rough rule of thumb for various frame sizes (assuming a good MPEG encoder): Using 720 x 576/480 ('D1'), up to 2 hours at good > very good quality, up to 3 hours for average quality. Using 352 x 576/480 ('half D1'), up to 4 hours at good > average quality (the pictures will be softer overall due to the reduced horizontal resolution). So for very good quality, 30 minutes should take no more than about 1gig. I record at about 60 minutes to 1.2 gig or so. And on our high-def TV, it's quite good.

It took about twelve hours. Clearly, they have no standards. They?ll believe anything you tell them. You don?t need to be a director to upload videos under 10 minutes, but for your huge video, you?ll need the Director?s account. It?s all free.

Clem, I'll fess up to owning the Famous with rubber bands tensioning the governor! The engine, a 1907 IHC Famous sold as an Osborne, is mounted on a buzz saw rig and I had only finished putting the saw rig back together and getting it belted up the week before Portland. The springs that I had on the governor were a good tension for running the engine slow but I didn't have time to try a handful of springs to find the right combination of springs to run fast enough to saw. So, rubber bands were called into action and they did their job, they didn't look very pretty but they did their job :-)!

(See: http://engines.rustyiron.com/austral/ronaldsontippettaustral.jpg) I got home with the engine this afternoon. In all it was a 5,375 mile trip!

Rob was correct when he said that the engine was easy to start and ran like a top--we had it running at 68-70 RPM's most of the morning on Sunday! Tomorrow I'll see if I remember what Rob and Kelley taught me re: starting the engine!

Thanks for posting them again as I remember you showing these to us after the R-T Rally. You are peaking my interest in trying to get one of these. I have a question for you, why do some of the trucks (steel wheeled carts they are on) have cast iron wheels and others have flat steel spokes? Is there some significance for them to be one way or the other? On the one that Dave got, it has the flat steel spokes. On your engine it has the cast iron wheels. From looking at the SN's, it looks like the difference doesn't correspond to the dates of manufacture. Thanks!

My son (Todd) and I ran the engine for about a half an hour today. We couldn't get the revs under 100. If we did for one or two hits the engine would then stop. When I picked the engine up in KA a week ago Rob and Kelley had it running about 70 RPM's. Granted it was 80 degrees and sunny in KA and 55 degrees and damp here. However, there was no water in the engine (or at least I think there was no water in it--none drained from the pipe at the bottom of the water tank) and I would have thought a half hours running would have warmed it up sufficiently to get the speed down under 100 revs. I had the burner I'm using in place of the lamp on both here and in KA the whole time while running the engine. Perhaps it was not on high enough here. I'll try more heat tomorrow when Arnie is here and see if that helps. I'd like to get it running at 69 revs so that I can really call it MY engine!
