Dave From FRM8198 at aol.com Thu Feb 1 18:35:44 2007 From: FRM8198 at aol.com (FRM8198 at aol.com) Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 21:35:44 EST Subject: [SEL] - Sattley Status Message-ID: Several years ago, I obtained this Sattley hit and miss engine with a stuck piston. With several excellent suggestions provided by several list members, I was able to remove the piston using the grease pump method. Sadly, I put this engine aside and started to work on other projects. Recently, my son started to inquire about this Sattley. At that time, I decided to get this engine running. Well, that day arrived today. I was able to get the engine to run. Now that I have the engine running, I found that the mixer adjustment is very sensitive. After inspecting the needle valve, I noticed it was some what rough. I fabricated a jig so I could reform the needle valve 30 degree point on my belt grinder. After this rework was completed, I was to run the engine again. However, the needle valve adjustment is still sensitive. The end of the throttle valve that goes in the intake looks as if it was brazed closed and then a small hole was drilled. The needle valve point mates internally with this hole. Is this sensitive needle valve adjustment condition normal?

When I told her, however, that the eight cents a pound that I paid you for the engine did not include the cost of transpiration, she agreed that your offer is too low! I've thought about filling the tank up here in PA, but am a bit worried about that much weight in the tank as it bounces all the way to FL. Additionally, I will be running the engine 8 hours a day for 5 days (Wed.- Sun.) I'm not sure that the kerosene will last that long. I know that I can get 8 hours on a gal. of gasoline in the Galloway--but the Austral hits about 3 times as often as the Galloway! Dave PS, Peter, a 2' X 3' Australian flag has been ordered. It will fly proudly over the Austral at Zolfo and each time thereafter that the engine goes to a show! (Good to have you back, by the way!)

Moving? Make that running.... Me? White umpteenth-generation Brit with French connections in the 17th century. My Uncle, decorated three times for bravery, gave his life so that those who survived him could have a 'free' country to live in. His charred remains must be doing 3,600 RPM by now. I am all for trying to get along, but I am rapidly losing faith in our system here in the UK. It disadvantages the law-abiding and decent and enfranchises the idle and neerdowells. At the risk of offending, it matters not a jot to me what colour an individual's skin is, or what deity they worhsip (or don't). What IS important is that that individual take responsibility for their actions and seek to do right by their community. I think, if you were to ask the average Brit right now, "Do you think the Law is on your side?", the answer would tend more to No than to Yes. This includes us white European immigrants.

The recent changes (ie putting the tractors under the trees and splitting the engine display area into two separated sections) were to be on a trial basis only. Now reconsideration is going to take place and we are being asked for our input. I will forward to the individual asking for our input anything (good, bad, or ugly) that is sent to the List, or to me directly. (rotigel at alltel.net) So what is it? Do you like the tractors under the trees and engines in two separate areas, or was the old set up better? Or is there some other way that will make the show an even better one than it already is?

Dave, I have never been to Portland, but will add my .02 worth. Example is Rough and Tumble show at Kinsers, Pa. that I went to for a number of years. Engine folks cleaned and planted trees in their area. Trees grew. Engine folks cleaned up one end. Engine folks cleaned up other end. Tractor folks took over one whole end without even asking. Engine folks were told to keep out campers, etc. Engine folks told to keep out trucks. Engine folks for the most part ran engines all day and where there to answer any spectator questions and talk about the great hobby of collecting engines, and had a nice shady area in which to do this.

"The splitting of the engines exhibitors did two negative things. (This applies to the engine folk.) Firstly, it ruined the getting together of like minded friends, many of whom only get to meet once a year. Many of those who were relocated to the 'New' area commplained to me about the lack of viewers through their area. the partial isolation detracted from their enjoyment of the event. Indeed, more than one stared they would not make the effort to attend in future. Many of the tractor owners were not impressed with being in the tree area as tree dwellers were causing droppings, etc. on their pride and joys. My personalopinion is that the show is spoiled for me by this change. The Big engines, ATIS, and all the other engine folk are happier being all together in the same grouping. This allows for a lot more 'getting together'. I am sure this must also apply to the tractor owners. One further point I will make is that this show had become the biggest ENGINE show in the world.AND was known as this, worldwide.NOT the 'biggest show' or a major tractor show The last two years have changed this. . I have come halfway round the world to attend four times now. I do not have the urge at present to come again, the new setup definitely detracted from my enjoyment of the event." Reg Ingold.

The wooded area, while it provides some shade, doesn't have as thick an undergrowth and the grass is rather sparse in patches. The tractors work up a lot more dust than the other area did. Also, the gent who had the $2000 clear coat finish paint job on his H Farmall wasn't too happy when one of the squirrels let a nut fall out of the top of one of the trees and it put a nice blemish on the tank of that immaculate paint job. He told me he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't been sitting on the seat when it happened. My vote is for a return to the old set up but I can live with either.

I feel spectators who go to see the activities would be better served by being in the shade. The engine folks would also be in the shade. Many tractors were unattended most of the show. I prefer the shade for the engines with them all in one area Thanks for your efforts.

The size tank that Paul has would hold probably 15 gallons full, probably 10 to 12 in a working capacity. The water jacket on your engine will probably hold about 7 to 10 gallons so the tank would allow twice the capacity of your jacket. I think the primary issue would be the size of the tank in comparison to your 20 HP Reid. I bid on Paul's tank and I thought I might try to use it on a 6 HP engine. But, it might work well for what you need also. Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY > Larry, > I would say yes. Our 15 Hp Reid runs cooler than our 22 1/2 > Bessemer and both have a thermosyphon setups.

Not only does it break up the continuity, it almost strands some of the exhibitors in the north area. It was certainly dishartening to many of those who had to exhibit out there and I am wondering if some of them will come back. Many tractors just sit there lonely without anyone looking at them or tending to them. I usually walk through and look at the tractors, but I don't care where they are.

It is probably too short a tank for a 20HP Reid to look proportioned. Also getting the tank shipped would cost more than the tank is worth if I had to ship across the border. I'll not bid on it Tommy. Probably a tank which would hold 25 or 30 gal. would look better on my engine and would be sure to have adaquate cooling capabilities. Larry. Judge Tommy Turner wrote: Larry, I think it would work as long as you're just running the engine. The size tank that Paul has would hold probably 15 gallons full, probably 10 to 12 in a working capacity. The water jacket on your engine will probably hold about 7 to 10 gallons so the tank would allow twice the capacity of your jacket. I think the primary issue would be the size of the tank in comparison to your 20 HP Reid. I bid on Paul's tank and I thought I might try to use it on a 6 HP engine.

When we moved to our own grounds, we had engine display area in the woods and also some out in the open, without shade. The shaded areas were much more popular and the open area has since been taken over by tractor folks. For the folks who are on the list and have not been to Portland, I want to tell you that it is worth the trip. I had not been there in years and showed up with an engine and an old gummer. Dave, Arnie, Steve Barr and the other SEL folks sure made us feel welcome. So many folks to visit with, so many nice things to see. My buddy still comments that the best looking gals at the show were in the SEL area. Of course, being married, I didn't notice....

If anyone needs a whiskey barrel, I think I can help them out. We make a lot of that stuff around here (legally too!). There is a cooperage near me that makes new ones or I can get those that have aged for 8 years or so full of whiskey. The ones that have been aged have been charred on the inside but the new ones wouldn't be. I got a used one a few years ago for an engine project and sandblasted the interior to remove as much of the char as possible. I think the new barrels run about $200. The used ones are around $25 I think (sorry, they're empty).

I think as long as you had a circulating pump with a screen on top, you could make it work for the Reid. I used to have a gent near me who was one of the old time sheet metal workers. He would use the big rivets to put the tanks together and then put a heavy solder seam to seal them up. But, he retired and there's no one around to do that sort of work now. Here is the type tanks he would make for me. This one he made for my 4 HP Callahan. I still have the bill on it, $28. Boy, I wished he was still in business! I would bet this tank would cost over $100 to have someone else make it now. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=30138400&p=75272337 http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=30138400&p=75272338&f=0 Here is the one he made for the Miami. It was bigger than the Callahan tank and he charged me $40 for it. You can see the heavy rivets at the seam in the back. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=31374063&p=70276004 Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY Larry Anger wrote: >Tommy - I saw that you had bid on the tank.

Nice fella And I am buying an engine from his collection, and am wandering about any list members would be in the. Cold springs area of PA heading west southwest towards western KY tennesee southern missouri, or any where in this general direction. That could help if only a couple hundred miles . The engine weighs I say good guess, 250 # and can be moved around by one person. I belive Richard said loading would be no problem. I will have to get back with him about all that. There is no hurry on this. If anyone can help I will make it worth your time out of the way and gas.

That's not very safe. Using this picture for a reference this is what I think would work: http://www.oldengine.org/members/luket/portland/portlandlayout.jpg I think the engines should be placed back under the trees where they were before. All the tractors could be placed to the east end of the grounds. Room could be made for them by placing some of the parts area where the new engine area is. This would allow all the tractors acess to the field, engines to be together and under the trees, and the entire north portion of the grounds would be for selling stuff.

Not only did I hear the engine folks complaining about the current split of the engine areas, I heard many spectators express dissatisfaction with the arrangement too.

The water hoppers on the 12 HP Herc and 16 HP Galloway are large enough that pesky little Maytags can be placed inside them and they can be snuck into shows. Once admitted to the grounds by unsuspecting gate superintendents, he unleashes the little coughing, smokey terrors on his fellow engine enthusiasts and spectators. doG only know how many he has tucked in that new Austral. Yah know that story he was making up about not wanting to travel with kero in the fuel tank? Ohhhh..... that's so he can hide yet another Maytag somewhere. The show organizers of Zolfo need to be forewarned of this menace before another environmental nightmare occurs in south central Florida.

Now reconsideration is going >> to take place and we are being asked for our input. Four years ago I was moved from the location with which I had been for the past 10 -15 years. I went into the newly expanded area and loved my new location and would go back to it in a second! Then we got moved again this time into the new area... I know that I could have set anywhere I wanted to as I am in Portland in plenty of time to do so, so this decision to go into the new area was "MY" doing. The first year many many people could not even find the engins in this area as parking for the vendors was in front of the exhibit area. We had no known water access nor anywhere close to obtain water or snacks in this area. (The horse people do not count as I will die before supporting any of them.) I spoke that I would give it another year with some changes, which some where made, and this was last year. At this moment I will be located some where close to where I want or I can pack the few old chunks of rust I bring and go back home. See I know that Portland is big enough that my leaving will not affect them and I know someone else will fill the spot with which I would leave open, But they might miss some of the volunteer help I have always tried to provide and that this is what will affect the Portland show. I provide my own porta-trees and only ask for enough earth to set and run an engin or two or what ever for the length of the show, and I go to bed each night praying to get me back to just one more "PORTLAND" but maybe I need to change my prayers.

Possibly because it was so far from all the food and drink stands????? Also, it was not well signed, and with a big sprawling area such as the Portland showground, it would be easy to miss that area of engines altogether. Certainly, it was a long way to go when someone said "Hey did you see THAT engine?" I noticed when we were last there, in 2004, that very few of the engines in the far area were running, and many did not have their owners with them - maybe they'd gone to get food / see the rest of the engines, which would take a lot longer than if the engines were all in the same area. As everyone else has noted, the tractor owners generally don't stay with their exhibits and are not available to talk to visitors, with the notable exception of the owners of the John Deere, running on Coke bottles!!!! In 2004, we were talking to Leroy about the lack of visitors in the far area, and he was keeping count, so his comments and figures would be well worth passing on to the Portland Directors. It's good that they are prepared to listen to the comments of exhibitors and are willing to make changes to improve the show.

All the engines were in one place which helped the spectators and exhibitors. The tractors provided no working displays and were basically left unattended. So why did they need the shade anyhow? There was actually empty space under the trees in the tractor area. People ended up parking in this area. If some of the exhibitors didn't have shade, at least some cars and trailers did!

To set the record straight, George Best delivered my 16 HP Galloway to Portland for me in 1999. By the time Arnie and I arrived at Portland someone had put a magnetic MAYTAG sign on it's hopper. That year a MAYTAG muffler flex pipe was also seen coming out of the water hopper of the Galloway. I then restored the Galloway (See: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/trailer/16_GallowayTrailer/index.html) The next year (2000) I took the restored engine to Portland and put the magnetic MAYTAG sign back on it from time to time (See: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/Portland_2000/ ) To the best of my knowledge The magnetic MAYTAG sign has never been on the 12 HP TG Hercules that I used to own (I could be wrong about this however.) If either of you have pictures I would like to see them. I understand from reading that I've done that after smoking several joints one's perception of reality and their ability to differentiate between red and green is somewhat diminished. In the future please remember that Hercules engines are GREEN and Galloway engines are RED! Dave PS, In 2003 I put that damn MAYTAG sign on e-bay and got $245.00 for it!

Gatewood has run for Governor (three times), Congress, Attorney General and Commissioner of Agriculture. He's run as an Independent, Dem. and under the Reform Party's banner. While he's never won, he has run some respectable campaigns as he still has the distinction of being the third highest Reform Party vote getter in America (Ross Perot was first and Jesse Ventura was second) during his '99 run for KY Governor. He runs on a platform of legalizing Marijuana. I was reading his book the other night and he talks about the first time he took LSD. He said it opened his eyes to the world and changed his perspective on life. He said he began to realize that there was some profound unexplained matters on this earth..... like, is yellow really the best color for bananas? There are 10 running for Governor in KY this year and the votes will be split wide open. Depending on how many folks out there like to smoke a joint, you never know. This time next year we may be talking about "Governor Gatewood".

As a tractor guy I think I might put in a nickles worth of input. I am one of the few tractor guys that RUNS his 'engine with wheels' at Portland. I have plowed every year we were able to and ran the buzz saw via belt with my tractor all week last year!! (-; Great fun!! With the new set up the tractors are out back by the new ground the club bought so we can plow and maybe do other things one day. Also it is a direct path to the race track for the tractor parade they have started to have on Saturday. I would not even try to get to either the plow area or the race tack on Friday or Saturday from the old area due to the crowds walking in the roadways. The shaded area that was engine land is used only by the 'feature 'tractors of the show. They could be moved out with the rest of the tractors in my opinion. The club bought 50 acres out there I think - plenty of room. The only part of the shaded area that maybe the engine folks might not get back would be a section back by the new tractor area that the saw mill could be set up in . That would give a little shade to those that want to set and watch the mill in action. At a 'perfect' show the engines that can't move need shade. The tractors that can move ( at least those that have owners like me) need room to play. Portland's only like 6 months away, I can't wait!!!!

Looks like it is. The tank could potentially hold more than this. But, you're not going to be able to run it at 100% capacity (10% of it would slosh out with the engine running) so I used 90%. I did a calculation a couple of nights ago and came up with something like 15 gallons but looking at the calculator, I think I know what I did wrong. There are two ways to figure volume in a cylindrical tank. One uses the diameter and the other uses the radius. I think I typed in the radius (10 inches) when I should have typed in the diameter. Using the radius gives a volume of 14 gallons. Using the diameter gives a volume of 54 (both of these at 100%). Didn't realize that a few inches could make such a difference.....

I had my first engine in the back of the Dodge truck, a 3HP Jaeger, that several of us had to manually unload from the truck to display in the show area. Didn't know a soul there, had never even heard of the SEL, and didn't join "the group" when invited to the Log Inn for dinner on Sat. evening (only year missed). Missy and I both laughed at the funny Maytag sign on the huge beast of a green engine there. As I recall we later learned it was a 12HP Hercules and some guy named Dave Rotigel owned it. We never did meet you at that show. We were taken under the wing by Jim & MaryAnna White, Charlie Bryant and a few others from St. Louis area and spent most of the weekend with them. Admittedly that is a lot of years ago and we were real green to the hobby, but that is my recollection of a Maytag sign on your big green Hercules. I'm thinking that was the anniversary year of Herc/Econ engines and there were 5, 12HP Hercs there. Again, the memory is fuzzy. Perhaps it IS what I have smoked :-) Curt Dave Rotigel wrote: > Hi Curt and Mark, > I sure as hell hope that whatever you two are smoking is > good--because you must have consumed a lot of it!

The tank dimensions are 20" by 42". I wasn't sure if it was 20" ID measure or 20" OD. If you'll notice, it has a rolled lip, about 1/4 inch. To be on the safe side, I assumed 20" OD measure (at the top) minus 1/2 inch (for the rolled lip) which makes an ID of 19 1/2. It may be 20" ID but as I said, I wanted to be on the safe side. Put in the calculations and 19 1/2 by 42 gives you 54.3 gallons. An old engine tank won't hold 100% of its volume (your going to slosh out a bit of it) so I figured about 90% actual water in the tank which equates to slightly less than 50 gallons for engine running purposes. Not sure if 19.5 should be used or 20, it depends on how John W. measured and rolled the material. On the tanks that I've had made, the guy always uses OD as if I told him a tank had to be 24 inches and he used ID, then once he's finished, with a rolled lip, etc, it actually covers about 25 inches. If its to fit into a base or tight quarters, it could be trouble.

I know it will hold a lot more than 15 gallons. >Paul >Hi Paul and All I get the digest version of the SEL so this question has already been answered by others but here is the formula for volume. (This is for a cylinder - a rectangular tank is easier) Volume= Area x height (or depth) Area (of a circle) = pi x radius squared. (Sorry this is not how it's usually written but I dunno how to put that little superscript "2" up there with this keyboard :-)) So you just work out the area of the cylinder base and multiply it by the height (or depth) and the result will be the volume (in whatever units you are using). O.K. - I know most of you already know this but the reason for this post is just to re-introduce you to a small free programme that I use (and posted to the list a year or so back). It is called "Convert.exe" and is very useful to convert almost any unit of measurement to almost any other unit of measurement. (Like 57 USGallons to 47.46241 English Gallons to 215.7685 Litres). The writers blurb states "Convert is an easy to use unit conversion program that will convert the most popular units of distance, temperature, volume, time, speed, mass, power, density, pressure, energy and many others, including the ability to create custom conversions! " It will not calculate the volume for you but makes it easier for people like me to figure out that 57 USGallons is about 215 litres - that way I know what you're talking about. It's a really great little programme and does not even need to be "installed" in windows. You just click on the .exe file and away it goes. It is available as a free download here: I hope you find it useful. Best regards Jerry Evans.

I think that I have sent you all proofs of the artwork. If I missed anyone please let me know. I've done a few of them but have just got in a very big order for signs (my "earn a living" business - the one that allows me to mess around with old engines - spec plates are part of the hobby) so have had to put everything else on hold for another week or so. If anyone desperately needs their plates please let me know and I'll make a plan.

Some of you folks might remember that my brother and I got hold of an early 1-1/2hp IHC M engine a few years ago in anything but running condition. It was missing a lot of parts and had some rather interesting field modifications. We have slowly been collecting what we need and this past spring and summer got it cleaned up and running again. I took quite a few pictures during the restoration and have added some of them to the original page regarding this engine. These pictures are not meant to be a lesson in how to restore an engine but more of a resource for someone working with a similar one. Follow the links at the bottom of this page to see the new pictures. http://www.oldengine.org/members/levans/ihm/ Regards, Larry Evans Arcadia, Southern California, USA MailTo:LFEVANS at pacbell.net http://www.oldengine.org/members/levans/ From shop at cccomm.net Fri Feb 9 14:31:30 2007 From: shop at cccomm.net (Dave Ernst) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 14:31:30 -0800 Subject: [SEL] Fairbanks Morse T References: <20070209.090146.1120.0.rdhaskell@juno.com> Message-ID: <006301c74c9a$0bd8ca60$6501a8c0@YOURA8CFD79427> Hey, thanks you guys Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [SEL] Fairbanks Morse T > That should make it 1908. > > Ron Haskell > rdhaskell at juno.com > Riverside, California > USA > http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumList?u=3009370&f=0 > > On Fri, 9 Feb 2007 07:02:03 -0800 "Dave Ernst" writes: >> The number is 74899 >> >> Thanks > _______________________________________________ > SEL mailing list > SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com > http://www.stationary-engine.com/mailman/listinfo/sel > > From sluggo54 at hotmail.com Fri Feb 9 15:40:10 2007 From: sluggo54 at hotmail.com (Bruce Younger) Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2007 17:40:10 -0600 Subject: [SEL] Sorry In-Reply-To: <200702091700.l19H06UE025786@heavyiron.atis.net> Message-ID: Sorry for the boneheaded, non-truncated reply yesterday, folks.

If anyone is interested, before we put it on ebay, drop me an email offlist or onlist if you prefer, the return email address is valid and free from spamtraps. The CD-1000 is 2.1mp, stores images on 3" CD's in the camera and it has a very nice zoom lens of 10X Optical and 20X digital. Each CD is 156mb capacity, the camera has a Tamrac System 3 bag with it, 2 spare batteries, lens filters, driver software and manual on CD plus AV and USB cables. Good review here: http://www.steves-digicams.com/cd1000.html The camera is in the USA at present (AZ, 85297) shipping with insurance would be about $20-$25.

We use that process a lot now and find that it does keep rust away for ever, even on items that are outdoors 24/7 like the trailer.

The cart certainly looks like its of Australian origin (reminds me of the Austral carts, very heavy duty). The engine is a heavy hunk of iron as well. It looks just the opposite of engines here in the US. Often rusty on the outside but not real bad on the inside. The baby you photograph doesn't look so rough on the outside, but sure looks crusty on the inside (crank, governor, gearing, etc.). The upright is another one that I've never seen before (probably one just like it in the shed across the road though..... I say this because just when you think you've never seen one before, two will show up at the next engine show or swap meet).

Try buying 4 million pounds of copper every month and see what that does to your cash flow. A few years ago we were buying copper for .97 per pound. At the peak is was over $3 a pound. Now it's back around $2. Our cash flow went from needing 4 million $ every month to 12 million $ almost overnight. THAT will crimp your style! What's sad is that the coil makers were making coils from copper bought at a buck a pound and they continued to sell at the old price even though the metal cost was three times that. Now that inventories have run out they are getting a bit of a shock when they go to replace that wire. Ouch!

I don't think you can forge weld cast iron and also, when I look at the ends of the spokes as they poke through the rim, it appears they have been hammered over like rivets to hold the spokes to the rim. Cast iron doesn't respond well to being hammered. It will shatter rather than spread. All this is speculation on my part as I am no expert.

You asked about why not casting the rim......it is a durability and cost issue. Picture the kind of ruts and logs these engine carts were pulled over a 100 years ago. Steel rims would flex and bend a little and continue on. Occasional corrections with a hammer would make it all good again. Cast rims are brittle and the only solution is to beef the thickness up considerably to compensate and this drove the cost sky high. Cast iron must have been cheap in Oz as you see a lot of large cast rimmed wheels there. Looking at your wheels I think I see the remnants of a single large hot rivet in the center of the hammer weld. I've not seen this before as most are simply hammer welded only. A while back I was contemplating making some wheels from scratch as I couldn't seem to find a pair of 24" Hercules cart wheels after looking a couple of years. Dug up some articles on the manufacturing method as I was convinced the steel spokes were cast into the hub. Sure enough that was the case. It seems the green sand molds would not support the spokes well enough so they developed water cooled D2 steel cavity dies to pour the cast iron into. (You'd think they would have used H13). As I recall when IHC moved away from the knobby style wheel hub to the zigzig style they incorporated this steel cavity die molding method. The spokes were upset (forged) with a "mushroom" on the hub end and a flange on the other end about a 1/2" back from the end. The spokes were populated into the open hub casting mold, the mold closed, and the cast iron poured in. The rims were made from flat stock and in the case of your rims were hot rolled thru a set of rollers to create the sunken area. Spoke holes were punched at the correct interval along the proper length piece of steel. Then they were cold rolled on a 3 roll rolling machine into a slightly larger than needed circle. The hub/spoke assy was married to the rim and the rim was closed until it bottomed on all the spoke flanges. The rim was then hammer welded. Then they had a machine they put the wheel assembly in and it gripped/supported the back of the flange on the spoke and a "hammer" device that looked a lot like a chisel came out and hammered the end of the spoke, spreading it flat to retain the rim. This chisel tool rotated as it hammered, leaving the surface with a radial pattern of lines across the face. If you are lucky enough to find some really nice old wheels you can still see this pattern. Glad you found some wheels. What are you going to use for a 5th wheel? If you make one from scratch make sure the front axle assy can pivot side to side, otherwise uneven ground will put tremendous loads on your engine base casting and possibly break it. I've been thinking about making a couple of patterns for a generic 5th wheel for small carts (8 or10" wheels). Missy's New Way engine needs a cart. I have some nice cast wheels but don't have the 5th wheel yet. I kind of like the design of the Rock Island cart fifth wheel system.

Look at the metal closely and see if you can see what looks like layering of the metal. A sure sign of wrought. You see wheels made like this more often then you might think. Most folks just don't notice the lapped forged seam. Or if they do notice don't give it a second thought after deciding they are not cracks.

The show/swap area covers about twice the area it did 12 years ago and the improved camping area is about twice as large as well. I expect the show will remain roughly the size it is for a few years so the club can plan on the same level of participation. I would like to see the engine display area unified under the trees on the fairgrounds. I would move the feature tractors to the east with the rest of the tractors. The new tractor area and east part of the vendor area could be vastly improved with the care the parking lot and older vendor area receive, incuding planting some trees. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Brice On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Dave Rotigel wrote: > Any more opinions on the Portland setup?

Get a Bosch (or similar) relay from a newer car, they are used for accesories. On the side of it you will see a wiring diagram with numbers 30, 87, 87a,85, 86. You will need a auto coil and condenser. Connect a wire from terminal 85 to the coil positve side. Connect another wire from terminal 86 to coil negative. Connect a wire from coil negative to terminal 30. Connect terminal 87a to contact points on engine and from there to battery negative. Connect condenser between terninals 30 and87a It should be ready to fire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Scales" To: "'The SEL email discussion list'" Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 1:38 AM Subject: RE: [SEL] Low Tension Coils > I'd be interested in the recipe, for sure.

Just take the solenoid apart down to the coil itself. You can either use the original plunger for a core or, better, get a roll of soft iron (mechanic's wire) and cut a bundle of strands that will just fit inside the coil, long enough to stick out about an inch at both ends. If you use a 12-Volt solenoid, it should work fine on either 6V or 12V. If you want to make an authentic looking one, use the wire of of a solenoid to wind it.

We would like to find a manual for it plus we would like to know if a connecting rod bearing shell is still available and where from. I think the cause of the problem is the oil dip tube is missing but I'm not sure. A picture or a sketch of the dip tube would be a big help too. The specs are as follows: From the engine name plate: No. 66597 Spec no.

References: Message-ID: <01c801c75604$33b13d60$6a00a8c0@yourvp7x3s9ctm> Hi Bill, I made a battery box several years ago. I did not have any nice hinges handy so I made a sliding lid that I fir up to give a real nice fit. Worked great here in Hemet which is hot and dry with low humidity, took it to a show by the coast and could hardly get it open. I think this is why sliding lids are almost never seen Jim Jim and Diane Hemet, CA , U.S.A. jd.kirkes at verizon.net ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [SEL] Questions on Battery box I built for a Hit and Miss engine.

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20070226191236.00ad8b80@mail.cyberserv.co.za> Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I've (at last) started etching the outstanding orders for brass spec. plates. I did the first few last night and will do more tonight. To those of you who have outstanding orders with me - thanks for all of your patience - as mentioned about 3 weeks ago I've been under a lot of pressure from work since November but, although I still have a lot of work on hand, I've got a chance to do some of the etching in between. Hopefully I will have caught up within the next 2 weeks. I think that I have sent artwork proofs to everyone who contacted me but if I've missed anyone please contact me off list and I'll send them to you. I have done all the artwork for all outstanding orders. (except that Novo - it'll happen soon) I've just finished a big (for me) signage job for Sandstone Estates so thought that I would put up a webpage to show you guys what I do for a living (My Daytime Job). I often wonder what line other members are in so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. How about some of you letting the rest of the list what you do in real life? Maybe a webpage or even just a post to the list. I've put a page here: Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. Tel.

The guy on the ladder is a private contractor and you will notice he is alone up there - he did not ask his staff to go up there with him. Also this was done on a farm - far away from prying eyes. He would never get away with it if doing the same thing regularly in an urban area :-) Fortunately for him (and most other sign riggers) it is a case of work here today and somewhere else tomorrow. He has been doing this job for over 30 years and uses a mountaineers harness or a "bosun's chair" on high rise buildings with safety harnesses and the like. This job was a "low risk" one as far as he was concerned - only 9 metres from the ground ! He has only fallen once from about 12 metres when a ladder collapsed - a few cracked a few ribs and a bit of damage to his pelvis when he hit the bottom of the ladder. He was back on the job within 10 days, crutches and all. These guys are a breed of their own. Your catering site looks good.

Very economical. You could do the same for your hood. Food for thought, my hood has a fine wire mesh that protects the glass. Yes it cuts some light out, but it sure keeps the glass clear.

If so, I get Warp's Flex-o-Glass at our farm supply store and cut it to size. It is relatively cheap. It can be held in place with tape. I use Scotch double-stick on my bead blasting cabinet windows. If your viewing window didn't have a cover, you can get a replacement polycarbonate shield at your welding supply store and cut it to size. After you've done that, tape a throw-away layer on top of it. Regards, Orrin Orrin Iseminger Colton, Washington, USA http://users.moscow.com/oiseming/lc_ant_p/menu.htm So many projects.

To make the lense last longer, I cover the bottom half with duct tape. When I can't see through the top half, I peel the tape off and look through the bottom half. It is a good idea to wear ear plugs and a good mask. A dust mask is not enough to catch the fines, a respirator is best. Silicosis is a nasty disease, and once you realize you aren't bullet proof, it is too late.

My previous business was a plastic supply house and we supplied a lot of material for sandblasting cabinets as well as goggles. Quite a few people have mentioned "Plexiglas". Plexiglas is a trade name for acrylic sheet (polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) (I cannot remember who's but it may be Rohm & Haas) and is the same material as "Perspex" (which is I.C.I's trade name). Although this does work, it is not the ideal material as it is very hard and scratches very easily. We always supplied Polycarbonate (PC) (Peter Forbes mentioned Makrolon which is a trade name for polycarbonate as is Lexan). PC is much stronger than acrylic but also a bit softer and is better at resisting scratches from stuff like sandblast grit. It will also get to the stage that it needs replacement but will last longer than acrylic. This was available as a .5mm (half a millimetre) sheet that you could cut with a good strong pair of scissors or snips and we supplied this for goggles. Another material we used to supply for the goggles was rigid P.V.C (Polyvinylchloride). The rigid variety used to be called uPVC - the small "u" meaning it was unplasticised. I'm not sure if clear rigid uPVC is still available but is was available in thinner sheets which could be cut with normal scissors. It was used extensively for vacuum forming (like the clear plastic blister stapled to a piece of card that holds a product on display in a shop). It was not as good as polycarbonate but much cheaper and easier to cut. Someone mentioned a motorcycle shop - the motocross riders use a pair of goggles with tearaway strips over the lens - when they splash through mud they rip the next layer off -mud and all. I do not know if they would work for sandblasting but it sounds like a good idea. After we sold the business in 1986 my partner moved to Fort Smith in Arkansas and opened the same type of business there under the same name (Mr. Plastic). I do not know where you are in relation to him but he would be able to help. His name is Eugene Snyman tel. toll free 877-MrPlastic. I got out of plastics at that time but he is still involved and would be able to advise. If anyone does talk to him - Say Hi from Jerry in S.A.

With several excellent suggestions provided by several list members, I was able to remove the piston using the grease pump method. Sadly, I put this engine aside and started to work on other projects. Recently, my son started to inquire about this Sattley. At that time, I decided to get this engine running. Well, that day arrived today. I was able to get the engine to run. Now that I have the engine running, I found that the mixer adjustment is very sensitive. After inspecting the needle valve, I noticed it was some what rough. I fabricated a jig so I could reform the needle valve 30 degree point on my belt grinder. After this rework was completed, I was to run the engine again. However, the needle valve adjustment is still sensitive. The end of the throttle valve that goes in the intake looks as if it was brazed closed and then a small hole was drilled. The needle valve point mates internally with this hole. Is this sensitive needle valve adjustment condition normal?

When I told her, however, that the eight cents a pound that I paid you for the engine did not include the cost of transpiration, she agreed that your offer is too low! I've thought about filling the tank up here in PA, but am a bit worried about that much weight in the tank as it bounces all the way to FL. Additionally, I will be running the engine 8 hours a day for 5 days (Wed.- Sun.) I'm not sure that the kerosene will last that long. I know that I can get 8 hours on a gal. of gasoline in the Galloway--but the Austral hits about 3 times as often as the Galloway! Dave PS, Peter, a 2' X 3' Australian flag has been ordered. It will fly proudly over the Austral at Zolfo and each time thereafter that the engine goes to a show! (Good to have you back, by the way!)

Moving? Make that running.... Me? White umpteenth-generation Brit with French connections in the 17th century. My Uncle, decorated three times for bravery, gave his life so that those who survived him could have a 'free' country to live in. His charred remains must be doing 3,600 RPM by now. I am all for trying to get along, but I am rapidly losing faith in our system here in the UK. It disadvantages the law-abiding and decent and enfranchises the idle and neerdowells. At the risk of offending, it matters not a jot to me what colour an individual's skin is, or what deity they worhsip (or don't). What IS important is that that individual take responsibility for their actions and seek to do right by their community. I think, if you were to ask the average Brit right now, "Do you think the Law is on your side?", the answer would tend more to No than to Yes. This includes us white European immigrants.

The recent changes (ie putting the tractors under the trees and splitting the engine display area into two separated sections) were to be on a trial basis only. Now reconsideration is going to take place and we are being asked for our input. I will forward to the individual asking for our input anything (good, bad, or ugly) that is sent to the List, or to me directly. (rotigel at alltel.net) So what is it? Do you like the tractors under the trees and engines in two separate areas, or was the old set up better? Or is there some other way that will make the show an even better one than it already is?

Dave, I have never been to Portland, but will add my .02 worth. Example is Rough and Tumble show at Kinsers, Pa. that I went to for a number of years. Engine folks cleaned and planted trees in their area. Trees grew. Engine folks cleaned up one end. Engine folks cleaned up other end. Tractor folks took over one whole end without even asking. Engine folks were told to keep out campers, etc. Engine folks told to keep out trucks. Engine folks for the most part ran engines all day and where there to answer any spectator questions and talk about the great hobby of collecting engines, and had a nice shady area in which to do this.

"The splitting of the engines exhibitors did two negative things. (This applies to the engine folk.) Firstly, it ruined the getting together of like minded friends, many of whom only get to meet once a year. Many of those who were relocated to the 'New' area commplained to me about the lack of viewers through their area. the partial isolation detracted from their enjoyment of the event. Indeed, more than one stared they would not make the effort to attend in future. Many of the tractor owners were not impressed with being in the tree area as tree dwellers were causing droppings, etc. on their pride and joys. My personalopinion is that the show is spoiled for me by this change. The Big engines, ATIS, and all the other engine folk are happier being all together in the same grouping. This allows for a lot more 'getting together'. I am sure this must also apply to the tractor owners. One further point I will make is that this show had become the biggest ENGINE show in the world.AND was known as this, worldwide.NOT the 'biggest show' or a major tractor show The last two years have changed this. . I have come halfway round the world to attend four times now. I do not have the urge at present to come again, the new setup definitely detracted from my enjoyment of the event." Reg Ingold.

The wooded area, while it provides some shade, doesn't have as thick an undergrowth and the grass is rather sparse in patches. The tractors work up a lot more dust than the other area did. Also, the gent who had the $2000 clear coat finish paint job on his H Farmall wasn't too happy when one of the squirrels let a nut fall out of the top of one of the trees and it put a nice blemish on the tank of that immaculate paint job. He told me he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't been sitting on the seat when it happened. My vote is for a return to the old set up but I can live with either.

I feel spectators who go to see the activities would be better served by being in the shade. The engine folks would also be in the shade. Many tractors were unattended most of the show. I prefer the shade for the engines with them all in one area Thanks for your efforts.

The size tank that Paul has would hold probably 15 gallons full, probably 10 to 12 in a working capacity. The water jacket on your engine will probably hold about 7 to 10 gallons so the tank would allow twice the capacity of your jacket. I think the primary issue would be the size of the tank in comparison to your 20 HP Reid. I bid on Paul's tank and I thought I might try to use it on a 6 HP engine. But, it might work well for what you need also. Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY > Larry, > I would say yes. Our 15 Hp Reid runs cooler than our 22 1/2 > Bessemer and both have a thermosyphon setups.

Not only does it break up the continuity, it almost strands some of the exhibitors in the north area. It was certainly dishartening to many of those who had to exhibit out there and I am wondering if some of them will come back. Many tractors just sit there lonely without anyone looking at them or tending to them. I usually walk through and look at the tractors, but I don't care where they are.

It is probably too short a tank for a 20HP Reid to look proportioned. Also getting the tank shipped would cost more than the tank is worth if I had to ship across the border. I'll not bid on it Tommy. Probably a tank which would hold 25 or 30 gal. would look better on my engine and would be sure to have adaquate cooling capabilities. Larry. Judge Tommy Turner wrote: Larry, I think it would work as long as you're just running the engine. The size tank that Paul has would hold probably 15 gallons full, probably 10 to 12 in a working capacity. The water jacket on your engine will probably hold about 7 to 10 gallons so the tank would allow twice the capacity of your jacket. I think the primary issue would be the size of the tank in comparison to your 20 HP Reid. I bid on Paul's tank and I thought I might try to use it on a 6 HP engine.

When we moved to our own grounds, we had engine display area in the woods and also some out in the open, without shade. The shaded areas were much more popular and the open area has since been taken over by tractor folks. For the folks who are on the list and have not been to Portland, I want to tell you that it is worth the trip. I had not been there in years and showed up with an engine and an old gummer. Dave, Arnie, Steve Barr and the other SEL folks sure made us feel welcome. So many folks to visit with, so many nice things to see. My buddy still comments that the best looking gals at the show were in the SEL area. Of course, being married, I didn't notice....

If anyone needs a whiskey barrel, I think I can help them out. We make a lot of that stuff around here (legally too!). There is a cooperage near me that makes new ones or I can get those that have aged for 8 years or so full of whiskey. The ones that have been aged have been charred on the inside but the new ones wouldn't be. I got a used one a few years ago for an engine project and sandblasted the interior to remove as much of the char as possible. I think the new barrels run about $200. The used ones are around $25 I think (sorry, they're empty).

I think as long as you had a circulating pump with a screen on top, you could make it work for the Reid. I used to have a gent near me who was one of the old time sheet metal workers. He would use the big rivets to put the tanks together and then put a heavy solder seam to seal them up. But, he retired and there's no one around to do that sort of work now. Here is the type tanks he would make for me. This one he made for my 4 HP Callahan. I still have the bill on it, $28. Boy, I wished he was still in business! I would bet this tank would cost over $100 to have someone else make it now. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=30138400&p=75272337 http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=30138400&p=75272338&f=0 Here is the one he made for the Miami. It was bigger than the Callahan tank and he charged me $40 for it. You can see the heavy rivets at the seam in the back. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=3009203&a=31374063&p=70276004 Tommy Turner Magnolia, KY Larry Anger wrote: >Tommy - I saw that you had bid on the tank.

Nice fella And I am buying an engine from his collection, and am wandering about any list members would be in the. Cold springs area of PA heading west southwest towards western KY tennesee southern missouri, or any where in this general direction. That could help if only a couple hundred miles . The engine weighs I say good guess, 250 # and can be moved around by one person. I belive Richard said loading would be no problem. I will have to get back with him about all that. There is no hurry on this. If anyone can help I will make it worth your time out of the way and gas.

That's not very safe. Using this picture for a reference this is what I think would work: http://www.oldengine.org/members/luket/portland/portlandlayout.jpg I think the engines should be placed back under the trees where they were before. All the tractors could be placed to the east end of the grounds. Room could be made for them by placing some of the parts area where the new engine area is. This would allow all the tractors acess to the field, engines to be together and under the trees, and the entire north portion of the grounds would be for selling stuff.

Not only did I hear the engine folks complaining about the current split of the engine areas, I heard many spectators express dissatisfaction with the arrangement too.

The water hoppers on the 12 HP Herc and 16 HP Galloway are large enough that pesky little Maytags can be placed inside them and they can be snuck into shows. Once admitted to the grounds by unsuspecting gate superintendents, he unleashes the little coughing, smokey terrors on his fellow engine enthusiasts and spectators. doG only know how many he has tucked in that new Austral. Yah know that story he was making up about not wanting to travel with kero in the fuel tank? Ohhhh..... that's so he can hide yet another Maytag somewhere. The show organizers of Zolfo need to be forewarned of this menace before another environmental nightmare occurs in south central Florida.

Now reconsideration is going >> to take place and we are being asked for our input. Four years ago I was moved from the location with which I had been for the past 10 -15 years. I went into the newly expanded area and loved my new location and would go back to it in a second! Then we got moved again this time into the new area... I know that I could have set anywhere I wanted to as I am in Portland in plenty of time to do so, so this decision to go into the new area was "MY" doing. The first year many many people could not even find the engins in this area as parking for the vendors was in front of the exhibit area. We had no known water access nor anywhere close to obtain water or snacks in this area. (The horse people do not count as I will die before supporting any of them.) I spoke that I would give it another year with some changes, which some where made, and this was last year. At this moment I will be located some where close to where I want or I can pack the few old chunks of rust I bring and go back home. See I know that Portland is big enough that my leaving will not affect them and I know someone else will fill the spot with which I would leave open, But they might miss some of the volunteer help I have always tried to provide and that this is what will affect the Portland show. I provide my own porta-trees and only ask for enough earth to set and run an engin or two or what ever for the length of the show, and I go to bed each night praying to get me back to just one more "PORTLAND" but maybe I need to change my prayers.

Possibly because it was so far from all the food and drink stands????? Also, it was not well signed, and with a big sprawling area such as the Portland showground, it would be easy to miss that area of engines altogether. Certainly, it was a long way to go when someone said "Hey did you see THAT engine?" I noticed when we were last there, in 2004, that very few of the engines in the far area were running, and many did not have their owners with them - maybe they'd gone to get food / see the rest of the engines, which would take a lot longer than if the engines were all in the same area. As everyone else has noted, the tractor owners generally don't stay with their exhibits and are not available to talk to visitors, with the notable exception of the owners of the John Deere, running on Coke bottles!!!! In 2004, we were talking to Leroy about the lack of visitors in the far area, and he was keeping count, so his comments and figures would be well worth passing on to the Portland Directors. It's good that they are prepared to listen to the comments of exhibitors and are willing to make changes to improve the show.

All the engines were in one place which helped the spectators and exhibitors. The tractors provided no working displays and were basically left unattended. So why did they need the shade anyhow? There was actually empty space under the trees in the tractor area. People ended up parking in this area. If some of the exhibitors didn't have shade, at least some cars and trailers did!

To set the record straight, George Best delivered my 16 HP Galloway to Portland for me in 1999. By the time Arnie and I arrived at Portland someone had put a magnetic MAYTAG sign on it's hopper. That year a MAYTAG muffler flex pipe was also seen coming out of the water hopper of the Galloway. I then restored the Galloway (See: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/trailer/16_GallowayTrailer/index.html) The next year (2000) I took the restored engine to Portland and put the magnetic MAYTAG sign back on it from time to time (See: http://www.oldengine.org/members/rotigel/Portland_2000/ ) To the best of my knowledge The magnetic MAYTAG sign has never been on the 12 HP TG Hercules that I used to own (I could be wrong about this however.) If either of you have pictures I would like to see them. I understand from reading that I've done that after smoking several joints one's perception of reality and their ability to differentiate between red and green is somewhat diminished. In the future please remember that Hercules engines are GREEN and Galloway engines are RED! Dave PS, In 2003 I put that damn MAYTAG sign on e-bay and got $245.00 for it!

Gatewood has run for Governor (three times), Congress, Attorney General and Commissioner of Agriculture. He's run as an Independent, Dem. and under the Reform Party's banner. While he's never won, he has run some respectable campaigns as he still has the distinction of being the third highest Reform Party vote getter in America (Ross Perot was first and Jesse Ventura was second) during his '99 run for KY Governor. He runs on a platform of legalizing Marijuana. I was reading his book the other night and he talks about the first time he took LSD. He said it opened his eyes to the world and changed his perspective on life. He said he began to realize that there was some profound unexplained matters on this earth..... like, is yellow really the best color for bananas? There are 10 running for Governor in KY this year and the votes will be split wide open. Depending on how many folks out there like to smoke a joint, you never know. This time next year we may be talking about "Governor Gatewood".

As a tractor guy I think I might put in a nickles worth of input. I am one of the few tractor guys that RUNS his 'engine with wheels' at Portland. I have plowed every year we were able to and ran the buzz saw via belt with my tractor all week last year!! (-; Great fun!! With the new set up the tractors are out back by the new ground the club bought so we can plow and maybe do other things one day. Also it is a direct path to the race track for the tractor parade they have started to have on Saturday. I would not even try to get to either the plow area or the race tack on Friday or Saturday from the old area due to the crowds walking in the roadways. The shaded area that was engine land is used only by the 'feature 'tractors of the show. They could be moved out with the rest of the tractors in my opinion. The club bought 50 acres out there I think - plenty of room. The only part of the shaded area that maybe the engine folks might not get back would be a section back by the new tractor area that the saw mill could be set up in . That would give a little shade to those that want to set and watch the mill in action. At a 'perfect' show the engines that can't move need shade. The tractors that can move ( at least those that have owners like me) need room to play. Portland's only like 6 months away, I can't wait!!!!

Looks like it is. The tank could potentially hold more than this. But, you're not going to be able to run it at 100% capacity (10% of it would slosh out with the engine running) so I used 90%. I did a calculation a couple of nights ago and came up with something like 15 gallons but looking at the calculator, I think I know what I did wrong. There are two ways to figure volume in a cylindrical tank. One uses the diameter and the other uses the radius. I think I typed in the radius (10 inches) when I should have typed in the diameter. Using the radius gives a volume of 14 gallons. Using the diameter gives a volume of 54 (both of these at 100%). Didn't realize that a few inches could make such a difference.....

I had my first engine in the back of the Dodge truck, a 3HP Jaeger, that several of us had to manually unload from the truck to display in the show area. Didn't know a soul there, had never even heard of the SEL, and didn't join "the group" when invited to the Log Inn for dinner on Sat. evening (only year missed). Missy and I both laughed at the funny Maytag sign on the huge beast of a green engine there. As I recall we later learned it was a 12HP Hercules and some guy named Dave Rotigel owned it. We never did meet you at that show. We were taken under the wing by Jim & MaryAnna White, Charlie Bryant and a few others from St. Louis area and spent most of the weekend with them. Admittedly that is a lot of years ago and we were real green to the hobby, but that is my recollection of a Maytag sign on your big green Hercules. I'm thinking that was the anniversary year of Herc/Econ engines and there were 5, 12HP Hercs there. Again, the memory is fuzzy. Perhaps it IS what I have smoked :-) Curt Dave Rotigel wrote: > Hi Curt and Mark, > I sure as hell hope that whatever you two are smoking is > good--because you must have consumed a lot of it!

The tank dimensions are 20" by 42". I wasn't sure if it was 20" ID measure or 20" OD. If you'll notice, it has a rolled lip, about 1/4 inch. To be on the safe side, I assumed 20" OD measure (at the top) minus 1/2 inch (for the rolled lip) which makes an ID of 19 1/2. It may be 20" ID but as I said, I wanted to be on the safe side. Put in the calculations and 19 1/2 by 42 gives you 54.3 gallons. An old engine tank won't hold 100% of its volume (your going to slosh out a bit of it) so I figured about 90% actual water in the tank which equates to slightly less than 50 gallons for engine running purposes. Not sure if 19.5 should be used or 20, it depends on how John W. measured and rolled the material. On the tanks that I've had made, the guy always uses OD as if I told him a tank had to be 24 inches and he used ID, then once he's finished, with a rolled lip, etc, it actually covers about 25 inches. If its to fit into a base or tight quarters, it could be trouble.

I know it will hold a lot more than 15 gallons. >Paul >Hi Paul and All I get the digest version of the SEL so this question has already been answered by others but here is the formula for volume. (This is for a cylinder - a rectangular tank is easier) Volume= Area x height (or depth) Area (of a circle) = pi x radius squared. (Sorry this is not how it's usually written but I dunno how to put that little superscript "2" up there with this keyboard :-)) So you just work out the area of the cylinder base and multiply it by the height (or depth) and the result will be the volume (in whatever units you are using). O.K. - I know most of you already know this but the reason for this post is just to re-introduce you to a small free programme that I use (and posted to the list a year or so back). It is called "Convert.exe" and is very useful to convert almost any unit of measurement to almost any other unit of measurement. (Like 57 USGallons to 47.46241 English Gallons to 215.7685 Litres). The writers blurb states "Convert is an easy to use unit conversion program that will convert the most popular units of distance, temperature, volume, time, speed, mass, power, density, pressure, energy and many others, including the ability to create custom conversions! " It will not calculate the volume for you but makes it easier for people like me to figure out that 57 USGallons is about 215 litres - that way I know what you're talking about. It's a really great little programme and does not even need to be "installed" in windows. You just click on the .exe file and away it goes. It is available as a free download here: I hope you find it useful. Best regards Jerry Evans.

I think that I have sent you all proofs of the artwork. If I missed anyone please let me know. I've done a few of them but have just got in a very big order for signs (my "earn a living" business - the one that allows me to mess around with old engines - spec plates are part of the hobby) so have had to put everything else on hold for another week or so. If anyone desperately needs their plates please let me know and I'll make a plan.

Some of you folks might remember that my brother and I got hold of an early 1-1/2hp IHC M engine a few years ago in anything but running condition. It was missing a lot of parts and had some rather interesting field modifications. We have slowly been collecting what we need and this past spring and summer got it cleaned up and running again. I took quite a few pictures during the restoration and have added some of them to the original page regarding this engine. These pictures are not meant to be a lesson in how to restore an engine but more of a resource for someone working with a similar one. Follow the links at the bottom of this page to see the new pictures. http://www.oldengine.org/members/levans/ihm/ Regards, Larry Evans Arcadia, Southern California, USA MailTo:LFEVANS at pacbell.net http://www.oldengine.org/members/levans/ From shop at cccomm.net Fri Feb 9 14:31:30 2007 From: shop at cccomm.net (Dave Ernst) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 14:31:30 -0800 Subject: [SEL] Fairbanks Morse T References: <20070209.090146.1120.0.rdhaskell@juno.com> Message-ID: <006301c74c9a$0bd8ca60$6501a8c0@YOURA8CFD79427> Hey, thanks you guys Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [SEL] Fairbanks Morse T > That should make it 1908. > > Ron Haskell > rdhaskell at juno.com > Riverside, California > USA > http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumList?u=3009370&f=0 > > On Fri, 9 Feb 2007 07:02:03 -0800 "Dave Ernst" writes: >> The number is 74899 >> >> Thanks > _______________________________________________ > SEL mailing list > SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com > http://www.stationary-engine.com/mailman/listinfo/sel > > From sluggo54 at hotmail.com Fri Feb 9 15:40:10 2007 From: sluggo54 at hotmail.com (Bruce Younger) Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2007 17:40:10 -0600 Subject: [SEL] Sorry In-Reply-To: <200702091700.l19H06UE025786@heavyiron.atis.net> Message-ID: Sorry for the boneheaded, non-truncated reply yesterday, folks.

If anyone is interested, before we put it on ebay, drop me an email offlist or onlist if you prefer, the return email address is valid and free from spamtraps. The CD-1000 is 2.1mp, stores images on 3" CD's in the camera and it has a very nice zoom lens of 10X Optical and 20X digital. Each CD is 156mb capacity, the camera has a Tamrac System 3 bag with it, 2 spare batteries, lens filters, driver software and manual on CD plus AV and USB cables. Good review here: http://www.steves-digicams.com/cd1000.html The camera is in the USA at present (AZ, 85297) shipping with insurance would be about $20-$25.

We use that process a lot now and find that it does keep rust away for ever, even on items that are outdoors 24/7 like the trailer.

The cart certainly looks like its of Australian origin (reminds me of the Austral carts, very heavy duty). The engine is a heavy hunk of iron as well. It looks just the opposite of engines here in the US. Often rusty on the outside but not real bad on the inside. The baby you photograph doesn't look so rough on the outside, but sure looks crusty on the inside (crank, governor, gearing, etc.). The upright is another one that I've never seen before (probably one just like it in the shed across the road though..... I say this because just when you think you've never seen one before, two will show up at the next engine show or swap meet).

Try buying 4 million pounds of copper every month and see what that does to your cash flow. A few years ago we were buying copper for .97 per pound. At the peak is was over $3 a pound. Now it's back around $2. Our cash flow went from needing 4 million $ every month to 12 million $ almost overnight. THAT will crimp your style! What's sad is that the coil makers were making coils from copper bought at a buck a pound and they continued to sell at the old price even though the metal cost was three times that. Now that inventories have run out they are getting a bit of a shock when they go to replace that wire. Ouch!

I don't think you can forge weld cast iron and also, when I look at the ends of the spokes as they poke through the rim, it appears they have been hammered over like rivets to hold the spokes to the rim. Cast iron doesn't respond well to being hammered. It will shatter rather than spread. All this is speculation on my part as I am no expert.

You asked about why not casting the rim......it is a durability and cost issue. Picture the kind of ruts and logs these engine carts were pulled over a 100 years ago. Steel rims would flex and bend a little and continue on. Occasional corrections with a hammer would make it all good again. Cast rims are brittle and the only solution is to beef the thickness up considerably to compensate and this drove the cost sky high. Cast iron must have been cheap in Oz as you see a lot of large cast rimmed wheels there. Looking at your wheels I think I see the remnants of a single large hot rivet in the center of the hammer weld. I've not seen this before as most are simply hammer welded only. A while back I was contemplating making some wheels from scratch as I couldn't seem to find a pair of 24" Hercules cart wheels after looking a couple of years. Dug up some articles on the manufacturing method as I was convinced the steel spokes were cast into the hub. Sure enough that was the case. It seems the green sand molds would not support the spokes well enough so they developed water cooled D2 steel cavity dies to pour the cast iron into. (You'd think they would have used H13). As I recall when IHC moved away from the knobby style wheel hub to the zigzig style they incorporated this steel cavity die molding method. The spokes were upset (forged) with a "mushroom" on the hub end and a flange on the other end about a 1/2" back from the end. The spokes were populated into the open hub casting mold, the mold closed, and the cast iron poured in. The rims were made from flat stock and in the case of your rims were hot rolled thru a set of rollers to create the sunken area. Spoke holes were punched at the correct interval along the proper length piece of steel. Then they were cold rolled on a 3 roll rolling machine into a slightly larger than needed circle. The hub/spoke assy was married to the rim and the rim was closed until it bottomed on all the spoke flanges. The rim was then hammer welded. Then they had a machine they put the wheel assembly in and it gripped/supported the back of the flange on the spoke and a "hammer" device that looked a lot like a chisel came out and hammered the end of the spoke, spreading it flat to retain the rim. This chisel tool rotated as it hammered, leaving the surface with a radial pattern of lines across the face. If you are lucky enough to find some really nice old wheels you can still see this pattern. Glad you found some wheels. What are you going to use for a 5th wheel? If you make one from scratch make sure the front axle assy can pivot side to side, otherwise uneven ground will put tremendous loads on your engine base casting and possibly break it. I've been thinking about making a couple of patterns for a generic 5th wheel for small carts (8 or10" wheels). Missy's New Way engine needs a cart. I have some nice cast wheels but don't have the 5th wheel yet. I kind of like the design of the Rock Island cart fifth wheel system.

Look at the metal closely and see if you can see what looks like layering of the metal. A sure sign of wrought. You see wheels made like this more often then you might think. Most folks just don't notice the lapped forged seam. Or if they do notice don't give it a second thought after deciding they are not cracks.

The show/swap area covers about twice the area it did 12 years ago and the improved camping area is about twice as large as well. I expect the show will remain roughly the size it is for a few years so the club can plan on the same level of participation. I would like to see the engine display area unified under the trees on the fairgrounds. I would move the feature tractors to the east with the rest of the tractors. The new tractor area and east part of the vendor area could be vastly improved with the care the parking lot and older vendor area receive, incuding planting some trees. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Brice On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Dave Rotigel wrote: > Any more opinions on the Portland setup?

Get a Bosch (or similar) relay from a newer car, they are used for accesories. On the side of it you will see a wiring diagram with numbers 30, 87, 87a,85, 86. You will need a auto coil and condenser. Connect a wire from terminal 85 to the coil positve side. Connect another wire from terminal 86 to coil negative. Connect a wire from coil negative to terminal 30. Connect terminal 87a to contact points on engine and from there to battery negative. Connect condenser between terninals 30 and87a It should be ready to fire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Scales" To: "'The SEL email discussion list'" Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 1:38 AM Subject: RE: [SEL] Low Tension Coils > I'd be interested in the recipe, for sure.

Just take the solenoid apart down to the coil itself. You can either use the original plunger for a core or, better, get a roll of soft iron (mechanic's wire) and cut a bundle of strands that will just fit inside the coil, long enough to stick out about an inch at both ends. If you use a 12-Volt solenoid, it should work fine on either 6V or 12V. If you want to make an authentic looking one, use the wire of of a solenoid to wind it.

We would like to find a manual for it plus we would like to know if a connecting rod bearing shell is still available and where from. I think the cause of the problem is the oil dip tube is missing but I'm not sure. A picture or a sketch of the dip tube would be a big help too. The specs are as follows: From the engine name plate: No. 66597 Spec no.

References: Message-ID: <01c801c75604$33b13d60$6a00a8c0@yourvp7x3s9ctm> Hi Bill, I made a battery box several years ago. I did not have any nice hinges handy so I made a sliding lid that I fir up to give a real nice fit. Worked great here in Hemet which is hot and dry with low humidity, took it to a show by the coast and could hardly get it open. I think this is why sliding lids are almost never seen Jim Jim and Diane Hemet, CA , U.S.A. jd.kirkes at verizon.net ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [SEL] Questions on Battery box I built for a Hit and Miss engine.

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20070226191236.00ad8b80@mail.cyberserv.co.za> Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I've (at last) started etching the outstanding orders for brass spec. plates. I did the first few last night and will do more tonight. To those of you who have outstanding orders with me - thanks for all of your patience - as mentioned about 3 weeks ago I've been under a lot of pressure from work since November but, although I still have a lot of work on hand, I've got a chance to do some of the etching in between. Hopefully I will have caught up within the next 2 weeks. I think that I have sent artwork proofs to everyone who contacted me but if I've missed anyone please contact me off list and I'll send them to you. I have done all the artwork for all outstanding orders. (except that Novo - it'll happen soon) I've just finished a big (for me) signage job for Sandstone Estates so thought that I would put up a webpage to show you guys what I do for a living (My Daytime Job). I often wonder what line other members are in so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. How about some of you letting the rest of the list what you do in real life? Maybe a webpage or even just a post to the list. I've put a page here: Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. Tel.

The guy on the ladder is a private contractor and you will notice he is alone up there - he did not ask his staff to go up there with him. Also this was done on a farm - far away from prying eyes. He would never get away with it if doing the same thing regularly in an urban area :-) Fortunately for him (and most other sign riggers) it is a case of work here today and somewhere else tomorrow. He has been doing this job for over 30 years and uses a mountaineers harness or a "bosun's chair" on high rise buildings with safety harnesses and the like. This job was a "low risk" one as far as he was concerned - only 9 metres from the ground ! He has only fallen once from about 12 metres when a ladder collapsed - a few cracked a few ribs and a bit of damage to his pelvis when he hit the bottom of the ladder. He was back on the job within 10 days, crutches and all. These guys are a breed of their own. Your catering site looks good.

Very economical. You could do the same for your hood. Food for thought, my hood has a fine wire mesh that protects the glass. Yes it cuts some light out, but it sure keeps the glass clear.

If so, I get Warp's Flex-o-Glass at our farm supply store and cut it to size. It is relatively cheap. It can be held in place with tape. I use Scotch double-stick on my bead blasting cabinet windows. If your viewing window didn't have a cover, you can get a replacement polycarbonate shield at your welding supply store and cut it to size. After you've done that, tape a throw-away layer on top of it. Regards, Orrin Orrin Iseminger Colton, Washington, USA http://users.moscow.com/oiseming/lc_ant_p/menu.htm So many projects.

To make the lense last longer, I cover the bottom half with duct tape. When I can't see through the top half, I peel the tape off and look through the bottom half. It is a good idea to wear ear plugs and a good mask. A dust mask is not enough to catch the fines, a respirator is best. Silicosis is a nasty disease, and once you realize you aren't bullet proof, it is too late.

My previous business was a plastic supply house and we supplied a lot of material for sandblasting cabinets as well as goggles. Quite a few people have mentioned "Plexiglas". Plexiglas is a trade name for acrylic sheet (polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) (I cannot remember who's but it may be Rohm & Haas) and is the same material as "Perspex" (which is I.C.I's trade name). Although this does work, it is not the ideal material as it is very hard and scratches very easily. We always supplied Polycarbonate (PC) (Peter Forbes mentioned Makrolon which is a trade name for polycarbonate as is Lexan). PC is much stronger than acrylic but also a bit softer and is better at resisting scratches from stuff like sandblast grit. It will also get to the stage that it needs replacement but will last longer than acrylic. This was available as a .5mm (half a millimetre) sheet that you could cut with a good strong pair of scissors or snips and we supplied this for goggles. Another material we used to supply for the goggles was rigid P.V.C (Polyvinylchloride). The rigid variety used to be called uPVC - the small "u" meaning it was unplasticised. I'm not sure if clear rigid uPVC is still available but is was available in thinner sheets which could be cut with normal scissors. It was used extensively for vacuum forming (like the clear plastic blister stapled to a piece of card that holds a product on display in a shop). It was not as good as polycarbonate but much cheaper and easier to cut. Someone mentioned a motorcycle shop - the motocross riders use a pair of goggles with tearaway strips over the lens - when they splash through mud they rip the next layer off -mud and all. I do not know if they would work for sandblasting but it sounds like a good idea. After we sold the business in 1986 my partner moved to Fort Smith in Arkansas and opened the same type of business there under the same name (Mr. Plastic). I do not know where you are in relation to him but he would be able to help. His name is Eugene Snyman tel. toll free 877-MrPlastic. I got out of plastics at that time but he is still involved and would be able to advise. If anyone does talk to him - Say Hi from Jerry in S.A.
