Problem is my wife volunteered us to keep the youngest grandkid, while her parents and older siblings go to Disneyland. Unfortunately, their trip is the same time as the Neunen show :-( Grandma doesn't want to be stuck home alone with a 3 year old while I'm off having fun in Europe. I think I can understand her point of view ;-) We've already told the kids that no more May vacations if they want us to keep the grandkids! Jerry, while you're visiting your brother in Munich you should go to the Deutsches Museum to see their engine collection.

No big plans to purchase anything but rather enjoy the socail side of meeting and chatting to likeminded engine men. A mate of mine asked if I could drive him to a small town about a hour away from Ballarat to pick up some tractor parts he was after. An interesting long story made short was I asked the tractor guy if he had any engines for sale and before you know it I have purcahsed 6.5hp Walker Star engine No815. I couldn't believe my ears when he said he had no interest 9n the engine and if I wanted it it was XXXDollars. I reasonable price for sure. These are a girder frame engine and run very well. This old girl looked to be in pretty good nick but deffinately needing some tinkering. Well got it home and the word was out quick, a mate came around and talked me into working on it. Well the two of us spent about 3 hours Saturday last and bugger me if we did'nt get it running that day. I don't have photos up yet. It still needs plenty of work, I have it running off the feul bowl with the bottom water outlet plugged to at least flood the barel for cooling. It fires once in about 22 to 24 revoluotions so you don't ned to top up the feul bowl to often.

He's busy and hard to get him to reply to eMail. Just send the payment to him but you've gotta find out what address he uses for PayPal. Last year I seem to remember that I sent payment to the wrong eMail addy and had to cancel it as it remained unclaimed. I eventually found the correct address and it was accepted. I'll reply off list with the address I used but I have no idea if this is where he wants it sent - you'll have to check with him. In the meantime send me the details of the plate you want and I'll start on it. You guys over there can sort out the details - You won the plate on the auction and that's what counts to for me. I'll make it. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

She had surgery Thursday night and is in surgery again Friday to try and save the fingers. Ron is, understandably, hard to get hold of at the moment but I will try and keep everyone informed. The latest news is that they have saved two fingers but one of those is still having problems with blood flow. I will pass on more news from Ron on Liz's condition when more is known.

Having had the end of a finger amputated and reattached about 5 years ago, I know on a small scale what she is going through. There are so many nerve endings in the fingers that reattachment surgery can be very painful for a long time after its over. I had the tip of my right middle finger pinched off about 2 months ago. They sewed it back and its healing and no more pain. This wasn't nearly as serious as the other accident I had as it didn't cut the bone off, just tissue. Still hurt though. We'll be saying some prayers for Liz.

He heated and cooked with wood so that old Plymouth worked pretty regular. Wish I had taken a picture of it. When I was a kid my Dad did the same thing with an old war surplus jeep.

I like to see what's going on, not a big blur of coloured squares! XP does come with all popular codecs I am told, so those on XP should be fine. I think that is most of the videos, I'll go back to the originals now and see if I missed anything. Was Dave's Austral in one of them? I know I took a shot or two of that.

It's as universally acceptable as you can get. By hosting it yourself, you don't have to worry about the quality limitations imposed by YouTube. So why not provide AVI, WMV, and Flash? Oh, and what about MOV files for those of us who represent 7.5% of web traffic? Oh, wait, we can watch ALL those formats already. Let me close with the following parable that might help you in designing your web page: An old man and a young boy were traveling through their village with their donkey. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk. Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying, "How awful to put such a load on a poor donkey." The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. Party on, Garth!

I personally like YouTube because their compression makes even the biggest files download relatively quickly. Whereas it took me about 2 minutes to download the .avi files. I put a few videos of my own on YouTube in .mov format (that's the format my particular digital camera saves them in). I don't know if the .mov format has anything to do with them being clearer, but I've never had any complaints with the way my stuff turns out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjOo4NYSzh4 -Tony At 01:48 AM 3/9/2008, Listerdiesel wrote: >I've given up on getting anything decent in the way of resolution with >YouTube, and have set up a new folder for the video clips that we took >at Portland last summer.

(Well Done "The Webmistress" :-)) Advanced search (in those results) for 15 hp only found about 3 results and none relevant. Neville also has a 6HP (unrestored) and has already stripped a few parts from it for comparison and will be able make (or modify) some of the parts using those from the 6 HP for reference. On "Jim's List" Roland Craven replied: "The 15hp is an uprated version of the 12hp with practically no parts in common with any other size. the 12-15 is also far from common so parts may be a big issue.." I do not think that Neville is too concerned with "availability of parts" - more a case of being able to see what they look like and do so that he can copy and make them. We have a saying in South Africa (in Afrikaans - our other language) "'n Boer Maak 'n Plan" - direct translation is " A Farmer makes a plan". I've not seen the engine yet and am still waiting for Neville to give me a list of what he needs but if an injector is one of the missing "bits" I do not see that as a big problem. I learnt a lot about diesel injectors (from these lists) a few weeks ago when looking for one for my 12 HP Witte CD Diesel. Thanks all. I'll get some pics soon but, as I mentioned, he got this one in boxes so the pics will not be much until it starts going together again.

We searched high and low for one for Jim's Atomic, but couldn't get a sniff of an injector or a nozzle for it. We did have some success with cleaning the nozzle out though, it took a few months of solvents and ultrasonic cleaning to dislodge the crud inside the spray holes. We still look out for those particular nozzles, but have yet to find anything close. We did pick up some bodies and nozzles for a Glenniffer marine engine the other day....

Arotary convertor would require at least a 7.5hp idler motor, thiw would have to run all the while the compressor is being used. A static convertor reduces the ouput of the 3 phase motor so it wouldn't run the compressor, on a mill or lathe you seldom need the full hp, a compressor does. Since you don't need the full ouput of this compressor I would look for a 3hp moptor and a smaller drive pulley. A 5hp single phase should work in place of the 3 phase with the same pulley, hp is hp. It will pull more amps on the 2 legs, but the total will be close to the 3 phase on three legs. The smaller motor should be cheaper and easier to find, the smaller pulley will reduce the load on the motor, you will have to check the amps under load to be sure it's not overloaded. Ssmaller pulley =l reduced load, lower amperage, compressor turning slower, reduced output. Single phase motors are usually harder to find used, most people can't use 3 phase at home. J.B.

A start/run motor with a separate starting winding might be too heavy on current for a domestic supply. The phase changer using a 3-phase motor and capacitors is a good way to go, and is invariably cheaper than buying a new single-phase motor, assuming you can get one the right size and mounting.

The three main browsers all treat this differently, so you'll have to experiment with your own preferences to get the best out of it. IE6 worked best for me, keeping the menu page in the background and running the video on top in the foreground. Opera and Firefox both dashed off to get the video file and then returned to the menu page once ithey had enough code to stream the video. http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/VideoClips/VideoMenu.htm or http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/VideoClips/VideoMenu.htm Choose the website that is closest to you, it does make a big difference on download times.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of them this evening. I think that as so many folks did get the .avi files downloaded and working, that a server problem is unlikely, but as you say, it's a moot point now. The change over to .wmv was made as it was obvious that it was causing unexpected problems with the .avi format, and it was quite simple to change the format and re-send the files to the two sites. As I posted elsewhere, as I have the video editing software, and DirectX9 loaded, I didn't 'see' any file format problems at my end. If I get the time, I will chop out individual engine scenes and make up some video 'quickies' featuring just one engine and one scene of 15 seconds or so run time.

Oldengine.org is a free hosting website for engine nuts like us. Stationary-engine.co.uk and Oldengine.co.uk are 'paid-for' sites that we fund ourselves, it's about $150 a year, as long as we don't exceed bandwidth and storage limits. The speed is particularly good though, which is why we chose that location for it. Our DSL varies, but is supposed to be 500k up and 8mb down, but like most DSL it varies with how many are on the system. We are close to the town and exchange so get a pretty good supply.

Very few people on the list have ever actually seen a good high end machine in real life for sale on a sales floor. As a rule what you see on a sales floor today from Harbor Freight to the big box stores is a compromise for a real compressor. A lot of compromises made to deliver a compressor unit at a competative price in a very competative market. Most of the time when you wonder why you don't see something, all you have to do is think money and thats where the answer usually lays. Two of the big names in cetrifugal unloaders was Curtis and Ingersol Rand. The Curtis is external mechanism and the Ingersol is internal. Top end Quincys are oil pressure unloaders. The Quincy system is a SWeeeeeeet unloader. If you ever seen and heard a Quincy in operation the way they were intended you would simply fall in love. Yah just do not want to be moving them around much, they are a brute of a machine, but oh so sweet.

If you want to install an idler device they are available. We keep them in stock. If your unloader has a tank pressure port that opens when the unit reaches pressure you install a air actuated cylinder with a throttle cable linked to the carburetor.

You will notice that the 2nd baffle tube is interchangeable with a "free flow" tube for when I feel like making a bit of noise but actually this engine runs so quietly that there is very little difference when it's idling along - of course, if I put a load on it there would be a big difference. The silencer I made for the Maytag needed a bit of back pressure and you can read about it here: I know very little (actually nothing :-)) about muffler design - pretty much just stumble along and end up with something that works.

I attended a nearby community sale yesterday and ended up dragging home a huge behemoth of an air compressor. It's a Curtis 2-stage, 80 gallon upright. It wasn't until I got it home and unloaded it that I realized the motor on it is 3 PHASE. I can't run 3 phase in my garage, so if anyone has a single phase motor that would work for this application, I would be interested in buying or trading for this 3 phase unit. The motor is rated at 5 HP. I don't know much about the particulars of electric motors, but I'm guessing I'd probably need a single phase motor with more HP than the 3 phase motor I'd be swapping out... Can anyone confirm that? Here is some of the information on the motor tag: Frame- 184T Horsepower- 5 Volts- 208-230/460 Amps- 14.8-14/7 RPM- 1725 NEMA nom eff. 81.5% Rating- 400 AMB-Cont. PF- 80% I'd also be interested in trading the whole compressor unit for a complete single phase unit if anyone is looking to upgrade. I do not need a compressor this large, but I got a pretty good deal on it, so I bought it anyway. I won't need anything more than a 60 gallon single stage for my uses. I can provide pics of the motor or the whole compressor if anyone is interested.

When you're walking around during a swap meet looking at engine parts often the vendor doens't know what the part fits, just knows it an old engine part. Knowing what the part fits can make the part much more valuable, especially if it is something you can use. I've loaded a picture at this address: www.irontrader.com/graphics/spring.jpg To some people it would look like a spring off an implement or something. While it really is a spring off an engine and I think would be hard to find a replacement. If you have one of these engines you probably know what the spring is for, if you don't take a guess. ;-) George ps I know what the spring fits. Just thought it might be an interesting diversion to post pictures of unusual parts and see if people can guess what it fits. _______________________________________________ SEL mailing list SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com http://www.stationary-engine.com/mailman/listinfo/sel From Germoamer at aol.com Sat Mar 15 15:03:23 2008 From: Germoamer at aol.com (Germoamer at aol.com) Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:03:23 EDT Subject: [SEL] What is it?

This engine has always been easy to start and a good runner. It refused to run and I did some show fixing but finally gave it up and brought it home and let it sit until now. I decided to take it to an upcoming show and did not want to repeat the previous fiasco so I wheeled it into the shop and began to fiddle with it. I got it started and convinced myself it was not getting a good fuel supply. I took the fuel pump apart and made sure the check valves worked and put it back together with almost no change except maybe worse. Well the next thing was to take the mixer apart, when in doubt take something apart, at the very least find something to twist. This is an overflow mixer and there really is not much in it to go wrong, made sure everything was clear and put it back on the engine. I also took the mag/igniter out and checked the spark and it made a nice fat blue spark. I got the engine started after some backfires and flooding which kind of surprised me as it never did this before. The engine was running but rather poorly and sometimes hitting the mag trip 4 or 5 times before firing. I was a little perplexed, after all there is a pretty definite limit to what can be fixed on an engine like this. After watching this bad runner for a while it looked like the mag was not getting a very good trip. I held the trip down with my finger so as to get more rotation on the mag armature and the everything smoothed right out. I took the trip off and reworked it so as to have a longer engagement and get a faster and longer rotation of the armature. Problem solved, runs fine. A mag works by turning the armature through the magnetic field. The hottest spark will be produced by turning through the most lines of force as fast as possible. The mag trip on this engine was one of those thing that wear very slowly until it finally does not work very well. As this happens over a long time it can be hard to spot. The mag worked fine outside the engine with the hand trip.The hand trip never gets used so it works pretty much like it did when it was new which got me convinced that there was nothing wrong with it. Amazing how you can look at something you understand and see nothing until it finally beats you over the head. The upside of all this is that it runs like it used to and I know the fuel system is clean.

I had about the same symptoms with my 2 HP Jack of All Trades. It's battery and coil but it got sorry at a show and I fiddled with it for a while before I took the ignitor out. The points had slowly burned to where they would barely close. A trip to the junk compartment of the tool box and I got a couple of 6-32 screws and some nuts and a file and made a new set. The engine ran fine afterwards and the junk points are still in there.

Note the original colour of this Austral was Black with yellowgreen lining. The finish 1) metal parts were cleaned of dirt then wire brushed using a hand grinder with brush attachment to remove the rust but instead of my usual method of getting the metal to a bright finished I took the rust off and left the metal slightly dark. see finish http://www.oldengine.org/members/kmorris/Webpages/temporary12.html 2) When engine was all assembled I coated it in a heavy coat of BLACK diesel sump oil then wiped off excess. 3) Problem was engine was taken to its first rally and started 2 days later and Brock was kind enough to remove more excess oil on his shirt while starting it 8-)) 4) Engine oil dried over the next two months (Ruth's domestic work) then I coated it with two coats of Penetrol (paint additive) but boiled linseed / turps would be just as good 5) All brass parts were wired brushed but again not to bright finish 6) New (shiny) and old brass parts were coated in sump oil and heated with porta gas torch (Propane ?) until they were hot and sump oil burnt off this gave nearly the effect I wanted and the when the engine was coated with Penetrol those parts I added a little sump oil and the finish was good. 7) Penetrol dried and has kept the finish - it is Black as it should be, has a shine and does look ok.

Not only that but, they're also the most helpful guys I know. I have a friend who has an IHC pickup/truck/ute/bakkie (depending on your language). It's about 3/4 ton. He's been asking me for ages to do some signs for the doors but is being quite specific - his brief is as follows: "When this truck was new it had a very old sign on the door which I took photographs of but which I currently cannot find. It was a circular sign and it said something like "International Harvester Field Service". Obviously this truck was used by International Harvester to provide on farm service. You might want to do a bit of research on this and if you can come up with what appears to be the right signage (if you send it to me I will recognise it) and then I will get you to make special decals for it. In the meantime I will see if I can find these photographs which cannot be far away." Can any of you super knowledgeable members help me out here with pics or even a description of what this signage may possibly have looked like. I know it's a "long shot" but I'd appreciate any input. If anyone can help, it's you guys. Thanks in advance. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

Mine was a T100 and had the Silver Diamond 220 engine and the first-year Warner automatic tranny. The truck was given to me to get it out of the way. I rebuilt the engine, replaced the king pins and brakes and used it for about ten years to haul firewood. It was pretty beat-up when I got it and even more beat up when I sold it for $500, still running fine. I think I cleared about $300 over my cost. One thing I remember clearly was that since this was the first year for the automatic, there as an instruction decal on the dash. The decal read: "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. To go forward, step on the accelerator. To stop, step on the brake."

One is in the 7000's serial number, but the other one was serial 735, nicely below John's known unit. I know a few of us have indicators secreted away somewhere, could you check and see what the type and serial numbers are please? A typical DS1 unit is at: http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/Indicator/Indicator19.jpg Note the McInnes name moulded into the vulcanite at the base. The serial number is stamped into the top face around the other side of the main nickel-plated arm, usually in two places. Any information given is for John's personal use only, and I can give John's email address to anyone who doesn't want to make their own unit's details public. John has also been back to us since then regarding details of the other units that we hold, including a motorised recorder and the Schaeffer-Budenberg unit that we bought at the Woodlands swap meet back in 2003.

Lister also used valve cages, as did a lot of engine makers, but their use died out after better lubrication and valve guide material came along. Cost of production and assembly was quite high as well. BYB says they handled Novo engines, which is what I would guess at as its ancestry, Standard Scale were only agents according to C H W.

And With Even Larger Engines This Time. Message-ID: <041901c88f6c$9164a030$0201a8c0@pengy> Hello from a long lost friend. Thirteen years ago several members of the Stationary Engine List spent a winter in Youngstown helping me dismantle a 260 ton stationary steam engine, and thanks to their efforts we now have a museum facility in Youngstown that contains one of the largest extant stationary steam engines in the world. But what brings me back to the list is another project that the Tod Engine Foundation has become involved with, and that is the preservation of a group of internal combustion engines that make the Tod Engine look small. This is the Bethlehem Steel blowing engine house in Bethlehem, PA. Inside this building are twelve gas blowing engines. Eight are tandem double acting engines, while the last four are truly gigantic twin tandem double acting engines with 28' flywheels. These engines weigh probably close to 1000 tons each and were rated at 5,000 hp. If you have seen the 600 HP Snow engines at Rollag or Coolspring then you know what these look like, but just imagine something several times larger and then multiply that by a dozen. The building has been set aside for preservation, and the Tod Engine Foundation has stepped in to provide assistance in stabilizing the engines and eventually returning one to operation. We held a work session a couple of weeks ago and plan another one for April 19 and 20. Our immediate goal is to improve the appearance of the engines, clean up the building and secure it as best we can. If you would like to come out and lend a hand I'll post more info. about that later. In the meantime here are a few pictures of the engines on our website. http://www.bethengines.org Its good to be back on the SEL. :-) Rick Rowlands Tod Engine Foundation "Preserving Youngstown's Steel Industry Heritage" 2261 Hubbard Road Youngstown, OH 44505 330-272-4089 www.todengine.org http://todengine.blogspot.com/ From listerdiesel at gmail.com Wed Mar 26 11:19:11 2008 From: listerdiesel at gmail.com (Listerdiesel) Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:19:11 +0000 Subject: [SEL] I've Returned!

My mate just recently got a twin cyl. running and it sounds really great (a bit like a John Deere tractor - just better - especially when he just "touches" the throttle). Those barrels seem to be exactly the same (just more on yours) as Nevilles twin and also look very similar to the barrel on my Wolseley Type "R" (circa 1928). Interesting that it seemed a "popular" design at the time and many manufacturers "copied" it. Is this the engine that Arnie asked us (members of the SEL) to donate the equivalent of a weeks supply of beer to a year or so back - If so, I'm glad that my beer went to a good cause!

Even though the Company was global for decades, things were still marketed locally unlike the one flavor mentality today. There is a guy in MO that has a tremendous knowledge of IH trucks. When this guy goes to the big salvage yard in the sky there will be a big void in IH Truck history. Someone should sit down with him and write a book before it is too late.

Years ago, Joe Prindle sent me some Belzona. The intended project never materialized, but I ended up using it on another, much more serious project. The problem was with a cylinder liner on a headless engine. There are four "ears" on the outside of the cylinder. Bolts attach to these ears and "pull" the liner into the cylinder. Over-tightening caused one ear to crack all the way through the liner. The result was that water from the jacket would enter the cylinder--bad news. Brazing would have been appropriate, but I always try to take the least drastic avenue of repair. No heat, no distortion. Besides, I felt bad about not completing the other project and felt obligated to test the Belzona. After bead blasting the area, I cut a sheet metal patch that would extend about two inches all the way around the crack. I forced Belzona into the crack and painted it all over the area. Then I laid the patch into place and completely covered it in Belzona. A day later the Belzona was as hard as a rock and the engine was reassembled. That was years ago and many hours have since been put on the engine. It still runs flawlessly and there are no signs of leakage into the cylinder or gas bubbles in the cooling water. Belzona is good stuff.

Direct link to the pic is: (It seems to have broken in half on my mail programme - I'm sure you guys will be able to sort it out!

About 20 or 25 years ago a mechanic foreman acquaintance of mine implemented the use of Belzona to repair cavitation damage to hydroelectric turbine blades and throat rings. That long ago the price was on the order of $1,400 or $1,500 per *quart*. Even at that, it was a bargain because it was far faster and cheaper to use it than to air-arc out the damaged material, lay in filler material with arc-welders, then, grind it all smooth.

If so, your lucky. I had a parcel shipped by Fedex ground a month ago from the US to me in Canada with shipping paid up front. The parcel came in about 5 days which is fairly fast for cross border shipping. About a month later I got a bill from from Fedex for broker fee, government tax, COD fee and some other charges which came to more than the original order of under $20 US. UPS and Purolator have similar extra charges. I find the only reasonable shipper for small orders is USPS. Only have to pay our post office a COD (usually $5) and any taxes. Besides, orders under $40 usually come through tax free. Rupert William Young wrote: > Rob-san, (1) Please excuse the delay.

G'day Wakai-san, I double-checked; ten bucks to Nippon is what the USPS quotes for a one pound package/envelope. I'll hold on to the goods until the next transient engineman passes through the 'hood. If you're looking for fun stuff during your next stay, be sure to check the calendar: http://wapa.us/calendar.html I strongly recommend the show on May 4. It's held at the March Field air museum. The antique truck guys will be there, and it appears that there will also be an air show that weekend. When I've been in the past, at least since it was an active air base, there has been no iron in the air. The flyer shows four strangely painted F-16's in a tight formation, so maybe this year the Thunderbirds will dazzle us with some precision at high speeds. ?? ????

The reason for the price is that they no longer ship small items by ship like they used to. They now all go air freight via TA DA- Fed-EX. This change occurred about 8 months ago. My BIL lives in Japan and we usually send him Christmas presents and other items during the year. The rate went WAY up. The USPS is still the cheaper way though. I priced a parcel with USPS, Fed-Ex and UPS and even though the USPS used Fed-Ex the rate was still 5 bucks cheaper. If you want to save even more, use the postal calculator online and pay for everything before you go to the PO, you can print out a shipping label and any forms you need and have it ready to go when you walk in the door, you will save 5-7 bucks at the least. -- Steve Williams Firefighter,EMT VanHornesville Vol. Fire Dept From pml1 at bigpond.net.au Sun Mar 30 22:36:17 2008 From: pml1 at bigpond.net.au (Patrick M Livingstone) Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:36:17 +1100 Subject: [SEL] OT: Web authoring on Mac Message-ID: <20080331053554.GAJO11449.oaamta04sl.mx.bigpond.com@PML> A slightly obscure question but almost engine related.

Problem is my wife volunteered us to keep the youngest grandkid, while her parents and older siblings go to Disneyland. Unfortunately, their trip is the same time as the Neunen show :-( Grandma doesn't want to be stuck home alone with a 3 year old while I'm off having fun in Europe. I think I can understand her point of view ;-) We've already told the kids that no more May vacations if they want us to keep the grandkids! Jerry, while you're visiting your brother in Munich you should go to the Deutsches Museum to see their engine collection. I haven't been to the museum yet, but from what I've heard it is supposed to be good.

No big plans to purchase anything but rather enjoy the socail side of meeting and chatting to likeminded engine men. A mate of mine asked if I could drive him to a small town about a hour away from Ballarat to pick up some tractor parts he was after. An interesting long story made short was I asked the tractor guy if he had any engines for sale and before you know it I have purcahsed 6.5hp Walker Star engine No815. I couldn't believe my ears when he said he had no interest 9n the engine and if I wanted it it was XXXDollars. I reasonable price for sure. These are a girder frame engine and run very well. This old girl looked to be in pretty good nick but deffinately needing some tinkering. Well got it home and the word was out quick, a mate came around and talked me into working on it. Well the two of us spent about 3 hours Saturday last and bugger me if we did'nt get it running that day. I don't have photos up yet. It still needs plenty of work, I have it running off the feul bowl with the bottom water outlet plugged to at least flood the barel for cooling. It fires once in about 22 to 24 revoluotions so you don't ned to top up the feul bowl to often.

He's busy and hard to get him to reply to eMail. Just send the payment to him but you've gotta find out what address he uses for PayPal. Last year I seem to remember that I sent payment to the wrong eMail addy and had to cancel it as it remained unclaimed. I eventually found the correct address and it was accepted. I'll reply off list with the address I used but I have no idea if this is where he wants it sent - you'll have to check with him. In the meantime send me the details of the plate you want and I'll start on it. You guys over there can sort out the details - You won the plate on the auction and that's what counts to for me. I'll make it. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

She had surgery Thursday night and is in surgery again Friday to try and save the fingers. Ron is, understandably, hard to get hold of at the moment but I will try and keep everyone informed. The latest news is that they have saved two fingers but one of those is still having problems with blood flow. I will pass on more news from Ron on Liz's condition when more is known.

Having had the end of a finger amputated and reattached about 5 years ago, I know on a small scale what she is going through. There are so many nerve endings in the fingers that reattachment surgery can be very painful for a long time after its over. I had the tip of my right middle finger pinched off about 2 months ago. They sewed it back and its healing and no more pain. This wasn't nearly as serious as the other accident I had as it didn't cut the bone off, just tissue. Still hurt though. We'll be saying some prayers for Liz.

He heated and cooked with wood so that old Plymouth worked pretty regular. Wish I had taken a picture of it. When I was a kid my Dad did the same thing with an old war surplus jeep.

I like to see what's going on, not a big blur of coloured squares! XP does come with all popular codecs I am told, so those on XP should be fine. I think that is most of the videos, I'll go back to the originals now and see if I missed anything. Was Dave's Austral in one of them? I know I took a shot or two of that.

It's as universally acceptable as you can get. By hosting it yourself, you don't have to worry about the quality limitations imposed by YouTube. So why not provide AVI, WMV, and Flash? Oh, and what about MOV files for those of us who represent 7.5% of web traffic? Oh, wait, we can watch ALL those formats already. Let me close with the following parable that might help you in designing your web page: An old man and a young boy were traveling through their village with their donkey. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk. Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying, "How awful to put such a load on a poor donkey." The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. Party on, Garth!

I personally like YouTube because their compression makes even the biggest files download relatively quickly. Whereas it took me about 2 minutes to download the .avi files. I put a few videos of my own on YouTube in .mov format (that's the format my particular digital camera saves them in). I don't know if the .mov format has anything to do with them being clearer, but I've never had any complaints with the way my stuff turns out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjOo4NYSzh4 -Tony At 01:48 AM 3/9/2008, Listerdiesel wrote: >I've given up on getting anything decent in the way of resolution with >YouTube, and have set up a new folder for the video clips that we took >at Portland last summer.

(Well Done "The Webmistress" :-)) Advanced search (in those results) for 15 hp only found about 3 results and none relevant. Neville also has a 6HP (unrestored) and has already stripped a few parts from it for comparison and will be able make (or modify) some of the parts using those from the 6 HP for reference. On "Jim's List" Roland Craven replied: "The 15hp is an uprated version of the 12hp with practically no parts in common with any other size. the 12-15 is also far from common so parts may be a big issue.." I do not think that Neville is too concerned with "availability of parts" - more a case of being able to see what they look like and do so that he can copy and make them. We have a saying in South Africa (in Afrikaans - our other language) "'n Boer Maak 'n Plan" - direct translation is " A Farmer makes a plan". I've not seen the engine yet and am still waiting for Neville to give me a list of what he needs but if an injector is one of the missing "bits" I do not see that as a big problem. I learnt a lot about diesel injectors (from these lists) a few weeks ago when looking for one for my 12 HP Witte CD Diesel. Thanks all. I'll get some pics soon but, as I mentioned, he got this one in boxes so the pics will not be much until it starts going together again.

We searched high and low for one for Jim's Atomic, but couldn't get a sniff of an injector or a nozzle for it. We did have some success with cleaning the nozzle out though, it took a few months of solvents and ultrasonic cleaning to dislodge the crud inside the spray holes. We still look out for those particular nozzles, but have yet to find anything close. We did pick up some bodies and nozzles for a Glenniffer marine engine the other day....

Arotary convertor would require at least a 7.5hp idler motor, thiw would have to run all the while the compressor is being used. A static convertor reduces the ouput of the 3 phase motor so it wouldn't run the compressor, on a mill or lathe you seldom need the full hp, a compressor does. Since you don't need the full ouput of this compressor I would look for a 3hp moptor and a smaller drive pulley. A 5hp single phase should work in place of the 3 phase with the same pulley, hp is hp. It will pull more amps on the 2 legs, but the total will be close to the 3 phase on three legs. The smaller motor should be cheaper and easier to find, the smaller pulley will reduce the load on the motor, you will have to check the amps under load to be sure it's not overloaded. Ssmaller pulley =l reduced load, lower amperage, compressor turning slower, reduced output. Single phase motors are usually harder to find used, most people can't use 3 phase at home. J.B.

A start/run motor with a separate starting winding might be too heavy on current for a domestic supply. The phase changer using a 3-phase motor and capacitors is a good way to go, and is invariably cheaper than buying a new single-phase motor, assuming you can get one the right size and mounting.

The three main browsers all treat this differently, so you'll have to experiment with your own preferences to get the best out of it. IE6 worked best for me, keeping the menu page in the background and running the video on top in the foreground. Opera and Firefox both dashed off to get the video file and then returned to the menu page once ithey had enough code to stream the video. http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/VideoClips/VideoMenu.htm or http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/VideoClips/VideoMenu.htm Choose the website that is closest to you, it does make a big difference on download times.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of them this evening. I think that as so many folks did get the .avi files downloaded and working, that a server problem is unlikely, but as you say, it's a moot point now. The change over to .wmv was made as it was obvious that it was causing unexpected problems with the .avi format, and it was quite simple to change the format and re-send the files to the two sites. As I posted elsewhere, as I have the video editing software, and DirectX9 loaded, I didn't 'see' any file format problems at my end. If I get the time, I will chop out individual engine scenes and make up some video 'quickies' featuring just one engine and one scene of 15 seconds or so run time.

Oldengine.org is a free hosting website for engine nuts like us. Stationary-engine.co.uk and Oldengine.co.uk are 'paid-for' sites that we fund ourselves, it's about $150 a year, as long as we don't exceed bandwidth and storage limits. The speed is particularly good though, which is why we chose that location for it. Our DSL varies, but is supposed to be 500k up and 8mb down, but like most DSL it varies with how many are on the system. We are close to the town and exchange so get a pretty good supply.

Very few people on the list have ever actually seen a good high end machine in real life for sale on a sales floor. As a rule what you see on a sales floor today from Harbor Freight to the big box stores is a compromise for a real compressor. A lot of compromises made to deliver a compressor unit at a competative price in a very competative market. Most of the time when you wonder why you don't see something, all you have to do is think money and thats where the answer usually lays. Two of the big names in cetrifugal unloaders was Curtis and Ingersol Rand. The Curtis is external mechanism and the Ingersol is internal. Top end Quincys are oil pressure unloaders. The Quincy system is a SWeeeeeeet unloader. If you ever seen and heard a Quincy in operation the way they were intended you would simply fall in love. Yah just do not want to be moving them around much, they are a brute of a machine, but oh so sweet.

If you want to install an idler device they are available. We keep them in stock. If your unloader has a tank pressure port that opens when the unit reaches pressure you install a air actuated cylinder with a throttle cable linked to the carburetor.

You will notice that the 2nd baffle tube is interchangeable with a "free flow" tube for when I feel like making a bit of noise but actually this engine runs so quietly that there is very little difference when it's idling along - of course, if I put a load on it there would be a big difference. The silencer I made for the Maytag needed a bit of back pressure and you can read about it here: I know very little (actually nothing :-)) about muffler design - pretty much just stumble along and end up with something that works.

I attended a nearby community sale yesterday and ended up dragging home a huge behemoth of an air compressor. It's a Curtis 2-stage, 80 gallon upright. It wasn't until I got it home and unloaded it that I realized the motor on it is 3 PHASE. I can't run 3 phase in my garage, so if anyone has a single phase motor that would work for this application, I would be interested in buying or trading for this 3 phase unit. The motor is rated at 5 HP. I don't know much about the particulars of electric motors, but I'm guessing I'd probably need a single phase motor with more HP than the 3 phase motor I'd be swapping out... Can anyone confirm that? Here is some of the information on the motor tag: Frame- 184T Horsepower- 5 Volts- 208-230/460 Amps- 14.8-14/7 RPM- 1725 NEMA nom eff. 81.5% Rating- 400 AMB-Cont. PF- 80% I'd also be interested in trading the whole compressor unit for a complete single phase unit if anyone is looking to upgrade. I do not need a compressor this large, but I got a pretty good deal on it, so I bought it anyway. I won't need anything more than a 60 gallon single stage for my uses. I can provide pics of the motor or the whole compressor if anyone is interested.

When you're walking around during a swap meet looking at engine parts often the vendor doens't know what the part fits, just knows it an old engine part. Knowing what the part fits can make the part much more valuable, especially if it is something you can use. I've loaded a picture at this address: www.irontrader.com/graphics/spring.jpg To some people it would look like a spring off an implement or something. While it really is a spring off an engine and I think would be hard to find a replacement. If you have one of these engines you probably know what the spring is for, if you don't take a guess. ;-) George ps I know what the spring fits. Just thought it might be an interesting diversion to post pictures of unusual parts and see if people can guess what it fits. _______________________________________________ SEL mailing list SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com http://www.stationary-engine.com/mailman/listinfo/sel From Germoamer at aol.com Sat Mar 15 15:03:23 2008 From: Germoamer at aol.com (Germoamer at aol.com) Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:03:23 EDT Subject: [SEL] What is it?

This engine has always been easy to start and a good runner. It refused to run and I did some show fixing but finally gave it up and brought it home and let it sit until now. I decided to take it to an upcoming show and did not want to repeat the previous fiasco so I wheeled it into the shop and began to fiddle with it. I got it started and convinced myself it was not getting a good fuel supply. I took the fuel pump apart and made sure the check valves worked and put it back together with almost no change except maybe worse. Well the next thing was to take the mixer apart, when in doubt take something apart, at the very least find something to twist. This is an overflow mixer and there really is not much in it to go wrong, made sure everything was clear and put it back on the engine. I also took the mag/igniter out and checked the spark and it made a nice fat blue spark. I got the engine started after some backfires and flooding which kind of surprised me as it never did this before. The engine was running but rather poorly and sometimes hitting the mag trip 4 or 5 times before firing. I was a little perplexed, after all there is a pretty definite limit to what can be fixed on an engine like this. After watching this bad runner for a while it looked like the mag was not getting a very good trip. I held the trip down with my finger so as to get more rotation on the mag armature and the everything smoothed right out. I took the trip off and reworked it so as to have a longer engagement and get a faster and longer rotation of the armature. Problem solved, runs fine. A mag works by turning the armature through the magnetic field. The hottest spark will be produced by turning through the most lines of force as fast as possible. The mag trip on this engine was one of those thing that wear very slowly until it finally does not work very well. As this happens over a long time it can be hard to spot. The mag worked fine outside the engine with the hand trip.The hand trip never gets used so it works pretty much like it did when it was new which got me convinced that there was nothing wrong with it. Amazing how you can look at something you understand and see nothing until it finally beats you over the head. The upside of all this is that it runs like it used to and I know the fuel system is clean.

I had about the same symptoms with my 2 HP Jack of All Trades. It's battery and coil but it got sorry at a show and I fiddled with it for a while before I took the ignitor out. The points had slowly burned to where they would barely close. A trip to the junk compartment of the tool box and I got a couple of 6-32 screws and some nuts and a file and made a new set. The engine ran fine afterwards and the junk points are still in there.

Note the original colour of this Austral was Black with yellowgreen lining. The finish 1) metal parts were cleaned of dirt then wire brushed using a hand grinder with brush attachment to remove the rust but instead of my usual method of getting the metal to a bright finished I took the rust off and left the metal slightly dark. see finish http://www.oldengine.org/members/kmorris/Webpages/temporary12.html 2) When engine was all assembled I coated it in a heavy coat of BLACK diesel sump oil then wiped off excess. 3) Problem was engine was taken to its first rally and started 2 days later and Brock was kind enough to remove more excess oil on his shirt while starting it 8-)) 4) Engine oil dried over the next two months (Ruth's domestic work) then I coated it with two coats of Penetrol (paint additive) but boiled linseed / turps would be just as good 5) All brass parts were wired brushed but again not to bright finish 6) New (shiny) and old brass parts were coated in sump oil and heated with porta gas torch (Propane ?) until they were hot and sump oil burnt off this gave nearly the effect I wanted and the when the engine was coated with Penetrol those parts I added a little sump oil and the finish was good. 7) Penetrol dried and has kept the finish - it is Black as it should be, has a shine and does look ok.

Not only that but, they're also the most helpful guys I know. I have a friend who has an IHC pickup/truck/ute/bakkie (depending on your language). It's about 3/4 ton. He's been asking me for ages to do some signs for the doors but is being quite specific - his brief is as follows: "When this truck was new it had a very old sign on the door which I took photographs of but which I currently cannot find. It was a circular sign and it said something like "International Harvester Field Service". Obviously this truck was used by International Harvester to provide on farm service. You might want to do a bit of research on this and if you can come up with what appears to be the right signage (if you send it to me I will recognise it) and then I will get you to make special decals for it. In the meantime I will see if I can find these photographs which cannot be far away." Can any of you super knowledgeable members help me out here with pics or even a description of what this signage may possibly have looked like. I know it's a "long shot" but I'd appreciate any input. If anyone can help, it's you guys. Thanks in advance. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

Mine was a T100 and had the Silver Diamond 220 engine and the first-year Warner automatic tranny. The truck was given to me to get it out of the way. I rebuilt the engine, replaced the king pins and brakes and used it for about ten years to haul firewood. It was pretty beat-up when I got it and even more beat up when I sold it for $500, still running fine. I think I cleared about $300 over my cost. One thing I remember clearly was that since this was the first year for the automatic, there as an instruction decal on the dash. The decal read: "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. To go forward, step on the accelerator. To stop, step on the brake."

One is in the 7000's serial number, but the other one was serial 735, nicely below John's known unit. I know a few of us have indicators secreted away somewhere, could you check and see what the type and serial numbers are please? A typical DS1 unit is at: http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/Indicator/Indicator19.jpg Note the McInnes name moulded into the vulcanite at the base. The serial number is stamped into the top face around the other side of the main nickel-plated arm, usually in two places. Any information given is for John's personal use only, and I can give John's email address to anyone who doesn't want to make their own unit's details public. John has also been back to us since then regarding details of the other units that we hold, including a motorised recorder and the Schaeffer-Budenberg unit that we bought at the Woodlands swap meet back in 2003.

Lister also used valve cages, as did a lot of engine makers, but their use died out after better lubrication and valve guide material came along. Cost of production and assembly was quite high as well. BYB says they handled Novo engines, which is what I would guess at as its ancestry, Standard Scale were only agents according to C H W.

And With Even Larger Engines This Time. Message-ID: <041901c88f6c$9164a030$0201a8c0@pengy> Hello from a long lost friend. Thirteen years ago several members of the Stationary Engine List spent a winter in Youngstown helping me dismantle a 260 ton stationary steam engine, and thanks to their efforts we now have a museum facility in Youngstown that contains one of the largest extant stationary steam engines in the world. But what brings me back to the list is another project that the Tod Engine Foundation has become involved with, and that is the preservation of a group of internal combustion engines that make the Tod Engine look small. This is the Bethlehem Steel blowing engine house in Bethlehem, PA. Inside this building are twelve gas blowing engines. Eight are tandem double acting engines, while the last four are truly gigantic twin tandem double acting engines with 28' flywheels. These engines weigh probably close to 1000 tons each and were rated at 5,000 hp. If you have seen the 600 HP Snow engines at Rollag or Coolspring then you know what these look like, but just imagine something several times larger and then multiply that by a dozen. The building has been set aside for preservation, and the Tod Engine Foundation has stepped in to provide assistance in stabilizing the engines and eventually returning one to operation. We held a work session a couple of weeks ago and plan another one for April 19 and 20. Our immediate goal is to improve the appearance of the engines, clean up the building and secure it as best we can. If you would like to come out and lend a hand I'll post more info. about that later. In the meantime here are a few pictures of the engines on our website. http://www.bethengines.org Its good to be back on the SEL. :-) Rick Rowlands Tod Engine Foundation "Preserving Youngstown's Steel Industry Heritage" 2261 Hubbard Road Youngstown, OH 44505 330-272-4089 www.todengine.org http://todengine.blogspot.com/ From listerdiesel at gmail.com Wed Mar 26 11:19:11 2008 From: listerdiesel at gmail.com (Listerdiesel) Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:19:11 +0000 Subject: [SEL] I've Returned!

My mate just recently got a twin cyl. running and it sounds really great (a bit like a John Deere tractor - just better - especially when he just "touches" the throttle). Those barrels seem to be exactly the same (just more on yours) as Nevilles twin and also look very similar to the barrel on my Wolseley Type "R" (circa 1928). Interesting that it seemed a "popular" design at the time and many manufacturers "copied" it. Is this the engine that Arnie asked us (members of the SEL) to donate the equivalent of a weeks supply of beer to a year or so back - If so, I'm glad that my beer went to a good cause!

Even though the Company was global for decades, things were still marketed locally unlike the one flavor mentality today. There is a guy in MO that has a tremendous knowledge of IH trucks. When this guy goes to the big salvage yard in the sky there will be a big void in IH Truck history. Someone should sit down with him and write a book before it is too late.

Years ago, Joe Prindle sent me some Belzona. The intended project never materialized, but I ended up using it on another, much more serious project. The problem was with a cylinder liner on a headless engine. There are four "ears" on the outside of the cylinder. Bolts attach to these ears and "pull" the liner into the cylinder. Over-tightening caused one ear to crack all the way through the liner. The result was that water from the jacket would enter the cylinder--bad news. Brazing would have been appropriate, but I always try to take the least drastic avenue of repair. No heat, no distortion. Besides, I felt bad about not completing the other project and felt obligated to test the Belzona. After bead blasting the area, I cut a sheet metal patch that would extend about two inches all the way around the crack. I forced Belzona into the crack and painted it all over the area. Then I laid the patch into place and completely covered it in Belzona. A day later the Belzona was as hard as a rock and the engine was reassembled. That was years ago and many hours have since been put on the engine. It still runs flawlessly and there are no signs of leakage into the cylinder or gas bubbles in the cooling water. Belzona is good stuff.

Direct link to the pic is: (It seems to have broken in half on my mail programme - I'm sure you guys will be able to sort it out!

About 20 or 25 years ago a mechanic foreman acquaintance of mine implemented the use of Belzona to repair cavitation damage to hydroelectric turbine blades and throat rings. That long ago the price was on the order of $1,400 or $1,500 per *quart*. Even at that, it was a bargain because it was far faster and cheaper to use it than to air-arc out the damaged material, lay in filler material with arc-welders, then, grind it all smooth.

If so, your lucky. I had a parcel shipped by Fedex ground a month ago from the US to me in Canada with shipping paid up front. The parcel came in about 5 days which is fairly fast for cross border shipping. About a month later I got a bill from from Fedex for broker fee, government tax, COD fee and some other charges which came to more than the original order of under $20 US. UPS and Purolator have similar extra charges. I find the only reasonable shipper for small orders is USPS. Only have to pay our post office a COD (usually $5) and any taxes. Besides, orders under $40 usually come through tax free. Rupert William Young wrote: > Rob-san, (1) Please excuse the delay.

G'day Wakai-san, I double-checked; ten bucks to Nippon is what the USPS quotes for a one pound package/envelope. I'll hold on to the goods until the next transient engineman passes through the 'hood. If you're looking for fun stuff during your next stay, be sure to check the calendar: http://wapa.us/calendar.html I strongly recommend the show on May 4. It's held at the March Field air museum. The antique truck guys will be there, and it appears that there will also be an air show that weekend. When I've been in the past, at least since it was an active air base, there has been no iron in the air. The flyer shows four strangely painted F-16's in a tight formation, so maybe this year the Thunderbirds will dazzle us with some precision at high speeds. ?? ????

The reason for the price is that they no longer ship small items by ship like they used to. They now all go air freight via TA DA- Fed-EX. This change occurred about 8 months ago. My BIL lives in Japan and we usually send him Christmas presents and other items during the year. The rate went WAY up. The USPS is still the cheaper way though. I priced a parcel with USPS, Fed-Ex and UPS and even though the USPS used Fed-Ex the rate was still 5 bucks cheaper. If you want to save even more, use the postal calculator online and pay for everything before you go to the PO, you can print out a shipping label and any forms you need and have it ready to go when you walk in the door, you will save 5-7 bucks at the least. -- Steve Williams Firefighter,EMT VanHornesville Vol. Fire Dept From pml1 at bigpond.net.au Sun Mar 30 22:36:17 2008 From: pml1 at bigpond.net.au (Patrick M Livingstone) Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:36:17 +1100 Subject: [SEL] OT: Web authoring on Mac Message-ID: <20080331053554.GAJO11449.oaamta04sl.mx.bigpond.com@PML> A slightly obscure question but almost engine related.
