Back in 2004 I spent a Saturday at the Portland engine show. While there I picked up a Nelson Brothers built MacLeod with a Webster mag. This is the Nelson Brothers 45 degree angled bracket. ? It has always been a bad starter so I have not done anything with it until now. For the Buckley show this year I need a couple more good running engines. I pulled the Webster bracket off and the movable shaft has a bit of slop in it. ? With the medical issues I have been through lately and the time missed at work I don't have much in the way of engine cash right now. I can't afford what a shop here wants to charge for this. I would like to send this to someone who would be willing and able to drill and bush the hole to take the slop out of it. I would be happy to pay a reasonable fee. ?

Not saying your wrong because I do know how fast they charge but when you start putting in an average of 15,000 screws a week you will be tossing those light weight batteries away. In all the years that we have been using the cordless drills we (Myself and crew and they supply their own) have found that the best drill for screwing on metal is either the 14.4 volt or 18 volt NiCad Dewalts. I actually find the 14.4 XRP to be the best one even though I have more than a few of each. The biggest thing you find out when putting in that many screws is the Lith batteries don't weigh enough to offset the recoil of the tool when the screw hits home causing your wrist to twist farther than with the heavier NiCad's with can assorb more of it. The only way to avoid this with the Lith batteries is to use the new impact drivers but they also have the draw back of not running fast enough. You can put in 2 screws to 1 with the regular drills. Your quick charging time is offset by the quick run down time and it is more than 2 to 1 so your charging 2 plus batteries to my 1. Still don't believe me, join me for a day on a barn roof and you will see. Until you use the tool like I do don't tell me I can make all the claims I want to, there not claims, there the truth.

I am not going to continue this. Please don't fall off a barn roof. I don't spend much time on roofs any longer. You like what you have and I will like what I have. These 18 Volt Lithiums last longer and charge quicker than the 14 Volt NiCads that I just retired to the scrap heap. Play safe.

I ran my 4hp (large version) Lorenz for a few minutes on the 1st. It's the one engine I have where I can walk into the barn and within a few seconds have it running. Almost always starts on the first pull of the flywheel which is to trip the magneto. I've got other engines that would also start easy, but they all need batteries and coils hooked up and I don't keep batteries with the engines. Plus they also would need some fuel as I don't keep gas in their tanks as well. The old trusty Lorenz is the one I keep gas in just in case I want to run a engine for myself or to show to a visitor. This is the second oldest Lorenz that I know of in the USA. I'm sure Arnie could quickly confirm this or not with that Lorenz registry he maintains so well. ;-) There is a youtube clip I posted 3 years ago of this engine running, just search for "4hp Lorenz".

I did see with my own eyes, hour upon hour of dedicated time, to climbing over, around, under, and through all kinds of rusty memorabilia with pen and notebook in hand supposedly making known to the engine collectors of the world the long awaited information from the Data plates of these great Czech engines.

I like to think of him as my benchmark of "slackness." Just the other day it occurred to me that I have had a very original 1.5hp Novo sitting on my workbench for several years and the last time I saw it run was when my brother Steve leaned into the spark plug as he was trying to crank it and it lit him up so good he danced around the shop cussing up a storm. Then I'll be darned if he didn't lean into it again on the nest round and I thought he was reenacting the scene from "The Green Mile" where they lit up the prisoner in the electric chair. I still see him dancing and shouting to this day. Ahh, memories. Oh, back to Arnie. So anyway, last Fri I put it all back together, took it outside and ran it for the New Years day crank up in Arnie's honor. After all, if I can have something in pieces for years and still beat, "The Yank Returns" or the restoration of the "Fero Compressor" or the "Lorenz Registry", then I at least am "not as slack as Arnie." Isn't that the universal cry of engine men and women everywhere? Every Sat morning all over the world we as a group are putting things together and making them run, and in the back of our minds you are repressing yelling out, "by Ned, at least I am not as slack as Arnie." Once again cementing the common bond we all share, that no matter how bad it gets, when we run out of money, injure yourself on a cord or cordless drill, or you just put it off a bit, you always have the luxury of saying, "at least I'm not as slack as Arnie." Well gentlemen and ladies, I don't take that luxury lightly or for granted. So here's to you Arnie, a toast to the Potentate of Procrastinators, the Emperor of Excuses. You my friend, make us all look just a little bit better and I for one say thank you, oh Sultan of Slackness!!!!

I even admit to having used him as an example to make my own procrastination look trivial. I have unfinished projects in both engines and tractors that I seem to never find time to work on. Thanks to Arnie, I don't feel the need to complete them. Unfortunately, Arnie does find time to read these postings and most likely we have only encouraged him to seek even higher levels of procrastination. The Lorenz Registry is surely doomed now.

You my friend, make us all look just a little bit better and I for one say thank you, oh Sultan of Slackness!!!!

Now wait a minute, I think you guys are too hard on Arnie. I like to think of him as my benchmark of "slackness." Just the other day it occurred to me that I have had a very original 1.5hp Novo sitting on my workbench for several years and the last time I saw it run was when my brother Steve leaned into the spark plug as he was trying to crank it and it lit him up so good he danced around the shop cussing up a storm. Then I'll be darned if he didn't lean into it again on the nest round and I thought he was reenacting the scene from "The Green Mile" where they lit up the prisoner in the electric chair. I still see him dancing and shouting to this day. Ahh, memories. Oh, back to Arnie. So anyway, last Fri I put it all back together, took it outside and ran it for the New Years day crank up in Arnie's honor. After all, if I can have something in pieces for years and still beat, "The Yank Returns" or the restoration of the "Fero Compressor" or the "Lorenz Registry", then I at least am "not as slack as Arnie." Isn't that the universal cry of engine men and women everywhere? Every Sat morning all over the world we as a group are putting things together and making them run, and in the back of our minds you are repressing yelling out, "by Ned, at least I am not as slack as Arnie." Once again cementing the common bond we all share, that no matter how bad it gets, when we run out of money, injure yourself on a cord or cordless drill, or you just put it off a bit, you always have the luxury of saying, "at least I'm not as slack as Arnie."

Here's a money saving tip for you who can do your known repairs. Monday we had a little cold snap here in mid-Florida. Thirty-one degrees F. I waited until things warmed up a bit, 36F, then drove three miles to the Court House to turn in a lic. tag. When I returned to the parking lot, I noticed a rather large puddle under my truck. I knew I hadn't been running the A/C, so it couldn't be good news. And it wasn't; it was diesel fuel. I sped back to the shop and popped the hood. Investigation lead to a leaking drain valve on the fuel filter. I called Ford Parts Dept. and was informed that it is common for the valve to leak during a cold snap an the fix was a complete new valve assembly. I asked the price and almost spit out my teeth. My cost was $51.75 with a list of $75 and change. They told me they had sold 4 valves that morning and were out of stock for a few days. That turned out to be good luck for me. I had looked in the shop manual at an Illustration of the fuel filter body assembly and knew there were two "O" rings tom seal the valve body to the filter can. Of course F-O-R-D doesn't sell the "O" rings. I removed the valve for a look-see. I noticed the "O" ring was thick and almost a "square cut" outside and the inside hole was beveled on both sides. I cleaned off the flaking yellow dye coating, turned the "O" rings over. This made the "O" ring "stand" off a few thousandths and I knew it would seal against the "ball" on the spool valve. I removed the "spool" valve, removed the "O" ring and replaces it with a common xxx108 "O" ring and reassembled the valve and re-installed the valve on the filter can. Walla, no leaking fuel and I'm $51.00 better off. I hope this little bit of information will help one of you some day if your valve goes to leaking.

Now I'm guessing that I'm more like most of the folks on the list in terms of having a "projects list" that will probably outlast me. And it has a couple of projects that can surely be considered "vintage" as they've been "on the list" as long as I've been in the hobby. So, the thread topic for a cold winter day with the snow drifting ever higher against the shed, what are the "vintage projects" on YOUR projects list? These are those projects that, like fine wine or good cheese, just get better and better the longer they sit. I'll start out with a couple of mine... I'd been a fan of old engines for years before I got my first piece of rusty old iron. That first project was a really sad old two-cylinder duplex water pump that I got at auction for $10 back in 1994. That's what started the acquiring phase of my participation in the hobby. That ol' water pump is STILL on the list; but it is NEARLY done. She's all restored, painted, and fully functional. All she lacks now are some long high-crown hex bolts to finish her off. And the hex stock is even sitting on the bench by the lathe. My first engine was a 1-1/2 HP IHC "M" that I bought in 1996. The seller ran it for me by putting some gas in the mixer bowl. After I got it home, I cleaned it well and decided to build a proper "M" cart. That project took a while and when finished I decided to give the "M" a good run. Poured gas in the tank and it ran out the bottom faster than it was going in. I decided that tank replacement was a job for "another day" and the engine went under the bench (and became the second entry on the "vintage" list. That one finally came off the list when I converted the engine to propane and hot tube ignition in time for the 2006 Coolspring show. She's been a regular at shows ever since. My second engine is STILL on the projects list. This is a 3-1/2 HP United, TG kero burner. That was a 1996 auction purchase that had been "cobbled" to high tension ignition by a previous owner. I decided to restore it to original features. The bronze body mag was a pricy hunt and the ignitor was also a lengthy hunt. I'm currently "working" on the plumbing for the fuel system, the two compartment tank, and building the ignitor trip linkage. One day she'll be a runner... 8-)) So, how 'bout you? Have you got any of those "vintage" projects on YOUR list that just keep getting better with age? Don't be shy, you're NOT alone!

This is OT, but here we go. I married near on 44 years ago and moved from my Dad and Mum's house, to the original (Grandpa's) house on the farm.I started out on painting the house, which was a big wooden building going back to 1880. 30 years later, family grown and gone, my wife said "we're moving to your father's house". He and Mum had now passed on. I objected. We moved. The old house still stands, painting still unfinished. Teddy (Sorry, no snow, warm, dry 70 to 80 degrees daily.)

As most of you know, I've only been involved in this hobby since about 2004 but had the interest for many years before that. I grew up on a farm and my Dad had a small Lister "D" coupled to a 32 volt genny for lights in the house. I was at boarding school but during school holidays it was my job to start the engine every evening. That "doef, doef, doef" sound every night was as much a part of farm life as the squeaky windmill. I moved to the city but always longed for a Lister D to restore - just to be able to run it occasionally for the nostalgia. Then about 25 years ago living in the suburbs finally got too much for me and I bought a smallholding about 30 miles from Johannesburg. The first thing I bought was a Massey Ferguson 35 tractor which was running but in bad condition - I restored it which was a pretty easy job, the most it needed apart from painting was a new clutch and wiring. (If you live in the country you've gotta have a tractor - not so). My Dad had farmed with MF 35 X's (the diesel version - mine was a petrol paraffin model). Then in about 1985 I found a Massey Harris Pony which I just had to have. It was complete (but painted grey) with its single furrow (manually operated) plough (plow) but not running. I brought it home as a "future project". I had a business in town and time was very short for hobby projects and it stood outdoors for nearly 20 years. I had many people enquiring to buy it during that time but it was "Not for sale!". I even earned the nickname Jerry "Not For Sale" Evans !! Horrors, I've just realised that I almost became a FATG !! Then in about 2004 I made the discovery that collecting vintage stationary engines and restoring them was a world wide phenomenon and very popular. I met a few local collectors and the bug bit - I caught the sickness for which there is no cure :-) I decided to get started on an engine or two purely as a precursor to restoring the Massey Harris Pony. Well the rest is history. I've done quite a few engines in that time and have more than 50 "future projects" in the shed most of which I will probably not get done in my lifetime (but they are safe from the scrappie there - that's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)) Oh, and the Massey Harris Pony - well, it's still a future project but at least it is now under cover and on blocks - also safe from the scrappie. I have not removed one bolt or nut from it - it will remain that way until the day arrives (if ever) that I know that I can afford the money and time to start the project and see it through to completion. I have seen too many similar projects started by the unwary end up in boxes never to be completed. I have also, since acquired a Massey Harris Sunshine Harvester which will one day make a great display with the Pony but it's also a "future project" and also under cover - safe from the scrappie. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. P.S. It's frightening to suddenly realise that I was so close to being a FATG :-) At 06:42 PM 09/01/2010, you wrote: >George's post got me to thinking (as many of his posts do). > >Now I'm guessing that I'm more like most of the folks on the >list in terms of having a "projects list" that will probably >outlast me.

Arnie, Dave, can I sign you on as consultants? We'll get some younger guys to wield the wrenches. Rick Rowlands Tod Engine Heritage Park Youngstown, OH Here's the orginal post.

The model Eclipse was first. I pulled it out of its hidey hole a couple of days after new year. It had not been run for a while so it needed a little TLC to get it back up to scratch. It is now cleaned up and running like a clock. The next job was to fix up old no.1 engine: the F-M Eclipse. The governor had been playing up at the Young rally so it did some repairs and another slight modification and it is running a lot better. It is an early model so the govenor detent is different to the later ones and not as positive in its action. I can see why it was changed. Yesterday I dug out the 2nd 1hp R&V and got it running as well. It is still not running as well as my other 1hp but a little more work will sort it out!

Or if you don't own a French engine do you know of any French engines in collections? I currently have 3 French engines. A Bernard air-cooled engine which is French, although not really a collector type engine. So please limit responses to the flywheel type engines. My other engines are a 1910 5hp vertical Ceres and a 1920's vertical 3hp(?) DUX. I do know of a 3 or 4hp Japy in California. I know of a questionable French sideshaft in Nebraska, but I say questionable as it had no tag. The owner at that time had it shipped from France and thought it was a French engine although it was very much like the lesser known Czech engines I've seen. Any other French engines?

This engine was totally seized solid and missing many parts (Arnie and the Cloistered Roysters can confirm this(Mike took many pictures and refers to it as his engine which we are looking after / restoring)) Work on this particular engine is progressing slowly all the missing parts have been cast and machined including a new flywheel as the original was found to be cracked across the hub and 2 spokes.The cylinder has been rebored and sleeved, new rings installed most of the external parts have now been freed off and refitted sop hopefully we shouldn't be to far away from seeing if it will run.

Its an early one with 1 flywheel and a large pulley in place of the 2nd flywheel. Although I know they sold 1 flywheel versions, I think the two flywheel engines look nicer. Also the larger Japy engines don't have the 4 spoke flywheel that has kind of an interesting look and appeal. Hope to see you at Nuenen in 2011. Not much chance I'll be there this year although if current plans fall through I might talk myself into a quick Nuenen trip.

Hi List members, We've been through this all before. There is a "scammer" in our midst again! We went through this a year or so back (and for a few years prior to that as well). This scammer's "Modus Operandi" (sp.) is always the same - he's being doing it for a good number of years now. This scammer "hijacks" a list members e-mail address (usually a chap whose initials are "A.F" - actual name and address withheld to protect the innocent!). He makes promises that he (or his accomplice in Britain) is finally "writing" a page which promises to "update" the "Lorenz & Benz engine registry" (a non -existent webpage). In fact all he is doing is gathering your personal information (and address) to enable his henchmen to "uplift" your Lorenz or Benz engine. You are urged to ignore his (forged) e-mails. It's just a "scam" and, if you do reply, then do not say that you weren't warned when your "Lorenz or Benz" engine mysteriously disappears when you least expect it. There are other list members who are also aware of this "scam" and I'm sure that they will respond to my warning! Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

Amazing, I put some fresh fuel into the carby and cranked it up - off it went, it even kept running on the old crap in the fuel tank after the fresh stuff ran out. Cool.

It is an art movement (like goth or punk or emo) based in the idea of what the world would have looked like without the gas engine if everything was run by steam. It is a growing movement and you can usually tell which ones they are cause they look like something out of any Jules Verne novel walking down your street. Unless you work in the entertainment industry, it can be kinda weird to spot. They are highly creative with their props and do some fantastic work. That said you really have to do your due diligence.

It still has a long way to go and one or two of the links in the menu do not work (simply because I'm still waiting for information for those pages). (I'm beginning to understand how Dolly must feel waiting for Arnie to do the Lorenz Register :-)) The committee are real keen about some ideas but when it gets down to sending me information it's like drawing blood from a stone!) One pages is still filled with "Lorem ipsum" (That latin text that printers use when doing a rough layout) because, again, I'm waiting for others !! I'm quite proud of the "banner" on the top right - all my own work :-) Please have a look: I'd really appreciate some criticism and input. The pages are opitimised for monitors set to 1360 x 788 pixels so may not look too good on lower resolutions. I'd like to know what others think. Also, it was designed for a decent browser (Firefox) - That thing from Microsoft (IE) renders the colours in the menu incorrectly and also screws up some of the page formatting but I'll get down to sorting that out later.

It depends on the number of folks watching and working. If they have a lot they do a progression type show where they demonstrate the oldest technique, then the rotary plow and then the latest gear (which are specially shielded chain saws using non toxic lube for the chain). If they only have a smaller crowd they use the rotary plow. -- Steve W.

Let's settle this disagreement is like gentlemen. I'll ante up an engine, and you ante up an engine, just to make the contest interesting. I'll quaff a pint of my local liquid refreshment, and then you'll quaff a pint of yours. The better refreshment will be determined when the opposition decides that he's had enough of his own, and concedes. After our recent visit to your neighborhood and sampling the local concoctions, I've been doing some taste testing. Most recently, I did a side-by-side with Maker's Mark and Glenlivet. Apples and oranges, but I wanted to compare the qualities of each. The complexity of the bourbon was much more exciting than the scotch, which I found almost monodimensional. I'm left wondering if that would be the case with all bourbons and all scotches. Next on the agenda is a side-by-side of Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve, the preferred libation of that engineman from Versailles.

The plow isn't made to cut completely through the ice sheet but to score it deep enough that the cut guides the saw used later.The usual depth of cut is around 8 inches or so.

Without them it is very hard to stack in the ice house. The plow would cut down deep enough that the finish cutting was faster and straight. Most ice houses were built to fit a certain number of blocks per layer and each layer was stacked in a different direction to keep them stable. Using a wedge would be faster, but there is no way to keep the cuts square. -- Steve W.

I ran my 4hp (large version) Lorenz for a few minutes on the 1st. It's the one engine I have where I can walk into the barn and within a few seconds have it running. Almost always starts on the first pull of the flywheel which is to trip the magneto. I've got other engines that would also start easy, but they all need batteries and coils hooked up and I don't keep batteries with the engines. Plus they also would need some fuel as I don't keep gas in their tanks as well. The old trusty Lorenz is the one I keep gas in just in case I want to run a engine for myself or to show to a visitor. This is the second oldest Lorenz that I know of in the USA. I'm sure Arnie could quickly confirm this or not with that Lorenz registry he maintains so well. ;-) There is a youtube clip I posted 3 years ago of this engine running, just search for "4hp Lorenz". Can't post the youtube link at the moment, since I'm at work and youtube is one of the many sites they block access to from work.

The engine belongs to the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club in Vermont, but the engine is in Illinois. The magneto gear is fine, but 4 or 5 teeth on the drive gear are missing. It's about a 4 inch gear. The numbers on the gear are: A13-398 and 26-2-4. The name 'Leori' is strange to me, so I wonder if that is correct. I would think it would be "Leroy". I don't know if the engine is gas or diesel.

I like to think of him as my benchmark of "slackness." Just the other day it occurred to me that I have had a very original 1.5hp Novo sitting on my workbench for several years and the last time I saw it run was when my brother Steve leaned into the spark plug as he was trying to crank it and it lit him up so good he danced around the shop cussing up a storm. Then I'll be darned if he didn't lean into it again on the nest round and I thought he was reenacting the scene from "The Green Mile" where they lit up the prisoner in the electric chair. I still see him dancing and shouting to this day. Ahh, memories. Oh, back to Arnie. So anyway, last Fri I put it all back together, took it outside and ran it for the New Years day crank up in Arnie's honor. After all, if I can have something in pieces for years and still beat, "The Yank Returns" or the restoration of the "Fero Compressor" or the "Lorenz Registry", then I at least am "not as slack as Arnie." Isn't that the universal cry of engine men and women everywhere? Every Sat morning all over the world we as a group are putting things together and making them run, and in the back of our minds you are repressing yelling out, "by Ned, at least I am not as slack as Arnie." Once again cementing the common bond we all share, that no matter how bad it gets, when we run out of money, injure yourself on a cord or cordless drill, or you just put it off a bit, you always have the luxury of saying, "at least I'm not as slack as Arnie." Well gentlemen and ladies, I don't take that luxury lightly or for granted. So here's to you Arnie, a toast to the Potentate of Procrastinators, the Emperor of Excuses. You my friend, make us all look just a little bit better and I for one say thank you, oh Sultan of Slackness!!!!

Now wait a minute, I think you guys are too hard on Arnie. I like to think of him as my benchmark of "slackness." Just the other day it occurred to me that I have had a very original 1.5hp Novo sitting on my workbench for several years and the last time I saw it run was when my brother Steve leaned into the spark plug as he was trying to crank it and it lit him up so good he danced around the shop cussing up a storm. Then I'll be darned if he didn't lean into it again on the nest round and I thought he was reenacting the scene from "The Green Mile" where they lit up the prisoner in the electric chair. I still see him dancing and shouting to this day. Ahh, memories. Oh, back to Arnie. So anyway, last Fri I put it all back together, took it outside and ran it for the New Years day crank up in Arnie's honor. After all, if I can have something in pieces for years and still beat, "The Yank Returns" or the restoration of the "Fero Compressor" or the "Lorenz Registry", then I at least am "not as slack as Arnie." Isn't that the universal cry of engine men and women everywhere? Every Sat morning all over the world we as a group are putting things together and making them run, and in the back of our minds you are repressing yelling out, "by Ned, at least I am not as slack as Arnie." Once again cementing the common bond we all share, that no matter how bad it gets, when we run out of money, injure yourself on a cord or cordless drill, or you just put it off a bit, you always have the luxury of saying, "at least I'm not as slack as Arnie." Well gentlemen and ladies, I don't take that luxury lightly or for granted. So here's to you Arnie, a toast to the Potentate of Procrastinators, the Emperor of Excuses. You my friend, make us all look just a little bit better and I for one say thank you, oh Sultan of Slackness!!!!

Here's a money saving tip for you who can do your known repairs. Monday we had a little cold snap here in mid-Florida. Thirty-one degrees F. I waited until things warmed up a bit, 36F, then drove three miles to the Court House to turn in a lic. tag. When I returned to the parking lot, I noticed a rather large puddle under my truck. I knew I hadn't been running the A/C, so it couldn't be good news. And it wasn't; it was diesel fuel. I sped back to the shop and popped the hood. Investigation lead to a leaking drain valve on the fuel filter. I called Ford Parts Dept. and was informed that it is common for the valve to leak during a cold snap an the fix was a complete new valve assembly. I asked the price and almost spit out my teeth. My cost was $51.75 with a list of $75 and change. They told me they had sold 4 valves that morning and were out of stock for a few days. That turned out to be good luck for me. I had looked in the shop manual at an Illustration of the fuel filter body assembly and knew there were two "O" rings tom seal the valve body to the filter can. Of course F-O-R-D doesn't sell the "O" rings. I removed the valve for a look-see. I noticed the "O" ring was thick and almost a "square cut" outside and the inside hole was beveled on both sides. I cleaned off the flaking yellow dye coating, turned the "O" rings over. This made the "O" ring "stand" off a few thousandths and I knew it would seal against the "ball" on the spool valve. I removed the "spool" valve, removed the "O" ring and replaces it with a common xxx108 "O" ring and reassembled the valve and re-installed the valve on the filter can. Walla, no leaking fuel and I'm $51.00 better off. I hope this little bit of information will help one of you some day if your valve goes to leaking.

Now I'm guessing that I'm more like most of the folks on the list in terms of having a "projects list" that will probably outlast me. And it has a couple of projects that can surely be considered "vintage" as they've been "on the list" as long as I've been in the hobby. So, the thread topic for a cold winter day with the snow drifting ever higher against the shed, what are the "vintage projects" on YOUR projects list? These are those projects that, like fine wine or good cheese, just get better and better the longer they sit. I'll start out with a couple of mine... I'd been a fan of old engines for years before I got my first piece of rusty old iron. That first project was a really sad old two-cylinder duplex water pump that I got at auction for $10 back in 1994. That's what started the acquiring phase of my participation in the hobby. That ol' water pump is STILL on the list; but it is NEARLY done. She's all restored, painted, and fully functional. All she lacks now are some long high-crown hex bolts to finish her off. And the hex stock is even sitting on the bench by the lathe. My first engine was a 1-1/2 HP IHC "M" that I bought in 1996. The seller ran it for me by putting some gas in the mixer bowl. After I got it home, I cleaned it well and decided to build a proper "M" cart. That project took a while and when finished I decided to give the "M" a good run. Poured gas in the tank and it ran out the bottom faster than it was going in. I decided that tank replacement was a job for "another day" and the engine went under the bench (and became the second entry on the "vintage" list. That one finally came off the list when I converted the engine to propane and hot tube ignition in time for the 2006 Coolspring show. She's been a regular at shows ever since. My second engine is STILL on the projects list. This is a 3-1/2 HP United, TG kero burner. That was a 1996 auction purchase that had been "cobbled" to high tension ignition by a previous owner. I decided to restore it to original features. The bronze body mag was a pricy hunt and the ignitor was also a lengthy hunt. I'm currently "working" on the plumbing for the fuel system, the two compartment tank, and building the ignitor trip linkage. One day she'll be a runner... 8-)) So, how 'bout you? Have you got any of those "vintage" projects on YOUR list that just keep getting better with age? Don't be shy, you're NOT alone!

This is OT, but here we go. I married near on 44 years ago and moved from my Dad and Mum's house, to the original (Grandpa's) house on the farm.I started out on painting the house, which was a big wooden building going back to 1880. 30 years later, family grown and gone, my wife said "we're moving to your father's house". He and Mum had now passed on. I objected. We moved. The old house still stands, painting still unfinished. Teddy (Sorry, no snow, warm, dry 70 to 80 degrees daily.)

As most of you know, I've only been involved in this hobby since about 2004 but had the interest for many years before that. I grew up on a farm and my Dad had a small Lister "D" coupled to a 32 volt genny for lights in the house. I was at boarding school but during school holidays it was my job to start the engine every evening. That "doef, doef, doef" sound every night was as much a part of farm life as the squeaky windmill. I moved to the city but always longed for a Lister D to restore - just to be able to run it occasionally for the nostalgia. Then about 25 years ago living in the suburbs finally got too much for me and I bought a smallholding about 30 miles from Johannesburg. The first thing I bought was a Massey Ferguson 35 tractor which was running but in bad condition - I restored it which was a pretty easy job, the most it needed apart from painting was a new clutch and wiring. (If you live in the country you've gotta have a tractor - not so). My Dad had farmed with MF 35 X's (the diesel version - mine was a petrol paraffin model). Then in about 1985 I found a Massey Harris Pony which I just had to have. It was complete (but painted grey) with its single furrow (manually operated) plough (plow) but not running. I brought it home as a "future project". I had a business in town and time was very short for hobby projects and it stood outdoors for nearly 20 years. I had many people enquiring to buy it during that time but it was "Not for sale!". I even earned the nickname Jerry "Not For Sale" Evans !! Horrors, I've just realised that I almost became a FATG !! Then in about 2004 I made the discovery that collecting vintage stationary engines and restoring them was a world wide phenomenon and very popular. I met a few local collectors and the bug bit - I caught the sickness for which there is no cure :-) I decided to get started on an engine or two purely as a precursor to restoring the Massey Harris Pony. Well the rest is history. I've done quite a few engines in that time and have more than 50 "future projects" in the shed most of which I will probably not get done in my lifetime (but they are safe from the scrappie there - that's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)) Oh, and the Massey Harris Pony - well, it's still a future project but at least it is now under cover and on blocks - also safe from the scrappie. I have not removed one bolt or nut from it - it will remain that way until the day arrives (if ever) that I know that I can afford the money and time to start the project and see it through to completion. I have seen too many similar projects started by the unwary end up in boxes never to be completed. I have also, since acquired a Massey Harris Sunshine Harvester which will one day make a great display with the Pony but it's also a "future project" and also under cover - safe from the scrappie. Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa. P.S. It's frightening to suddenly realise that I was so close to being a FATG :-) At 06:42 PM 09/01/2010, you wrote: >George's post got me to thinking (as many of his posts do). > >Now I'm guessing that I'm more like most of the folks on the >list in terms of having a "projects list" that will probably >outlast me.

The model Eclipse was first. I pulled it out of its hidey hole a couple of days after new year. It had not been run for a while so it needed a little TLC to get it back up to scratch. It is now cleaned up and running like a clock. The next job was to fix up old no.1 engine: the F-M Eclipse. The governor had been playing up at the Young rally so it did some repairs and another slight modification and it is running a lot better. It is an early model so the govenor detent is different to the later ones and not as positive in its action. I can see why it was changed. Yesterday I dug out the 2nd 1hp R&V and got it running as well. It is still not running as well as my other 1hp but a little more work will sort it out!

Or if you don't own a French engine do you know of any French engines in collections? I currently have 3 French engines. A Bernard air-cooled engine which is French, although not really a collector type engine. So please limit responses to the flywheel type engines. My other engines are a 1910 5hp vertical Ceres and a 1920's vertical 3hp(?) DUX. I do know of a 3 or 4hp Japy in California. I know of a questionable French sideshaft in Nebraska, but I say questionable as it had no tag. The owner at that time had it shipped from France and thought it was a French engine although it was very much like the lesser known Czech engines I've seen. Any other French engines?

Its an early one with 1 flywheel and a large pulley in place of the 2nd flywheel. Although I know they sold 1 flywheel versions, I think the two flywheel engines look nicer. Also the larger Japy engines don't have the 4 spoke flywheel that has kind of an interesting look and appeal. Hope to see you at Nuenen in 2011. Not much chance I'll be there this year although if current plans fall through I might talk myself into a quick Nuenen trip.

Hi List members, We've been through this all before. There is a "scammer" in our midst again! We went through this a year or so back (and for a few years prior to that as well). This scammer's "Modus Operandi" (sp.) is always the same - he's being doing it for a good number of years now. This scammer "hijacks" a list members e-mail address (usually a chap whose initials are "A.F" - actual name and address withheld to protect the innocent!). He makes promises that he (or his accomplice in Britain) is finally "writing" a page which promises to "update" the "Lorenz & Benz engine registry" (a non -existent webpage). In fact all he is doing is gathering your personal information (and address) to enable his henchmen to "uplift" your Lorenz or Benz engine. You are urged to ignore his (forged) e-mails. It's just a "scam" and, if you do reply, then do not say that you weren't warned when your "Lorenz or Benz" engine mysteriously disappears when you least expect it.

Amazing, I put some fresh fuel into the carby and cranked it up - off it went, it even kept running on the old crap in the fuel tank after the fresh stuff ran out. Cool. This came about because one of my neighbours was fool enough to say it has been much quieter since I sold my engines ;).

It is an art movement (like goth or punk or emo) based in the idea of what the world would have looked like without the gas engine if everything was run by steam. It is a growing movement and you can usually tell which ones they are cause they look like something out of any Jules Verne novel walking down your street. Unless you work in the entertainment industry, it can be kinda weird to spot. They are highly creative with their props and do some fantastic work. That said you really have to do your due diligence.

It still has a long way to go and one or two of the links in the menu do not work (simply because I'm still waiting for information for those pages). (I'm beginning to understand how Dolly must feel waiting for Arnie to do the Lorenz Register :-)) The committee are real keen about some ideas but when it gets down to sending me information it's like drawing blood from a stone!) One pages is still filled with "Lorem ipsum" (That latin text that printers use when doing a rough layout) because, again, I'm waiting for others !! I'm quite proud of the "banner" on the top right - all my own work :-) Please have a look: I'd really appreciate some criticism and input. The pages are opitimised for monitors set to 1360 x 788 pixels so may not look too good on lower resolutions. I'd like to know what others think. Also, it was designed for a decent browser (Firefox) - That thing from Microsoft (IE) renders the colours in the menu incorrectly and also screws up some of the page formatting but I'll get down to sorting that out later.

It depends on the number of folks watching and working. If they have a lot they do a progression type show where they demonstrate the oldest technique, then the rotary plow and then the latest gear (which are specially shielded chain saws using non toxic lube for the chain). If they only have a smaller crowd they use the rotary plow. -- Steve W.

I have never seen one as they used hand saws around here during the ice age. Rural power came in around here in the early '50s. Bye the way, most ice houses in this area were in the ground like shallow hand dug wells.

Let's settle this disagreement is like gentlemen. I'll ante up an engine, and you ante up an engine, just to make the contest interesting. I'll quaff a pint of my local liquid refreshment, and then you'll quaff a pint of yours. The better refreshment will be determined when the opposition decides that he's had enough of his own, and concedes. After our recent visit to your neighborhood and sampling the local concoctions, I've been doing some taste testing. Most recently, I did a side-by-side with Maker's Mark and Glenlivet. Apples and oranges, but I wanted to compare the qualities of each. The complexity of the bourbon was much more exciting than the scotch, which I found almost monodimensional. I'm left wondering if that would be the case with all bourbons and all scotches. Next on the agenda is a side-by-side of Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve, the preferred libation of that engineman from Versailles.

Perhaps what you say is true, but I still think mine is better. Let's settle this disagreement is like gentlemen. I'll ante up an engine, and you ante up an engine, just to make the contest interesting. I'll quaff a pint of my local liquid refreshment, and then you'll quaff a pint of yours.

Without them it is very hard to stack in the ice house. The plow would cut down deep enough that the finish cutting was faster and straight. Most ice houses were built to fit a certain number of blocks per layer and each layer was stacked in a different direction to keep them stable. Using a wedge would be faster, but there is no way to keep the cuts square. -- Steve W.
