@michaelnovak4035 Ай бұрын

You are a far better mechanic than I am. However, I'm disappointed that 1) you did not use sockets or at least open end wrenches to remove the nuts, 2) you didn't take the valve assembly to your anvil, and use something a bit less drastic to hit on the valve so it did not shatter, 3) once you had everything apart, you took each assembly to first a cleaning station to remove the old gunk, then to a sandblasting to make everything look at least clean. Yes, you were able to make the engine work again, and if that was your only goal, you accomplished that. I suppose I'm used to restoration folks totally cleaning, stripping, re lubing, and repainting everything so it looked nearly new. I suppose I was expecting more.

@cruddycornstalks Ай бұрын

thank you. for once a polite and honest critique. but! 1) a crescent does no harm to any nut or bolt when used correctly and it didn't, as well as it fits some old bolts better then any socket will since they have rusted smaller over time and aren't standard anymore, 2) had no major care for saving the valve since I had replacements ready and it was bashed in hard from many people before me trying, 3) I cleaned the grease off generally and plan to clean it farther by hand, but I would never sand blast this engine or its parts as the paint and its patina is part of its history and far harder to obtain then any type of paint you can spray at it. it took that paint over a hundred year to get that way and people want to spend a few hours taking it off and putting something anyone can buy at a store on it, no thank you. I did a bunch of little mechanical reworking to remove slop and make the engine run as best as it can and succeeded . when it comes to antique farm machinery it is far more desirable to preserve the nice original paint, then "restore it" . if you have the paint to preserve. thank you for your comment and your thoughts!

if that's what you want to think, good for you. glad they include valve seat cutters , industrial welders, a lathe, a mill, valve grinder, magneto magnet charger, and all the other tools I used to make this engine run and to make this video. it wasn't a restoration I don't know where your getting that from. amazing how naïve some people can be about something they don't know much about. had a couple goals in the video get the engine running and get it running well as well as taking any slop out of all loose components and both where achieved and nothing was ruined or hurt that wasn't already bad or broken . "restoring" as a lot of KZfaq binge watchers say, would be a waste of what this engine is as a piece of history. I only want to preserve the patina the engine has while making it mechanically sound and tuning it till it runs as best it can. anyone complaining about my methods or what tools I used is either not experiences in antique engines or just a keyboard warrior looking for a argument to act like they know better. no nuts where rounded, no bolts striped, no good parts ruined, all original paint and history saved, and the engine runs better now than in the past 80+ years of its life. so maybe rethink your judgement.

Placed in the steel end caps then wrapped eith a 1/4" sheet or possibly. 2-3 1/8" sheets. Eith the steam fully welded, (full penetration welds) then grind and Polish the area. And nickel plate ( heavily on the inside) weld in a ring about 1/2 x 1/2" with a groove for a copper o-ring, the ring inside the outer hoop of plate steel. Tig welded to kerp it in place and sealed. The o-ring seals the end plates. Them having oval holes to sccess the tubes. the fire box only about 12"-24" made from two layers of plate. A 1/4" plate with a 2" spacer, from 1/4" plate. Then another plate of 1/16" or 1/8" with several 2" pipes eith plugs, to allow the inner of the sides to be filled with fine sand, the inner most plated in nickel, with a 20 gauge stainless sheet metal deflector polished to reflect heat. With a 18 gauge sheet on top with holes matching the tubes or depend on the nickel plating. For protection. With a series of rings of tubes 1.5"-2" eith multiple 3/4" tubes coming from it. About 4"-6" long with a leaf blower connected to the big tube. it habing a Small piece of tubing inside with used oil under about 5-10 psi the tubing 3/8" with 3/16 pieces running up the 3/4-1" tubes with about 6-8 tiny holes neat the end of the 3/16" tube with bit plugged. The only outlet being the tiny holes them spraying into a 3/8-1/2" tube about 2" long. Making a nozzle anout 12 of them . With a tiny vhrst plug for each. With insulation protecting the wire, probably switch to nichrome wire, using the tubing as the conductor of current. With 12,v, 30 amps or so have a hot wire over the nozzle with the blower on low, slowly turn on the fuel, maybe use propane to start it. But the red hot wire should start thr oil. Slowly turn up the fuel to grt a fire, then the blower until it doesn't smoke. It should have 60-80 psi in no time. With the glame on a steel plate on a fire btick, for each nozzle, it should heat the fire box to near 1000°f with the tubes bring ,600°f (the air moving through them!) with the water ABOUT 300°-380° maybe run a steam pipe through the box to super heat the steam through a triple pass 2" pipe. Then to the stem engine. Hopefully enough to generate 3kw atleast, 750watts bring roughly 1hp, so 1.25×3=3.75 HP. With losses it vould require up to 7.5-8hp to produce 2800-3kw. Depending on losses and efficiency. A efficient generator could require as little as 4-4.5 hp i would like to produce up to 20 kw eventually, require up to 40 HP. That bring up the other engines, a gas or propane, wood gas engine. Having two cylinders with 8" bores and a12" stroke being a opposed cylinder engine , the balance should be great. Spin up to 1200 rpm max. But normally be 400-600 RPM. With the pistons both up at the same time , but giring one sfter the other. It should run near silent with the long stroke. Thr combustion should be over when the valve opens. Just a whoosh sound with the intake vslve opening just as the woosh is almost over. To help fill the cylinder with air fuel. Making more power. With roughly 9:1-10:1 compression, 2-3 times or more compression than the old engines had! Should produce more power. By about the same multiplier. A tiny 3.5 hp engine with a better cam, more compression, better fuel. 3.5 hp should get to 6-7 easily, the TQ should be greater atleast. And better balance should allow higher RPM is equivalent to much more power!!.... Sorry to ramble! Have a awesome day!

Cool to have this machine powering an alternator or something slightly more period to produce power to charge an Edison battery...

Oh look, an engine that you can actually repair without patented tools and a computer that can only be reset by the manufacturer and is obsolete as soon as the manufacturer goes bankrupt

Are the bolts/nut non standard size so that an adjustable wrench has to be used?

@cruddycornstalks 19 күн бұрын

@@AM-pl2pt someone finally gets it a bit. On these old engines alot of the bolts /nuts are called "large pattern" so in theory they should be one size larger then standard heads. But between a 100 years of rust and or abuse most are somewhere in between and it's safer and more reliable to use an adjustable wrench that will always go tight against what ever you put it on.

Did you put a lead substitute in the gas?

@cruddycornstalks Ай бұрын

There is no need there's nothing in this engine sensitive enough to care nor in most engines from that time. The lead in fuel wasn't as much for a lubricant or dampener then it was an octane booster as there wasn't ever metal lead in gas only tetra ethyl lead and that has no major help over modern octane boosters and oils.

The guy is a hack, broke a valve and that housing for the igniter. Watching him break things is too painful.

@@Michael-ul8bv good to know the person calling me a hack doesn't even know what I broke and what was already broken. Or the fact both had replacement parts waiting. Maybe go learn about something before you try to act like you know better.

it was a 50 50 of gasoline and kerosene. worked best with the grease the engine had without making the green come off.

That's a cool old engine, got an IH LA engine myself, but I cringe when you break out the crescent wrench and hammer, if you would take the time to use the proper tools and leave the hammer in the toolbox you would save yourself a lot of headaches

@cruddycornstalks Ай бұрын

I don't know what people expect you to get the valve out with other then a hammer. A press would have a good chance of breaking a cast iron head valve and or bending it as well. And only people that don't know how to use an adjustable wrench don't like an adjustable wrench.
