Michael Peternell Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) One for the motor heads. One of the other projects going in the shop. Friend did the math this morning and came up with 371cu inches per jug. Seems a bit underated for 60hp. LOL! Edited January 6, 2018 by Michael Peternell (see edit history) 1

Joe in Canada Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Now that is something I think most mechanical nuts would enjoy spend the day tinkering with.
J.H.Boland Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 I've often wondered how far one of those things would throw you if it backfired while you're pulling down on the flywheel ! 1
Dandy Dave Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I've started stuff like this. My advice is always be sure to Retard the Spark.
Restorer32 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I broke my arm cranking a '28 Autocar. I pucker up every time I see someone at a show cranking an engine around and around. Saw a guy doing that but he insisted the welding glove he was wearing would protect his wrist and arm.
46 woodie Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I just watched those videos and the friendly people at O.S.H.A would have a field day with that vehicle!!! I can see now why farming accidents killed or maimed so many people back then. Everywhere you look is something spinning and trying to grab loose clothing or an arm.
J.H.Boland Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) An uncle of mine used to run a steam powered threshing outfit. One day his keen ears picked up an unfamiliar sound in the engine's workings.Not wanting to disrupt the threshers, he climbed up on the boiler for a closer listen.He suddenly found himself naked from the waist down ! A loose key on the crankshaft had caught his pant cuff and ripped them off. Embarrassing, but he lived to laugh about it. Edited January 7, 2018 by J.H.Boland (see edit history)
Restorer32 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 We are near Amish country. Frightening to see those 6-8 year old Amish kids climbing around running equipment or walking barefoot thru the foundry.
cahartley Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Hey Michael........here's the one I resurrected for a friend. It's on the sawmill at the Baraboo show....... In answer to J.H.Boland's question, you'd better be ready to let go of the flywheel if you forget to retard the timing before starting or a search party may be in order....... 1
Michael Peternell Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Hauled jug's in for boring and dropped off piston to be recast. Piston Without wrist pin and rings 88.5 lbs. With wrist pin and rings-113.5lbs.
