Oldtech Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Very cool piece. Pretty sure it's not automotive, but don't know what it is. Maybe try Smokstak? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 My guess would be marine. But it could just as easily be a hoist engine. Stephenson link reversing mechanism. So something that either needs to go back and forth or up and down under power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 That really is a neat old piece with the engine attached to it's own firetube boiler. I hope they keep us informed of the progess they make on it's origin and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figboy 112 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 one update, it was purchased in PA at the Cabin Fever expo. Not sure what that was, maybe old agro stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If it were mine I'd try getting it to function with compressed air. Don't think I would trust the boiler..........Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a meet where mechanical things are bought and sold and includes an auction of items too. Cabin Fever is the name of the auction company that runs it. It had been held at the Lebanon PA fairgrounds, not sure if that’s still the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Harper Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I believe the Reading steam carriage used a similar setup with upright cylinders attached to a fire tube boiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
