ITS ALIVE

Thanks John, It leaks air like crazy as it is not sealed up yet, not even packing gland stuffing.
Gerhard, I'll try but Bogs does it better than I ever could. It is in his little book on this engine.
Bogs, Thank you for this design. I have never built an engine before or worked as a machinist. Took a Machining course back in "82-83". Never touched a machine tool again until I got my 7 X and Drill/Mill. However I was a mechanic for about 10 yrs after I got out of the army. I'm pretty mechanically inclined.
I started an Elmers beam engine in Jan. but set it aside as the parts were/are so small. Got the flywheel, cyl and piston made. After I get more experience I will tackle it again. Never fear I will make the control valve and oiler too. In fact I cut up the stock for the valve today.
I started these in March and worked on them in all my spare time. well when ever SWMBO didn't have some thing for me to do. :whip: :whip: :whip:
Deere-x475guy After I do some mods to my lathe and make some tools I'd like to try making the John Deere engine that,(if I remember Correctly ) you made.

That is very interesting Ron, this being your first engine. But you do have a little machining experience, so it looks like I was correct in the choice of person for building it. Just a little experienced needed.
Actually the engine is a little large for the bore and stroke it has, but will function perfectly OK for what it was designed for, and it looks like people are making it because of the look and the relative ease it can be built, not for putting it into working mode.
Many thanks for the info

Looks like a very nice engine. You should be proud of what you have achieved with your first complete running engine. Now we want to see some pictures when you assemble the others.
Cheers :beer:

Ron
:bow: to you! That feeling of watching your engine run for the first time is amazing isn't it? Good one.

:bow: to bogs for yet another of his engines running!
