Another Part Build.....
cidrontmg:
From ebay? There was one very similar to this, but I gave up before bidding, itīs too big for my shop! Did the nice young man, in a big white van, also bring, or have you arranged from other sources, any drawings for it? Itīs a lovely engine, when fully built, and at that size, it could pump plenty of water also, if you wanted to press it into service. Rider-Ericssons have a lot of action in them, when working!
A very nice find. Plenty of bits still to do, to keep you occupied for a while!
:wave:

Thanks for your comments Chaps! :thumbup:
It was posted on Ebay, Sunday Night. So, I posted the link on here.....
Next morning, the BIN was still there! Ok, said I, I'll have it!
It arrived, from Morecambe in 25hrs.
It's been somewhere a little damp. Very mildly furry. No problem, at all......
What you see is what there is. Seems very well made, by Grandfather, who passed on some time ago.
I can see someone keeping a memento which turns round an round, an bobs up an down. But, throwing away the "bits of junk"...... ::)
I will probably contact Myers Engine Works, for the missing bits. Just thankfull, all the large parts which I can't do are done.
Lots to learn, yet! :scratch:
Had a quick lesson in flywheel inertia...... Got me finger between the rocking beam, and the top of the water jacket!

You're lucky Dave, I nearly had that one.
I sent him a request to see if he had any of the missing bits. When he said no, I gave up on it.
Life is getting a bit short for me to go around searching for bits any more. I like things very straight forwards nowadays.
It should make up into a great engine, and you are the one to do it.
