New from Old / Re: Reviving a Zon Mark 2 Crow Scarer / Propane Cannon
« Last post by awemawson on Today at 05:23:07 AM »Recent increase in crow problems and only rare opportunities to use the crow scarer due to cottage guests with dogs and indeed our own dog.
But the stars came into alignment this morning - wife was off for a dog walk and cottage guests had just departed - so out with the Zon propane cannon - by heck it is loud.
I rang the wife to warn her to let me know when she was on the way back so I could turn it off in time. Turns out she can hear it 1.7 miles away in the woods where she was walking. I knew that it was loud but 1.7 miles is impressive

Made a brass wire hook for the galvanised bucket.
Stripped the black paint/powder coat of the trolley handles.
Made some hardwood handles.

The engine started first go after having oil put in the sump, fuel in the petrol tank and water in the cooling hopper.
The scale and the detail is just incredible. The engine sounds just fantastic purring away and I'm really looking forward to testing out a lot of different accessories after a few break in runs of the engine to see just what its capable of running.

The disks that form the support for the stub axle are 10mm thick but the tube I'm welding to is only 3 mm thick so hard to ensure good penetration in one without burning through the other - or at least that's my excuse !
I did a quick four stripes in the rushy bit of the paddock and it seems to be working ok.
