It has been quite a long time since I have contributed to this forum although I am lurking on it every day. I still enjoy following a lot of the builds and seeing some of the finished engines. I have three Associated engines (2 water cooled & 1 air cooled) that are about 75% done. It has...

I am building a tool post grinder and am trying to make pulleys that will give me a particular speed on the grinding wheel. My target is 6600 rpm on the driven spindle. The motor spindle speed is about 8800. The motor specifies 7000 rpm at full load. This is where I am at this point. I built a...

Having finished the build on the three Associated engines I now have to paint the engines & build bases or carts for them. This involves working with wood and I have little patients with that brown stuff. My brother cut and planed some oak for a cart that I will make. I felt I needed to either...

Has anyone received a copy of MODEL ENGINE BUILDER since issue 21??

I was at an old engine show today and saw a couple home made 4 wheel motorized carts there. Managed to take a couple photos. Later the wife & I were discussing them and thought it might make a nice project for my son & I. He is a cabinet maker and very handy with wood. I have the machinist &...

There has been a lot of discussion on a couple other threads about the Associated engines and I think a new thread just for these engines should be started. I am in the process of completing three Associated engines. Two Hired Man & one Hired Hand. They are built from some of the old patterns...

I belong to the Old Homestead Power Club in the Brainerd area. It is a group of guys that are interested in old tractors, cars, stationary engines, and I guess most anything old & mechanical. We have monthly meetings as well as a few special activities such as tractor parades etc.. They recently...

Well I finally got the drag saw to the point where it will saw logs. All of the hardware is rough finished but functional. Eventually I will disassemble everything and finish & paint it. My brother is cutting and planing some Red Oak for the frame. The final version should be somewhat shorter...

I have been having problems with the computer lately. I keep getting knock out of HMEM. I don't know if it is my computer timing out, or my provider, or HMEM. Is anyone else having these problems??? This is the screen I get. Got it three times already this morning.

Has anyone out there built a clutch that fits scale models or know of plans available for a clutch. I know that DeBolt Machine sells a clutch, but I would rather make one if possible. Would even consider a clutch that engages with the engine running but have to stop engine to disengage.

I plan to attend the N A M E S show in April for the first time and really looking forward to it. My two younger brothers and I are taking a little road trip and I expressed an interest in the engine show and they agreed. Our plans are to drive through northern Wisconsin to the U P of Michigan...

CONGRATULATION CANADA :bow: :bow: :bow: One heck of a good game on both sides.

I would like to put some of my hit & miss engines to work. I have two Red Wings engines that are getting lazy just setting around. I plan to build a "drag saw" for one of them to drive, and would like to build a scale model a "air compressor" for the other one. The compressor would be used to...

Feb 20 2010 -- I HAVE REMOVED ALL OLD PRINTS AND REPLACED THEM WITH REVISION "B" PRINTS. THEY SHOULD SHOW UP IN MY FIRST 6 POSTS. THERE IS ONE SET OF NOTES AND 21 PRINTS. This is a tiny I.C. engine that I just completed. I first saw this engine at the LeSueur, MN. Pioneer Power Days last...

It seems that the videos on both photobucket and you tube are streaming into my computer slower than ever lately. It gets to the point where sometimes they stop every 5-10 seconds to stream in more video. It took me almost ten minutes to watch the video on Georges shop. Does anyone else have...
