Karl Benz engine 1886

Saw this yesterday at the Petersen Automotive Musuem. Cool. (This is a replica)

I think Mercedes built about 50 replicas a few years back. I went to an antique auto swap meet in Chickasha, Ok every year, and one of the treats was seeing some of the fabulous local car collections. One man had one of the Mercedes replicas of the Benz Motorwagen. He told me he had never driven it. it was just for show. (This individual has since passed away, and his entire collection has been sold off) As far as I know, these replicas were fully functional and designed to be driven. The original Benz vehicle was taken on a fairly long trip by Benz's wife, to visit her mother, and I think the length was about 25 miles round trip. She did it by herself, and had no trouble during the trip. So Benz built a good car, and the engineering was certainly sound. I would LOVE to drive one of these replicas one day. You can't get any further back in motoring history than that!

Ciao, hai le foto della lavorazione del albero motore? Sono un po in difficoltà per questo lavoro! Come l'hai fatto? Grazie mille

I only have a photo of the part finished crank but this is how I made it in one piece on my Warco 240.
I roughed out the two end diameters leaving +2mm for cleaning up. Then holding the long end in collet chuck mounted in the four jaw to get the throw. I machined the centre and inside faces of the flanges to width and to the large diameter. Patience is key here. I then did the conrod dia to size.
I made two adjustable pieces to maintain the gap between the flange faces. (These were also used when profiling the flanges.) A small alloy block drilled and tapped 6mm plus a 6mm bolt and backnut to lock. I superglued this between the flanges. Put the long end in the collet chuck and centre in short end and turned short end to size. Reversed and turned long end to size.
