Don From Pueblo Co.
« on: September 17, 2013, 05:39:01 AM »
Hi I am a retired John Deere mechanic & shop foreman 35 yrs. at it.

Self though home machinist I have a Bridgeport mill, 13 x 40 in. lathe, and a lot of other things that go with a shop. Once in a while i do repair for other people. 

I have built several models i have

Red Wing water cooled
J & E Junior scratch built
J D 1/2 size of the 1 1/2 HP scratch build
Olds 1/4 scale
1/4 scale hot air eng.
Holt model  if you go to You Tub & search Holt model eng. you will find it, it is Red
I have 5 model steam eng. various makes.
I also built a 1903 replica horseless carriage that i use in parades & tractor shows, one show is at the Royal George & have driven across the bridge several times.  I am thinking about scratch building the Wyvern eng. i have been trying to make the helic gears for the side shaft. I made Chuck Fellows helic gear attachment and it works well, the hardest part is getting the right angles on the temp lets. Hope i didn't bore any of you  Thanks Don

Hi George i want to thank you again for the prints on the split crank case and the water pump also the carb.

The above link should get to the Holt Eng.

If you read this George maybe you could look at my post in tools & fixtures on gear cutters  Thanks Don
