You keep on Brian and you’ll have a belt driven GM Powerglide  :ThumbsUp:

I have reached the point where if I had one more part I would be finished. I cut the sector gear today, then trimmed away the sides and welded a handle to it. Now I have to make the aluminum pivot support to mount the sector gear and handle on.

So here we are with the finished flat belt reversing mechanism being driven by my Philip Duclos designed Hit and Miss engine . The build is a complete success, and I am very happy with it. I'm not sure that I have any real use for it, but it was a challenge to build and I learned a bit along the way.---Brian

Thank you Pete. I do get tired of building engines. Last time I counted, the total was up to either 29 or 30 engines. That includes numerous varieties of air/steam engines, flathead i.c. engines, overhead valve i.c. engines, flame licker engines, and Stirling engines. I like to do something a bit different. Judging by the number of views I have had on this engine, people don't find these strange things I build very interesting, but I find them fascinating and I learn something from every build.---Brian

For me, the video is showing as 'unavailable'.
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem.

Nice result Brian  :ThumbsUp:

I read all post here and include yours. One reason I read them all is that I sometimes learn quite a bit from those that isn't my immediate interest too - so keep on posting as long as you enjoy it too  :cheers:

Best wishes

Engines are wonderful and seeing the ways folks go about designing and building them is very interesting. But nothing but engines can get a bit stale at times. Fortunately there are lot of other areas of engineering to explore and keep things fresh.

I was having a little bit of trouble with the belt slipping on the smooth face of the three part pulley system. The pulleys are far to small to put any kind of lagging on, so I used a vibrating hand held engraver to make a "pattern" on the face of the two outer pulleys. This fixed the belt slippage completely.

One last video before I call it quits. Turn your audio up so you can hear me speaking---I promise it will be funnier!!--Somebody PLEASE let me know if you are able to view the video.--(For some reason I have trouble ensuring that my YouTube videos are set on "public" and not "private".

Yes. I can see it. Very enjoyable! The universal joint was a nice touch!
