An update on the engine project.  It is almost complete and running well.  I may do some of the pinstriping yet and need to mount the name plate but otherwise I think it is about done.  Mounted on the cart I built and now going to work on mounting a small ice cream machine on the cart!  I have had a lot of fun building this and learning new skills!

Impressive work !

That's pretty cool!  A hit & miss run ice cream machine!  You'll be the hit at any party!

Splendid    It's always good to see an engine driving something

Beautiful and mines mint chocolate ice cream please

I'd be interested if you do the pinstriping, its something I've considered by never done, would you do this free hand or use transfers?

Well, here is what i guess will be my final update on this Galloway engine build project.  I finally got it all set up and running and made the first batch of ice cream that turned out great!  I have had a great time building it and learned so many new skills.  Things didn't always go as planned the first time around and I have had to redo a few things to make for better fit and finish but I am happy with the final result.  Here are a few pictures and videos (hopefully they will load ok) to show how it has turned out.  Now on to finding the next project!

That is a great setup.
My uncle made a mini flat-bed pickup out of an old Crosly chasis, and we use to ride around in the back of it in the neighborhood.
It had a pully clutch like that.
Nice work !

That is super cool!  I love seeing one of our motors do something.  And how do you get better than making ice cream!

PS  We should have an ice cream emoji!

Back when I was working on developing hydrogen fuel cells, one of our projects involved building a portable system for a small private school, with the plan that it would be taken to Washington D.C., demonstrating it by powering an ice cream maker at an event in the Congressional Office Building. All went well, except that Ben & Jerry's was also there, also giving away free ice cream. Kinda stole our thunder.  I think your Galloway would have attracted a lot more attention!

At least going to the Smithsonian with the kids was fun.

I remember in the mid 80's when Ben and Jerry opened with a wooden pail ice cream maker and worked it in an old gas station in Burlington, VT. I had an office upstairs in the adjacent building.

So ya never know.... could be the start of something big! Great little engine and setup!
