Testing Vintage Jim Dandy Pecan Cracker - Will be used with Hit and Miss Engine
This is a quick test video! I am restoring this ca. 1942 pecan cracker. This video shows slow motion views of the "Rube Goldberg" mechanism as I figure out how it works and how to adjust the machine. The only documentation I found was the original patent papers which were not very helpful! It only cracks the pecan-- it does not shell it.
Made in San Antonio, Texas, I bought it at a tool sale in 2019.
"Theoretically" it is supposed to be automatically adjustable to crack (not shell) pecans.
Any constructive comments will be appreciated!

      We did not remove the glass scale. The mounting brackets are separate. Not sure if if this answers your question. The instructions that came with the kit were, actually, pretty good. Please email me if you need more info and I will try and help. Thanks for your comment!

    Great job. Your understanding of the ignition system was incorrect. It is a high voltage ignition system and the low 180ohm resistance of the LED across the spark gap was effectively shorting it out.

    @ropurser4902 3 месяца назад

    It's so great to see this video!! I found [and still have] one exactly like this one in 1972. Way before the internet, which brought me to this. I haven't had mine running for years but am going to get it running again and hope to power a line shaft machine shop I put together many years ago. I use a big electric motor to run it all the time but I have a smaller throttle governed enclosed crank that I've used before. I just want to get this out and running again. Mine still has the tin box with the knife switch and a model T coil like this one. When I dragged it out of a junk yard in 1972 the rocker arm was broken and missing but I figured that I could make something to braze on that would work but it would be a lot of trouble and thought. Imagine my happiness and surprise when in cleaning out all the junk in the water hopper I found that whoever broke the rocker arm off in the past was thoughtful enough to put it the the water hopper to be found! I brazed it up and it worked great. I had it running for years [after much trouble without the help of the internet] and with a load on the flywheels it would keep certain RPMs pretty well. I need 250 RPMs on the main shaft so the spring trick I just learned will most likely to come in handy. That and a bunch of pulleys. I'm so grateful to see this! Mine also has the same [but weary and rusted out] gas tank too. I now see one can even buy a new gas tank! Who'da thought?

      @@Radiotexas I used to tend gas wells in Titusville PA, very close to the "Drake Well". There was an old central power on one of my lease roads. It was all over grown but the turn table was visible. The engine was missing its cylinder. Way back at end of that lease was a small service rig with 1943 license plate. There was tree growing up inside the derrick and animals has chewed all the rubber of the tires. I spent 48 years in the oil field. I'm retired now, but work part time making fishing lures.
