- Stuart Number One Steam Engine Repair - This is Part #2 - It started out as an examination/assessment but now I have been asked to repair the engine and make it go. Which I do in this video. There are many more links to my Steam Engine Videos here: www.mainsteam.co.uk .................... IF ANYONE WISHES TO MAKE A SMALL DONATION TO HELP WITH THE COST AND TIME THAT IT TAKES ME TO MAKE THESE VIDEO TUTORIALS PLEASE USE THESE LINKS: www.paypal.me/keithappleton

One of my favorite new finds!!! Love the cheeky humor.... A job worth doing, is worth doing right.
Thanks, I love steam engines, I used to work in a small ND town which hosted a steam trashes reunion every September. That was the highlight of my year, to be out among the old steam tractors and stationary steam engines, the smell of the burning coal, wood, and that hot steam in the crisp Dakota air was an experience to behold. God how I miss those days. Since I was on the police department, I could go behind the scenes and get to know the engineers who kept the old machines working, very educational, and to see those monsters begin to move was simply amazing, the power of steam is a forgotten thing now days. Thanks so much for a look inside the machines to see how they convert steam to liner motion.
Dalton still hosts every year in MN. I haven't been the to ND one yet and longer term would like to
Keith I must agree with you that the sound of a steam engine running slowly weather on steam or compressed air, when the timing is set right , is indeed a very sweet sound indeed thanks for your time and efforts and for all the great videos you have made and will make
have a great day and a better tomorrow
I grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch near Piñon New Mexico. We had two pumps that were made in the early 20th century. They were single cylinder Fairbanks motors. We ran them on propane. They had huge flywheels. Once ran a large pump jack for a 1500 foot deep water well, the other ran a twin leather ring water pump that drove water uphill 300 feet to stock tanks about 4 miles. Watching you work on steam engines reminds me of then Fairbanks motors. I overhauled both motors when I was about 12-14 years old. They were far more simple than v-8 engines and were great learning tools for a kid who loved old machinery. I honed the cylinder of each motor using a sprung honing device attached to a 1/2 hp drill. I rebuilt the magneto and replaced the rings and crank bearings with OEM parts made in 1918. I may be wrong but it appears that these steam engines you work on were the foundation of the Fairbanks motors. They are so similarly built that I can’t help but think a steam manufacturer just modified an old steam design for internal combustion. Well, I’ve rambled in far too long about my past and thoughts. Thank you for your videos. I so enjoy watching you work
That made very interesting reading - thank you - Merry Christmas }:-)))
Keith Appleton. Merry Christmas and I pray you have a terrific new year :)
Thank You - here's hoping that 2019 will be a good Year }:-)))
Video reminds me of tuning old carburetors. Adjust, access, adjust, access, adjust, sneeze while turning wrist..... start over. Thank you for sharing these series. I really do enjoy them. After watching many of your videos, I'm almost to point of attempting a steam engine build. All your warnings through out the series are very helpful and apply to many machines. Thank you again for sharing!
Thanks for making such a long episode I realise it's a great deal of work for yourself but it's so much more involving like this. Thank you.
What a wonderful video and I have a great deal of joy watching and learning as you narrate and explain the time that it takes to correct and make an engine run well......
good job MR Keith !!! you should make a video and put it on a loop so we could just listen to them run i put on your steam engines running every night to help me fall asleep. the sound is so relaxing !!!
That's god damn ASMR Genius right there.
So there is a steam engine at my university and the only reason I'm able to name parts is thanks to Mr Keith. Didn't think I could pay that much attention... Guess I was wrong. Keep it up Keith.
bang on good job Keith I really enjoy your narration of your videos quite entertaining and educational.
Just as I get home another on of your wonderful video has just been posted.
Great video, also thanks for the coma warning. Almost slipped into one.
ultraviolence! great video as always!
Thanks for editing. Three and a half hours would have been too much for me. Which is probably why I still have a very pretty compound engine in need of timing sitting on my desk.
Love my De Walt power tools too.
it really took me a while to understand that the steam is being blown in the valve chest and not the sliding valve itself...
it all makes sense now :D
You should end each video with just 30 minutes of the engine running with no talking. LOVED IT! Thanks.
toysareforboys wtf have i seen you on a other RUclipsrs channel
What can I say, I get around :)
I found it very useful!
Most excellent.
Very good.
He's a magic man, momma.
I sat through a lecture on how paint dries. It's very hard to bore me to sleep.
Great stuff :)
you should do a video on the removal of broken tools, taps reamer etc.
If only I had the time . . . . . .
Although you removed the silicone gaskets from the steam chest and cylinder cover I assume you made new gaskets. There was a cotter pin in part of the linkage and wondered if that was a normal item?
yes and yes }:)))
Nail=Hillbilly cotter pin, do you have those in the Brittish isles?
Yes, very much so }:-)))
what would be the consequence of using ball bearings for moving parts, as to avoid the "total loss oil" scenario?
Full ceramic bearings, zero lube ever. Would love to see that :)
Jacques Jamieson Historical inaccuracy and unnecessary difficulty.
I would agree with that . . . . :-)))))
Plus even ball bearings require some oil.
@@stephenwoods4118 There are a lot of very small sealed bearings used on RC cars and boats. No oil needed.
Kieth, you opened this box to make an inspection of this engine. Did you contact the owner and get approval to make the repairs you are showing us? Three hours and counting is going to be a hefty bill for the owner to pay.
Yes of course I did .....
The rapeseed oil doesn't go rancid?
it seems to be fine . . .
Dude , your video's rule
Thank You {:-)))
I am concerned by the amount of usage you make of the crescent wrench (adjustable spanner). I always feel the crescent is for securing a larger work piece that a smaller wrench will be used on.
Keith, no doubt you have mentioned the ratio of steam, mechanical and rape seed oil mix somewhere on your video posts but can I ask again what it is please. Cheers John.
I can't remember ..... approximately 50% steam Oil, 25% machine oil and 25% Rapeseed oil I think . . . .
Keith Appleton Cheers Keith, John.
Keith Appleton I am so impressed by your erudition and craftsmanship. Great kudos, sir!
One thing: does the vegetable-oil component not oxidise over time? I have visions of hauling an engine from the attic, and finding a gummy varnish covering most of the working parts….
I know this is an old video and no doubt irrelevant to you now, but your life may be improved by using a piece of gasketed Perspex for the steam chest cover. I know as much about steam engineering as I do makeup though, so if of no use, by all means eat the comment.
the perspex soon gets oiled up, steamy and wet so it's difficult to see what's going on if you are running the engine on steam - OK on compressed air though .....
