Galloway 5 Hp Make n Break- We Have A Problem
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The first major problem showed up today with the 110 + year old Galloway. So today's video ends showing that discovery. You can never assume an engine this old is going to fire right up, especially one that has seen a tremendous amount of use. That being said, I did expect there to be a few issues. However I do not expect there to be 'life threatening' type of problems. You know, the type of problem that makes it all but impossible to repair. But then again, school is still out on whether or not that is the case. After all, fiddling with old machinery is a lot like shooting craps...ya win some and ya lose some. We just hope to win more than we lose. We will see. #galloway, #make, #flywheel
This looks like such a fun project! I would be willing to bet that the stump isn't a very big one for you. You've got all the skills needed to make that puppy purr again or should i say pop again. Awesome project!!
I've been waiting to get into this for a while now Tony. Too many other things always get in the way. But I am hoping for a bit of luck to show up to help. Thanks for the cool comment.
Great video buddy and old truck mechanic at the shop we took our trucks to before we had our own shop always said if man made it man can fix it and he could he was just some guy I watch on RUclips lol have a great weekend
Hahahaha Tom...I liked that comment my friend. I'm not nearly as qualified as your truck mechanic buddy though. I rely on a lotta luck with every project !!
Hi Wendell, good to see you, I like that engine, old iron is so cool, looking forward to this, have a nice weekend my friend
Well Jan I've not been into these too deep before, so this one will be a learning project for me. Good to see you today. I hope all is well in sunny South Africa.
Always nice watching your videos
Thanks Richard for stopping in once again. There's more to come too.
Good luck with getting the parts!
I'm sure there will be a percentage of new parts available and the same for old parts as well. I don't think ALL parts will be there though. Thanks for todays visit.
We had Acadian Make and Break engines up on the East coast of Canada 🇨🇦. Guys that I used to work for had them on their fishing boats when they were young lads in the late 60 and 70’s. They would pull the wire off the coil and when it was almost stopped, they would put the wire back on and the motor would run backwards so they had reverse without a gearbox!
Hahahaha...that sounds like a cool trick Peewee. I've not heard of that before.
When you were talking the carburetor, its a Lunkenheimer "mixer", the float you mentioned is actually a poppet style valve like the intake and exaust valves. In the seat of that valve is a hole that the gasoline is admitted through, and adjusted by the needle valve that you were referring to as the throttle. I would just braze up and save the old rocker arm, looking forward to seeing this running and hope you put it back on a buzz saw!!!
I'm the first to admit I'm not well versed at all on these engines. But I'm learning. I referred to the mixer as a rudimentary carburetor not recalling the actual name of 'mixer'. That's just the first few of a LOT more gaffs to expect. I get myself in a bit of hot water occasionally because there is nothing rehearsed or scripted. It all off the cuff.
I DO appreciate the input like your comment because that's how we all learn from one another. Thanks again for the cool and informative comment. Oh, the broken end of the rocker is not there for me to braze back in place. The plan is to rebuild the fragments of my dad's old Fairbanks set of trucks they had on the farm after donating that big unit to the WW2 metal collection effort. Then a buzz saw will be the final portion.....IF I get it back running again.
This is gonna be a good one. I can’t wait to hear that running. If anyone can get it running , you can.
Boy howdy....I hope you're right Bob. I'm thinking there's gonna be some problems that haven't shown up yet. Gonna give it my best shot though.
Great Video, Very informative... cant wit to hear it run!!!
Hi Steve!
@@mattthescrapwhisperer Hey Matt!!! Fancy seeing you here!!! ;)
@ I have been following Wendell a loooooong time 👍👍
@mattthescrapwhisperer I came here because you sent him to me or me to him... something like that! 😂🤣😂
@@RustyWrenchRestorations 😂👍👍
What a great video can't wait to see it running
With a l ittle luck and a few bucks, I hope to see it running too John.
That's a shame, Wendell 😕 Hopefully you can find/make a replacement 🔧
Oh, I've got something in the works Zane. Might not be the best solution, but it should work.
I hate it when it all comes to a halt lol but it does happen when you work on that older stuff
Oh man, I expect the worst on every project. The bad thing is this still ain't the worst. It's yet to come I think. LOL. It's gonna take a bit to make this one go.
Cast iron 😱 bummer. Can that even be welded? My guess is no. So I have a question about hit and miss engines. I’ve been asked so many times why they run like that? I think it’s to save fuel.
It may have just been the evolution of things. There's two basic types of one lungers. 'Throttler's' and 'make and break'. The throttlers run a more consistent rpm with this style maintaining a minimum to maximum by various means of flyweights, basically centrifugal force to engage or disengage firing. I don't want to mislead you too far off the path, because I have to admit this is the very first one I've had the opportunity to dig into very deep at all. Heck I don't even know the correct name for all the parts myself. LOL. True story, but we will all learn together.
Good morning Wendell
If I can ever get this thing running, it's gonna be re-connected to a buzz saw for sure. That's what it started its life with many years ago. Thanks for the visit Gary.
Great video come together with time , just hit a little stump in the road . Hope you find one ☝️ or can fix the old one ☝️ . Take care tractor man 44 .
Oh Leonard, I'll do something. Even if its wrong !! Thanks for stopping in today.
I noticed that the pivot hole in the rocker arm was elongated also. Perhaps you can braze up the part and repair it. Back in 83 and 84 I worked on oilfield engines such as Continental, Ajax and Fairbanks Morse but that was years ago
Oh yeah, center hole is worn pretty bad for sure. I'd braze it along with the end, but the end piece is long gone Rick. I'm working on something though. I have to admit though that my knowledge is pretty low on the scale on all these engines. I got the basics down but that ain't saying much.
I'm familiar with that stump. Worst case a fella could braze that rocker arm back up.
I just read your micro thread with Steve at RWR. Thanks for sending him this direction. Yeah, I'd braze the end if the broken parts were there. But they've been long gone it seems, and the broken ends show signs of running many hours just whacking on the pin just being held in place by luck.
@@tractorman4461 I'll keep my eyes peeled for a rocker arm. I know a lot of old engine guys
@@mattthescrapwhisperer My next video (I think) addresses the beginning of the end of this particular problem. But I'm sure there's gonna be more.
@@tractorman4461 👍👍
I would think someone with connections to one of the clubs that specialize in those type engines could help you out. The "Rough and Tumble" show in Pa. has hundreds of engines like those. I've seen shows like that on Kenny Kizzle's channel from Minnesota (I think). Might be able to find some parts around. 👍👍👍
Oh yeah, I'm sure there are gonna be some parts here and there. I joined a couple groups back a few years to start the process of collecting information, but never got around to it. LOL...of course. I got a bit of a response on tictoc and found a few potential sources. But I don't know what all is needed yet. Thanks for the tips, I do appreciate the help.
Great engine,
starbolt engine supply might have a new cast rocker arm. Have gotten lots of parts from them, wonderful people.
Thanks for the tip, I think at least one other has suggested them as well. I'll be looking them up for misc parts I'm sure. Thanks again for watching and for the tip.
You might try 7014 to build up where the exhaust valve has worn into the rocker. On the other end find a carbon arc rod the size of the hole and build up braze around it. May take some die grinder and fileing work to shape it. Also the bore for the pivot pin is often wore out. I don't remember if you have a lathe but you could bore it and rebush to original pin size.AL B.
Yessir Al, the center bore is all oval instead of round. I DO have some carbon arc rods, but they are only 3/8". I thought maybe I could build up the center with stainless rod, if I go the route to repair this one. Yes, I still have the old Jet 14 x 42 lathe and even a hundred year old metal lathe from Chicopee, Mass.
❤ it 👍👍
Something a bit different for a change Tony !! Have a great day my friend.
😊😊 the early gas engines like 👍 😊 that did have ignitor and a coil and battery 🔋 and points 2 run until they went 2 a magneto and the grease cups are old school 🏫 😊 alot of old equipment and machinery did have them they was pre grease fittings they hold grease all of the time ⏲️ 😊 and U still can get points 4 those engines I would clean them 1ST W sand paper and see 👀 😊 if they still spark / most of those style carbs have a check vavle or ball 2 hold the gas in them bowl cabs wasnt made until kater on thst had a float in them 😊😊OMG 2 6 2O25
I'm learning little by little Clarence. Guys like you give me a lot of help my friend. I do appreciate it too. I just hope to see it fire one of these days, but its going to take a lot of work for sure. Thanks again for the help buddy.
