The
dash and gauges are being installed. The pony's governor, carburetor,
air cleaner and starter are installed. |
The
radiator is finally back on the engine. |
The
air cleaner is back on. |
We
have the pony engine running for the first time since we got the engine. |
And
the
diesel fired right up after we bled the fuel lines. |
The clutch and output
shaft are installed. |
We
modified and installed a old band parking brake to keep the output shaft
from turning with the clutch disengaged. |
We
have everything assembled and gave the engine a final coat of paint. |
We
loaded the engine with our HT4 onto the log trailer to transport it to the
sawmill. Then we unloaded it and set it back on the carts to move
into the building. |
A
lot of shoving and prying have the engine in place and secured to the
concrete. We extended the exhaust pipes out through the ridge. |
We
installed a hydraulic pump on the front of the engine and plumbed in a reservoir
so we had live hydraulic power at the mill for whatever use we came up
with. |
This
is the drive shaft from the engine to the mill. To run the saw the
right direction we had to place the engine with the back away from the
mill and run a long shaft alongside the engine to get power up to the
mill. |
Here
is the restored engine in it's working location. |
