I ordered the electronics from Roy Sholl at S/S machine www.cncengines.com. Great guy to talk with. He has an article on the set up in the Jan/Feb Home shop machinist. If you are going to use this set up some of the dimensions do change on the distributor bushing and distributor driver. He also...

A very Merry Christmas to all you folks. And I thank you all for the information and ideas I have gained from this site.

I also plan someday to build the Snow. Have the book and purchased the ignition system, seals, and the gears. I will be following along with your build. I have an old Smithy lathe and an X2 mill. But am curious as to what CNC machine you are using?

Outstanding job you are doing there. And great build pictures, please keep them coming.

I ordered one in Nov. and got it in 10 days also. Very good book.

Thanks for the reply.

I have a Smithy AT300 lathe. The motor went. It is 1650 rpm if I put on a 1750 or 1800 rpm will this change my threading speeds or mess with them?? I don't know any thing about electric motors or what changing the rpm will do.

I would have to say that is not a bottom tap. It appears in the photo that the firs thread is tappered to start the tap therefore not a bottom tap. If ya grind the tip off and grind that first thread off, ya than you will have a bottom tap. Any bottom tap I have seen is flat at the bottom and...

Now that looks like it will turn out great. Looking forward to more posts & pics.

Great shots. Bet everyone enjoyed their time there.

Great pictures. Thanks for posting them.

Some Field Marshal farm tractors used a blank shotgun shell to start with I believe.

Thanks for the replies. Will try both of these as I have a couple differant kits to build. Thanks again.

OK guys here I must be going brain dead. How do you machine the center throw on the pre-formed cranks? I have done a couple cranks from flat stock and machined the center throw first, than the bearing shafts. But for some reason can't picture how to do this throw with a pre-formed crank. Didn't...

Looks like you are off to a good start. Couldn't help but notice the loco frame in the background. Was that done on the sherline too?

I have been looking at your engine picture and am wondering, that column look like it may have been the yoke from an auto trans? Guess I have worked on too many autos in my time. Just wondering. Thanks.

Now that is a nice looking engine. Great job on that one.

Very nice looking rods. You are off to a good start.
