    Searching for Lanz Bulldog 12HL

    The original kit was made by Emidio GATTAFONI in 2004. But, Emidio is now very aged. I bought mine from him. JT-modelle make copy of this kit with authorisation of the creator if my informations are right. If JT-modelle have no more kits, I don't know who's follow it now. But the HP is also a...

    Best Wishes for 2024, and good luck to all! Now I reamed the center to 9mm. this is for a centering pin, for later. Dismantling the chuck + returning to the lathe to bore the lower part and cut off. Now, I glued the body into an aluminum tube to straighten + ream the upper part. LeZap

    Hi Richard, I agree your point of view, but in my case, it's a challenge I try, as possible, to be close to the original spirit of the drawings. LZ

    Now I'm starting the steam inlet valve, the plans for which are ataached. It is a secondary part which is not involved in the good functioning of the engine. However, and given my somewhat perfectionist side, I will do everything I can to create the piece as faithfully as possible. I will post...

    On the milling machine, what I will call "stupid-assembly" (not to be done!!!) All safety and stops have been dismantled. Fixing at a minimum and even the crank has been disengaged. I turned the frame by hand. Fortunately, precision is not important. It's just cosmetic. The Zap

    Here are the parts of the safety latch. Honestly, I have no idea what this latch is for. Both are cut from solid, the latch is 10mm high and all filed by hand, it is 😭🤬😓👎 to be machined! L.Z.

    The job of the week is the damping cylinder of the governor. Small note regarding the thread, which should have been 7/16" in 36TPI which I converted to M11x70. also look at the thread output obtained with the help of a micrometric stop (a comparator in fact) I still have to break in the parts...

    I continue with the small parts of the regulator. It's difficult to talk about "machining sequence" because there is a lot of handling, changing tools and/or machines. On the other hand, there are certainly several ways to arrive safely.... The two 3/4" balls are bearing balls previously...
