P34 is the raw machined half crankshaft
P54 is the mounting jig. this is to have the same centering on both half crankshaft
P55 machining the crankshaft
P56 all the parts before assembling
P57 hot assembling by expansion

The aluminium casting block is aways a problem, because there is no flat side
And you need to check to have, at mins, two faces flat and square at 90°
Boring is also a challenging job, because it's a long bore with vibration risks for the tool.
There is an idea of tooling made from 20mm...
Here is the riveting of the pads on the rims.

Amazing that the small wheels are on the back side of the tractor !

I start the kit with the machining of the wheels. at first, the flanges from bar-stock aluminium foil. After that, machining in steel the diabolo form bearing holder. Four time the same. Start the assembling of the spikes, rims, everything with copper rivets and rivets-gun.
The supplier for the...
Dear all,
I'm really disappointed because I want to be more active on HMEM, but not yet retired and have "only" 28hours in a day.
I start a very exciting model build in Germany by JT-modelle (Tobias & Klaus)
Don't hesitate to take a look on www.jt-modelle.com
Quality castings in Cast-iron...

(Ph 1 3) Then draw the six centers of the three virtual axes of the crankshaft, the master and the two axes of the connecting rod.
Personally, I used my DRO for maximum accuracy, but a carefully tracing with a gauge is just as good. Note that, at this level any error of one tenth of a...
As in my previous guide on machining a V12 crankshaft, I present the steps to build a 4-cylinder crankshaft fit for in-line four-cylinder engine.
The method presented corresponds to my machine tool set and can therefore differ from one person to another. This method is not the only one, but it...
Not yet, because I have approximately 12 kits, special as possible
V12, Corliss, 2x nine-cylinder star, 4 in line inverted, another tractor, Mery explosive engine, "the" Monitor, "Offy" engine, etc...
Enough job to the coffin :fan:

I bough this "kit" many year ago (castings & drawings)
I think, it was the last one coming from his son
I recognize directly the cylinder head and his typical cap

@ aerofourcycle. Yes, two time cast iron together and result is exceptional
Don't forget that my target is to have a slow rpm engine, and is will be better with "heavy" piston. But by the way, compression is very good with less leak between piston-piston ring and cylinder
@Demaic: ik heb geen...
