John Deere Engine Video Updated

[cfellows]

Here is an updated video of my completed JD Engine. You can see the adjustable balancing valves under each cylinder. These valves don't usually need adjusting once the cylinders are balanced. That's why they just have a screw slot and don't have handles. The overall speed is controlled by a ball valve.

Sounds like when you drop the four bottom plow into new earth in the spring. Very scale sounding. Quite unmistakable. :bow:

Chuck, of all of my engines, gas, steam/air, the John Deere is the one I play with and show off the most. You should be proud of that design. It is yours. :bow: :bow: :bow:

I am looking forward to next winter, when you are settled in your new home, have Alibre mastered, and have the new air "Hoglet" designed and built.

Thanks, Arv.

I've got my shop pretty well packed up. If things go according to plan, we'll be out of this house mid june or so. Don't have a house in Austin yet, so I have no idea when I'll have my shop set up again. I do know it can't be soon enough!

Guess I should use this time to practice Alibre...

Chuck:
Great little engine there! I really like the sound, it reminds me of my younger days raking hay with a trip rake behind a tricycle style John Deer. Kept me busy trying to steer at the small end of the field while using the hand clutch and pulling the rope to trip the rake all at the same time.
Fascinating build and a familiar color.
