John Deere type w

[Jakediesel06]

Hi I’m new here. I’m looking to get a casting kit for a John Deere type w or something similar to that does anyone know where to find something like that.
Thankyou Jake.

I am not aware of a kit.
You could 3D model it, and make your own kit.

There was a fellow at NAMES in 2019 (remember that model engine show that use to be held up north? It was called NAMES, which I think now stands for "Not A Model Engine Show" anymore, sarcasm intended, put the pitchforks away).

He had it running at the show.
He made all the patterns, and had it cast in iron.

You could build your kit a bit smaller.
This would would be a bit heavy to lift and set on the table.

I wanted a Galloway casting kit, but not at the size that was available, so I have started making my own 3D model, and will cast my own kit.
It can be done.
This is the 21st Century.

So once he made the plans he sent it to a place to be casted. What was the place called ?

I am not sure the exact location he used, but most folks in the northern US seem to use this place.

If you are down south, there is a small foundry here:

I am not affiliated with either of these companies.

Well, not a "W", not castings, or even I.C.
Another one of Chucks great "Air Engines".

But...it is Green.
