The Hubbard 1912

Looks nice Bob. But why have you opened that hole unther the exhaust? Normally it stays closed & you need to glue the nameplate there.
Also boring already the hole for the glowplug you better not done I think. Because the liner come there also & the glowplug need to come in the liner also.
Now you need to line up the whole casting again fot boring & tapping the casting & liner.

How did you perfectly centered your casting to make the holes for the bearing holders??

Hi Barry,
Had a chance to machine a little more on the Hubbard. Basically I just bored out the big end a little to accommodate the bearing holders and drilled and tapped for the 1/4-32 plug. No pictures but I also drilled for pump mounting
screws.
When I get a chance I plan to mark and center punch holes for bearings or may start turning piston.

Hello friends,

First off all I have to tell you that my mother died this afternoon in the clinic.
The cancer was stronger than she. She was 66 years old.

Good, the engine go very slow. I need to think more than I can build. I have still a lot to learn....
But the flywheel is done right now:

Also I build the liner. This was a very bad job to do....There are a lot of diamont hard spots in that piece delivered tube. Impossible to turn those away , so a little grinding with a dremel , turning,........But is is ok now I hope so. Take a 5 - 6 hours to make it.

So now I have to find some time to build another piece.

Hi Dave,
I still have mine, need to fine tune a few things. Had a real short run but believe i need to work some more on the carb setup. Have had a lot of other things come up along the way so I put on back burner.
Are you building one? Look forward to hearing about your progress.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the reply. I've often looked at this engine and wouldn't mind having a go at building one. Problem is, I have quite a few other projects in the pipeline. Next question to self is Do I get myself another project?

Greetings all. I have ordered the casting kit from Herr Kornmueller and have been searching the web hoping to find someone that had completed this kit. I see your last post was over a year ago. Did you finish it?
