including me.
RR, great finds! I love them all! I have found several mortise locks here. I didn't know what they were until I posted them. I'm still trying to clean them. One guy told me to just soak them in motor oil for 6 months and they would be rust free. Well, that didn't work.

Not bad, RR. Most don't like the traditional version tweaked with, and most that tweak it black balled for doing so. But as far as a rock rendition, that was pretty good.

rook,
Yep shortly I'll be off for my daily walk....currently doing about 45 minutes each way with a coffee break in between.
We probably both could give a lot of the youngins a run for their money....
Here ya go Uncle. You could ride instead of walk!
These engines (I think) are single cylinder.
There are ports you can see the piston through (not shown) and the "hot bulb" at the front of the engine is the ignition point.
They are pre heated usually with a torch. 1100 plus degrees F.. (!) if recalled right.
A lanz as shown uses the tractors steering wheel to crank it. Kinda interesting.
(You could build one in your living room next winter...
)EDIT. Lost the video dang it...Had an ol timer driving it like a champ.
This one shows the flywheel turned by hand instead of removing the steering wheel and part of it's shaft like on older models.

WD,
You can probably get the rust off using apple cider vinegar. There's quite a few videos on youtube I believe showing the process.

I loathe, hate, despise, and detest when people mess around with the Anthem. As far as I am concerned, the only people who sing it well, are the military servicemen and servicewomen. These guys did a good job with it though.

Plus last year (thanks to the guys on My Daily Snapshot Forum) I got enlisted as one of the official photographers. Rumor has it that the other lady quit, and I don’t know if I am now the only one or what? We need about 5 or 6. I’ll post pics and make sure they are within forum sizes.well,bring them along
