The steam valve switches to push on the back stroke, at the end of the

Zero rpm torque? Sounds like a calculated thing based on the maximum force
the piston applies to the crankshaft. I assume the crank lever arm is 1/2
the stroke. This Case locomotive only has one cylinder. That makes the
zero rpm torque = (1/2bore)squared X pi X steam psig X (1/2 stroke).

I've got a 2 bottom, I think 16" rollover plow. The Super M walks away with it
but that's a 3 plow tractor.I should make a video some day, its pretty Rube

Check out the YouTube videos of those traction engines beating the pants off
modern diesels in tractor pulls -- once you get them pulling hard, if the
firebox is stoked properly (as in a full bed of coked out coal) the harder it
works the more air you pull through the firebox and the more steam
You could see the balls spinning on the governor on top, that was cool.
I liked how they had all those people working the plows. I want some

We like to stop at the Amish stores up north. They have "fry pies" that are to
die for.
The best ice cream I've ever had was when we went to the Coleman convention in
Charlotte. An Amish guy was making it from scratch with an ice cream maker
belted to an old John Deere hit and miss engine. The

Well, it's a one-lunger, and they said they're running 180PSI somewhere in the
videos. Looks to be a foot or so in
Now I'm having visions of Amish guys going to the beach to ogle the
underdressed English, like a former coworker used to like to go down to
the beach at Cozumel to look for 'exotic birds'. (beware of exotic
iguanas)

Yeah, never missed a meal when I had to call on our Amish customers.
Funny, as there’s a big community of Amish and Mennonites in Bradenton, about
45 minutes south of here. They do all the requisite furniture building and have
a couple of big “family style” restaurants that also sell pies and ot

These gatherings were south of FtWayne out in the country. They had the

big pulley wheels (like 4ft diameter or more) driving large leather

I'd forgotten that the old steamers had chain drive steering.

There were few 150s built, and no known survivors.
They built that replica from the original blueprints, which amazingly
did survive.
