Other Slow Speed Diesels / What? Can be there a Bamford? NO, IT WAS CUTTED FOR SURE!
« on: September 04, 2022, 10:26:30 AM »
Bob, Gentles

That fly was cut off for sure. Stress only occurs (I think, otherwise is a metal fail) at pulley side.

And metal stress shearing doesn't have scratches of the saw teeth on it!

And yes this blue sky still here, AND SO IS THE DROUGHT!

And yes, I know Where is a set of 2 flys with crank. and I could fix it, BUT now I'm after rarities. Already have my 12/2.

As I said before, they are spotted, and if any member wants to make a tour to take one, half of work is done! Capisci?

Cheers

Other Slow Speed Diesels / What? Can be there a Bamford? No, only a 12/2 vandalized
« on: September 04, 2022, 12:24:38 AM »
2nd parish, had 6 sites to see but only one was wide open - and vandalized - it has a 12/2 of 1953, but someone cut main shaft to take one fly.

See the disgrace!

3rd parish, had 3 sites to see, but one was dismantled, other was water wheel and dismantled, and the other demolished to bild a home.

4rd parish, had just one site, and it was wrecked, and dont know if there is something inside.

Found another in same street ant it has a 12/2 rusty but I think fair condition.

After that it was time to dinner (16h30), and nothing than a delicacy and a beer. After that heading home... and 450 km done.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / What? Can be there a Bamford? SATURDAY TOUR

At the 1st parish site only remnants of a very old olive oil plant, and by its look it was fully manual.

At the same site a very old well with water chain bucket to be run by cattle.

And a beautiful medieval water way.

A few pics for the show... and it goes on!

Using mask, because is wide area and environment get dusty.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Lets see! WIRE WHEEL ON BLOCK!

Bob, Gentles

A few hours spent with the block of the German, passing the wire wheel.

A first pass, because some spots need more deoxidiser to clean in order to receive fresh primary.

A pic for the show.

Cheers.

PS: But first got to take out cam shaft!

Started to sort bits and put them with each place in order to assemble them later.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? OFFICIAL COLOR
« on: August 31, 2022, 09:40:52 AM »
Bob, Gentles

Official color of Deutz was "Braunrot RAL 3011 oder grau RAL 7037".

It means brown red and gray, with RAL codes.

I'll order in same guy that made me the MBG, the RAL 3011, but enameled and heat resistant. And glossy!

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Sand! In german cast iron?
« on: August 30, 2022, 11:52:19 PM »
Gentles, Bob

Another consequence of 2nd world war (In my thoughts) is the sand I found in external of the Deutz - inside is painted, OFF COURSE, TO HIDE ANY SAND.

Outside Im foundig sand in tight corners - Im using wood steel chisels to remove old paint - and at corners they get severly worned.

I think at that time they need desperately to put the industry on feet, again.

So, quality was a minus in process. Inside paint to fill imperfections and outside paint all - sand included.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Cam follower only in IP

No Bob, that cam is only to IP. Valve tappets are excentric to rotate.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / What? Can be there a Bamford? No, but there is a Blackstone and a Lister CD

Another Saturday tour to olive oil plants, or remnants of them.

One of those I thought electric after all it got a BLACKSTONE JP 16HP (A BEAST);T);

Other one has a cannibalized Lister CD.

A few pics for the show.

Cheers

PS: Blackstone has no heirs, but woner is a bit wird (Taxi driver in Paris for 42 years, and his lovely son died 20 years ago, of bike accidente) [Got no expectations there!]

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? No FERRARI, just old stuff working
« on: August 27, 2022, 12:39:45 AM »
Gentles, Bob in special

Stupidity cannot be cheered!

Nearby me I have at least 2 companies where I can order new guides, even with new material tech.

The point is I'M NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION. CAPISCI?

And this is very bad to whom is doing restoration. Restoration is scientific, and I'm screwing things!

You can gold plate the pill, but it still hard to swallow! (popular saying).

Going to the point: the head is in good shape at all specs (after all this mess I done!). Its pure cast iron. (but not all is British, and straight thru as was the Lister. I think Germans where ahead in that time with siderurgic steel alloys and other materials).

Bob, please just send in PM address in order to send you the key to the new shed! (do you want I make a pic?).

Some late pics:
Yesterday the Deutz block was turned to side in order to withdraw cam shaft;

Today a guy didn't handbrake hard his van and it enters thru the door of garage.

Look at the door. Need a new one. insurance will pay, but company is closed for vacations till 1st sept.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Odds & Ends
« on: August 26, 2022, 12:47:03 AM »
Bob, Gentles

Maybe that carbon/graphite as you say, because this deoxidiser takes out all galvanized from screws or nuts.

It doesnt attak naked steel or copper.

Valve seats are hard steel inserts and they are good as new. All the engine inside is in very good condition. I think it stops to work a few years after overhauling because piston rings and piston are new. Big end need a buffing just to be smooth.

Camshaft is in good condition (as far as I can see), I'm enrolled to take it out, but more rust and it's spinning and I need to make another wrench for it to hold from inside - it has one face flat - and it will be another challenge.

I'm sorting already some bits by function - but Im paying the price to not have the shop book.

See pics of guides and a fly date.

Had you saw my bloody video about, and my happiness?

Cheers
VP

Ps: Exhaust valve is lubricated, and inlet valve uses some drip oil of air filter.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? VALVE GUIDES TO SOUTH. DAMN. DAMN
« on: August 25, 2022, 04:07:04 PM »
Bob, Cobba, Gentles

Stupidity strikes for the 3rd time.

I put the valve guides to clean in the deoxidizer... and it ate the metal.

I didn't realize it was a steel alloy that must have a high percentage of zinc or magnesium. Now they are definitely destroyed and I have to buy new ones or have them made.

the exhaust guide was good, the intake guide was not so good, because it was worn inside and had already been hammered on the outside to keep it in place.

I'm green with shame, but that's life.

It  start to be a lot of error on the same machine...damn, damn, damn.

About the oil seals at bearing covers they are both rubber,

The oil thrower ring in fact is a nut to retain the roller bearing. Cant figure out why is different ro why its a oil thrower.

Now got to make a 42 spanner to take out cam shaft.

Well, things are no so bad till now compared with Cobba's engine.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Strip the crankshaft.
« on: August 24, 2022, 12:54:49 AM »
1 - Governor oil seal off;
2 - Crank rusted, and conical bearing race nut holder (need to withdraw to take off crank);
3 - Non governor oil seal and ball bearing;
4 - Ball bearing retaining nut (Last overhaling hammer substituted hook spanner);
5 - Crank is out. Pay attention: THE CRANK BALL BEARING MUST TAKE WITH IT THE FLANGE, OTHERWISE CRANK WILL STUCK, (I got to put bearing again inside flange and job tooke twice the time);
6 - Be carfull with bearing nut, its mild steel, very mild!

Thats all for now!

Cheers
