Things I want to Buy / 11" ST pulley
« on: July 03, 2023, 07:32:22 PM »
Looking for a 11" "L" belt, 8 rib solid pulley for ST Gen head, for a taper lock (no need to include taper lock). Checked all my sources and none available until they order another shipment from India and my India contact hasn't replied.  Lathe is down at the moment or I would turn my own. IF anyone has one laying around they could part with, please drop me a line.   Thanks.

General Discussion / 6/1 generator build
« on: May 23, 2023, 02:35:16 PM »
Picked up this 6/1 last fall, started cutting and welding on the frame to mount a generator and move the engine. Lots of adjustment on the generator base. Strut in both directions plus a slide base for belt tension. I have several various ST heads and L belts so this will accommodate any head and take anywhere from a L91.5" belt to a 106" belt.  Putting the 6/1 in the center of the frame so I can place a mill on the other end for grinding wheat and corn off the second flywheel.

General Discussion / Found another listeroid and brought it home
« on: December 19, 2022, 01:53:09 PM »
Found this Power Line 6/1 about 30 minutes from me, had to buy for the price. Pulled it out of old shipping container cranked it and it started. Guy said it ran last year and he bought it new from Central Maine Diesel in 2006 to take to shows and play with. The engine never did any work nor was the saw ever finished so low hours. Took the saw off and will be mounting a ST head and a flour mill on the skid for myself. Wife can't understand why I needed another one.

Listeroid Engines / Automann flea market find.
« on: September 29, 2022, 02:44:55 PM »
Ran across this 8/1 Automann listeroid at a local flea market with trucks. Runs fine, only needs cooling and a ST generator head.  Never heard of an AutoMann but appears to be identical to my 8/1 Powerline Listeroid.

Everything else / Central Maine Diesel - MIA ?
« on: September 27, 2022, 07:38:16 PM »
I placed an order with Central Maine Diesel a few weeks ago, emailed Phil several times and the voice mail box is full.
Anyone hear from them lately? Hope all is well and they're still in business.

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Hatz E79 - Shop manual
« on: May 21, 2022, 08:07:16 PM »
Acquired a Hatz E79 engine a while back and started to tear into it. Put a new injector nozzle in, bled the line and  have fuel spray now (old injector was stuck). Pulled fuel tank, new filter, new fuel, and when cranking it it will attempt to pop once or twice after coming off of automatic de compression. Checked intake and exhaust valve lash and seems to be fine. I suspect possibly low compression but don't have a way to check it (metric fittings). The engine is in good condition, clean, appears to be well taken care of. Any chance anyone out there has a shop manual for this ?
Thanks
