1929 McCormick Deering Removing the Sump, Oil Pump and a Piston (the wrong way)

I remove the sump and start stripping the engine from the bottom and look at the broken conrod.

When I were a wee apprentice boy we worked on triple expansion steam engines with white metal bearings. We had to micrometer blue the journal, scrape the bearing to bed to the journal then tighten with soft lead wire to check and shim the clearance.

[@bcbloc02]

How old are you? I would not have thought many triple steam engines were in service past 1950.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Interesting

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent video Lance - an interesting engine!!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Indeed it is!

[@truth7416]

Awesome!!!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@breikowski]

That’s different. Thanks!

[@BundyBearsShed]

No problem!

[@bcbloc02]

In my experience with those ancient engines the cranks tend to wear out of round pretty bad. That makes setting clearance a troublesome affair. I usually set till it starts to drag then add .003” shim. Better loose than tight as long as you can get oil pressure good enough

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah I agree, the lube was ordinary at best.

Good day from Ont Canada I am 74 & I remember ploughing with 10-20 when I ws about 10. Do they only have 2 main bearings ? & I knew they were ball bearings. I mean they only ran at 1000 rpm. , some cars jdle almost faster.
I had sub, but I guess I didn't ring bell
Thanks for now

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@andrewmorgan5647]

Lance I have one in the paddock , been there sitting since 1980 , can I get parts? Reckon she may have got water onto sump . Also has bee hive in bell housing.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Fordson House in the USA seems to have a few parts available. we are chasing con rods at the moment but the first ones have the wrong number so we will keep looking.

[@jerrymoore7669]

That thing looks really dry. No oil residue in it?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes it is very dry, I dont know how long it has been since it was drained but it never had oil when I got it to work on.

[@kevinpfaff2301]

Hi Lance, do you consider yourself to be ambidextrous?

[@tonydoggett7627]

Interesting observation, I concur!

[@BundyBearsShed]

I probably am but I hadnt thought of that really.
