Old Steam Powered Machine Shop 71- Gear fabrication, antique gas pump
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- This video concerns the making of a spur gear to replace one broken for an antique gas pump of the 1920s. Much of the setup was done on the 1925 South Bend Jr. lathe with electric power because the weather has been just too hot for much running under steam power lately. Thanks to all of my subscribers for sticking with me through a long "dry spell". I'm glad to be putting this one up. All comments, discussion and questions about line shaft power, early machine work, tooling and stem power are always welcome here. Check my "community" tab on the channel main page for shop news.

Welcome back it’s been a long time. You’re surely missed by your viewers. Let’s fire that boiler up….
Then blow the whistle!
welcome home old mate. We've missed you.
Anyone else hit the LIKE button before he got the match lit to fire the boiler in the opener?
It's really hard for me to describe just how much I love these videos.
Yep I did. Saved it as well.
I ALWAYS do... its just a habit now..
HELL YES!
It’s great to see you back at it. The bushing on your milling machine overarm should be a great improvement. My instructor always said there are three things to good machining results: rigidity, ridgidity, and ridgidity.
Cheers from the Chicago area.
Hi David, I was afraid something had happened to you. After this video a load is removed from my heart.
Already had withdrawal symptoms. Finally another video.
Welcome back.
Greetings from Germany
You were almost there when you reduced your original fraction of 40/44 down to 10/11. Then all you would have needed to do is multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and etc. until you found a plate that worked. Please do not feel embarrassed for not thinking of that because I too have experienced "cranial flatulation".
Beautiful work the arbor bushing. :-)
You Americans have an industrial heritage of great value !
It's a joy to behold :-)
Best regards from a Norwegian woodworker
So great to see this channel still running, even once a month, understand these kind of repair restorations take time/talent, not speed.
Like others I am glad to see you healthy and back doing videos with your special style.
He’s back! It’s officially Summer!
I like the Mill support modification. I cant see how that wouldn't be better than a center alone. Thanks for making this video
Hi Steve, These old mills also had long slotted support rods that came from the overarm down on both sides to a dovetailed plate that road on the knee ways. (also long gone for this mill). ....Dave
@@biggreasies537 John, That mill did have braces. If you look in the video you might see the two bosses on the overarm. One is set back about 5/8" so they will clear each other when crossed. Interesting about the dovetail angle, I'll have to check that, thanks....Dave
l missed this video somehow David....Glad l found it.....Thanks David.....We had an old gas station in our little town here in Kentucky that still had pump up what you wonted....lt was a shell pump just like the one in your picture here....l still remember how red the gas was up there...That was back in the 1950's....Thanks David...
Thank goodness you've uploaded a video, I was starting to get a little concerned !
I see you've lost a little weight and looking well for it too !
I'm guessing a bit more than a little! Dave is moving a lot more sprightly also. Good on you Dave!
Dave, I like the new overarm support bushing. You say the running bushing is the last on the arbor, but of course it doesn't have to be. Rigidity wise it's best to be as close to the cutter as possible. In some of the Milwaukee catalogs, I've seen twin overarm support heads, behind and in front of the cutter, and an X brace to the knee. I'd imagine that is quite resistant to chatter.
Cheers and welcome back!
Greetings and best wishes from Munsö Sweden, Dave! Wonderful to have you back
cut a line with the lathe and use the dividers to mark a given number of holes. You already taught me this trick previously that it was worth mentioning again.
David, like everyone else I am pleased to see you back. Look after yourself, cobber.
Regards from Greg in Oakbank, in South Australia.
Just something about that ticking sound a belt makes driving these old machines... music to one's ears.
Welcome back, long time no see.. you have been missed
Believe it or not David, when calculating gears on an uncut wheel I had to perform trigonometric calculations. I didn't do any of that for more than 50 years and then had to fire up old trig tables. My close friend had to use trig because he surveyed property. Fun and games for old salts.
Welcome back, was starting to get worried that something had gone wrong.
Great to have you back. You've lost some weight.
Bonjour David,
Happy to see you back fine and at work !
Amicalement, Raphaël
Thanks David, great watching old school craftsmanship...
Hello David, l'm glad to see you again! With best regards from Siberia.
I was so happy when your new vid came on! Last night I had a dream about working with my grandpa in his machine shop and then this video brought it all back. Thank you Brother!
Thanks for sharing and glad to see you're healthy.
What a pleasure it is to see you and the workshop again :)
Thank you lord, I was dieing from withdrawal!
Good to see you back and well Dave. You have been missed
We love ya buddy! You and your shop are entirely worth the patience! Glad to see ya!
Dave, Welcome back yeah! I just found that same Henry Ford book online and ordered it. My father was a tool and die maker for GM and went to school at HFT in about 1949
Great to see you, Dave!!
Great to see you again on a new episode! When I have to use a dividing head, I factor the number of teeth on the gear. 44 renders 2-2-11. So then ya go through your plates looking for the most exotic factor 11 (prime number). 22-33-44-55-66-77, and the like. Then multiply the selected hole circle times the dividing head ratio and then divide by the tooth count of the work. Yer gonna get a decimal. Save out the whole number with your sharpie on some cardboard, and the use the .xxxxx part times the plate circle you selected. This will be your number of holes you set your quadrant to. Now the number of cranks will be the whole number and the quadrant will be the partial movement. 33 X 40 / 44 = 30/33....so in this case less than a whole turn.
Yeah, I should have seen that 11 goes evenly into 66....Dave
Welcome back,I’m smiling 🙂
Dave: Thanks as always, glad to see you're still at it. Carry on!
Keep up the good work Dave. I love those machimes.
Hallo David,
Good to see your back.
Greetings from Friesland in the Netherlands
Old steam powered machine shop....good
More soon please....🙂
This remains me of a mistake I made when I was 7 years old. My Grandfather was getting gas at the local general store . He had pumped the site glass full and placed the nozzle in to his Chevrolet pickup's truck fuel tank and opened the nozzle valve. Then he went inside the store. I had never seen a pump like it before, I noticed the glass was about empty so I started pushing and pulling the handle back and forth. So the gas would keep going. Mr. Hit ( stor owner) though it was very funny . My Grandfather was not happy with me because he had no idea how much gas I put in his tank. At 23 cents per gallon he was not sure he had enough money to pay for it. He had planned to only get 10 gallons. This was the day I learned that Mr. Hit was a very nice man. He told my Grandpa not to worry about it, all the gas was free to me that day. He also showed me how the site glass was marked and explained to me how to use them to measure the gas he also told me how many cycle of the pump handle it took to move 10 gallons into the glass on the top of the pump . Them he gave me a icecream bar . And told me when I was ready to get a job he would have a job for me. A few years later I started sweeping his stor after school. Later on he retired and sold the Store to Mr. Majors, I swept the walkway under the porch roof until I was in high school.
Great story Tom....Dave
I've missed your videos. Great to have you back working in the old steam powered shop. Thanks
Nice one! I love the cleanliness of your tools and work space.
Thanks for another great show David. Look forward to seeing you cut the teeth, and it would sure be nice to see it installed on the equipment when it's done too. Definitely know about that heat. I'm doing brakes, drive shaft and engine work on my truck in slidell, La. It's 90 degrees outside and 90% humidity. Thankfully I built a Mechanics Carport Driveway Shade Tarp, if I hadn't done that the driveway would be to hot to lie down on. Thanks again for a super nice video. See you in the next one. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Good to see you back.
Dave, Nice to see you back. I hope you are doing well.
Great to see your back Mr Richards.
Very happy you’re documenting this knowledge!! Thank you and bless you!! Too much of this old knowledge is dying off with the elders. I’m very pleased to see your hard work and to learn from you and under you. Thank you much, sir!
Gday Dave, great to see your back, I’ve missed the steam powered shop, hope you doing well mate, Cheers
You’ve just made my day welcome back buddy 😎
It’s good to see you, you’ve been missed.
Good one there Dave . We all take the easy way now & use the charts for the divisions . I remember my Dad & Uncle making sure i new how to do all of the fractions in my early years for that exact purpose .
Cheers .
Glad to see you back at work! Great video and I am sure the next one will be just as good.
So good to see Your videos are back up David . I'm sure nobody would expect You to be "under steam" in the midst of a heat wave .Enjoyed Your calculations and look forward to part two.
Hey Dave, It is great to see you back in the shop.
Thanks for the video,it is like listening to an old friend,the chirp on the lathe drive belt,the shop running,just amazing to hear,keep safe,thanks again.
great to see you back in the shop once more , good health Dave from Trev in Australia
Hi Dave, glad to see your back and all is well. Another good video on gear cutting, I have a couple to do in the future for myself, thanks Dave for the encouragement.
Thought you might be interested in my latest project. 1920 South Bend, 16"-24" x 8' gap bed bridge lathe, quick change gear, silent chain motor drive, with lots of tooling, 3 and 4 jaw chucks, 5ns draw-in collets, taper attachment, steady rest, thread dial. Really looking forward to getting it back together this winter and make some chips.
That will be a good one....Dave
Oh Good ! Morning coffee with Dave.....Thanks for the video and welcome back.......
Very good shop procedure with Henry Fords manual
Thanks for another great video Dave, as a owner of a 1947 south bend 9a, I appreciate you using the sb junior. Welcome back.
Glad to see you are OK. Was concerned when I did not see any thing on some time.
I love the videos where your in the shop. I have my sb 9 circa 1937. I do my threading by turning off the lathe and letting it coast to a stop. No need for a groove that may weaken the shaft. Works pretty good. One of these days I’ll get around to fixing the headstock where a previous owner filed out the way to realign the headstock for some odd reason. It moves from time to time, very annoying.
Dave I believe you encountered one of the issues old machine shops had. Too hot to work! It’s probably why they had a separate building for boiler.
Probably true, with a separate person to fire it...Dave
Thanks so much for your beautiful vlogs was great fun seeing you again
Good to see you again Dave , love watching and listening to you explain how things work . Thanks for your time and talent
Dave, it is a delight to view your videos. Thank you for bringing us along. Your content is always appreciated.
Way to go Dave.... Another great video. I can understand waiting until cooler weather for Part 2. Just think, way back in 1925 the guys in the shops who HAD to work in the hot weather WITH the heat of the boiler as well. Gives you an appreciation of air conditioning.... Go get that glass of lemonade - we have the bell set for ya
Hi David, Good to see you back. I've really missed your videos!
You're not alone in suffering from the heat, up here in northeastern Saskatchewan it's been unbearable
and also very dry. Good for sitting in the shade and watching videos though!
Hello Dave !!!👋🏻👋🏻👍👍👍👍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, Glad to see a video and all okay!!!!
WELCOME BACK DAVE!!!
We REALLY have missed your videos and commentary! Your knowledge and humor is greatly appreciated!
I don't do hot weather very well, so I can understand not firing up the boiler.
We look forward to part #2 video.
Best Wishes, And GOD BLESS!
Gary
Glad you are back. Don’t do that to us again. Old Steam withdrawal is painful.
Omg... another dave video. Stop what were doing, grab the popcorn. :) Glad to see your OK and back at it.
So very good to see you back Dave 👍👍👍 Very much looking forward to seeing the gear cutting. Cheers, Alan.
Miss your videos. Glad you're back.
Yeah! My favorite youtuber is back! There is nothing like steam engines and a machine shop. Combine both and you're in heaven!
Dave you rock! I have the same edition of the Ford Shop Theory book. Glad to see your latest.
Great Video can't wait to see how you cut gear
Check my video #72 from the play list.....Dave
Welcome back Dave! every week I would check your page for new videos. Happy to see your doing great.
Nice to see you back, Dave. Don't stress yourself in the heat.
Neat job, thanks.
Keep posting these wonderful old school videos. I look forward to them.
Thank you
The winter is the time for steam power.
My favorite channel. Thanks
Glad to see you're still alive!
Yes indeed. Welcome back! I thought you would be use to that heat index from spending your winters in Florida ; ). Can't wait for part 2. Would like to see content on that cross sled antique planer you installed last season. Thanks for all you do!
Happy to see another video posted sir!
Glad I found your channel! Cool stuff
Hey Dave, thought you must have kept seeing your shadow when you came out of hibernation in Florida, glad to see you back mate. Jeff Australia
Good to have you back. I was starting to worry.
Good to see you back , hope all is well with you !
Thank you David
Good learning session for we newbies. Thanks for the look.
Guess folks in days past had to "sweat it out" in the summer months. Like the bushing attachment in your support. I am trying to purchase an old belt drive lathe from a friend. I think it is a South Bend but don't know. I will have to convert it if I get it.
Another great video, thank you.
Hi Dave, Great to see a video from you again! You're, the best, that running bush will be a great addition to the milling arm. Looking forward to the next edition when you cut the gear to see how the running bush goes. Regards a fan from Aus.
I did a scan through about half of the previous comments, and I agree with every last one of them. I too noticed a weight lose, but you look and sound well , so have at it.
Hi David. Nice work
Good to see you and the old iron under steam again!
Very, very cool Dave!!!
Hey good to see ya again. First thing I thought of was balls to the walls during the engines start up. So the ole gas pump needs gear , best place to get YUPP from a steam shop.
I could"n work in this shop, it's too clean,...great video and project, I really enjoyed it, thanks. What is the music, it's great.
