Lets Make A Rocker Arm For A 5Hp Galloway

- Todays video is multi faceted insofar as it starts out innocently enough with the expectation of ONLY having to lay out and fabricate a new rocker arm for the 5 hp Galloway Make n Break but it ends going off the deep end to another developing problem...I'll not spoil the suspense and spill all the sordid details. You'll just have to watch and see. #galloway, #flywheel, #engine
Wendell heat is great stuff on strung bolts. Great 👍 job on your replacement part to 😊.
Oh heck yeah. I use a variety of methods, but all involve heat. I hate it when I snap one off, but it does happen from time to time Leonard.
Good job buddy we have the right captain at the wheel looking forward to see the next video we will be watching take care and have a great week
You’ll get it T man. I have faith in you.
Thank You Wendell, this is cool stuff
Thanks for making the trip across continents just to say hi Jan !! Hopefully there won't be too much more wrong with this thing.
Sometimes the gods of grief smile on us.
Hahahaha...yeah, but they pack one hell of a frown on occasion too !! No matter, we got this one going our way for now. Tomorrow may sing another tune though.
Nice job Wendell.
So far, so good Rick. I hope the luck hangs in there, but unfortunately I don't think its going to.
I'm glad you didn't grind too much on camera. I don't have my safety glasses with me! It's nice to see an old piece of equipment being restored, especially if you have a use for it that you might feel inclined to share with us! 😁
Hahahaha....that's funny David. Well, I already ruined one of my cameras by being careless. Yeah, if I'm lucky enough to get this running halfway decently, I plan on it going on a cart with another buzz saw. That's what it began its life connected to so it'd only be appropriate, I'm thinking.
Great job! Gave me a good idea for some broken bolts in my old Farmall H block. Drilling a pilot and heating might be the trick. I have used the candle wax trick on some things with decent success too. 👍👍👍
I use candle wax as well on many things. I also use the 50/50 acetone an AFT mix too. But heat is always in the equation. I was afraid too much heat on the thin cast head might cause a slight fracture. So I figured heating like this might do the trick. Got lucky again !!
Good evening Wendell!
One day at a time Gary.... LOL. I hope all is well with you.
Abrupt ending...looking forward to vid # 3. The missus letting you know your dinner cold. Thxs for the vids!
Actually she popped in and then got interested in the old engine David. So I stopped right there and let her ask some questions about it. That, I think is going to be the next one. No progress on the repair though, she had some tough questions.....
Just ran the company's Bridgeport tonight. Also making a copper headgasket for my old Nash.
Awesome !! These old things are the berries ain't they. I have another vertical milling attachment installed on an old 1909 (I think) Kearney and Trekker horizontal mill. I attachment is a Rusnok vertical milling head made specifically to mount to the single overarm of the K&T. It's a beast !!
Pretty good 'manufacturing on this arm Wendell. Now on that plastic caliper you have there, I have a few of those around wherever I work. These calipers always get called upon to make those measurements that are important, but not critical, for 'critical' measurements I use my digital caliper, similar to what you use I guess.
Yeah, for the rough stuff, the plastic ones get you close enough. For the final touches though there ain't nothing as good (to me) as a digital. I use normal precision vernier calipers so infrequently I have to re-teach myself just how to read them. Digital is simple to push a button for changes from standard to metric measurements with no thinking.
😊😊 there should be a serial no list 4 the Galloway engines I would look and see and serial no should be close 2 / 1 year or the other thats as best as U can get W that 😊😊 OMG 2 1O 2O25
I'm searching but have only found sketchy lists with lots of empty spaces. What I WAS able to decide was this is around 1909 or 1910. I found a number about 1,000 higher that was listed as a 1911.
Quick question, is there a reason(I'm pretty sure it has to do with money) machineable parts like this were not made out of steel from the get go? I would assume cast iron/steel parts were just as strong and quicker to make and in the end you would have the same part with less work. Ive also heard that cast iron/steel parts were more forgiving and a little more flexible, thus longer lasting. Just a curious question.
Can't wait for you to.get this running, you're doing great. Kiss the Mrs. For us, miss her on this rebuild, but I can understand why she's not there, your workshop is 🥶 cold and everyone knows a 🥶 cold Mrs. Is and 🙁 unhappy Mrs., and nobody want an unhappy Mrs. 😊
I think cast iron is easier to mold consistent components with little effort, plus the surfaces are harder. With the steel components like this one, I'm going to have to 'temper' the wear surface so the hardened valve stem doesn't wear into this push plate to easily.
Oh as far as the temperature in the shop, it's tolerable in there, its just not quite as nice as our living room. The Missus has quite a lot going on so she only stops in when it is convenient...which, by the way is what caused the abrupt ending !! LOL But you're right, NObody wants an unhappy Missus at all.
@tractorman4461 Thanks, Wendell, I like knowing why things are made the way they are and I had not really known about the hardened surface of cast iron/steel, kinda knew but certainly wouldn't have remembered it in my own and now that you mention it, it makes total sense to use it. Steel adds extra steps, time and no real advantage. And since everyone knows time is money in big business... well, we know how that goes. Thanks for the lesson and pat the "much older brother" on the back for us, Miss him too.
I kick myself I didn't know about vfd's about 10-15 years ago I had a chance to buy an old Bridgeport machine cheap
Hahahaha...I know, that's frustrating. And single phase Bridgeport motors are quite expensive IF you can find one.
