[@orangemultiplayer1453]

@@adamjankowski4315 Forget old things? Can you give an example?

[@adamjankowski4315]

@@orangemultiplayer1453 Yes, forget older things. Sometimes making things fully replaceable by the customer is irresponsible and costly. Making modular at that point makes sense. Doing what Apple does and now all the others is down right profit mongering. Its not the engineering that derives the outcomes of todays products but the bankers, accountants, and CEO's who want to F over the population. Government doesn't care as long as the money keeps flowing through society. You have to realize that if its not worth fixing throw it away, if it is worth fixing then someone out there can. Good luck sticking with old technology and living in the past.

Outstanding!

[@SteamCrane]

Wonderful demonstration of why this is such a great hobby! For people wondering about the belt flopping around, it doesn't matter if the belt stays on the crowned pulleys. For a gas engine that only fires once per revolution or once per 2 revolutions, the slack belt might help absorb the less frequent firing impulses. In the US, steam traction engine operators normally twist the belt to break its lateral stability. The belt rubbing against itself also damps out lateral wander. Of course these steam engines can run either direction, so reversal of rotation can be canceled out. On a gas engine, it might be necessary to turn the engine around. An alternative, turn one end of the belt inside out.

[@joshjablonicky171]

Absolutely love watching all these old engines running.. I have to agree with you about the repair a lot of times people have it repaired all cleaned up ground down and you never know it was repaired honestly I think it's much cooler to see repairs cuz some of the repairs for done when the machine was fairly new and it's lasted for 50 to 90 years and still works just shows a proper repair will last forever.
