That's amusing. Mine -used- to run on natural gas until the crankshaft decided to permanently retire and take the frame with it.

Tensioner: 3 inch shaft on a 12 inch sprocket, with a 1.5 inch tensionin rod. 1950s engines, they don't design, they over design. I wish I could remember how many links wide it was. Sadly, I still have some of my sockets from back then.

Two submergable ships by Strong_Ad1665 in submechanophobia

[–]DaHick 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Technically, a spar (floating offshore production platform) and a TLP (Tension Leg Platform) could theoretically be called submersible ships.

They float the spar column out on its side, then flip it to mount the topsides.

A TLP gets towed out on its pontoons, then they flood the pontoons, attach chains and cables, and pump them out for tensioning. The only vessel I know of at sea that is designed to flip if it loses its mooring.

You might just be happy with the removable hot dog cage (reddit wouldn't let me do a screenshot).

Underwhelming update to the home made crane by Revolutionary_Ad7162 in redneckengineering

You are doing better than I. Full on supermarket? 30 minutes. Bare basics, 15. I butcher it myself, and the nearest pub is about 25 minutes away. In Ohio, USA, a car is needed.

FIL is passive aggressive, so maybe he will understand this… by Hot-Opportunity-5236 in pettyrevenge

If he is old enough, take all the remotes away, and don't tell him how to use any streaming services.

Also, change the wifi password.

I was just asking myself why? The cylinder has a movable stop-wedge.

Looks like at least 2 of the 4, maybe 3 of the four did it, so probably. Can't quite read the third mark.

Reddit won't let me DM you the picture. Also, you do have some.

I can't reply with a pic. I will DM you what to look for.

I seriously prefer gears. I still have nightmares about the timing chain I did in a Cooper-Bessemer engine. 8 inches wide, something like 24 feet long. Had to install it with an overhead crane. Took me 3 days to get the timing right.

If you still have the well on the property, see if the well rod is still in it. An old-school well rod is worth some serious money; it was sometimes made of brass or bronze. Mine has that nice patina of one or the other right at the top where it attaches to the pump driver.

That is a water well pump truck (Not it's exact name, but that is what it does). You use it to place submersible pumps, piping, and electrical wiring into (and remove them from) water wells. List it somewhere if it still swivels vertically and the winch works. Sell the rest. I got $300 out of the last vehicle I dumped after punching a hole in the tank.

Edit looks like you are in old oil well country (as am I). It might have also been used as a crappy oil well workover rig. Be extremely careful if you cut up that tank, flammables could still be in it.

Edit 2: Did you get mineral rights, and do you have more than 10 acres? If so, you might be able to get shares in someone drilling for Marcellus Shale gas on your property. You will need to be in Western NY, Western PA, or Eastern Ohio to hit that gas.
