My Stuart D10
« on: October 21, 2011, 10:46:37 AM »
Hello gents. :wave:
I thought it was time for me to show you what I have been up to sense this spring. I brought a casting of Stuart D10 from EBay.  It was a casting from around 1975 so I have to take care of lot of rust. Besides that, I did a lot off fail but still manage to build up this engine and she is running quite well. Sorry to say, I have not yet have time to make a video, but it will come.

However here is some picture, I hope that you will like it.


Thanks for looking  :D

That is a great looking little engine. It certainly looks like you have applied lots of tender loving care. Thanks so much for sharing it with us and we look forward to a video when you are able.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

I also like the blue colour you used, I have not seen that very often and this makes a very nice version, so to say.  :thumbup:

Beni.

Photobucket vids are so challenging to say the least its not your fault. wonderful machine you have created there looks beautiful and well crafted, excuse my ignorance is that a marine engine? if so and i have never made a model engine that's one i might try. great show and well done!.    Anthony

Thanks for the comments gentlemen, you have given me so fine words so I almost blush :zap:
ieezitin: yes it's a marin engine and I am still working on it. First I must make a new crankchaft then I will make a reverse gear.
I also thinking about feedwaterpump and a condensor and maybe some little more. I have alredy adjust the engine and it works much better now, so I am very please.  :D .
This project was so fun to do so I have hard time to let it go...but I take it easy. :coffee:
Ones again thank you my friends and have a good time with your'e project, I know I have.  :headbang:

Hello Gents.  :wave:

Well now I have my new lathe, and I have taking some time to finish of my Stuart D10, and I thought that I should show you. By the way, I have also done a new crankshaft, so this is not wobbling and as you can se, I have now a reversing gear. It was a little tricky to build the reversing geat, but after long days and late night here she is.


And some close up.





Sorry to the sharpness was not as good
Now I feel radar pleased so I will soon start a new project.  :)

That looks great, Benni! Only one picture slightly little out of focus, but still a better picture than most of mine.

How about another video showing it in motion?
