"Big Flywheel Engine Shed"
Our collecting truely began with the purchase of two Farmall F-12's on our first wedding anniversary.
I can say that the custom has continued for more then twenty-three years now.
Here I"ll share with you photos and info on my flywheel engines, antique tractors, trucks and other collectables.
For the last year or so, not much has been achieved as far as restoration work goes. This was due to a minor health problem I was facing. Hopefully, that is all behind me now, with work moving ahead again at least on a few projects previously started.

an exhaust leak was
found between the valve

It was later determined that it was due to a 0.20" warp of
the valve chest surface.
Below, the valve body is being
re-machined on my horizontal milling machine.

It started life as a Taylor-Dunn parts chaser for warehouse use.
It is still driven by the original electric motor, however the
Sattley now does the re-charging of the batteries.
