That is really cool Wayne. And nice speech.

Yep, just let me know if you need part pics. I also have some info, along with a write up & measurements from Paul Cowley.

Dan, here are some pics:

These are some pics from Ivan, back geared in front, DS in rear. I have that DS mill ... I actually believe it has a 9" wheel, but have not had it together to measure. Wheel bands are flat stock, bent the ...

Well ... I happen to know a guy with a couple.

Dan, what parts are you needing picks of? I have two that are scattered about my garage. Do you have any pics of the one you are looking at?

I thought there were measurements in the library section here.

We did have that in the old forum. Roger and I worked on a drawing based on original that he had.

Very early 602s were stamped on the shaft end, there was no flat on the hoop. I ...

If it doesn't leak like real babbitt putty ... then there is no fun left.

I have seen people using this for casting low temp metals, usually in a flat open faced mold. How well will it stay in place on say a horizontal shaft/housing? What about if the sand is around a shaft at the bottom of a ...

I started making wine this year. Why I don't know, as I really don't care for it. But I thought you guys would like the labels that my daughter created and had printed for me. Not sure where she got the graphic, but definitely Aermotor.
