Hey LeChat! I see youâ€™ve declared her done, congratulations !
so How many pumpers will it take to make it from the 10 O'clock side to the 2 Side?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 7:44 pm

Well, karine and I took it across the yard tonight with her driving and just me pumping. Not too bad at all really. I think we can get her across the playa at a nice easy pace without too much problem. Especialy if we have a couple in the rumbleseat and trade out now and again. Of course, we'll have to stop at numerous watering holes along the journey to Terminal City.

Now that itâ€™s done have you started daydreaming about making it steam powered or some other major upgrades for 08?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:08 pm

Of course...

I'm looking into Hit & Miss engines (or should I say Hit $ Miss engines) and thinking of converting it to veg oil. I think I could just machine one out with equipment purchased for the price of some of those things.

Iâ€™m not familiar with ( Hit & Miss engines ) do you mean like a John Deer Model B or what ever it was we always called a popper?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:21 pm

Oh yeah I remember seeing those around power shows

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:26 pm

Is a hit and miss engine like the ones that were used on Oklahoma Jacks? A single cylinder engine about 6 inches in diameter thast was used to pump oil from half a dozen oil wells. I believe that the only fired on every other stroke.

That looks interesting. What does it do zule?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:28 pm

Boy I donâ€™t know but one of those built from scratch in kind or a Captain Nemo retro futuristic streamlined art deco style could be really sweet

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:35 pm

Box!!!

Yep... you got it, Z Something like that. I like the idea of building an art deco one from scratch. Looks like I've got a list started for next year already.

Hiya Mojo! Yep Exclamations are good!

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:07 pm

so that cornshucker engine thing is a hit and miss engine?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:10 pm

Yepâ€¦

They had a governor on them to keep them at a certain RPM. If the had no load on them, they'd hit a time and then coast for a couple of strokes before hitting again. Hence the name.
