What kind of heavy machine parts?
I posted a photo of the part, not sure if Richard has seen it.Martin , welcome to the forum , we usually like a please ot thank you with requests, also Richard asked a question, it would help your search if you could make a reply to this.
Have re sent.No photo came with your post to Richard, perhaps try again.
Martin, I know folks that could make this. Do you have any more information? Size, drawing, model # etc?
Basically i just need information, what machine it came off etc and are the manufacturer still in operation??Martin, I know folks that could make this. Do you have any more information? Size, drawing, model # etc?
I'm a volunteer at the place where the part is.Basically i just need information, what machine it came off etc and are the manufacturer still in operation??
Thanks.
It's at a furnace, but it's come from somewhere else.Hi Martin, I put your picture into Google image search. Can you tell us the nature of the site? A factory? Near water?

Thanks - so it could be there with the intention of being smelted in the past? And any estimates of size?It's at a furnace, but it's come from somewhere else.
It is a small stationary vertical steam engine. It look like it had a number of parts missing, the crank, flywheel, eccentric and eccentric staps, valve rod, lubricators and a few other small bits.Basically i just need information, what machine it came off etc and are the manufacturer still in operation??
Thanks.
Very grateful.I will take some measurements tomorrow.It is a small stationary vertical steam engine. It look like it had a number of parts missing, the crank, flywheel, eccentric and eccentric staps, valve rod, lubricators and a few other small bits.
In the absence of a maker’s nameplate, it may prove hard to know who made it. Engines like this were quite common in the UK the turn of the 20th century and were made in lots of different sizes for different jobs. They are often seen in small steamboats.
I will show to photo to a friend who may know more.
I will take some measurements tomorrow.It is hard to judge the size and weight from just a picture.
I believe that the group has the vintage correct. Looking at the casting shape, the solid bearings, Babbitt type with the style Staufers(lubricators).Here is the Tangye catalogue and engine specification courtesy of Edward Potts

The RPM’s for steam engines seems quite high for all bores & stroke configurations, no wonder they were great work horses!Here is the Tangye catalogue and engine specification courtesy of Edward Potts

Could you unscramble please?I believe that the group has the vintage correct. Looking at the casting shape, the solid bearings, Babbitt type with the style Staufers(lubricators).
I would we sprites if it were Deere.
The part closest looks like a newer design bearing cartridge, hard to tell and could be VERY wrong!

My bad, auto correct in play! I would be surprised if it were Deere as in John Deere. I saw somewhere it referenced Deere.Could you unscramble please?
