Title: Mercer Traction Engine, new flywheel pulley and flat belt.
Post by: Tony Bird on October 20, 2022, 11:12:47 am

Hi,

I am helping a friend who bought a Mercer Traction Engine kit many years ago to convert it to a Showman's Engine.  The original flywheel wobbled a bit so a new one was made, sadly the crank shaft is a little bent as well so the result is far from perfect.  Along with the flywheel a pulley for the dynamo and a flat belt were made.

Take care Tony.
