I just might get a little brass tag made for it down the road so that the provenance can be known for the future - really nice to know from whence, and who, it came from.

Post by: Gearhead Jed on May 06, 2019, 06:56:30 pm: Very good Larry! I hope you understood my little notes. I was so nervous shipping it. Lot's of love went into that engine. I should have signed and dated it.

Post by: jkbixby on May 06, 2019, 12:03:43 pm: The engine arrived in good condition due mainly to Jed's bulletproof packing. The nice thing about the engine is that it looks much better in person than it does in the pictures - the fit and finish is fabulous! Looking forward to running it but for now it goes on top shelf display status!

" I love the human mind and it's ability to rationalize even inappropriate behavior! "
I think many of us could say that Larry (and we do) one thing I know about a quality built engine is that they always seem to hold their value.

Title: Re: Stuart No. 9 with reversed steamchest and pump
Post by: jkbixby on May 03, 2019, 06:04:47 am: I had an amazing dream last night that I actually needed another Stuart No. 9 even though I'm starting to downsize my collection - I love the human mind and it's ability to rationalize even inappropriate behavior! It'll look good in the new display cabinet if it's still available - PM sent.

Post by: Swift Fox on May 03, 2019, 05:34:35 am: That is a lovely example of a Stuart No9, nice that it has both the pump and governor extras fitted too.

Good luck with the sale Jed!

Post by: jkbixby on May 02, 2019, 08:58:03 pm: I really hope it sells quickly, I'm feeling weak - it's just too nice!
Title: Re: Stuart No. 9 with reversed steamchest and pump
Post by: Gearhead Jed on May 02, 2019, 08:37:34 pm: I will run it on steam first. I have to go to my father's to run it on air with a gauge. And also hook up the pump. It will go on ebay if it does not sell here first.

Thanks Bruce!

Nick, it could be yours!😄

Putting this out there. I built a Stuart No. 9 and flipped the steamchest opposite the drawings. I also added a governor and homemade pump. It also has a bypass valve added to it. Oil cups as well. Broke in on steam and runs good on air also. Mounted on a teak cutting board. Can provide videos if asked to do so for sale.

I think ,most of us would love to see a video
