Thank you all for your detailed replies,

I decided to just swap boilers with a '50s-'60s reversing Jensen #25 I have that has a cracked cylinder that I rarely use just so I could try to run the engine. It built steam and turned over, but seemed to be so loose that it would run in one direction and would reverse and run seperately from the flywheel side. Here is a video of what happened, is it just a loose screw in the assembly?
