Hi Bart, Is yours missing? wore out? We have some very talented people here that may be able to make a part if one cannot be found...

Hi Nick I am new at this. I have to figure out how to get a hold of you. There is a video of a model 45 running on Google under Jensen Model 45 Vertical Steam engine. The cylinder is missing on mine. It has a closed end, and the spring loaded mounting screw is missing too. Did I read correctly that one might be fabricated? Perhaps Jensen could supply me with the specifics. I got a few parts from them, bit as you can imagine, they haven't built one for a long time. Bart1353

If one doesn’t turn up, I have a couple of 45’s and would be happy to help with dimensions/pictures if you can find someone to help you make one

Hi Nick, Still learning how to work this site. I would appreciate your measurement of your Model 45 steam cylinder and rod assembly with the appropriate diameter and stroke. Then, perhaps I vcan have one fabricated. Do you know of anyone who can do this? You have been the first person I have found that even has a model 45. It gives me some hope! What is there about old steam engines that makes us want them to be in operating order? Thanks for your responses. Bart 1353
