Nice Chris. What did the motor come out of? The college I went to had a piston out of a tugboat that was about 20-24" in diameter. What's the bore on that thing?

the power plant looks very similar to the GE engines i work on at work, just my engines are smaller in scale. 10" pistons and about a 10" stroke piston and master rod about 150lbs, piston and art. rod about 80lbs i guess... the top of our power assemblies look similar in shape too [again, just smaller]... . interesting way the split on the conrod is in the 1st picture set... on my ge's, it's a cap bolted to the bottom, on the emd's, it's to half baskets clamping the fork rod which captures the blade rod against the top bearing shell

Nick, you have a great job

it's not bad... not great either. i'm a HD apprentice by trade but i see no hydraulics or electrical in my workplace. just engine work [and other misc things on locomotives]

HD? Heavy Duty?



Chris, if I may ask what do you do where you can get all these pics?
