Peerless portable steam engine running rock crusher

[decoysk]

BRAVO ! ! ! ! ! !

[CommentClown]

Is the skid steer steam powered?

[fangus503]

I dont understand how those huge belts dont fall off those pulleys

[Bidone1967]

Very nice ! - Last month i can film a Hatz stationary engine with a rock crusher.

[walls0stone]

fellow next door has one, but it's fun off a PTO and pulls behind a tractor.

[OghamTheBold]

I like it - inside every rock there's a smaller rock trying to get out

I bet it has unlimited uses - only limited by your intellect - (can't think of one right now but I'll mull on it)

Maybe they said 'Poor-table' - you can't eat your sandwiches off it, for sure

[79camaro454]

old school ftw!

Its always good to see these things still running and not just sitting. Like old cars on the back of trailers.... Drive them!

[steammonkey2]

love it! this LOOKS like a good runnin engine. its amazing to think of the technology our fore-fathers had when they made these engines.........powerful and really safe...unless the operator doesn't pay attention and doesn't know squat

[DAKOTA56777]

This is a little after the 4 fathers.

[AINGELPROJECT667]

"portable"...?

[RaspWillow]

yup, it's got wheels! Imagine what the non-portable ones must've been like

[phoenix15477]

The ones without wheels are the mill engines and the smaller stationary engines.

[krozzie303]

it's got wheels; looks handy to me.

The efficiency wouldn't be great. A lot of losses would be in that belt.

[chaz706]

It has wheels! Attach a transmission and it can even pull itself!

So that what the old crusher in my front yard used to do I've always wondered how they were used and opperated very nice.

Mine has a Goodroads manufacturing lable but it's basically yard art now.

Really neat, really scary.

Hi - These old things are just great. I have some old parts of my grandfathers that I would like to sale. Could anyone tell me where to sale them and how much they are worth. I am raising money for my son in college so I would sale them at a good price but I don't want to just give them away. Thanks

[RaspWillow]

I don't know much about it, but EBay is an excellent place to sell some special interest things.

[cattleprods911]

Awesome!

[fairlanephil]

What are you selling and your location. Phil

[DIMPLEKEY]

the power of steam, great engine, excellent vid

[foden123]

Well there are other people that like trains and trams so a rockcrusher interest isn't all that strange !

[pylgrym]

This is a BLAKE type crusher using serrated cast steek JAWS instead of hammers. The jaws are cast as heavy plates. Slow speed, great power. Goodwin Barsby has a great website with cross-sections, or google images of "Blake Jaw Crusher". Join my YAHOO! group: 'comminution'....

[chicharon88]

What type of crushing teeth? bullhammer?

[pylgrym]

What is the name cast into the flywheels of this dandy? My grandfather built rock crushers.

[dkrenshaw]

Sorry, I don't have any closeups of the rock crusher. I don't know the manufacturer.

[pylgrym]

Okay - THANKS! Love that NOISE!
