Oregon Steam-up pics

[Mickey]

:wwp: I and the boys went out to the steam-up yesterday for a while. Been going for so long my picture taking endeavors was greatly reduced this yr.

Will post separately so I can comment on each one/group.

How about some steam made Ice Cream. They had 2 ice cream makers running this yr and people standing in line. tasted great but damn it was COLD.

1951 Crosley Super

Turn off the bubble machine.

First time I've seen this home made contraption.

Had a good selection over in the garden tractor area. Was surprised to see a small subsection with Potland Oregon made machines only.

Nice looking Economy with attachments.

How about the Dave Bradley, Ride'um DB.

Interesting air compresor from IR

[Mickey]

There were a good selection of small home gensets from the early days.

Here is a piece of history Clesie Cummins personal lathe.

Had several other one of a kind items in the truck muesum. #1 PayMaster truck if any of you remember this short lived truck. Also had the prototype of KW's T2000 tractor and a small scale model tractor.trailer combo for wind tunnel testing. Models cost about $150k.

Thanks Mickey!

Those are some very unique exhibits that you chose to photograph!

I can't figure out the Delco light plant. The engine end really looks strange... a belt driven fan, I guess for cooling, but what is the silver enclosure behind it? Maybe a shroud for the fan to pull air across some cooling fins?

What is the name of the show?

This is the Great Oregon Steam-Up held annually the last weekend in Jul and first wekend in Aug. I've posted the link to the Antique PowerLand web site in other posts and there are a lot of pics posted there. Next month will be the annual truck show held at the same location. 5 different museums on the site. Antique Powerland is located about 10 mi N of Salem at the Brooks offramp.

Yes the Delco is an air cooled setup and the silver is the ducting for the air flow. This is a 3 cyl powerplant if memory serves me correctly.

Forgot a couple pics in first post.

A small Case steam engine that was pulled to site by horses.

For you old B&S fans, here's a fan cooled B&S. Next to it is an unusual fan as it is powered by water.

Great show, Mickey!! There were about a dozen of the David-Bradley 3-wheelers at the I&I Club show this year with diff. implements mounted on them plus another dozen regular 2-wheel walk behind DB's! They were neat! thanks; sonny

Cool compressre!! I have seen one before. 6 cyl radial. 3 powerd, and three pumping. Was that one runnning??


Also That old BS motor looks like a early motorcycle engine. Wonder what its used for?

[Mickey]

Paul, Didn't see the compressor running and for the B&S, have no idea what it was used for and there wasn't anyone around to ask. If it was a bike engine, why the need for a fan? By the shape, that application did come to mind. Maybe an ole small boat application?
