Stanley Boiler Being Tapped

Drilling and Tapping a Stanley Boiler.
 
By code you shouldn't drill into the weld ..
As shown in pictures
I try to stay away from the tubes as much as possible..
You run the pipe tap in a little over half way on the tap and check it to your fittings .
I never use bronze or copper fittings in the boiler..
Steel on steel is the best ..

Stanley Rear Brakes Updated

7/14/2021

 
Burt Hermey writes:

Yesterday the Stanley's engine/rear axle assembly came home from the brake shop. It's now sporting two new disc brakes in place of the old band brakes.
Today begins the process of reinstalling it. Lots of little things to remember along the way!
Once in the car the engine will get a bath of Gunk, then the crankcase cover will be installed (with new gasket, of course!)

2021 Midwest Steam Car Tour

7/14/2021

 
​Steam Car Enthusiasts,
I wanted to reach out and announce the 2021 Midwest Steam Car Tour.  We are shifting the tour days slightly from past tours.  We will be touring starting on Saturday September 11th and the final tour day is Thursday September 16th 2021.  The tour is based out of Cedar Rapids, IA and the host hotel is The Hotel at Kirkwood.  You can book your stay at the hotel by calling 319-848-8700 or toll free at 877-751-5111 and ask for the Midwest Steam Car Tour block.  The hotel only has a little over 70 rooms but has a very large parking lot for trailers.  We hope you will join us for a nice roads tour.  More details to follow.  We are excited to see everyone out touring again. 


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone below.


Thank you,


Mark Culver
