Re: Pat Farrell - 1 year ago
So sorry to hear that. I only met Pat and his wife Marilee last spring. I was in the process looking for a Stanley and asked if I could come see his. Even then he was struggling but he was extremely generous and invited us to his place. He gave us a ride and showed us all around. He answered all my newbie questions and encouraged me. I'll miss him. Toddby Todd M - SteamStuff
Adjusting main bearings question. - 1 year ago
I decided to reassemble my 735 engine with the original style independent roller bearings instead of swapping everything out to use the modern bearings I have on my spare engine. I read that the outer bearing races were originally machined round with shims in place so that shims could be removed as things wore. Since mine are already worn somewhat I don't know how many shims to have in place whenby Todd M - SteamStuff
Analysis/Paralysis - 1 year ago
I am still pondering what to do about my Stanley engine. Thanks for the responses to the other thread I started but now I am rethinking the whole thing. To recap : I have almost two engines, one has new modern bearings but the engine gear is corroded and pitted. The other is essentially stock with the ball bearing eccentrics and roller bearings for the crankshaft and its gear seems to be in very gby Todd M - SteamStuff
Re: Another Stanley engine disassembly question. - 1 year ago
Is it apparent which way to press? Is there a shoulder that butts against the gear? I am assuming that I need to remove the crank first or can I press it all out in one go? Thanks.

Re: Another Stanley engine disassembly question. - 1 year ago
I don't think I can just swap the bearings as I am assuming that there has been machining to fit to the inside of the bearing. I will try the heat differential.

Another Stanley engine disassembly question. - 1 year ago
I picked up my 1920 735 last week and I am working on putting a working engine together out of parts. I have almost two engines. One has modern bearings but the gear on it is pitted and worn. The other has the original style bearings and the gear on it looks almost new. So I was going to disassemble them and swap out the gears. I read that it takes a 50 ton press but I wanted to know if there is aby Todd M - SteamStuff

Thanks for the information. I ordered the bundle. And Pat, thanks for the offer. If this doesn't have everything I need I will take you up on it. Toddby Todd M - SteamStuff
Parts list for a 1920 735 touring car. - 2 years ago
Hello, I am looking to possibly buy a 1920 735 touring car that has been completely disassembled. Does anyone know if there is a parts list available for this car or a similar one?. If I were to buy it I want to make sure I get a least most of the parts. I see in the Storeroom that there are a couple of parts lists for White steamers available, are there such things for Stanleys? Thanks Toddby Todd M - SteamStuff
