- hello fellow steamers.
this is my Boman M101 live steam engine.
this came to me in pretty good condition, I ran it on air & it was Ok, then ran it on steam and found just a bit too much steam blow by on the mating services where the 2-oscillating parts meet, I file ground them & then used 600 grit paper & that improved things greatly, it gained a lot of power & speed. I made a knurled nut for the boiler overflow port & chimney stay support. the connecting rod was a little bent & I straightened that out. it runs really good now & I'm quite pleased with its performance.
Somewhere on UA-cam a guy used a can opener for further reduction and used his 101 to lift 100 lbs to table height!
I’ve kinda wanted one ever since to try and rig up something cool!
Nice vid
