- Refurbishing An Old Mamod Steam Wagon - Part #2.
Making a Compressed Air Adaptor with a thread size of ¼ x 26TPI to fit the Safety Valve Bush in the Boiler.
HEALTH & SAFETY:
This small Brass Boiler is only suitable for very low pressure air up to 20PSI and when fitted with the adaptor that I made, the boiler does not have a safety valve.
DO NOT under any circumstances apply any high air pressure to the boiler as it would be very dangerous. (Only a low pressure maximum of up to 20 Pounds Per Square Inch is Recommended for test purposes only). If you cannot regulate the pressure accurately DO NOT connect the airline to the model.

Christmas 1975: I was given the Mamod Steam Tractor. Dad and I had it in steam by mid-morning and sent it puffing away up our street to see how far it would go on a boilerful. It wasn't long before we had an audience. It seemed like most of the surrounding male population came out to watch. I still have the Mamod, and fire it up from time to time. Always think of that first run! :-)
Nagyon köszönöm.
I just to love the old mamod steam models i have always wish i could get one but i could not due to me living in the Caribbean.
I'm having some "fun" with Mamods myself right now. Actually I have 5 Mamod and Wilesco engines in various states of restoration.
I have a mamod minor 2 steam engine
Good idea to use an o ring. Great stuff! Would that be ok under the safety valve?
Good luck from Spain!!
Yes, that is what I used.
