Check out this link. This is an example of the links and info we share on the FB group site. Because of such limited info out there on these machines we try hard to help each other: https://www.usinages.com/threads/renovation-induma-a-tourelle-1-s-testa-veloce.5214/page-7 This post is in french so y...

Here's a breakout of a Bridgeport head. They use a different approach if you look at part #20. They have a boss on the end of the upper gear that keeps things in line. The Induma head is somewhat a copy of a BP head, but there are quite a few differences. But, it's a good cross reference. The thread...

It's been a while since I went through my head and I don't remember this part, but, EDIT: I'm editing my post since I looked back through my pictures of when I disassembled my machine and found these. My pictures don't show this spacer part unfortunately. But, it very well could act to keep the gear...

I've torn my head down, but without pictures or anything I can't remember...

Ted, looks like your Moriya fan is a winner, but your other engines are just stunning! Have you built others besides these? -- Russell Mac The only other one I made was a simple wobbler that runs off a few pounds of air pressure. My first build. Yes, the Jeroen Jonkman Stirling 60 Engines are beaut...

If interested, here's a short video of it running on my stove:

I like the brass bearing inserts. -- Russell Mac Making the split bearing for the displacer connecting rod was enjoyable. I needed to cut/face a piece of square brass stock and clamp the two halves together before lining them up in my lathe. The split had to be right on center. All dimensions had t...
