Peaceful Creek Vintage Books and Manuals
\"I believe the gas engine has now been firmly established as a most important and almost indispensable source of power for agricultural production.....\" Fred Jones, Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, January 1932
Original 1938 hardcover book
Because the original instructional manuals for these old engines are not just lying around in every farm shop any more, this book will be a valuable resource that you will use for reference inlearning about, repairing and rebuilding your Hit+ Miss.....4 cycle.....and 2-Strokeengines and your vintage tractors.
It may help you positively identify that engine you have, and perhaps help you to be sure that the engine you have is indeed all original.....It shows many different types of engines from many different manufacturers.
This book will take you, in depth, into your engine so you can understand it\'s workings.....From the simple carburetion on these engines to the construction diagrams of the magneto\'s........the cutaway diagrams of the entire combustion process.......showing details about everything from the valves to the cooling systems.......to the crankshafts, rods, and pistons......to the igniter systems......Early battery systems....to the oiler systems......original diesel injection pumps.....to the workings of the original 2-Stroke versions!
It will show you..... and tell you ......in detailed text..... how they work!
If you want to fully understand the workings of these wonderful engines....this book will supply what you want to know!
It is not a modern revision....this is the original book, written in the time period when people were using these engines in every day life to get the hay into the barn....to run generators....to power shop equipment......feeding equipment....and whatever else they could hook them up to in order to reduce the work load and make farm life a little easier!
They needed to know how they worked, so they could do the common repairs that needed to be done!
From the book:
\"In the Preparation and arrangement of the subject matter, three important considerations have been kept in mind:
First, that the material should be presented in sufficient detail and in as elementary and non-technical a form as possible;
Second, that a thorough understanding of gas engine fundamentals as exemplified by the simple, stationary farm engine should precede a study of the more complicated tractor mechanisms;
Third, that any publication of this nature should also treat of such related subjects as power transmissions, materials of construction, utilization of power, and so on.\"
The first part of this book deals with the fundamentals involved in the construction and operation of the simple internal-combustion engine with particular application to the small, stationary farm type engine!
Early gas engine lubrication
The second part of the book covers the detailed construction and operation of the various types of farm tractors.
I have enjoyed these engines for a long time and I think the detailed diagrams and cut away illustrations are exceptional in this book, I don\'t thinkI have seen a better compilation ofstationaryengineliterature from this time!
You will learn about many different types of gas and diesel engines, both stationary as well as mobile, including several instances of two stroke diesel stationary engines!
Published in 1938 and contains 486 pages!
