The rods connecting a steam locomotive's pistons to the drive wheels are connected through a series of pins and brass bearings. The piston end of the connecting rod sports a rectangular-shaped brass bearing. After years of piston travel, the replaceable bearings can over time cause wear on the rods themselves. To clean the wear and ensure the right fit for a new bearing, we are using our Kearney & Trecker mill to machine flat the bearing surface on 1630's engineer side main connecting rod. Here

After making new connecting rod bearing for the inside connecting rods for this 1917 Vulcan Iron Works 0-4-0 steam locomotive at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture, today, we fired the locomotive up and took her out for a test run to fine tune the adjustments. She's all ready to go now. The museum will be operating the locomotive and giving rides starting this coming Saturday. #vintagemachinery #machineshop #machinist #shoplife #steamlocomotive #georgiamuseumofagriculture #steamengine | VintageMa
