<HTML>Just ordered a set of 10 hp plans from them along with the steam pump and injector prints.Sounds like as much reverse engineering as the educator steamwagen .....alternative burner source for Wards that folded 3 years ago ....suspensions revisions that can use ATV/go-cart parts instead of the fabricated parts,etc....maybe four-wheel drive unit as well for anyone wanting to take this thing on hunting trips.Quick change fuel ability(solid fuel boiler with liquid fuel gun burner attachment) for hunters that forgot to check the fuel gauge before running in the woods..hitch for ATV trailer....revisions could get intense,if one isn't careful.
In another thread, a member mentioned grate area in my stovepipe lamont being too small ......upgraded to 20 gal. trashcan lamont and backed down blower to car heater blower box and it is kicking almost double steam rate...I forgot your name but thanks anyway.Boiler still needs alot of refinement to get full rate,but steam garden tractor still looks do-able.Running original Nuts/Teel lamonte tube lengths,just in1/4"&3/8 dia. and shooting for 169# steam rate@300PSI</HTML>
