"Thar she Blows, Tharrrrr she blows, A hump like a snow Hill!" The Moby Dick Hotel in the drive in. I did not know that would tie in with the smoke rings at the end. New name for the boiler Moby Dick! She's Choochin Mama! At least you didn't pass by the AMIGONE Funeral Home in Buffalo NY and that the boiler wasn't DOA! LOL
Great video, Steve. I'm in Falmouth - thought I recognized Rt. 6! That's how we came to the Cape from NJ, summers when I was a kid, back in '54 to '62, before we moved to Sandwich. I found one of those Draft-Rite tools in a free box of parts the seller threw in from a yard sale down-Cape a couple years ago. Priced at almost $200 now! Yikes! Missing the draft tube(s) but I can easily get out the thread gauge or fabricate one to screw in or simply JBWeld a nipple into place to attach flexible tubes to if I need them.
I watch the landscaping on the drive over. The city here has declared war on business signs taller than roadsigns. All of the original billboards are being taken down . They also decided that overhead wires and forbidden too. We live in interestng times
love watching you work on those old oil fired boilers; they are nasty- too bad local politicians wont allow natural gas for the people in that area; you're skills are becoming a lost art.
I guessed the torque spec for that nozzle at 15 ftlbs when I saw you pull the two combination wrenches together. Got out my torque wrench, mounted in the vice and kept upping the setting and sure enough, right around 14-16 lbs, held at approximately the same length and applying what I assumed to be the same pressure, she clicked! One other thing - I saw you wrench the oil fitting multiple times before it was finally sealed. If you use your left hand to tweak the attack angle of the feed pipe a little while turning the nut with your right hand you'll find that sweet spot where the nut will spin on almost all the way. Faster than wrenching all the way in. I'm sure you knew that, but I just had to say it anyway! ;-)
@@stevenlavimoniere Oh, I know! I just wanted to get a handle on about how much to tighten. After I wrote that it occurred to me that you might think I was going to use a torque wrench but was so busy I didn't get to editing that part of clarifying. Sorry!
I didn't know those Carlin transformers were not designed for constant duty. I have them on a couple of boilers I own -- they've been OK, but I have had a couple fail in the last 15 years. What do you recommend in place of the Carlin?
