Not sure if it would be too big but it sure would be neat if you put it in a truck or something, there was a 39 Plymouth with a radial engine in Hot Rod magazine a few years back that was super cool. The family who owns Colorado Auto & Parts built it.

The tools that Merlon gave to Steve were produced under contract to the U. S. government during WW2. I have been fortunate enough to have picked up a few of the 11/32 socket set tools over the years. These tools were cadmium plated due to the shortages of nickel and chromium during the war. I have read that the "WF" embossed on these tools stands for Wright Field, where the Material Division was based, issuing contracts to supply the U.S.A.A.F. during the war effort.

@@Dan_Neely I am pretty sure that Plomb (later Pro Tools, later Proto) and Snap-on were the only tool manufacturers that produced the 11/32 drive socket sets for a short time. There should be some info on the vintage hand tool collector websites that might cover these oddities.

Being a former Pratt & Whitney employee, I have a great interest and appreciation for radial engines. I only worked on commercial jet engine projects, but there was still some work going on for radial engines. There was a team of people building radial engine past to keep the engines supported with spare parts for vintage & historical aircraft. Looking forward to seeing/hearing this engine run!

I love the sound of radial engines. We have many Beavers flying over our house in the summer. There is also a DC-6 that flys cargo from a nearby airport that comes over fairly low. I worked a job one summer where I was flown around in a Beaver on floats. Both the Dads and oldest brothers of my wife and I worked long careers and retired from P&WA. Our Dads started work there in the 1940s. I worked on the assembly floor building jet engines in Middletown 1977-1979. I moved to Alaska and worked in electronics in the oil field commuting to work in 737s that I’m sure had some of the engines I helped assemble as we saw the customer on the engine assembly paperwork. A good friend of mine was an engineering supervisor there and retired in 2011.

I learned to fly in Yakima, WA in 1970. I was taught by an old guy named Charlie McCallister who was 67 or 68 at the time. Charlie's own pilots license hung on the wall in his office and it was signed by Orville Wright in 1927. Charlie died in 1998 at the ripe old age of 95 years. I love old flying stories Merlin and thanks!

I worked for Peirce Aviation back in the day (80's) and spent many a day in that old hangar. They had the Thrush crop dusters there and the Ag Cats were down in Roll. They did keep one Ag Cat in Buckeye if I remember right. I believe the pilots name was Fred and he was a really good pilot. I remember flagging for him when they were spraying L10 acid on the picked cotton fields that had a lot of bolls that hadn't popped. You didn't want to get that stuff on you. They had another pilot, Gil who liked to play poker which was a popular past time when we were waiting to go out. I ran mix trucks, water truck, flagged and ran flaggers a few times. I guess I was privileged once and drove Boyd around for a day. Lots of memories and good times from then. Steve looks familiar to me for some reason, just can't place it. When you get to my age some memories come easy and others you have to work at lol. Those pipes you were looking at actually were used when irrigating but they aren't siphon pipes. Instead of a row coming all the way up to a ditch the farmer would make like a small "lake" at the ditch and those pipes were placed at the back of the lake and would feed the rows. The pipes were placed about 6" up off of the ground on a dirt mound so the lake would form and the rows were fed evenly. Kinda hard to explain it right, easier to draw a picture of how it was done. I've lived in the Buckeye valley all my life, grew up in Palo Verde so I spent a lot of my younger years around farms. I know where that honey hole is lol...

Hey Merlin, Really cool adventure video. You were breaking my heart with all those PLUMB tools, as that is my last name. I do have some of the pieces you gave Steve and I actually use them. I have a top box on a roll-a-way that holds nothing but PLUMB tools. I am the 75 year old end of a family line. I have no children to carry this branch of the Plumb tree forward, thus I know not what will happen to my collection when I am gone. Oh Well, All good things must come to an end ! Enjoy that wonderful old engine.

I just purchased a bunch of tools from someone who passed away and no one in the family wanted his tools. I bought everything and now my son's have a lot of great tools, plumbs included. Hope you find someone who will appreciate them as much as us.

Also when you pulled that 3/8 Plumb breaker bar out I got nostalgic. I won a lot of tools at the Friday night auction as a teengager that had one in it. I loved that it had the 3/8” square hole in the end of the handle so I could also use it as an extension.

You know, a 1000 hp air boat would be pretty cool! 😅 P.S. My dad was a B29 pilot in WWII (and KB29, KB50 pilot in the years that followed). The B29 had four 18 cylinder duplex (double row) turbosupercharged radial engines, each rated around 2200 hp and fitted with a 4-blade prop over 16 feet in diameter. Basically, the B29's Wright engines were the "big brother" to what you've brought home! B29s had a lot of issues with overheating and engine fires. Couldn't spend too much time idling on the ground... had to get moving and flying quickly to keep the air-cooled engines happy. There was a flight engineer seated right behind the cockpit constantly monitoring and tweaking the engines. You probably already know, it's essential to rotate those radial engines a few times before starting them. The lower cylinders tend to fill with oil or fuel while sitting... if not turned over to clear those cylinders, they can hydrolock and destroy the engine! Hey, I don't knock the Russian rebuild! They've done some great work over the years. NASA spent millions to design a pen that would function properly in zero gravity... the Russian cosmonauts simply used pencils!
