After 95 years underwater I’ve got the swing engine and horizontal crowd running on air

This is a penberthy steam jet pump used to either siphon or add water to the tank. This was on a piece of pipe found on the steam shovel and I figured I would try to fix it. Well after being underwater for 95 years time and patience This 100 year old ejector is working again. This is such a fun project to work on.

Putting new rivets in the shovel, had the grandson of the original owner Bill McKimmy helping his grandfathers machine

Welding the kick out together at the Brownsville show.

The horizontal crowd automatic kick out in place and working. This make Bob’s machine complete.
