From: Measure Twice
Say Nathan113:
Here this guy has done a very professional conversion vertical to horizontal shaft engine conversion and goes on the cheap for parts.
It is only that I see he has a nice lathe and I suppose the scouts have a lot of tools just not parts costing a lot! This guy says he spent 3 British Pounds, so that was less than just one gasket costing twice that he has a friend cutting from material I guess to avoid running up costs.
Confused1985 has even used a lathe to cut down the shaft to fit the clutch he wants to use on it since it was originally larger than 3/4 inch.
His videos
**(I also saw a friend of his in a video he posts doing the dryer)**
I suggest no one try this at home, electric or gas. Go to a Laundromat, but have EMT standing by

1 & 2 of his conversion have to do with valves and seats which if the engine is already running I would suppose you can negate that. This guy was just being very thorough and restoring in my opinion.

PS

Hey, I lost some of the parts when I was moving house. I'm looking for new parts and I will get it running one day!
