PayPalLate 1800s or early 1900s Atlas stationary, portable steam engine. The flywheels measure 42" in diameter, and the total length of the engine is approximately 80". The Pickering governor has a 2.5" steam inlet and I estimate the engine to be rated at 35 horsepower. This engine is extremely rare, especially for this side of the country. There is another Atlas Steam Engine similar to it at Disney's, California Adventure, near Grizzly River Run (as seen in the last photo). For the past few years I've been working to get it operational. The issues are, the valve rod guide is broke and has an old field repair that would probably still do the job. I had a new spindle machined to replace the bent one on the Pickering governor and I've got new spring steel for the governor, to replace the leaf springs. The crank shaft has some pitting however it has been determined that the crank cannot be ground unless the flywheels are removed and the only safe way to remove the flywheels would be to cut the crank and drill the crank out of the flywheel, then machine a new crank shaft. I spoke with Utah's Division of Boiler and Elevator Safety and the boiler to power this engine would require certification however the engine is exempt because of its age and because it is not a pressure vessel, the State of Utah would allow the engine to run again. The piston, cylinder and ring appear in good condition and I believe this engine could run again, but with the time and money required to get it running and the need for a certified boiler, coupled with not knowing what to do with after it is running, I have decided it may be better used as a museum piece or as yard art, like Disneyland has done with their Atlas steam engine. This engine is whole, it includes everything on the pallet in the photo, with all the steam rated valves that I have collected along the way. This is a unique piece, and I'd like a smaller, older steam engine to replace it. It is located in Manti, Utah. I estimate it to weigh 2K to 3K pounds and will eithet need to come apart or a heavy piece of equipment, like a telehandler will be needed to move it.
