to help stop oil leaks



See the video of one in action


I made up one of these over the Memorial Day weekend to help out a lady selling ice-cream with one of those John Deere powered Ice-Cream makers that was puking oil out all over the place from the governor side cover and the magneto and crankcase cover gasket. She was set up at the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club\'s Silvercreek Museum during the Memorial Day Steam Train rides on the Silver Creek & Stephenson Railroad and when I saw how bad her engine was leaking oil on Saturday I decided Sunday morning to whip up a breather for her. Hers was the early style JD \"E\" before they added the factory breathers and the previous owner had already drilled the crank case cover and added a long \'stand pipe\' made of 1/2 inch water pipe but then it was just capped off with a pipe plug. I made the breather to simply screw in place of the plug.

It works by simply popping up to relieve the crankcase pressure on the power stroke and then drop back down to create a vacuum to suckanyoil back in that might have seeped past the gaskets and seals thereby eliminating thepesky leaks around the mag, crank cover, governor cover plate, and pushrod. It should also help low compression engines to run a little better as they are no longer fighting the crankcase pressure on the power stroke and get a small boost in vacuum on the intake stroke if the rings are worn.

I made a couple minor changes on the one I have listed here, namely drilling it for the cross pin after inserting the pipe nipple instead of fighting with it going together trying to pin the shaft in place with it partially screwed together, but it still functions the same as the one shown in the video. Please note that the oil on the side of the engine in the video from the 00:25 to 00:29 mark is leftover seepage still running down the side from the crankcase cover gasket from before installing the breather. If you look at the (3rd) picture of the engine you will see how bad it was leaking prior to adding the breather. I have a couple more \'design changes\' in mind for future breathers if it looks like there might be a market for them and I decide to make more, but they will still perform the same function of relieving pressure and creating vacuum.

While I made this to go on the John Deere model \"E\" hit and miss engines, they should work equally well on any brand, make, or model of engine with a closed crank that has issues with oil leakage.A few that come to mind includeStover, International \"M\", McCormick Deering \"M\", and others.


Selling AS IS based on pictures and description.


Payment to be in U.S. Currency through PayPal unless picking up in person.

Shipping will be calculated by size & weight, plus a small $1.00 S&H fee to help cover the cost of some of the materials used, though I usually end up spending more than that on tape alone making the packages secure for safe shipping. It will be well packaged and should arrive in the exact condition as shown in the pictures. International shipping is available as well if you\'re willing to pay for it.

Please Note: While I have always listed my items as shipping within 3 days, I have bumped that up to 5 days due to no longer having Internet access at home anymore and having to drive to library 7 miles away to even see if anything sold or not. Chances are I will still be able to ship items in 1 or 2 days as I always have, but I wanted to give myself the extra \'cushion\' if needed.

Thanks For Looking & Happy offerding!

Please also check out my other current and future listings as I get time to photograph and list more items. Never know what I might list next from 35-40+ years of collecting and hoarding anything and everything. align=\"left\">
