A tasty treat!

For Christmas, I got a White Mountain ice cream freezer for my ice cream engine project. It is a '27 2HP Fairbanks-Morse. The rig is a perfect setup. The belt that goes from the jack shaft to the freezer slips when the ice cream is done, so no timer needed!

This is a half gallon of maple walnut ice cream with no walnuts yet. The end result came out great!

YUM!
If you weren't so far away I'd ask if there were any left (fat chance with ice cream).

Haha, I've been making some just about every other night. There's plenty to go around!

Now that's just cheating.  I remember trips to my Grandparents house where I was the designated cranker.  I didn't get any ice cream if I didn't do the turning.  In hind sight, it was a pretty good deal.  Home made ice cream is the best.

Awesome set up!

I'm not going to sit there cranking that thing for a half hour when I have these nice engines that can do it for me.   Cool My arms are plenty strong.  Grin

OK, here's the 64 dollar question.
How much fuel does it take to turn out a batch of ice cream?  Wink

Excellent question!!  When I was the cranker, the fuel needed was a slab of ham and some mashed potatos!!

I suspect the Hit and Miss is somewhat fuel efficient.  Lots of centrifical forces at work...am I right GG?

Haha, I don't know know how much fuel it actually consumes, but I know it isn't a whole heck of a lot. That engine is throttle governed, so it is firing most of the time. When the throttle plate is completely closed, it is kind of like a "miss" cycle. My guess is, it is better on gas than a modern briggs.  Shocked And it has the cool factor.  Cool

I know my 6 horse Famous doesn't use squat. That stupid thing will run for 2 hrs with nothing in the tank. I haven't been able to figure that one out and I don't really care.  Grin

In the future, I want to convert my whole engine collection to early IHC stuff. I'm thinking a nice little 1 horse Famous would be perfect for this rig.
