hello Forum
I have been lurking around for a while but decided to join to post and participate.
I have a 87 foot old steel boat with a East German SKL 6 cylinder low rpm open head 150 hp engine, works like a charm and plenty of spare parts.
My question comes from desire to by an even bigger boat, a tug with the following main engine.
Bush-Sulzer
Port Eng No. 1529 Type 6-DFMT-17
Bore: 13” Stroke: 17” R.P.M 380
BHP: 650 EXH. TEMP full load: 650 F
The tug itself is in descent condition, built in 1950.
As you can see I need an engine manual before I can lay my hands on one there is a question I hope the expertise here can help with.
What function does this wheel have, it has de burred (sorry my English isn’t all that good) see image, I thought of moving it forward, but then thought it might have something to do with reversing the engine so wont be needed as there is a Kameva propeller system at this time.
The closest I could find was
“PB 19153 - BSIR 1(22):1372 Technical Manual, TM 55-1140, 45. Engine, Diesel, Marine, Gusch-Sulzer, Model 6-DFMT-17. “ from http://www.unl.edu/Bolin_resources/bsir/APPEND_B.HTM and no way to download, any ideas?

It is the camshaft drive gear we're looking at,right? The cam has to be moved toward the right {in picture} to bring up the other set of lobes on the cam.Then it will run backwards.This has to be done with the engine stopped, or the cam gears could get stripped.This may be what happened. If you don't need to reverse the engine,your fix should work, but it would be better to get a new gear made. |
