New Way Stationary Engines

Aim - To serve and support the New Way Stationary Engine restoration community.
There was a New Way Stationary Motor inclined to Hit and Miss. It was designed that way but intermittently it would missfire and this in the confines of the beekeepers shed fired my imagination, grabbing my senses. I just loved the sound of the New Way 3.5Hp working - likely fuelled by a too rich mixture.
With each missfire came the tell tale puff of blue smoke and via the old sawbench, the beekeeping manufacturing business was underway, alive and well. Alf was in his element. Romance, nah, hard work but Hoots the New Way went a long way in firing the imagination of times past running in the present. The present, after all, that's where life is, it's not in the past, but romancing the past, that's the present if you're living it.
The priveledge of life. Present and past is now!!! - alive.

SHROUDS, TEMPLATES and DRAWINGS

With nearly 100 engines from 8 countries on the registry, have you seen our Reproduction Parts page (CLICK) - Looking good for the New Way Enthusiast.  Expanding options and availability for enthusiasts, often happening I expect because of generosity and a kindred spirit.

NEXT STAGE
Looking for some old decrepit Shrouds - Ones that are past it but could still be used for a template.

Or - maybe you are willing to share some accurate drawings you've done that others could use to make shrouds. Please let us know so they can be included in the reproduction processes.

The shroud for the 3.5 Hp Type "C" is taken care of - It is the others we need to get into production. Can anyone help. geo.covey@gmail.com

Or - have you had other Reproduction Parts made for a New Way Engine and can provide information that would allow more to be produced. (eg small size (Horizontal) or high volume (4.5Hp) New Way reproduction mufflers)
Or - does anyone know anyone who can produce a replica New Way Oiler and have the New Way Insignia etc stamped on the top brass face. Oilers aren't dear but getting that authentic look comes at a price- most of us are probably looking for authenticity at a reasonable price.

In a nutshell that is what we are trying to achieve. (Guns and roses - fight for spice)

A Future - Be Restored

New Way Parts
Just added is a separate page to list New Way reproduction parts. At the present time the New Way spares is confined to 3.5 Hp Type "C" shrouds and 10 inch diameter cast iron mufflers, Fans, Fan shafts and Fan Guards. As of 6 th April, 5 inch diameter cast muffler to fit some of the smaller New Way  Jewels has been added.

It is envisaged this page will expand to allow enthusiasts to procure good reproduction parts where the original is not available or badly damaged and can be templated.

We would like to have reproduction Oilers with New Way stamping available if a supplier can be found.

Have a look at the details and photos on the Reproduction Parts (CLICK) page.
