Restoring an old friend, my Mantua Pacific

[secondhandmodeler]

Corey,

The easiest thing you can do to improve any video is use a tripod (or a stool and a stack of books, etc.). Anyway, I'm glad to see the old gal run. Sounds like you may need to adjust the gear mesh ever so slightly to reduce the grinding, but otherwise it looks great, especially pulling those fine-looking heavyweights! Super work on the rebuild, and thanks again for sharing your progress. I'm always glad to see a steam restoration thread.

Galen, I was wondering why it was growling like that. How do I adjust the motor to stop the noise? Does the motor need to be shimmed a tad to relieve some of the pressure? Any help would be apprectiated.
