I had the pleasure of visiting Pat Farrell to discuss all things steam. Always an interesting and highly educational visit. He was busy working on replacing the boiler in his 1914 Stanley Model 606. As you can see from the pictures it's a tight squeeze!
We had an intriguing discussion regarding the authenticity of having blow down valves mounted on the front cross member of pre 15 Stanley's. After much discussion and looking thru a few photo albums worth of pictures it sure doesn't seem like they were placed there by the factory.
