Hi Terry and welcome! This was posted in the for sale section, are you selling this, or should I move it to a more appropriate area?

Hi all. Thanks for letting me join the Forum, First time on any Forum so please bare with me, I have just bought a Horwool Triplex 84, Told it was 1967 but can not verify this. It seem mostly complete except the brakes, At the moment i cannot identify the brake backplates so i have no idea what parts i need, Any help and information would be a great help, I have most of the cutting parts but probably will not be fitting them, It has a Wisconsin S12D engine fitted if this makes any difference, Any info on any aspect of the machine would be gratefully received, Thanks Terry Day,

Wow, that's in like new condition

Just realized I never added any photos on here of the TAS pump I picked up awhile back.
-
I was hoping to find out how much would be a good price to sell it for, I dont want to over price it
-
That’s an awesome drill, even though it needs a little TLC. There’s just something about gas powered drills that I love. Hope you can snag it for a good price.

Hi Tom, thank you for sharing the photo of the new generator, that’s a really cool unit! I’ve never seen one like that, it definitely has a little bit of O&R Tiny Tiger vibe. I have t come across much lately here in the US. I don’t think the older P5 and P7 engine tools were as popular in the States. I did find another P7 engine but other than that it’s been slim pickins’. I also need to up my game in the search process. Things have been quite busy so not as much time to enjoy the hunt. Glad you got the generator and hope it arrives soon. Send me some more photos to drool over

Wanted to give a very late update on this. I bought a car cleaning kit with some stiff rods & it turned out one hole on the backside of the carb bowl was blocked. As soon as I got this cleared noticed immediate improvement in the sound when trying to start. I then noticed that the governor fin was the wrong one for the engine. Sourced the correct one luckily on eBay from a random listing. Installed a new spark plug & she burst into life. Unfortunately I ended away with work for most of the summer so never actually got a chance to use it but hoping I'll get one before the real cold sets in or in the spring if needed.

I worked for UPS for 30, L O N G years. I am familiar with the way to pack items to make the shipping rate cheaper AND make sure the item gets to its destination in one piece. All carriers go by weight AND what they call "Dimensional Weight". If a package is real light weight but big, they charge by the dimensions of the package. So if you can make it smaller, you can pay less to ship it. Just make sure that the items don't scratch against each other. ALSO, make sure that the engine is free of any fuel. Drain it and try to run the engine out of fuel. PACK IT WELL!! If you saw how stuff can be handled within the sort hubs, you would not want to ship anything.

We used a soldering gun to solder the wire. I do not understand why the black wire comming from the outlet branches off and connected to the diod with a wire nut that was crimped from the factory.
-
Carefully check where that wire was repaired. It's difficult to open that crusty stuff up without cracking more but just go slow. Solder with a solder gun and not a torch Check the other wires too as once you open it up and move them the insulation cracks easy.

I never checked if the dc was working. When I put the 2 probles of the meter in the plug socket and put it on continuity it beeped indication of a short.
-
The winding wires of the generator without anything connected to them. You should be able to figure out if something is shorted or if the wire is broken and not making a complete circuit. Then you can verify through the AC plug as the wires connect directly to that. Systematic detective work going through each circuit to hunt down where the issue is. It appears there are 2 separate set of windings. One for the AC and the other for the DC. Verify you are connecting the correct wires to each. Was the 12v DC working but not the AC?
-
I have a talking meter so put the meter leads on the wires that go to the plug outlet?
-
-
That old epoxy is always cracked and brittle so moving the wires can expose the copper wire and cause a "short". Maybe use a meter to confirm the windings are not shorted to each other. Have someone look at this wiring pic for you. It's an open generator with the wiring
-
A friend helped me and we soldered the wire and I put the generator together. It is not producing 120 volts. I even tried speeding ut up and no change.

I've received them shipped both ways. Full unit in a large box and partially disassembled to fit in a smaller box. Never shipped one of those but i have broken down large tools and shipped in a smaller box. I

No slack at all. the "epoxy" or whatever it is holds and isolates the winding wires. You can pick it out carefully and solder the wire back but be sure to cover it again. Something like liquid electrical tape should work.
-
I replaced the plug outlet on a tiny tiger generator and the white wire that goes to the plug broke off flush with the windings. I was wondering if some one has the stator that i can buy because it looks like the wire comes from the windings from the middle of the winding and there is no slack. Thanks

I want to sell a ohlsson hedge trimmer on ebay but i am wondering how do people ship large items like that? Do they take the blade off it? thanks.

Partner doing a shed clean out, has had the P-7 TAS Tanaka 2-stroke drill in the shed for years, all original and still starts up, he's wanting to sell but unsure of reasonable price to put for it. Have been researching and discovered theyre rare these days yet still people wanting them whether for parts or to clean up and use.
-
I found out that the plug broke so i ordered one from amazon. Does any one have a schematic for the generator? One of the wires that went to the outlet came off and I can't find where it goes. It is the black wire that comes from the outlet. We looked on the Stator but did not see where it should go.
