Alan do you still have the two early Westwoods that you pictured some years ago ? I am desperately seeking some parts for my 1978 Westwood. Thanks.

turbair turbair fox f.7 motori 1 HP petrol fan sprayer
Wallfish replied to comeinhandy's topic in Hand Tools and Sprayers
Interesting. Turbair made them with O&R engines but that's what I believe to be a Japanese knock off engine of an O&R. Very nice find. Yes, it's probably oxidized points contacts preventing the spark. You can find a few threads on the Turbair Tot in the Ohlsson & Rice section Here's mine -
Good Evening, A recent acquisition from a local auction. I didn't know anything about it and couldn't see anything from the pictures but Petrol and Fan grabbed my attention I couldn't be bothered to go to the auction and decided the worst case scenario would see me removing the fan unit and grafting it onto a G100 After forgetting about it i was well impressed my absentee bid of £2 had secured it with a grand total after fees of £2.53 Doesn't spark but i guess it's a case of dirty points. Don't know if it's complete but looks good with a bag of spares, manual(can't see any print dates) and some sort of carrier? -

I've been collecting and working on Westwood Tractors for some years, and have a few, and yesterday took delivery of a W11 Mark 1 after wanting one for some time. I am very much into original patina so am very pleased with the condition of the paint and decals . The only thing is at some point the gear change has been repaired and although it works well I would like to fit an original lever and leather boot/cover. Does anyone possibly have one they would sell ? The machine has sat unused in the dry for many years so my first job is to get it running , then clean the paintwork and treat with Owatrol oil to preserve it. The deck is nice and solid but has been painted with zinc primer so I will probably return it to original colour. Very pleased with this machine, and looks great parked with my Mark 2 W11, my T1000 and my work horse D1200. Proper engineering these Westwoods ,built to last !

I have a few Westwoods too and I have just got a Mark1 W11 same as yours. My cover over the gear selector is missing and the lever has been modified and as the machine is so original I want to put it back to original spec. Did I notice you had a couple for spares or am I mistaken ? I am in Cornwall so not too far away. Your machine looks super, you have done such a nice job bringing it back to life.

Hi David, I have been trying to decode the Tas Motor engine story too! From my understanding the Tas small engines started with the Tas P5 a 20cc engine in 1960. these were available in 4 different types P5= standard float carby, P52= all position diagram carb, P53 single reduction gearbox with std or diagram carb, and P54 double reduction gearbox with either carb. it seems the Ohlsson Rice 20.6ccwas introduced in 1961 and seems like Tas went one up, In 1962 the P7 22 cc engine was introduced. With a 30x30 bore and stroke, Then in 1964 Tas released all the P7 powered machines, note how the first letter is P designating P7 engine type, the PEG-100 110 volt and the PEG-200 240 volt generators, the PED-3 Engine Drill, the PCS-3 chainsaw sold in Australia under the Mobilco importers name, along with others, including a lawn mower and shearing machine and pump etc. I have noticed three different variants of the P7 engine first has O/R type pull start knob and start cord roller guides and the fan cover screws on from the back, also smaller screws on the carb manifold. Then the middle variant P7 arrived Circa 1966/7 it has a T pull start handle and different start cord guide that screws on and the fan cover screws on from the front, larger screws in the inlet manifold, and different balance factor on the crank. The third variation P7 circa 1970 has a removable pull start mech. which is screwed on the fan cover. My guess is for easier servicing. I have noticed P7 engines in a few different colours, first is a red colour, then a blue, also silver grey on my generator. And have seen a green one on a chain saw. in 1973 a new engine family was introduced the QS-22 22 cc without reed valve the engines i have seen are orange, and Gold. The orange ones have been used on the QEG-300 generator and other contraptions, then in 1975 the T-23 family engines were released. The two TED T-23 Engine drills I have are blue. David I would be interested in what you think on my decode thanks Mate cheers Tom

Tom, that’s fantastic- always nice when they arrive undamaged from shipping! That gray metallic sort of color looks cool, I’ve only seen blue and orange TAS motors, except one lime green one I saw on a Clark’s chainsaw. The air intake is also really awesome looking! Great score!
-
Hey Clint, it arrived today and it’s awesome condition, not had much use and looks like it would probably go! It came with the manual which is cool. i am well pleased with my purchase, the Tas Machines are breeding now at 10! Cheers Tom

Had a great score, my new little Tas generator arrived today! Bit of a time warp. It’s not had much use, and came with original box fuel mixing bottle, funnel and manual. Looks like it will probably go! It’s got Silver grey P7 engine and looks like a mid production I am guessing 1965-‘69 it has the fan cover that has screws on the outside and a T pull start handle. It’s instruction manual has a pic of the earlier engine with the OR type pull start knob. Can’t find much about it on the net. The manual says PEG100 is 110volt they have an AC output socket on left and DC socket on right at 400 watts and 12v DC terminals at 10 amps or 120watts. The one I have is a PEG200 which is the 220-240volt version 400 watts. the Tas engined contraptions are slowly breeding, I have a Sharpcut P7 powered shearing machine, and a PED3 P7 engine drill, and bits of a P7 pump. And a P7 engine, am looking for a P7 chain saw! Cheers from Australia Tom

Any luck getting the cobwebs out of your old number cruncher? I would love to see your Tas Brochures? Cheers Tom

Sorry i am new to this, Could you move it please, Thanks Terry,

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

Hi CNew, so what your time line on the P5 and P7 engines? I have just bought another one a P7 generator hope it will arrive this week!cheers Tom

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.

Newest Addition to my Wife's collection

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.
