Well, with the points cleaned and set I pulled it over with the rope and got a good spark So I delved in deeper... Piston has some damage to the edge of the crown, and there is a lot of play in the little end (between the piston and gudgeon pin) No major scoring on the bore The head gasket was this homemade paper affair and not doing much, I would imagine that I will have to get one made unless I can lay my hands on some copper sheet and do it myself? Is it worth (or even a good idea) to hone the bore if I re-use the same piston rings?

I have merged the two O&R Cut-away Engine threads & edited the title to add the engine type (3/4HP). David

I remember the earlier machines as being a flat colour and the later ones as being a metallic paint. Presumably the rest of the machine is available for a colour match. Find an easily removable unfaded part - such as the seat bracket to any decent auto paint supplier.

John, I had a chance to try the impact wrench this evening and that did the trick! Clint

I went to a big Case tractor auction a couple years back. About 50 running units. The pedal tractors brought more than the full size ones!

Thanks for the welcome Mattblack , will be trying Meetens to see if they have the parts ,I know someone who rewinds mag coils . I have taken the carb of too clean .

Not very pretty, but it worked. I will clean and set the points and check for a spark and take it from there.
