Winch ITW has now gone, dumper is advertised lots of interest in other machines and most spares have now gone. I have virtually met lots of very nice people it is very pleasing to help so many machines to come back to life.

Well the guy I got this from has more fire department stuff and I'll look for another one (but no promises)

Decided to make me a little fuel can for priming after a full carburetor rebuild. This has a nice little pump on it.

The engine is now mostly back together apart from the carb & starter. This exhaust collector was a bit too far gone for the aluminium foil cleaning method, it was so rusty I had to use the big wire wheel to start with, followed by lots of sanding with the Dremel to get the gasket surfaces smoother (as best I could), forgot to take a before picture. I had to make a few more gaskets for the induction & feather valve assemblies. Here is the coupling used on these UK Champ generators, this one has two three thin washers as the coupling doesn't quite fit level with the PTO shaft. David

Interesting, the label looks to say Controlled Airstreams, searching for that & fan gives the full name as "Controlled Airstreams Inc." a company that made fans, apparently taken over by Tempest Technology Corp. they still sell fans for many applications; https://www.tempest.us.com/ including fans for ventilation after fires.

Ok I'll have a read thankyou

Read Mickwhitts topic on Red Square as I've suggested. He'll answer any questions you ask.

If you wanted a similar looking exhaust it probably wouldn't be too hard to make, if you can find the correct size chrome tubing, just don't go filling it with that stuff though. David

The tank on your Drillgine seems to have the missing part from the second line of the Orion decal. Looking a couple of decals & piecing together the surviving parts, I think this it the full decal (not 100% sure on Associates); ORION MANUFACTURING CO. Div. of Orion Associates Inc. 14873 E. FIRESTONE BLVD. LA MIRADA CALIF. Searching for 14873 E. FIRESTONE BLVD.* gives an extra magazine article (from Popular Mechanics Oct 1963) for the sticky thread; https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CeMDAAAAMBAJ&pg==PP1&lr&pg=PA163#v=onepage&q&f=false It's also in the April 1962 Popular Science; https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LCEDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&lr&pg=PA32#v=onepage&q&f=false Two models were available with the 1360 r.p.m. version having a 3/8" chuck & the 620 r.p.m. having a 1/2" chuck.
