Well the bearings listed are the same for the Type 185 (chainsaw) and the early Type H, both use a pair of A-27-1 (single) bearings. The early Model H uses gears type A-62-2 (driven) & A-62-4 (pinion/clutch drum), both are still listed in the 1971 parts list. The Type 216 & 195 both use later gears of type A-62-14 (driven 66 tooth) & A-62-20 (pinion/clutch drum). There are different part numbers for the gear-case halves. The differences may be the taper & how far it the shaft sticks out once assembled, you may have to experiment and probably source or make a matching shaft extension for the taper if it needs one.

Paul has some good detailed pics on pg1. It's an everyday O&R 1/2" shaft. Looking at the pics, it might be a problem to use that chainsaw box unless you're willing to rotate the engine to raise the shaft. Take a good look at it and line it up to see if it works. If you still want the gear it's yours. At least the whole thing didn't break off. Should be an easy fix

Interesting, wonder if they made this as more of a universal base to allow for different power setups. I forget what type of electric motor was on this particular one. It saved another $25 off the shipping by removing it. I’ll also have to make the mounting plate that the gearbox attaches to.

Interesting the base plate you have seems to be identical to the one used for the O&R version, even has the two extra holes for the vertical plate that the O&R engine attaches to, see post #12 in the this thread. David

I’ll give this thing a good look tonight or this weekend now that the compressor unit is here and I can see how things line up, or don’t. I appreciate the offer on the gear and will let you know if it looks like the chainsaw gearbox might be a good option.

Superb work, Richard.

Well, It's a bit quiet here again. so I'll add an update in the hope someone will be along later and may want to view something recently posted. Would be sorry to see this forum close. Switched my attention over to the Engine where, for longer than I had planned, have been making tiny bits I'd delayed until I began the final assembly. Loads of preparation before I could dodge the weather conditions and get the etch primer on during the good still, dry days since last September. Tested the water pump and all's well, so fitted to it's permanent location- Did some micro milling on the pump's eccentric sheave using a 1/16" diameter Slot Drill to reflect the casting style of the full size. Finished the motion work at the cylinder end and has all the full size detail design specification incorporated- The Back Plate carrying the regulator lever and the gear selector now has a number plaque fitted. 8mm between the fixings and the numbers bent to shape with tweezers from tinned fuse wire, sweated into a bed of solder in the recess of the plaque and painted. The numbers relate to the boiler's certification reference numbers- I shall be dulling off all the bright polished steel bits using the same process as in the Water Cart wheel rim faces. The pump eccentric strap and rod (2nd pic) have been treated and look much more realistic in this scale. I have managed to get some top coat onto the Tender/Manstand and a few other parts today, so I hope I can maintain the progress rate. Regards.

Hi all, Hope everyone is well. Haven't posted on here in a long while as work is incredibly busy but try to pop on for a browse now and then. Just thought I'd share my latest purchase as it's pretty special (in my opinon!!) and I have been after one for years. Just the one picture for now, more to follow. Curious to know how many of these exist in the UK? Tom

Its arrived !! The unit fits on the engine, just need to modify the base plate so it all drops on nicely...
