wow, $25 is a steal - nice find!

I ended up doing the same thing. I’m still hoping to find someone locally with a lathe to make a couple.

I've found this Ace Hardware Banner Red to be a decent match, especially for the older style engines. Search in the O&R section for a Chip-A-Saw restoration and you’ll see what it looks like on the recoil cover.

Very cool, nice find - looks like new!

Someone out there has a huge stash of these knobs from the recent eBay parts lots That sold. I’m trying to find someone local with a lathe to see what it would cost to turn a couple. If I had a lathe I’d do it...

Thanks David, awesome find! I’ll let the owner know of this issue of Mechanix Illustrated.

This one isn’t mine, sadly. I was contacted for a carburetor diaphragm and gasket. I requested permission to post these photos as I thought you all would enjoy this one. I’ve not seen this winch before, how about anyone else? Looks to be made by Irvington out of Portland, OR.

Finally all back together. I don’t have a natural wood knob so I have a black one on there temporarily. It has really strong compression now and spark but I haven’t tried to run it yet.

Overall it’s in pretty nice condition. I am going to need to come up with a solution for the induction case seal, it was deteriorated.

Very nice, cool to see an O&R bit in this magazine - nicely done pmackellow!

I’d like to read that- what issue?

Ha, I haven’t tested it yet other than I did verify spark and it’s nice and strong so I’m confident the engine will run. I just wanted to put a fresh new spark plug in it and didn’t have one handy.

I really like how these early models were designed. I’ve got it all torn down now.

The Champion UY6 is the correct spark plug.

Interesting... thanks! By the way that primer button is different- never seen one like that.

Yep, I need all the help I can get

I’m calling this one done for now until I can get the fuel mix and chain oil decals replicated. The recoil decal is on now and I flipped the chain.

Ha, nice catch. I wasn’t even really paying attention (obviously) when I was putting the chain on yesterday. I was more focused on not damaging the fresh paint... I’ll get that flipped around today, thanks! I tried reaching out to the guy that makes the replica O&R decals but I haven’t heard back yet. I may try Titch as well. The tank decals should be much easier to replicate since they don’t require a bunch of artwork which is where things start to get expensive. I still have the original decals but they wouldn’t look good if I tried to reattach.

This is kind of what I was thinking as well. I have the decal and nothing to lose. I haven’t attached it yet but here’s how it would look. I cut a small section of the border so it fits more like a typical decal.

Engine number is 005614

I’m kicking myself to this day for missing a good opportunity on a drill. I forgot about the chainsaw those are really neat too.

Wow, that’s quite the overhaul. It turned out really nice! I didn’t know Petro Powered Products made anything with O&R other than the really cool drill.

Very nice, is that one of your pumps? Those feet are interesting.

Not sure actually, still waiting to hear from Titch on the Chip-A-Saw decal, he’s been pretty busy the last few months. I don’t know anyone else to go to.

Thanks for the photos! I’ve tried stripping the paint before but the black goes deep into the grain. I wasn’t Very successful at getting it to look good. I may try to make one. I wonder if a newer style condenser would work. I don’t have a you the ones like in your photo. I found a cooling baffle so that’s one part down... What would the rest of the pump have looked like?
