I’ve never had one of the outboards opened up, not sure which crank setup that is. I do have a partial outboard, I’ll have to see if it is all put together at the crank end or if that’s pulled apart. I’ll try to take dig it out later this evening.

I might be interested in a couple, send me a couple photos once you got one.

Man you’re making fast progress! What kind of tools are you going to put those on?

I thought I had found someone local that was going to make a few for me and then he disappeared. I wish I had a small lathe, should be pretty simple. I did find the right size wood balls for the other style pull knob, even thought about tapering a dowel and bonding it to a wood ball to make the older style knob but just never had time to try it.

Definitely. I built a little test stand for that very purpose. Get them rebuilt and then do an initial run and then on the display shelf. You’ve got a nice pile o’ gold there😉

Looks great, how does it run?

I finally bought an ultrasonic cleaner, now I just need to do an engine to see if I get results like you do!

I’ve had this happen so many times, those little needle bearings with the star washer can be a real pain! you’re definitely making me want to pull out an engine and do something.

That looks like a nice clean unit!

That one does look nice and clean! I hear ya, those little roller bearings can be a pain.

Happy New Year John! Great to see another engine getting new life. You’re inspiring me to do another O&R, it’s been too long. Recently I’ve been restoring some old Singer sewing machines with the direct-drive motors (models 101, 201, 301 and 15-91), kind of a fun change of pace and will be useful for a few projects I’m planning with canvas and leather.

Jumping in late here, it’s great to see this car again and the gang already figuring out how to get it back together. That Little Big Mans would be an amazing event to see in person! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Came across this add for a mini bike that used the 20A engine… https://www.ebay.com/itm/204386907939

Very nice, that one looks to be in great condition too! What is the little nut just above the handle grip! Is that part of a kill switch?

That is an interesting pattern. The condition of the piston and rings look new. Maybe the pattern is as you suggest and it’s just some early wear-in, barely looks used. A light honing is probably a safe bet.

That Jaeger winch sounds pretty cool! I’m anxious to get this one running just to see how the mechanism works.

Indeed, it’s been really challenging lately.

Exactly- this is the one. Seller was great to work with!

Proud new owner of the Irvington Mini Winch. My plan was to get it all ready before posting but couldn’t wait. The previous owner was super awesome and reached out to me before parting with it. I of course was very interested and hope to make this a centerpiece in the collection. Another BIG thank you to the owner for keeping this here in the O&R family! I’m itching to clean it up and display it but I have been thwarted by too many business trips and landscaping lately. I hope things will slow down a little soon so I can get back to this. I need to add an air cleaner and swap out the tank clamp.

Probably work but you could make a little pin using some stiff wire or cut a small piece off a large paper clip.

The Hobart 140 was one of then welders on my short list. I’ve heard good things about the Eastwood 140 and 180 as well, bang for the buck. I’ll have to check out the HF Titan line a little closer.

Thanks! Yeah, I was pretty happy with how the aging came out. I ended up cleaning the whole handle, priming it with self etch and then used some aluminum tone paint. After that I did some selective scuffing and put it through some dirt and gravel. Final step was a good wipe with a rag that had some rust and Ballistal. The shop that made the ring for me ended up welding the bracket. I’ve got the bug now to learn how to weld. I’m on the hunt for a decent little welder. I think I’ve narrowed it down to a couple options, just need to save up some $$.

Feels good to finally have this Chug-a-drill project finished. Here’s the final product…. It took a bit of tinkering to get the finish aged and worn-in like I wanted it so that it would look more original to the drill.

Not that I know of, there is complete piston with rings on eBay…
