That is awesome!

That’s awesome David, how you find all this info isn’t amazing. Also very cool that it’s from Petro Powered Products.

JustO&R- Yep, this has to be a busy time for you normally but I can imagine the bump in insanity now that people are at home and can focus on their yards... it’s good your business is doing well! FYI- I’m going to pass on the J motor I found but if anyone else is interested just let me know and I’ll point you to it. The price isn’t too bad really, I just have some other priorities right now. Wallfish- it’s up in your neck of the woods...

Cool idea, but isn’t silicone tubing pretty readily available?

I’m guessing this one has been listed before on here but I couldn’t find it. http://collectionneur-tronconneuse.fr/category/ohlsson-et-rice

Ohhh man that’s looking nice! You’re right, that is one of the coolest O&R tools. I’ve never seen another one. I saw a different style winch one time but nothing like this Bejay.

Thanks David, that’s good to know. I haven’t decided yet on the J engine, price might just be a bit too high right now. I don’t think the guy will come down much more in it.

I’ve done a lot of hacksaw work too and will have some yet to do. The laser cut bases were something I stumbled onto at a local metal supply shop when I was in MInnesota.

That is very cool! I was just looking at something recently that had a little Fox engine like that.

I thought it looked familiar. Photos aren’t great so I can’t tell much about shafts and stuff. It’s missing the gas tank. What size shaft do you need, lengthwise? I’ll look through my stuff, not sure I have one but I can check.

Yep, this is a nice one. I kind of like the C-shaped bracket, it’s a nice clean touch. I need Terry to work his magic for me... I have a couple nice 3/8” base plates already laser cut, just need the bracket and to mount some nice rubber feet/pads, kind of like that model 227 I did a few months back.

Ha... not exactly. I might have a line one and just trying to see what seems reasonable for it. It looks a bit rough and in need of some major TLC like most of these. It has the larger gear box than say a typical chainsaw, maybe for a mini bike application or something??? I’m tempted...

Curious, looking for opinions - is there anything particularly desirable or special about the 3/4 hp “J” model engine with gear box? Just trying to understand what might a reasonable price and if this model could/should command a higher price for any reason.

Ok, that’s really good to know that it’s strong enough just mounted on one side!

Good ideas David. I’ve been contemplating some sort of display stand like that. Part of the challenge is the engine mount tab has been cut away from one side of the engine. I don’t really like the idea of suspending it with all the weight on one side without some sort of secondary bracket that makes contact with the bottom or some other part on the engine to give it some more stability. my engine is currently stuck so I’ll have to take it all apart as some point to free up the piston if I wanted to demonstrate movement of al the parts.

I’ve had good luck with McMaster and even the local Ace Harware stores here in the US for Phillips Fillisters in stainless steel.

Yep, same here but in the evenings and on the weekends it’s hard to stay away from checking in on you guys!

Yep, that is my one hang-up as well. It doesn’t cover up visibility to the parts too badly but a little. If I do end up using this tank I’ll just attach the condenser to the recoil cover at the 9 or 10 o’clock position. I’ve seen several engines set up with the condenser attached at this location, like this Tiny Tiger. I might just use the tank temporarily since it does make for a nice convenient way to display it and keep it from falling over or getting damaged. I can then work on making a nicer display with a custom bracket later.

Just spent some time on the outboard. I’m just going to need to get in a rhythm and pick away at it a little at a time - so tedious!

Ahhhh, yes you had to bring up the outboard... I still need to get back to that one. Maybe I should hold off on the Mono and make some more progress on the outboard and the other saw first. Self control.... it’s too easy to get distracted and partially into several of these projects. It looks like the green paint on my Mono is adhered pretty well to the engine parts but seems pretty flaky on the aluminum handle so hopefully that won’t be too much trouble.

Seeing your Mono coming along so nicely is inspiring me to maybe go “Mono y Mono” and take mine out and start working on it. I’m not a big fan of the bright neon green paint on mine but there is enough there to probably keep it original. I will need to repaint the chain cover and the recoil housing. I’m planning to also remove the paint from all the engine pieces and maybe take the remaining flaked paint off the main handle and just leave it with a brushed Aluminum finish. It might look nice having both handles bare metal. Really don’t like when they painted everything, wires and all...

That’s nice! The knob looks made for it! On the decals... I remember it took a couple weeks to get mine, they might make to order.

I still need to get you that decal for the side cover...

Thanks, I’m very happy to have found this one - they definitely don’t seem to come up very often.
