Looks great!

By the way, that stamped metal Ohlsson & Rice sign is pretty awesome!

Wow, very nice! 
Do you think that is an original product or a custom use of an engine? It looks kind of like an O&R bicycle engine applied to a pumper cycle.

That’s awesome!

Very cool, nice find!  Looks like it’s in good shape too!

I don’t know if this one has been posted before but I don’t recall seeing this particular water pump. Any ideas on the manufacturer?

I'm not good at the paperwork side what size is the bearing and does your rod have the slot in it that would make it simpler

for me to find what bearing you need

Here are a couple photos... Each roller bearing measures approximately 0.093” in diameter and 0.276” long

I’ll take a look when I get home but I’m pretty sure it had the slot on the bottom of the con rod.

Wow- that is a variety of options!

Hmmmm, very interesting. Let me take another close look at it tonight but I’m almost certain there is no way to get 16 in there. I wonder if they changed the ID of the connecting rod opening or went to slightly smaller OD rollers at some point. This 117 definitely looks like an earlier engine since it has the steel baffles, old style coil, etc. 

Thanks David- I was starting to get confused as well between the versions. This Type 117 only has room for 14 (at least for the size rollers it came with).

Yeah, from now on I’m going to add one of those magnetic part pans inside the big pan.

Ok, good. I don’t want the good stuff you need to keep that!

Ok, cool - the ones you have are used right? No need to break into any NOS sets.

Ha, I did I’m always extra careful with these bearings. I actually think someone else was in this engine before and may have lost one.

Does anyone by chance have a couple spare, used bearing rollers that go to the bottom (large) end of the connecting rod?  I was thinking there may have been one missing when I took this engine apart and now that I’m reassembling it I’m certain once is missing. I think there are supposed to be 14 of these rollers and there are only 13.

Wow! That looks amazing, very nice work!  That is going to look fantastic with the new decals.

I’ll dig through some stuff later this evening and see if I might have a spare push rod.

That’s pretty neat, very cool drill!

So how does the drill chuck actually attach to each connector/gearing option on the gear box?

Absolutely, maybe I could get it enlarged and framed!

That’s excellent, thank you for confirming!

I love that advertisement, would make a nice large print to hang.

Does anyone know if Titch ever made replica decals for the Bunyan or Chip a Saw?

Yes I was thinking of finding a more responsive carb when I eventually build a boat, I have the frame modeled on solid works mostly I just need to get some kinks worked out, the rest of the unit I might restore also just Incase I find out the mity moe is worth a million dollars or something haha but I will definitely hold on to the rest of the parts

What would you recommend for a fuel to oil ratio, most modern equipment I think is 50:1 I’m assuming the mity moe calls for a 25:1 or 30:1 

 

I would hunt for a different engine for your boat and keep the Mity Moe all together and original.  You can still find the O&R engines that aren’t part of actual tools on eBay sometimes. Keeping it original is worth more. 

I second Wallfish, Allstate Gasket is another source for the material. Unfortunately either route you go they require a pretty large minimum order so it gets really expensive. Per Wallfish, he or I can send you a small piece at the price mentioned if you decide you want to cut your own.
