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?
-
If you decide you want to part with the Mity Moe please let me know. I might even have another O&R that could be used for a boat if that’s your main goal. Maybe we could work something out.
-
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.
-
Ok, that’s what I figured. I’m going’s to check one more source. I have the guts to another engine that might be old enough to have the plastic bearings. I’ll pull the induction unit apart later today to see if it has one in decent shape.

It took me awhile to track down a source for the diaphragm material in the right thickness. I ended up going with a material from Alpha Engineered Composites. It’s a Fairprene product code WFP-B2N1.

Would it be too risky to re-use this bearing? I don’t plan to run the engine much and since the bearing cage is all confined when installed I’m wondering if it might still work even though it is cracked. What would you guys do?
-
I found one and got all excited but the owner wasn’t interested in selling it.
-
Welcome to the forum! You have us drooling over the fogger, that is a really neat tool. PM me and I can also help you with a diaphragm if someone else hasn’t already got you fixed up.
please add some photos of your Mity Moe.
-
That’s really cool! I have a similar model with the HU carb. I was able to find a carb kit on eBay. I haven’t tried to run the engine yet.
-
I’m certainly not opposed to keeping and re-using the plastic ones, just didn’t know if they were known to fail frequently. Two of the ones I have look to be in ok condition. There is one though that the plastic has cracked all the way through so I’m guessing it should probably be replaced.
-
So did you end up replacing the plastic bearings on the 400 with new style metal ones?
-
Very nice, that’s a great looking drill! Chrome turned out nice and bright too.
-
Here’s one of the shafts and it has a flat washer with the plastic bearing. If I switch to a metal bearing I’m wondering if this washer will still work or if a different set up is needed.
-
Thanks for all the research on this David, very helpful knowing the progression and changes in part numbers.
Do do you know if the bearing swap is all that’s needed or are there any spacer washers or other pieces requires drivers to fit the metal bearings with the various shafts? I will try to add a photo in a little while of one in particular I’m thinking about.
-
What do those shaft seals look like- are they a U-cup seal? If so, let me know the ID and OD.
-
That’s such a neat gear box, love the three speed options!
-
Let me know when- I’ll join you...
-
You’ve definitely got some gems!
-
This is awesome! Yes, very helpful, thank you!
