Looks amazing! Nice to see the progress. That throttle looks good too. Nice touch with the heat screen over the exhaust, that’s a good detail just like the original. I need to get back on my cutoff saw and get in the groove again.
I had to go back and watch your maiden voyage video as well, too funny!

This may have been posted but I didn’t seen it. Here’s some info on the O&R Warn winch.

It’s similar in color to this generator

Very nice unit and glad to hear you got it running. I’ve never seen that model of pump, it looks kind of like a combination of a couple different style pumps.
Factory or Wallfish are probably your best bet for having info.

I’ve seen a few of the Keene sluice boxes but people want outrageous money for them for some reason. Last one I saw just for the sluice box was about $600. I keep watching though...

If the buyer is really unhappy, let them know there is another buyer in the US that will gladly take it

Your pump looks to be in really nice shape. I haven’t opened up the pump yet but I suspect it will be cracked like yours, especially having lived and used here in the hot desert. I’m going to need to flatten the base plate a bit on mine. Someone also drilled holes in the base plate, probably for some sort of simple loop handle.

Wow, that’s some big changes. I hope things are going well. New jobs are always a challenge but I hope it’s something you’re enjoying.

That’s a great question.... I still have a couple projects in front of it, including the O&R cutoff saw that I need to finish assembling. I just need to get myself back in the groove again!
You working on any O&Rs these days?

I still need to finish putting the cutoff saw back together. My break from the saw has been prolonged and I’ve been fixing up a vintage Raleigh Twenty 20” folding bicycle. Picked up this cool O&R Keene pump from a local guy that does gold prospecting as a hobby.

Here are some photos of the TAS P7 ice auger, it cleaned up pretty well. I had to replace the kill switch and make a new carb diaphragm and gasket, replaced the fuel and vent lines and the spark plug and it fired right up.

That is super cool, very nice Christmas present. Looks like it will clean very nicely! That starter looks a lot like the starter on my TAS P7 ice auger.

Wow! That is a super cool advertisement, nice find!

Happy New Year to you as well Paul!

Very nice, that turned out great! Looks better than new! The palnuts are also a nice touch.
-
That pull knob turned out fantastic!

Thanks David! Yes, the hand is pretty much healed now. Lots of scar tissue but it’s starting to look and feel normal again.
I agree- I don’t like that style of screw. An Allen would have been much better.
I hope to get some time soon to finish up the saw and start another O&R project.
-
Will do, I’m anxious to get it running and try it out when the weather warms back up.

Been awhile since I posted on the cutoff saw. After the hand surgery it’s been a little slow but I did make a little progress the other day and started getting the engine back together.
I also took a little break from O&Rs to work on a vintage Aquascooter. I’ve got it completely torn down now for a full rebuild. It’s an interesting engine...
