The 20A engine is bigger than the Compact engines are but I'm not sure if the size of the fogger part itself is different. 

Hi All, This is my 1st post as I am new to this forum & hope the knowledge within will provide answers to my ?'s. A friend who grew up in California recently gave me this Toby Cart he used as a kid.  It was produced by the Halicki company in Gardena California, sometime in the 60's.  The motor is an Ohlsson & Rice, J II .85,  the carb, & gas tank are missing so I am on the hunt for both. I have gone thru the motor & all is good to go!  This is meant as a display piece so there is no panic or urgency to grab parts.  You won't catch me or anyone I care for trying it out!  Would the carb be the same as the J I & J III? if so what source if any?  where could I get a steel tank?
There is not much info available about "Toby Cart" on the internet period.  This is what I've researched so far & hope I have it correct.  Toby Halicki moved to California when he was 15 & started pumping gas, within 2 years he owned his own body shop & eventually ended up with his own wrecking yard, he started building hot rods & custom cars, fixing wrecks etc, he took real estate classes & ended up buying commercial properties, later he was tapped to do stunt driving in movies & eventually caught the acting bug. He took acting class & ending up writing a script (1974) to a movie titled "Gone in 60 Seconds".  The movie was not that successful in N America but Europe loved it & he made millions.  Unfortunately Toby died while filming Gone in 60 #2 (1989) on location in Buffalo, a stunt went wrong & he was hurt by a downed telephone pole. An avid collector, Toby also owned one of the worlds largest toy & automobile collections.  Thanks for looking & feel free to correct or add info. 
Sincerely, Don M

Very Nice Find ! Not very many of those pop up for sale
I have one with a 20A engine but not one of those smaller ones.

It's a check valve. Make sure you can blow through it in one direction (Flow direction). It may be clogged up from old 2 stroke oil.
If it's clogged you can leave it off

Here's the photo @Wallfish

Spark works fine.
When I started cleaning the tank, paint flaked off, so I'm removing the rest and it'll get a new pain job.
Found replacement fuel lines, and I'm adding a fuel filter for good measure.
I'm leaving that small cylinder before the carburetor attached since I'm not sure what it is.
I'll post pics when I'm finished.

That thing looks to be a great condition.
The diaphragm in the carb will need to be changed. When they get stiff it won't prime or pump fuel. And clean the carb. You can follow the pinned carb tutorial. Shoot me a PM for a diaphragm.
Check for spark. If no spark you will need to remove the flywheel then the points cover to clean the contacts on the points.
Obviously clean the tank too
Yes that's the engine shut down

Hi everyone - new member here, and very grateful that I found this forum!
 
I found this Derby Tiller Power Hoe in my father's garage, but when I asked him about it, he didn't even remember having it (he's 84.) Obviously hasn't been used in several decades, and was probably only used a few times.
The man has saved every manual, from every piece of equipment he's ever owned whether he still has it or not (ask me about the last 3 lawn mowers he had. Doesn't own one now, but he's still got the manuals for the others.) But this one is no where to be found!
 
I've read through the O&R and AEP manuals in the pinned thread and found some similarities of course, but it's the differences that I need the experts help with.
I've removed the air filter - foam was intact (until I removed it.) I have new foam to replace it.
The sparkplug has been changed. The cord pulls and retracts smoothly, without catching/sticking.
The red button on the carb springs back without issue, but it won't prime - the fuel lines are cracked. (I had a fuel leak into the bucket.)
It was stored with fuel in the tank as evidenced by the smell when I opened it. I have not removed the cap that is attached to the fuel line. I would have, but it's stuck and I didn't want to break anything...else.
There doesn't seem to be a fuel vent like on many of the other motors. UNLESS that's what the tiny cylinder is that's attached to the fuel line, right before the carb.
 
Obviously I want to replace the fuel lines, but I haven't been able to find dimensions to go with the part numbers (38-11?) The line going from one side of the tank to the other is the one with the leak that I've found.
And I have no idea what that little cylinder is - or where to get a replacement if necessary.
 
The numbers stamped on the metal plate of the cylinder cover (2nd to last pic) are 13 - B - 400, 8070907
And there's no On-Off switch, so is that tab circled in yellow in the last pic my Kill-Switch? (Spark Plug Short-out Spring)
 
Any help is greatly appreciated and I can take more photos if necessary!
Thank you!
 

Thanks, yes this is starting to add up. I believe the first digit in the engine number is the year made?
so the P5 1959, 1960, and 1961.
then the P7 starts in 1962 first with the early fine finned fan starter cover same as P5 screwed from the back.
then the P7 about ‘66-67 with the course or heavier finned starter cover screwed from the front.
then later P7 about 1970 with the screw on pull start assembly.
then 1975 they went to the T23 engines.
then about 1980 they came back to the S22 engines.these look more similar to the Old P7’s

I guess now I need to try to find one of these with an O&R for my wifes collection.

Here is a Brochure picture of a Little Petro minibike.It was made in the early to mid 60's by Odom Manufacturing.This is the same company that made the Petro Powered Products Drill that is on this site along with quite a few other Ohllson & Rice powered tools.Jim Odom also Produced the Comet C Saw for Comet.I will be putting pictures of my Little Petro bikes on this site soon,I need to crop them all as the file size's are too big . Only about 12 of these bikes have been located to date,quite a rare bike.
 
This particular Brochure shows the bike with a TAS engine,but early on,they used the Olhsson & Rice.

With O&R

I think she is up to 21 or 22 now. 

I will have to check it out and see if it says on it what it is.  Thanks for the information. We went to Rough & Tumble two weeks ago and she got a couple more O&R's I will make a new post for them.

That's a nice find. Cool little generators
It's either a Dyna-Mite or a Life sav r
 

Very cool, great addition to the collection. I was just thinking the other day that things have been a little quiet on here for O&R finds. I’m certainly not having a lot of luck finding any these days. Glad you landed that little generator!

Here is the newest addition to her O&R collection. It has a 12VDC port, a 120VDC, and a 120VAC outlet. We bought this from a friend.

Here is my wife's O&R display at our local show this year. It was before she got the Aquabug boat engine.

Hi, just resurrecting an old thread to get some information and advice.
im just sorting out my late Dad’s shed. He was an engineer, garage owner and tinkerer!
i came across the chainsaw and presumably a flexible drive.
i haven’t (yet) found a motor to drive it. Could the drive clamp and belt have been hooked up to the rusty old cultivator that I also found in the garden?
i have no use or desire to keep any of these things, but would rather see them going to another enthusiast, rather than the dump.
Any advice on where to get rid of them would be useful too. The tools are near Yeovil in Somerset, UK.
Many thanks 
Paul.

That's what I thought you meant, just wanted to clarify for others that may read this thread in the future and start searching for a non-existent attachment.
 
 
Here are some pictures of the inside of the clutch unit for the O&R Tarpen Mini Engine power-head, the rear housing & clutch drum are the OEM parts for this...

 
... and the rest of the clutch & engine mounting are standard O&R parts.

 
This threaded adaptor fits in the end on the clutch unit, if you have one of these and it's not seized, add some fresh grease to it to prevent this.

The Tarpen Flex attachments aren't too hard to find, apart from certain ones. Tarpen made PTO units to fit a lot of machinery that used the flexible drive to the attachments, the O&R engine & an electric power head are the only handheld versions.
 
This is how I acquired the Tarpen O&R, it was in this Keil Kraft boat.

 
When I told the previous owner I was interested in O&R tools he said he still had some of the parts that were removed to put it in the boat, he originally bought it from a surplus shop (which had two of them) in the 1970's.
 
The only part it needs is a replacement clutch bearing assembly, if you have a look at the propshaft coupling you'll see the bronze bearing got brazed together along with part of the clutch. I'm also not 100% sure the clutch shoe assembly I fitted is correct but that was all I had.
 
David

I was looking for one for ages and now have three with different tools, there was also a rotary pruning saw and a rotary grass cutter (both of which I have)
 
Heres a period Tarpen advert for them...
