JUST O&R

That was to funny.  I just watched it a few time myself That looks great if you just looked at a picture I don't think you would know the difference   (Awesome job )

It's been a long build but @CNew Clint lit a fire under my butt when he messaged me recently about some foot pegs. They were ordered and once they showed up it gave some incentive to work on the bike. Still have some stuff to do and think it may get another headlight since it does look better with the dual lights. Haven't cut the handle bars to add a spring so they fold. My father has a gas tank which is much closer to original if not the original type so that will go on once I get it.
Finally glad just to be able to post something as it's been a bit slow on the forum.

 

 

That's a nice Auger I like the way the handle go all the way around.
Hopefully I can find a house soon so I can get back to work on these things . look great

And another recently arrived O&R fuels advert now on display...
 
 
 

This advert for the smaller aero engines arrived today all the way from the USA
 
Now framed and with the display...
 
 


 

Finally got around to cleaning up the Aquabug cover that my mate got mended for me
 
Its now in the display next to the machine, I still think it looks better without the cover so am leaving it off for now...
 
 



 




 

I made an aluminum base plate based on DustyB's picture provided. Thanks again DustyB!  I used an old scrap speed limit sign I had and cut it out of that.  Believe it or not, I was able to find locally, NOS 10-32 Palnuts.  It was an all or none purchase so now I have around 80-100 of these...   I was not able to find any feet that were close to original so I decided to use what I had, and since I have extra Palnuts,  I used them as fasteners on the feet as well. Not correct as original, but it all matches nicely and I think it looks good...
 

 

 

 

He's definitely on a roll. My guess is about 35 ( looks great) My generator is still on the bench. Maybe this fall I will find some time.
keep up the good work.
Clint I think your blades are in backwards?
 

That happens here too   That's a nice outboard you have there!!

Hi Paul
 
Thanks!
I can only get access to two of them at the moment due to my garage being full...attached photos of both my outboard and one generator. The generator has all the original paperwork with it too which is great.
Here is one of my generators

Another interesting book also arrived from the USA during the week...

The finished Nash Boadicea powered by O&R got a photo in my article in the latest issue of LAGT...
 

Ouch! Guess O&R'ing is in your blood.
Hopefully you heal up quick

I’ll add some more photos later but I’m now one with O&R... while working on the cutoff saw I was trying to remove a set screw/bolt with quite a bit of force. The slotted head snapped and the screwdriver skewered my hand between my thumb and pointer finger. I ended up at the ER yesterday and when they did x-rays they saw a piece of shrapnel. Apparently half of the screw head that snapped off went with the screwdriver blade and got lodged deep in my hand. I go in for surgery tomorrow morning for them to try to fish it out. You can see in this first photo the half of the screw that chipped off.
 

 
Piece of the screw removed from my hand this morning...
 

First I have ever seen. Jumped at it. I am more partial to letter series briggs so I am going to flip it to fund my Briggs needs. Found your group trying to research it during listing. Gotta love previous owners take on soup can gas tank lol.

This one isn’t mine, sadly. I was contacted for a carburetor diaphragm and gasket. I requested permission to post these photos as I thought you all would enjoy this one. I’ve not seen this winch before, how about anyone else?  Looks to be made by Irvington out of Portland, OR.
 

Something like this

I see it takes all of us to keep him straight. look great

Look great. color looks spot on to me looking forward to seeing it done and on the shelf.
let me know when your ready for a project or two

Never replaced one before but that should work to spread it out you night need to  take a roll pin punch to it after that to tighten it a little.
I have no idea what make people think they need to drill out the rivets anyway

Been at my mate Dunc's over in Scotland today. Lending a hand to build his carport and workshop.
 
This is the carport. Room for two cars and will have store room/workshop at the far end.
 

 
 This will be his workshop and garage for his tractors, digger etc.
 

 

 
This is a rather steep decent down to the main workshop.

 
  This is the result of a tractor and loaded trailer, running away from the top of that slope, when the handbrake failed. There was no brush at the corner at the time and tractor and trailer came straight down. It stopped when it hit the digger's bucket which was parked at the bottom. Digger ended up leaning against a tree and only suffered broken widows in the cab door..
 
 Tractor didn't fare so well.

I had a long day driving yesterday to collect this drill (& some vintage electronics), it's the nicest Bridges Mini Mota drill I've seen and it came with the original box & instructions.
 
 

 

 

 
And a first for me this drill actually came with the chuck key.

You should have kept quiet, patina'd it and fitted it to an old tool. You'd have had the O&R geeks in a frenzy looking for another one...
