We have a pump just like the one pictured. It is missing the pump impeller. Does anyone know where one could be found? Thanks in advance!!
Welcome Mike, there are several different O&R pumps that all seem to use the pump & impeller, I have three different ones here & only one where the impeller is intact, I should really get some measurements from it.
This is the impeller remains from my Petro Chug-A-Pump with some measurements (pictures taken years ago).
The pan head screws instead of fillister heads is different too.
I've seen three pan head screws* fitted to several Model J engines and my Model F engine, they are shorter so they don't stick out above the four mounting points, for when the gearbox is attached to a metal plate.
*Part no #26-47, three fitted according to the parts list.
Well it can't be earlier than August 1960 as the gearbox models weren't available then (plus no mention of Ultra before Compact anywhere), I suspect the original purchaser/owner re-packed it with that newspaper.
All the paperwork should have dates in the bottom left corner too, like this from the August 1961 engine price list.
I rarely look at US listings these days as they sell before I get a chance can see them, but do occasionally check the completed and find all the interesting stuff.
I usually try cleaning the tank filter using the largest sized glass syringe I have, after first trying the other methods of cleaning, i.e. your cleaner of choice & using nuts etc. to loosen the crud. I'm guessing they don't have "stoves" in Arizona.
I'm surprised it's the tank is like that, it almost looks unused, I guess it got used once, they left the gas in & it never started again and then got abandoned in it's box.
The 410 in the model number seems familiar, I'm sure @pmackellow's Dyna-mite version is also a model 410, but mine is a model 300 (only difference seems to be an extended tank filler).
Same here, mostly back together but I haven't got round to adding the progress to the thread. Rain has stopped me cleaning some parts outside so I've been working on vintage HP counter that's also been in bits for too long.
I forgot to ask before, but what are the approx dimensions of the two trimmer guards? and are there any markings on the trimmer head to indicate if it was either made by AEP* or bought in? Some pictures of the trimmer head may also help @Brian Lynch with locating the lost parts for his Groomer trimmer.

The title of both threads should really have AEP in it.
Unfortunately I can't tell you if it's original or not, my manual was missing the relevant pages (engines type 13B426 & 13B427), did the engine look to have been apart before (it would have been noticeable with it being painted all over)?
Will have a look to see if I have any other later engine diagrams that may show it.
Another one of these appeared yesterday on ePay in France, definitely not a work of art in this condition (needs a lot more than some body filler) but does show most of the parts used in the pictures. It had 9 days left when I saw it earlier today, but just noticed it has ended early before posting.
There are certainly plenty of them where you are, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one or two at a reasonable price to add to your collection if you wanted to, just be aware that the cylinders are spot welded to the crankcase for most of them, the .049 cylinder is threaded same as the later Compact range.
For the last couple of carb rebuilds I've used a piece of gasket paper for sliding the spring over the roller, the gasket paper has also been used to set the coil gap at 10 thou.
