Maybe they can be persuaded to ship it , it'd probably help a bit if they removed that heavy electric motor too, it would have gone long ago if it wasn't pick-up only.

Good to hear you made it to Arizona OK, hope everything works out & you settle in fine at your new job.
Good to hear it's going to a good home, the starter housing looks to just need a good clean, the rest needs some rust cleaning up, not sure if the coil can be repaired or not. I do wonder how much use it had, as the exhaust collector isn't discolored as you would expect from a well used example.
Same here, I have a few incomplete spare engines for parts, nice to have them so you can complete a restoration without having to find more parts.
David
-
Hopefully you can get good deal for the parts engine. I'm not surprised the TT seller didn't want to come down in price as it was an auction and has gone for $96 + shipping.
David
-
You could probably make a bit doing that, but you will end up with a lot of parts that no one wants, as that chainsaw parts seller on ePay has.
David
-
No, the carbs are on ePay too. The only part I can't see is the starter cord & pull handle that was with the Drill.
Maybe they wanted the Drill, but it's now got a broken gearbox housing with handle snapped off (not sure why they describe a hole in the gearbox as a crack either ).
I hadn't noticed before but the prices may be high due to shipping being included in asking price.
There is another more complete TT available for $75 + shipping at the moment.
David
-
There's a TT parts motor on epay now. Search Tiny Tiger and you should find it. Nothing to loose by "making an offer" and asking a few questions. Looks like it might have all the parts you need plus some
If it's the one I'm thinking of (below), then the seller bought that job lot of parts TT & Drill for only $75. Don't offer too much for it.

I'll have a look through my damaged carbs & spares and let you know if I can help with some original ones, I'm out tomorrow so it will probably be Sunday when I get a chance.
Also I have now found a UK supplier for flat head fillister screws as well (plain or black stainless available), they don't have Philips head ones, but Webhead has helped with those in the past.
I do have an eye for the detail, plus an archive of pictures permanently borrowed from ePay & goolge to help.

You said you were looking for a cylinder baffle for your current project (the Toby Cart), if you were to make a replica of the type normally found on the C/Saw, then you will have that spare newer one for the other engine, just a thought.
David
-
The Model F engine is in lovely condition, almost NOS, sadly I haven't got the history of what it was originally bought/used for, that is if it was ever fitted to anything.
David
-
Are the screws your looking for the carb three smaller ones or the larger one?
David
-
Looking very nice , should there be a nut (circled area in picture) attaching the bolt for the rear wheels? Some of the others in this thread seem to have one.
Make sure they know how to stop the engine should they need to.
David

These compressors don't have a piston, it uses a rubber diaphragm instead.
The speedy sprayer versions were sold without motors for around $30 in the early 1960's, see the google books link in post #5 for the 1961 advert.
Anyone fancy a challenge, there is a speedy sprayer on ePay at the moment for $40 (or make offer), remove the 1725 R.P.M. motor and add the appropriate O&R engine.
Only problem is it's pick-up/collection only from Louisville, Kentucky; https://www.ebay.com/itm/143159860677

Here are some pictures of my O&R Model H (1700 R.P.M.) the serial number has been removed from this one and the coil HT wire has a join where it has been repaired.
David
-
It would be a shame to part out that nice model H.
I thought you had finished the C/Saw, what screws do you need? Maybe post on the C/saw thread.
David
-
The Model H is a 1700 R.P.M version (3.666 to 1 gear ratio) with clutch, Model E is the same with no clutch.
I haven't got these yet, but Model G is 3300 R.P.M. (1.896 to 1 gear ratio) with clutch, Model D is the same with no clutch.
The Model J (900 R.P.M.) is more common than any of the above.
The Model H on ebay certainly looks like it will clean up nicely, it's just a shame the tank got battered (at least it has one) & the coil is knackered, anyone tried negotiating a better price?
David
-
Currently it's on a shelf with the other display only engines, it may get restored one day (with grease instead of oil in the gearbox) but there is a much later 1HP Model J and a Model H (age unknown as SN # has been removed) here that I intend to repair first.
Can't say I would want to live in a big city either, probably couldn't afford anything with enough space for a shed/workshop, house prices in cities here are way too overpriced.
There is a Model H on ebay.com (only) at the moment, it's not in great condition, the coil has the HT lead pulled off, but might be of interest here.

And they are back to being unavailable on ebay, maybe he ran out.
That isn't a problem as John @Wallfish said he was having another batch made.
Also the seller of the Toby Cart (a while ago) had no problems adding a "myoldmachine" forum link.

Those Honda engines are so good the Chinese are cloning them. Over here we have a car show on TV called "Top Gear" they tried and failed to destroy a Toyota Hi-Lux, each time they thought it was dead they got it going again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk
I haven't got much Pioneer stuff here (possibly only a 1980's turntable which required very little work to repair), but have watched the video Shango066 did on the Pioneer SA9500, I don't know how high end it is, note Shango066 only really does diagnosis & resurrection videos not full restorations.
There aren't many stereos here due to the space they take up, but I do have plenty of vintage radios from pre-war tube sets all the way up to the solid state stuff from the 1960's & 1970's, the tiny Sony radios from the 1960's are quite nice. I also have some Japanese made test equipment that Yokogawa built for HP, the quality is superb too.

The Honda E40 (40W) & E300 (300W) generators were available by the mid 1960's, they are indeed much quieter and the one I've seen several times at engine shows was very reliable too.

https://global.honda/heritage/episodes/1965thee300.html
The E300 would certainly have been in direct competition with the Tiny Tigers.
David
-
It's in almost perfect condition, probably not had much or any use, the only damage is to the coil which has been bashed over at some point in the past, the resin is a little cracked as a result.
Apart from the Model F that @JUST O&R posted about on the Toby Cart thread I haven't seen another either, Model J's are more easy to find.
Note; these early gearbox engines have alloy gears which apparently wore out quickly according to the NIAE report, possibly not helped by the fact that the oil seems to disappear from the gearcases;
David
P.S. I've got a few O&R's here that look to have spent several decades rusting in hedges.
-
Yes it would take a lot of time to both figure out the correct parts & find them, hence why I suggest looking for an engine block (the sort that RC modellers have removed/lost bits from) and transferring the good parts from your engine to that one. As I did to restore the yellow Tiny Tiger which must have suffered a similar failure.
And refilling the tank every hour.
Don't forget they advertised them as being suitable for powering all sorts of equipment, plus battery charging (just imagine your miles from anywhere with a flat battery & the O&R won't start either), or even cook the worlds smallest goose (below).

The question has been asked about letting buyers know about the forum for help & information, I don't think Max wants to put a link in the description, but could still let buyers know after a sale.
Have a look at the carb sticky thread, it's best to let people know about the whole thread, rather than just where to find a kit as there is a lot of useful information there that could be missed.
David

I haven't seen much for sale in the UK recently, but found this nice condition engine for sale on ebay in France, it's an early Model F with 6.921 to 1 ratio gearbox for 900 R.P.M. output shaft speed.
Decals on this engine, not many had the Model printed on the O&R eagle logo decal, I've noticed that it isn't stamped into the crankcase on this engine either.
The gearbox for the Model F has no clutch fitted, a Model J was also made if you needed the same specification but with a clutch, Model J engines seem to be more common than the Model F. Below is part of the 1961 price list showing these two models.
