That's the trouble they sell too well even at high prices, you did very well to get one for much less a while ago. David

Yeah I know, I asked them if they could change the shipping away from Global Shipping as they have a high possibility of getting seized in Kentucky, I got a reply saying they would look into it, but heard nothing after I replied. BTW they are for Orline based trimmers not the Little Wonder. David

Not seen any O&R powered hedge-trimmers with a blade that long yet, most they managed was a 30" cut from three different manufacturers (Little Wonder, Grow Gear and Orline). Maybe the larger 20A engine would be more suited for a longer blade, will have to see if they offered anything. David

Looking at the list I have, it states the Type 215 engine was used on a Minibike from Aerocycle Inc. I don't think there is any connection with modern companies using that name. David

Doesn't look too bad condition for the price, I'm more used to seeing them far more badly rusted than that. David

Not yet, but one Type 133 that was listed on ePay (now ended) does show the extended exhaust parts and tank bracket. David

Some more pictures of the handle, outside diameter is approx 10", the height from the flat section is approx 9½" and the tube is approx ½" diameter. The flat section is approx 1, 15/16" by 1, 11/16" with a hole to suit the switch fitted, I suspect my switch has been replaced judging by how chewed up the nut is. David

The prices for a trio of the engines from these trimmers on ePay a few years ago were between $55 and $90, none of them were runners and one had been bodged by a reseller with an incorrect 13A starter. They were apparently returns that came from the factory when it closed down, according to the original seller. Paul, I guess if UPS was involved then shipping would be a no no, as they are way too expensive for international shipping. David

A couple of better pictures from underneath, the outside diameter of this handle is approx 10" , approx as it's not quite round. Your tank is pretty good compared with one further up this page, even has an original decal. David

The handle is almost a complete circle, it's welded to a flat section underneath, shouldn't be too hard for someone to recreate. David

The imperial "inch" unit, the one that converts from 1 inch to 25.4mm and non of the other inch units mentioned here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch David

A bit of using online translate to French (Carbra taille haie) & I've found another here; https://www.paruvendu.fr/annonces/maison-jardin/taille-haie Here are the pictures as the link will probably stop working once it's sold. And some pictures of the Cox/Roper powered version here; https://www.motoculture-jardin.com/forum/detail.php?forumid=2&id=1759&p=1#detail David

Six months ago I couldn't have told you what either of those engines were from, the new information I acquired from @Webhead has a list with information on what most of these engines were used on. The gear should have a left hand thread for the shaft extension screw, part no. 26-9. David

According to my information the O&R Type 227 engine was used for the Warn Power Winch. David

Both your Type 150 engine & my Type 157 engine came from hedge cutters. David

Apparently the 20A333 engine is the correct engine for this Carbra hedge trimmer, the information I have states that this engine was first used in 8-27-73, which matches the date coded into the serial number. And the Carbra hedge cutters are French, which may explain why they aren't very common in the UK. David

Oddly the box that was with one of these O&R powered winches shows the outline of a Cox/Roper 140 engine on the side of the box. David

Great, thank you. My hole pattern might vary a little anyway depending on what I can come up with for a gearbox so no worries if that’s tricky to get. You should be able to work out the height for the PTO to match the compressor (with the round spacer added), the parts list for the Orline compressor frame can be found in Section 4 of the manuals sticky thread. Here is the outline drawing that covers the Model H engine, you may need to rotate the gearbox mounting holes for the plate as per the original. Close-up of the gearbox mounting details, rotate as needed. Needs remeasuring in the correct units, they wouldn't have used this metric nonsense. David

They did a range of engine with reverse position gearboxes, the 1961 info has some parts diagrams for the oldest ones. I think it might be the same casting, the spacer is where the carb would normally be and they machined the opposite side to the correct height to fit the carb. Here is a Type 157 I have with the same arrangement; David

Interesting the base plate you have seems to be identical to the one used for the O&R version, even has the two extra holes for the vertical plate that the O&R engine attaches to, see post #12 in the this thread. David

Well the bearings listed are the same for the Type 185 (chainsaw) and the early Type H, both use a pair of A-27-1 (single) bearings. The early Model H uses gears type A-62-2 (driven) & A-62-4 (pinion/clutch drum), both are still listed in the 1971 parts list. The Type 216 & 195 both use later gears of type A-62-14 (driven 66 tooth) & A-62-20 (pinion/clutch drum). There are different part numbers for the gear-case halves. The differences may be the taper & how far it the shaft sticks out once assembled, you may have to experiment and probably source or make a matching shaft extension for the taper if it needs one. David

Was your used gearbox from a chainsaw by any chance? those are the same reduction but the PTO is on the wrong side for the compressor. David

The Orline Hedge trimmers have a reduction gearbox with the same gears (66 tooth & 18 tooth), if your looking for engine types that may have been removed from these on ePay, search for types 13A183, 13A208, 13A224 and 13B259. David

Will have a look through the information I have, another one to look for is the 13B Type 295. David

Here another Devillaine Ouragan painted to look like a Lotus, unfortunately the original engine has been replaced with a Honda. http://classicmotorhub.com/showroom/1960s-devillaine-ouragan-monoplace-lotus-toy-car/ David
