Just about done...
 

Welcome to the forum.
 
Don't throw the original bottles away, these machines which are still being made & used (with a different shape bottle) are often sold without the bottle. Yes many of the old pesticides are now banned, such as DDT & Zineb (not in all countries though when I checked), but some are still available such as certain types of Acaricide & Malathion, I haven't checked all of the list in the brochure above.
 
If the contents are not wanted they could be transferred (wear gloves as the concentrated chemicals are probably harmful) into a modern bottle, labelled and disposed of properly.
Though some people working at waste/recycling centres haven't a clue what to do with chemicals, I took a jar of chemicals to my local waste/recycling centre & when asked where to dispose of it, he took it off me and threw it in the bottle bank with the contents.
 
Anyone reading this should check for current info on the chemicals to find out if they are banned or restricted and how harmful they are.

Here is my Petro Chug-A-Pump that I bought last year from the US.

Bit more progress...
 

Found a better picture of the Paul Bunyan decal, from the Chainsaw Collectors forum, thread linked below;
http://www.chainsawcollectors.se/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=12848

 
Looks like some had this decal instead, another poor quality picture saved from ePay.

 
Here are some pictures of a yellow Chip-A-Saw that sold recently.

New arrival this afternoon, many thanks to David (factory)
 
It's cleaned up really well, off to see John Cruse at the Mower Centre tomorrow for a chain
 
 
 

Is the Military green O&R this one ?
 

If it is it's almost certainly a type 133 engine (that I mentioned in post 6) presumably sold as military surplus at some point, looks like a previous owner thought about using it for a model boat. The page with it is not a marine manual, it's a printout of the Octura ad that is on another website (I can't remember where it's from but I have it saved too).
 
You should send Wallfish pictures of the crankshafts needed for your Tiny Tiger, as there are different types depending on the age of the engine.
If you edit any pictures to reduce the file size you will be able to post a few pictures on this forum.

Hopefully the attached pdf I have created of the parts list/diagram & operating instructions will be useful in rebuilding the compressor set.

Its arrived !! 
 
The unit fits on the engine, just need to modify the base plate so it all drops on nicely...
 
 
 
 

See this thread for some pictures of the other Chip-A-Saw.

Here are some pictures of the Paul Bunyan & Chip-A-Saw chainsaws, pictures saved from ebay.
 
David

I imported a pair of these chainsaws a few years ago, but as the original decals are long gone I'm not sure if they are Paul Bunyon saws or not. Here are some pictures of one of them.
 

 
I have since seen this saw branded as both Paul Bunyan (spelling is correct) and the Chip-A-Saw, here are the decals from those. Does anyone know which is correct?

The 13B252 engine/carb diagram & 13A starter instructions have already been uploaded as PDF's in the engine diagram & manuals thread I started here:
The 13B252 engine is the type fitted to the Webb Little Wonder hedge-trimmer I have, I suspect my short Little Wonder hedge-trimmer would be the same type, but someone pinched the cylinder plate with the serial/type details. The starter repair instructions appear to have been supplied with a starter cord repair kit for some tools over here.
 
I have some other engine diagram scans still to upload there.

Similar adverts from a 1967 catalogue from my collection...
 

I guess the repair shop that originally had that manual, must have been one that actually paid the yearly upkeep charge.
 
Here are some pictures of the O&R tools in a garden equipment catalogue from 1967.

According to a post on this site;
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/32713-a-pony-express-bicycle-engine
Advanced Engine Products went out of business shorty after changing the name of the bicycle engine from Chicken Power to Pony Express. Note the change of address in Webhead's Pony Express brochure from Los Angeles, California to Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
 
There was a TV ad for the Chicken Power bicycle engine, it can be found on youtube here;

Here is an ad for the Pony Express bicycle engine from Popular Mechanics magazine May 1978 that was scanned by google.

There are more pictures of pmackellow's Tarpen Mini Engine powerhead & Tarpen Flex rotary cultivator in this O&R thread that was created before the O&R forum moved here;
I don't think there are many Tarpen Mini engines about as they offered many adaptors to power the Tarpen Flex range from mowers, tractors and other machinery.

Thought I'd start a lit thread. Here are some of mine. Lot's more where these came from...
 

Lovely Little Wonder brochure arrived from the US today
 
Amongst the products it lists this power head, very similar idea to the Tarpen unit that's part of my collection...
 
 

Have you checked if it's the piston/cylinder or the starter mechanism that's the cause of it being seized.
I had one of those later style starters with the starter reel seized due to corrosion, I never managed to un-seize it and noticed a couple the thin alloy sections of the housing were cracked, so ended up buying a replacement from Webhead.

It's a Whitney Simplex gas engine made to the Bathe design, dates to around 1908 to 1910 and was made in London.
Can you take a picture of the underside of the cylinder so we can see if the valve gear is still there. The value without the valve gear would be somewhere in the region of £400 to £450, with the valve gear about £750, but this depends on the mechanical condition, which is difficult to assess from photographs.
There is a article on Bathe engines in the Stationary Engine Magazine, August & September 2016 issues.
 
Here is a nice picture of the ad from 1908, £5 in 1908 is around £500 today.

 
David

That is almost certainly a Universal Motor Company two stroke engine made in Derby, available in sizes of 1/2 & 3/4HP and thought to have been produced into the 1930's.
 
Please note the value depends on condition and is not necessarily the maximum quoted.

Definitely the only fairly complete one I've seen with the later starter, I do have the engine from one in my collection, it also has the mesh debris screen. Never seen one fitted to anything else though, must be something Turbair added.
 

 
David

It's a complete mystery what this engine with "Mark V" decal came from.
