Nope, this isn't the sunny world of NC up here so freeze'n my &uts off to go out to it wasn't a priority, Until now

I know. Glad you found us too! It helps when members contribute and share their knowledge.

Plus my wife is semi disabled and doesn't drive so I have to do all that running around too. It's not as bad as it sounds because I'm not working for someone else's dream, but I'd definitely prefer sitting around counting my money all day. If I can find and hire good people it would be closer to the desk job but everyone wants to be the vice president from day one and not work with expectations of being overpaid. So I just do it all right now

I actually have to work for a living. 7 days a week and about 70 + hours. Just got home and still have a couple hours of quotes, emails, paperwork and phone calls. I pop in here to keep an eye on you guys in between calls and emails.

I got your package but haven't sent your stuff yet. Got it boxed up and Clint's stuff too. I'll send it asap

did that shaft have a screw in it holding it to the crank? If so, screw it back in with very slight gap between the head of the screw and the end of the shaft, hold the shaft or put in a vice and strike the head of the screw with a hammer to separate it. Just guessing it's a taper fit like the flywheel but could be something else. I use a hard rubber mallet so it doesn't distort the heads or nuts being hit..

Hmmm, seems you have a plethora of new decals too! Nice job. Think my Wards also came with a white recoil cover but I thought that may have been a replacement. Not so sure now. The General 10 did have a gold cover but it was all beat up.

That thing is for blowing something. Now I see, it's made for hand held use and has a throttle speed control.

This is what happens when you forget and leave them to long That sucks! Old style body with a valve in it and using a valve to hold the primer section on too. Maybe someone needed spare valves At $100 each I'd sell all of mine. $6000 + would finance enough complete engines and then some to replace'm all. There's plenty of good shows around here. The best one is down in Colchester CT. Zagray Farm Museum. Lots to see there with many permanent displays of the museum plus all the people which bring their stuff to show, sell and display. Huge vending area with lots of stuff, free on site primitive camping right on the display field. 3 shows per year, Spring Summer and Fall. We bring vintage garden tractors to cruise around on and display with plenty of spare tractors to ride. I've displayed O&Rs there a few times but never the entire collection at once. I'd bring'm all if you guys showed up plus try and get Usedtoolman Jim to bring his stuff. That would probably make around 75 tools or more. Easily over 100 if it included just the engines without a tool. I've always wanted to go the Florida Flywheelers show so...

Not sure of this manufacturer for the carb. Maybe @Webhead knows? Here's a pic of an Octura carb.

But the tank fill neck would need to be facing the fan blade in that orientation so it doesn't empty and would be difficult to fill. Which orientation does the bracket hold the tank?

Still curious if that is actually a manhole fan. It's my understanding those fans blow air into the holes to ventilate the areas. Seems blowing in the engine exhaust would not be a good idea but maybe the amount of exhaust compared with the amount of air volume makes it minimal. Does the tank have a bracket? That would give the orientation of how it's intended to be used, either like it is in the pic or horizontal.

This was posted a while back under a Polaris Pole thread. Gets painful to watch after a while but it's worse when you're actually do'n it yourself.

Nice score! Get to work! Terry has been knocking them out recently so have to keep up.

Just happened across this thread while searching for something else. This was posted before we had the O&R section so I don't think some of the tools were ever posted in here.

Just couldn't stand seeing this sit on epay any longer and really not sure why someone didn't grab it. Price was right for one of these more rare engines with a water cooled head, glow plug conversion and the remote control carb (not sure of the manufacturer). This thing has great compression, a pretty clean pull rope and barely any residue in the exhaust manifold. It has been run but certainly not much. Think I have 2 other water cooled engines so I guess it's time to find an old school boat to power up. This one has only the top portion of the head water cooled but I like to have the recoil start anyway. The type with full head water cool can go without a flywheel and blower housing to lighten them up if preferred.

That should clean up nice. Glad you finally received it and a good addition to the collection Mine doesn't have that black blade guard on the bottom. Wonder if I could get Terry @JUST O&R the metal man to repop one for me?

Now give that skateboard a try! I see it all ready to go right there in your pic

Thanks! I'll get some baffles in the mail and Clint's vertical tank. I'll include the NOS gaskets with the tank. That material is probably the best thing we'll find anyway so I'd say it's a go.

10 ft by 3 ft is only $25. That would supply the world for a while. I'm in. Those gaskets are nice to have after opening an engine. Do you have NOS gaskets to send along to Eric? I have some if not.

My auger bit is aftermarket. Took a while to find a little one that looks right but I now have 2 of them. These gearboxes are filled with gear oil. I can't remember if I just used the old seals or found new ones to use

Instructions: Take your pants out of her pocketbook and put them on. just mess'n with ya! I have a home office upstairs so doing stuff like this isn't typically a problem. These are tiny small so it's not a problem so far. She can't stand the stink of gas and especially that old gas smell. Any solvent would be a big problem too but this citrus degreaser has opened up a whole new opportunity for me to work on stuff when I can. I don't typically ask for permission, just wait for the complaining to start and deal with then. So far so good with this stuff and she hasn't noticed a thing. Spraying them outside first works real good to dumb down the gas smell. It doesn't seem to affect the paint either so... The idiot that shipped the TT400 didn't drain the 40 year old gas out so the whole thing was covered in it from rolling around inside the bubble wrap during shipping. Can't believe the post office didn't flag it for hazardous material because the whole package stunk so bad. Sprayed it outside, gave it a quick wipe down and brought it in the house. She never noticed or said a thing and believe you me, she doesn't pass on ANY opportunity to complain! After treating that gas tank it doesn't stink anywhere near like it did before.

What's this manhole fan? Please post the link. I know David saves all of those pics for reference so I'll try and grab some Edit Never mind, found it

Pretty rare item but there has been few pop up. They advertise it doubles as a regular gas powered drill with a chuck added on the end shaft. Is the shaft end threaded? That's for a drill chuck Do you have the auger bit? Here's a thread for mine, it also had the recoil changed

No info from the seller? Once they enter the shipping info it's shows at least it was really shipped. If you see it never had ant of that info entered or it never showed it was picked up, then I would blame the seller.
