Now the magnet core which spins inside the windings needs to be separated from the engine. First remove the bolt holding them together
I clamped the core lightly in a vice and taped the edge of the generator cover with a RUBBER mallet while holding the engine and spinning it from side to side to hit opposite sides until it came loose.
Core separated from engine

After separating the parts, I noticed that the wire insulation was dried, cracked and parts missing. This will get even worse if the components are pulled apart but they can be fixed.
Here is a better view of the cracked insulation
Using heat shrink tube, the wires were repaired and connected back together using small grey wire nuts
All back together and wires tucked down and out of the way

2 screws on the bottom are taken out to remove the generator and engine from the tank.
To separate the generator from the engine remove the 2 screws which hold the generator parts together.
First remove the band if there is one which just clips on and off. You can see the band in the first pic.
Be careful when separating the components. The winding section (middle) and the outer section with the AC plug need to be removed together since they are wired together. I used a piece of wood that was near by to tap the sections loose.

Had thiis TT 350 around for a while and decided it was time to clean her up. Took some pics through the process to show a tutorial on how to take the components apart, what to look for and how I repaired it.
Same process for the 300 model which seems to be a more common unit compared to the 350

Welcome Timm
Don't need any chicken power parts but have some saw parts. What parts are you looking for? What parts do you have?
-
The one I posted is not mine either, just a web pic but definitely thought about doing one of these myself. Shouldn't be too hard using a band saw and a Dremel cutoff tool.

Welcome to MoM
Glad to see you made it over hear too David
Thanks for sharing these.

Interesting cut away to view inside an O&R engine

This is a bulletin from the manuals concerning the carb arm adjustment. .017 - .022 inch

Welcome to the forum!
Very nice job saving another piece of O&R history. Your Power Pole has the removable powerhead to be used with other attachments. The only other one I'm aware of at this time is the outboard but hopefully we'll find others too. Some of these have a different engine mount and are only used as snow throwers. If you search "Power Pole" you can see Webhead's version is like that. You'll also find a video of mine throwing snow, they actually work very well
What all did you have to fix and/or replace?
-
Glad you made it here!
I do have a spare cover like you can see on the water pump. Just hate to cut it. The manufacturer cut the bottom off to mount them on the chainsaws since the tilt of the engine does not leave enough room for it.
The saw has been done for a while but I'm still undecided about cutting a cover to fit. I do like the finished look of the covers but doesn't look too bad without it. Here's a blow up pic of the chainsaw cover

Joe posted a display pic of the 4 Comet Tote'N Tools a while back so I put mine together for a similar pic. The drill is the same but tagged as Drillgine instead of Tote'N Tools. I've been debating on whether or not to cut a coil cover to fit the chainsaw. Maybe when it's painted I'll decide.

I don't know what would be more annoying...the bugs...or this thing running in the background Take a look at this ad from way back when (1970). The shipping costs are a good laugh.

I acquired a Comet Pump at the Dublin NH engine show this weekend. It appears to be an early unit. It has the older style coil, a round governor rod, 10mm spark plug, a blued steel air deflector and a carb with a side mounted needle. The tank is painted with the same aluminum hammertone as the Comet saw. The attached pictures show it in the "as found" condition. Haven't even dusted it off yet.

Arrived on Thursday, rebuilt engine and restored over the weekend. This is the first one of these that I had ever seen.

This strange saw uses a blade with teeth on it which are like a chainsaw. Cuts about a 3/4 inch size dado joint into lumber and is believed to be used for lumber framing. 2 passes will make a groove to fit a 2 x 4 standard US stud

I finally finished the project. Got the foot pegs added and got the engine squared away. I rode it last night. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Believe me, once was enough for someone my age!! It is fast and the steering is quick.

At the Bernardston show last Memorial Day, a friend gave me a beat up mini bicycle. At the same show I bought an iffy Chickenpower engine for $50.00. Here they are today. For reference, the tires are 8" diameter. I figured that I would take pictures before the first test drive - just in case.

These outboards could be powered by either gas or 12v electric and the power heads could also be coupled together for a gas powered 12v dc generator to charge batteries.

Here is a Brochure picture of a Little Petro minibike.It was made in the early to mid 60's by Odom Manufacturing.This is the same company that made the Petro Powered Products Drill that is on this site along with quite a few other Ohllson & Rice powered tools.Jim Odom also Produced the Comet C Saw for Comet.I will be putting pictures of my Little Petro bikes on this site soon,I need to crop them all as the file size's are too big . Only about 12 of these bikes have been located to date,quite a rare bike.
This particular Brochure shows the bike with a TAS engine,but early on,they used the Olhsson & Rice.

A near NOS Tiny Tiger in original box.
It had fuel in it at one time but must have been started, fuel emptied and then put away for 50 years since it's so clean

Similar to the C/Saw circular. The only difference is the fuel tank and handle

This item was also branded under different names
