This little machine came up as part of a deal with an Ohlsson Rice powered Turbair sprayer, it fits in with the collection as I also have a 240 volt mains version of the Turbair.
Another Fox engine popped up on ebay just after I bought the Turbairs, and this arrived yesterday but wasn't unwrapped until this evening...
Nice job with that Paul. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
How does the compressor mount to the base? Or does it just hold on by the shaft?
A compressor is still on my bucket list
Thanks, it won't look too bad once it's back together
It seems to hold on by the shaft, theres no mounting holes on that side of the baseplate, but with the two bolts wound up nice and tight the unit does not seem to move
I was lucky to find the compressor, an ebay search turned it up
Ive always got wood to saw up Paul if you want to try it out.
Have you Chris, you kept that quiet
Paintwork and decals are so good I won't be touching them, will be asking Titch nicely to replicate some of the Paul Bunyan decals just to finish it off .
Yes it has Neil should look good standing next to your rj once I've painted that as well hopefully they should both be finished at the same time, it made it easier making the rj a joint project with Ian, and he's doing the vids 👍🏻
Sorry Nigel had an anal moment and corrected should to read should... if you see what I mean !
