Socially distanced collective sale at Ardingly this morning
 
One or two interesting items...
 
 



















 
 

I have one of the later Echo engine versions with a 42" cut. Be interesting to see the O&R powering a blade that long

Won this on ebay, arrived during this week
 
Its a shorter blade length than the two I already have so £12.50 well spent !
 
 

Wow, nice find Paul!  That was a steal at that price.

I've never ever heard of these lawn mowers ever, I found this in a garage clearance, it looks very clean, trying to see how much they sell for as I cannot find one on ebay, anyone on here that could give me a rough estimate, I would be grateful thanks 

Hi everyone
long time no see!
just thought I’d post regarding my latest find completely original and unmolested😀
unusually it has solid front tyres ?? 
 
 

Finally had the chance to add one of these to the collection.  It’s too bad it’s missing the circular handle but it’s still super cool. The tank is pretty dinged up and it’s been used over it’s life. Overall it’s in ok condition, can’t be choosers... They seem to come up so rarely that I figured I better jump while I could. I missed out on one of these on eBay a couple years ago that was in incredible shape and went for a bargain. At that time I had only been collecting for a couple months and had no idea how rare they were.  
 
If anyone comes across an extra handle, please let me know and I’d gladly buy it.  Or, if someone has a good way to replicate one I would consider that too.
 

Very sorry David, I won't do it again !  
 
 
 

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.

In case anyone is curious what the inside of one of these compressors looks like.  The diaphragm on this one is slightly deformed in one spot. It’s surprisingly pliable and looks like it should work ok if air doesn’t leak past the deformed area.  I might try to make a new one or I might just leave it, not like this thing will get a lot of use.
 

Excellent - thank you!

Paul has some good detailed pics on pg1. It's an everyday O&R 1/2" shaft.
Looking at the pics, it might be a problem to use that chainsaw box unless you're willing to rotate the engine to raise the shaft. Take a good look at it and line it up to see if it works. If you still want the gear it's yours.
At least the whole thing didn't break off. Should be an easy fix

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.

I’ll give this thing a good look tonight or this weekend now that the compressor unit is here and I can see how things line up, or don’t. I appreciate the offer on the gear and will let you know if it looks like the chainsaw gearbox might be a good option.

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

Interesting, wonder if they made this as more of a universal base to allow for different power setups.  I forget what type of electric motor was on this particular one.  It saved another $25 off the shipping by removing it.
 
I’ll also have to make the mounting plate that the gearbox attaches to.

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

Here’s my version. Pretty much unused. 

Just about done...
 

Hi guys 
Got this a while ago got it running fixed the oil leak. Undecided westher to leave it or fully restore it. I understand it's only a Westwood but it's my second Westwood my other been a w8 and there's something about them I like. 

As the ePay link is now dead, here are some pictures from that listing, it was for the remains of two of these cars, some parts had been repaired and a couple of the pictures clearly showed a lot of the parts used for these.
