Good find even better if you can find a machine. Do you think a group of guys had a contest to see who could come up with the biggest list of things you can do with these engines?

One of my US colleagues put me onto this on the bay of e so a purchase was made...

It's been a long build but @CNew Clint lit a fire under my butt when he messaged me recently about some foot pegs. They were ordered and once they showed up it gave some incentive to work on the bike. Still have some stuff to do and think it may get another headlight since it does look better with the dual lights. Haven't cut the handle bars to add a spring so they fold. My father has a gas tank which is much closer to original if not the original type so that will go on once I get it.
Finally glad just to be able to post something as it's been a bit slow on the forum.

 

 

Couldn't resist the urge to go out and tinker again after seeing Terry @JUST O&R on that skateboard. That was great stuff and glad we finally wore you down to go out and give it a try.
So, Got'er some more friction with a big azz spring and some more tire pressure. It won't carry me up the slight incline that well but gets moving going down.  The biggest thing I noticed was my ever increasing bald spot.
The ball's in someone else's court now!
 
 

OK, went for the crazy daredevil ride of a lifetime. Check out the risky off roading over the grass!
Youtube was a pita so shortened it to copy directly. Hopefully you guys can view the video but let me know if you can't.
Just threw some stuff on it so I could ride it and thought it would be funny. Still have lots to do but doubtful I'll ride it after it's done and painted.
Now it's Terry's turn for that skateboard

Had some traction issue with the friction wheel. I'll figure out how to crank that down so it bites into the tire better. You can see it peeling the tire in the pic with all that black on the frame.
 

Since these little bikes are so rare and don't come up for sale very often, I decided to build a repop. Doubtful I would spend the money these things get even when they do show up for sale, so this is most likely the only way to add one to the collection.
 Bending the pipe looked pretty easy to begin with but I had to do quite a few just to get twins of each. Making a template and making a better bender would be much easier to reproduce exact copies but since I don't have exact dimensions except for some basic height and length, making templates is too difficult to scale the size from pics. Once I get exact dimensions of certain points from an original maybe I can make a bender and a template to achieve a more accurate reproduction. So for now it was lots of back and forth referencing pics and lots of guessing, this came out fairly close but think the seat needs to move forward. It took a few tries to get a tool made for doing the flat ends of the pipe where the wheels mount too so they look right.
 It's was being worked on for the last few weeks here and there and I stop whenever I hit a road block but get back to it later with fresh eyes and typically a new approach will work out. Got to this point today which is enough to post some pics. Think the handle bars are a bit too wide as they are but intentionally left them long since they can always be cut.
 
Banana seat caused some headaches with bending twins. The original flat seat would be much easier.

 
 
Getting ready to weld the engine support.
 

 
 
 
Threw on a recoil so it looks more O&R and set a tank on there. The O&R tank will probably stay instead of a larger original type tank
 

 
And here's what it's supposed to represent

 
 

Welcome, you just need a little patience to find a suitable O&R engine, one with a reduction gearbox output of 1700RPM or less and a clutch fitted, Model H or Type 195 would be good, but for some unknown reason the 900RPM Model J is far easier to find (maybe lots of never started or completed mini-bike projects ).
 
You may also find the Speedy Sprayer compressor needs servicing, they have a rubber diaphragm, I don't know what the filter is made from but it would be a good idea to replace it if it's aged badly & gone crumbly like the O&R air filters do.
Here is an exploded parts drawing of one of the Speedy Sprayers from another forum:

Now in its display box which arrived today...
 
 
 

There was another link to a Warn blog post with the adverts for the Warn winch in this thread here;
Interesting that the boxed one shows a Cox engine instead of the O&R, I bet they hadn't noticed that.

This may have been posted but I didn’t seen it. Here’s some info on the O&R Warn winch.

I got this one running today. Was in the barn at my homestead when I bought the place. Its 9 degrees out today so a inside bench project was perfect. Anyone have any info?

You just can’t help yourself can you Paul 😂

Oops, seem to have bought another one...
 
I think this is a model 19.

I still need to finish putting the cutoff saw back together.  My break from the saw has been prolonged and I’ve been fixing up a vintage Raleigh Twenty 20” folding bicycle.  Picked up this cool O&R Keene pump from a local guy that does gold prospecting as a hobby.  
 
 

And another recently arrived O&R fuels advert now on display...

This advert for the smaller aero engines arrived today all the way from the USA
 
Now framed and with the display...
 
 


 

Here are some photos of the TAS P7 ice auger, it cleaned up pretty well. I had to replace the kill switch and make a new carb diaphragm and gasket, replaced the fuel and vent lines and the spark plug and it fired right up.

A new addition to my collection is this TAS drill which was a Christmas present, the engine is a TAS motor P7 but the starter looks a little different from the other two drills on here, possibly a later version?

Wow! That is a super cool advertisement, nice find!
