pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted June 1, 2015 Just won a Webb Little Wonder hedge trimmer on the bay Its got an O&R engine in it, looks a bit sad but probably saveable Will be picking it up on our way home from our holiday in Yorkshire on June 13th so will post some photos of it then 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #2 Posted June 1, 2015 Yours looks like a Little Wonder version to me, the Webb ones are relabelled with a UK address on the sticker as shown below on mine. Unfortunately its very faded so I can't read all of it: Webb Lawnmowers Ltd and the address should be Tame Road, Witton, Birmingham. The logo is the same as this from a lawnmower booklet. I also have a Little Wonder version with the later 13B engine. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #3 Posted June 1, 2015 I thought I had already posted pictures of mine, but they must have been on the old forum. The Webb Hedgetrimmer 30" version Little Wonder 16" version Are you able to change the thread title to include Webb & Little Wonder hedgetrimmers? I have the manuals for these and will upload them as PDF's when I get a chance. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #7 Posted June 15, 2015 Nice Score! Thanks, I'm rather pleased with it, it will go well with my other O&R powered machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #8 Posted June 15, 2015 Just dug this out from John's stash. Have been trying to see what the engine was for years, but buried too deep. Now I know. A hand push sprayer with the engine driving a small pump. The two spray arms rotate to the horizontal position. Looks complete apart from a petrol tank. I have now removed the engine for a clean up and a better look when time allows. 3 Wallfish, nigel and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #9 Posted June 15, 2015 The whole unit look's like a good project there Alan. I like the look of those little engines . Hypro Pumps are still around, so may be able to get parts still?. Maybe a Yellow Sprayer Challenge !! 1 Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #10 Posted June 16, 2015 I did think that too Richard. Not having room at home for the whole unit, I had thought of the engine and pump as a stand alone project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #11 Posted June 16, 2015 What a VERY unique and rare tool. Please keep the tool intact! Maybe one of the O&R guys over there will trade for a good engine and pump. If they don't, I would be willing to trade some O&R tools for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #12 Posted June 16, 2015 That's very nice Alan would not mind that machine myself (the whole lot) Have sent you a private message Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A hand push sprayer with the engine driving a small pump. The two spray arms rotate to the horizontal position. Looks complete apart from a petrol tank. It does have the petrol tank, the base under the engine is the tank. I agree keep it together, there can't be many of these left due to its size, its certainly the first O&R with a pump that I've seen in the UK, the pump I have was bought from the US.

Alan 1,273 #14 Posted June 16, 2015 OK guy's, That's settled then. I'll bolt the engine back onto the frame and store it in John's shed for now. As said, I don't have room at home for it, so happy to pass it on to a good home. As Paul has shown an interest, and I think Richard too, maybe they could agree who is the winner between themselves. I'll stand back while the fight takes place. I thought it strange that there was no petrol tank, or obvious mounting points for it, but never imagined that it was in the base of the engine. Not had time for a good look yet. Alan.` 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Paul will soon have another toy to play with. No problem Alan. Got my 'Fingers Burnt' on this current project and need more time to sort it. May stick to small stuff that fits on the Dining Table for a while . I'm sure Paul will have a 'Niche' for it and get it working 2 pmackellow and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
