C-101plowerpower 548 #28 Posted April 26, 2014 that is one awesome drill john, how much power do these little engines put out? Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #29 Posted April 26, 2014 The one I have on the Turbair sprayer is rated at 1hp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #30 Posted April 27, 2014 They're rated at 3/4 to 1 HP. All the engines, except for the VERY early models, have the same bore. Other small changes gained the HP from 3/4 to 1. They are decaled at 3/4, .85 and 1 HP. The trigger on this drill does not control the speed. Engine runs at a governed 6300 rpm all the time and the trigger is the on/off switch. 2 pmackellow and neil reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #31 Posted June 10, 2014 Here's a couple of machines with O&R power spotted at Newby Hall at the weekend... 1 Wallfish reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #32 Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks for sharing! Early production red Drillgine, no speed control so it's drilling as soon as you start it. Watch out for loose clothing or it's going to hurt! Haven't seen that exact style of trimmer before. The handles are a bit more crude than the newer style so that's also an early model. Also appears the top handle can be moved to mount horizontal behind the gearbox which is something I've never seen. The link to my O&R forum posted earlier is now invalid so here's the new one in the event someone is searching for information on them. http://ohlssonandrice.forumer.com/ They "upgraded" our site and killed all the old links I had posted all over the net.

pmackellow 2,738 #33 Posted June 14, 2014 Hi Wallfish thanks for the information Sadly the owner of these two machines was not about so I could not ask any details about them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #34 Posted November 10, 2014 Recently bought this unique and rare O&R tool. Beacon Star lapidary saw used for cutting rocks or stone out in the field. It's been gone through and cleaned. 1 CNew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
