Wow- what an incredible collection! What is the yellow cart with a bicycle wheel and a bucket used for, is that some sort of insecticide sprayer?  Awesome- wish I could attend a show like this, I would stand there staring for hours.

The Allman sprayer is second largest machine we know of to be fitted with the O&R engine, Paul did a superb job of restoring it, have a look at the before & after pictures in this thread (starting at post #8);

It may even be the last one left, unless anyone knows of another one out there.

WOW!  I hadn’t seen the before and after photos- thanks for the link. That is a superb restoration, that’s very impressive- nice job Paul!  That’s a pretty cool machine and application for the O&R engine. It never ceases to amaze me all the cool stuff that used these engines.

 

So what is the largest known use?

The largest known machine is a Gyrocoptor, the O&R being used for the pre-rotator engine used for starting the main rotor blades on some Bensen B8M Gyrocopters, note that the 4 cylinder McCulloch engine is used for the propeller on the back;
