JUST O&R 237 #1 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) The chip-a-saw is almost done just weighting on one baffle that Clint has on the way. I want to thank him for that again. Got this wards auger about a year ago and now I will clean it up and make it run again. The good thing is its all here baffles,muffler,air filter, so hopefully it wont be bad . It does need a lot of cleaning . I hope this one goes a little better then the last one. I have reached my limit on pictures cant seen to put on any more .

CNew 404 #2 Posted January 17, 2020 That auger is awesome, looks in great condition! Hopefully the baffle arrives today or tomorrow. I have a tracking number if needed. Is the gas tank metal on that thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #3 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Gas tank is aluminum I think the paint is ok I will know in the morning it will be all over the bench in little peaces .yep tank will look good Will need to paint the recoil.

CNew 404 #4 Posted January 18, 2020 That’s cool, I much prefer the metal tanks. I have an O&R ice auger that has a plastic tank. I’m leaving it since it was original to the unit but it would look better with a metal one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #5 Posted January 18, 2020 Pretty rare item but there has been few pop up. They advertise it doubles as a regular gas powered drill with a chuck added on the end shaft. Is the shaft end threaded? That's for a drill chuck Do you have the auger bit? Here's a thread for mine, it also had the recoil changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #6 Posted January 18, 2020 I have the auger bit and the end is threaded . it now in peaces all over the bench. that's a good looking auger you have there now I know ware to get parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #7 Posted January 18, 2020 That’s a really neat auger design, can’t wait to see that baby all cleaned up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #8 Posted January 18, 2020 My auger bit is aftermarket. Took a while to find a little one that looks right but I now have 2 of them. These gearboxes are filled with gear oil. I can't remember if I just used the old seals or found new ones to use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #9 Posted January 18, 2020 I will used 00 gear grease very thick so it will not leak out . just ordered a drill chuck for it so I have one . 5/8-16 chuck will fit . In my spare time I can drill holes This gear box had oil in it so just going to make a gasket and put it back together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUST O&R 237 #13 Posted January 23, 2020 Well been busy last few days. Slow and sure were getting there tank and gear case cleaned up pretty good . got the cylinder back on and working on packing plate and points now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #14 Posted January 23, 2020 That’s coming along very nicely, paint and decals are in nice shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #15 Posted January 23, 2020 By the way, I’m curious what are you all using these days for cleaning the painted pieces? That old paint seems to be really sensitive to a lot of basic cleaners. I’ve tried Simple Green and I think it might not be good for the paint, warm water and dish soap, etc. Maybe one of those milder or diluted citrus degreasers?

JUST O&R 237 #16 Posted January 23, 2020 I just used dish soap on this one most of the dirt came rite off. and your rite some of the cleaners heart the paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUST O&R 237 #17 Posted January 25, 2020 Well Clint you need to pick up the pace a little on that fan the auger is almost done just need to sandblast and paint the bit. The paint was all coming off just decided to repaint it. I can't do that today will need to wait tell next week. Did you decide what that fan was used for?? 1 factory reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #18 Posted January 25, 2020 Wow, that looks really nice, very cool! I started dismantling the fan this morning. Went pretty easily until I got to the shaft that is compression fit on the end of the crankshaft - man that thing won’t let go. I can’t rebuild that part of the engine until I can free that thing.

Wallfish 698 #21 Posted January 25, 2020 Hmmm, seems you have a plethora of new decals too! Nice job. Think my Wards also came with a white recoil cover but I thought that may have been a replacement. Not so sure now. The General 10 did have a gold cover but it was all beat up.

JUST O&R 237 #22 Posted January 25, 2020 John have you been to the mail box??? this one had a white recoil if I'm not mistaken. and yes I bought a bunch of decals. I thought i might need a few considering how many of this tings I have to rebuild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wallfish 698 #25 Posted January 25, 2020 I actually have to work for a living. 7 days a week and about 70 + hours. Just got home and still have a couple hours of quotes, emails, paperwork and phone calls.
