O&R 60's?

Postby tag » Thu Jan 25, 2007 8:46 pm

I just picked up a nice looking O&R 60. Can anyone tell me how to tell what version I have? How do you tell large stack from small stack? Can you tell from the serial number? Also, any tips on what size prop?

Thanks

You need to get the Engine Collectors' Journal editions that cover the Ohlsson engines. I think they're still available from Tim McDaniel. Send me an email if you want instructions on how to contact him.

Tag, the # comes up as a 1945-46 Special , it has a small stack , early ones had a brass intake ,next ( early 1946) a nickel plated one & the late ones a aluminum one . Bulls eye mark on front ,open mount lugs & a painted cylinder . The large exhaust & 7/16" intake didn't come out until 1947 & that year is easy to tell as it was a radial mount w/ add on steel beam mounts . The following years all had beam mounts with bolt holes . Hope this helps , MAX H. :lol:

Tag, I just got back in here. I didn't receive an email from you that I could find. I'll try to find Tim's info and post it here, even tho you probably have all you need from Max. The ECJ O&R issues are real nice references to have anyway.
