Roundhouse other than Rangers are rare enough here to warrant a hole or three...

I'll suggest a full blown frame off factory paint resto :music-rockon: and I would donate some correct parts ... Guess I ain't gotta worry about getting rid of those parts ... :laughing-rolling:

Seems like 702s are falling out of the sky lately.

I really hate to ask this but what are your plans for it? 

Build a waste oil burner probably.

Agreed. I just meant that's about the only RH you find here.

I have reservations on what I’ll do with it.
 

I needed another round hood like another hole in my head.  This 701 double pulley engine will be the second one I’ve come across now.  If it runs well, I may shelf it.  I’ve got a yank start K-181 that came from @wallfish last year that I’d like to put to use.  You know, one less battery I gotta maintain… although I just got two good used batteries from @Bow_Extreme a few weeks back.

 

This one is actually kind of rough.  The square seat pan has been welded up crudely, the belt guard is worked on pretty hard, the hood has been welded and has a couple funky holes in it, etc.  I haven’t checked out the steering, or transmission.  

 

There’s a boy across town who watches my YT videos pretty religiously.  He’s got a C-101 that he was pretty proud to show me.  Funny thing, his mom and Mrs. P are real good friends from school.  When I stopped by to visit him one day, it was like he was star struck :lol:  I’ve thought maybe I would find something I have and see if he wants to come work on it with me some day.  At the end of the day, send it down the road with him.  
 

This one?  Maybe Jane the Commando 6?  I don’t know.

 

"Just Do IT" we need as many young folk to learn about basic mechanics (hands on not just you-tube it) and you have to put the phone down while doing it (both hands:handgestures-thumbupright:).

I contacted his mother this morning.  She’s thrilled that I’m looking forward to helping him out.  I think I have just the machine in mind that I wouldn’t mind seeing it go down the road.  He does have a C series, but just told his dad he wants to find another one.  He also wants to start a YouTube channel, so she’s all on board with us filming ourselves working on it, and him receiving it as a surprise at the end.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

Please let me know if I can donate anything to help.
