Cox TD haul

WOW THATS AMAZING ! I hope you get the special running it lucks a bit rusted and clapped out .I know it couldn't be In better hands !

I been looking for Mark II parts if you want to sell it.

Nice !! Looks like you will have some cleaning time on your hands also , I like the TD in the Box that's Unique and that one with the stunt tank hooked to it is difft. That special is going to need some help to whip back into shape , but all around not bad. getback

This is what I was able to get cleaned up today. Pretty much needed plastic carb bodies on the 15's, 09's, and the .049/.051 engines. 5 of the TD .049/.051 engines are the early version with the 3 fin high compression heads, thin walled cylinders, and holes drilled on the bottom of the connecting rod for oil.

Still need some more parts for the TD .15 on the end. I need a needle, valve body and spring. Need a .09 spinner too.

Haven't looked at the Special Mk II yet or the TD .020 that needs a new tank and carb body. Another MECOA order for plastic this week.

Can probably build another TD Special .15 if I had a crankshaft and NVA.

PRETTY ! Damn if you don't have more time on your hands than me or I am using my wrong Engines take a back seat to fire wood === Looking good hope you can find the parts to repair the others . Eric

I have one NIB. Without the boxes it may be a tough sell for him.

Got the Special Mk II apart. Took some heat with the Monokote gun to get it unstuck. The exterior of the cylinder only has corrosion. The inside is good. Probably re-blue the cylinder.

As long as the crankcases are numbered, Bob B. will provide the NFFS certification on request. The boxes are another story. As pointed out in other posts, the best solution is to print your own on heavy stock.

Restoration of the TD .15 Special Mk II is complete. Here are some before and after pictures. Re-bluing of the cylinder turned out pretty good. Has excellent compression too.

Nice load! I wouldn't mind having one of those teeny tiny engines. I've never played with any engine smaller than an 049.

There's this for those with

Jason I am always impressed by our work on these little wonders...the TD .15 Special Mk II looks great!

Man that looks great it came out fabulous ! Does only the special have COX stamped on the conn. rod ? getback

Yes it does have cox stamped on the rod and it faces the rear so you see that when you take out the back plate.

I was happy the way the cold bluing kit from Birchwood Casey turned out on the cylinder. The key is cleanliness when bluing. Any finger prints or smudges will show up.

But is that stamp only on the specials ? and the bluing did come out well i have the same stuff i have used with good success got the idea from Bob up in WV. i used white vinegar soak for a couple mins. to clean off the old bluing before dipping on the new. Eric

Yes the stamp is only on the Mk II. The previous special has a round aluminum con rod.

Beautiful restore job on that Special Mk II, looks brand new!

WOW!

Thanks for the compliments. About 6 hours of work went into the Mk II to get to look good.

I was wondering how you did those engines so fast!! Took me days just to get mine apart. They look great especially the Mark.
There is nothing on the wrench that fit the collet well, what do you use. I was thinking about making my own spanner wrench.
I also forgot to look at the rods orientation on the crank (yours was COX to the rear), since the piston won't rotate that might matter.
The bore in my case has the gold worn off, the engine looks to have run a lot on that carb and muffler.
All I got done so far is polish my crank!!

The TD Special wrench fits the collet. The Mk II wrench fits the cylinder but doesn't fit the collet.
