    Drawings for Shaefer's Little York

    Hello, I don't know exactly how those copyright laws work, I have been trying to get in touch with Ministeam, who, I think are or were the suppliers of this casting set.

    Drawings for a Shaefer Little York

It has taken this long to identify the casting set and I now know I have a Shaefer's Little York casting set.

    Ignition

    Rick, That would be a Rumley Oil Pull, They were a well known manufacturer back in the 1920's I believe they were bought out by Allis Chalmers. That should be a water cooled engine from the looks of it, at least I can't see any cooling fins on the cylinder, and the square box on the front served...

    die filer from scrollsaw?

    Ed, There is no need to "cut up the Craftsman scroll saw. Just remove the overarm and mount your filke in the chuck. They were made for double duty when they were new. There should be a nut, about a 3/4 on the back side of the overarm that removes it.
