Default Something for the die hard COX collector.

During a search for COX parts on e B a y, I came across this item.

[link=http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34054&item=5913733880]Vintage COX 140 CHAINSAW LARGE Airplane Engine?[/link]

I knew COX made these at one time, but I've never seen one.

Could you imagine flying some giant plane and someone asks "What engine is in that?" to which the pilot replies "It's a COX."

If I remember right it's called the "Beaver". The engine maker Fox made engines for bikes at one time.

Later,

Neat engine but the glowhead weighs 4 pounds and costs $150.00 now....has to have a 12 volt truck battery to light it.

Oh yeah, the rod reset tool is 2 feet long and you hit it with a 10 pound sledge hammer.

That looks like the bike engine they made in the early 70s.
