Default New conversion projects help needed

I just picked up a box of engines in various stages of conversion. I need some help/tips on finishing them up.

#1 Sachs 51cc, 3.1 ci. It is about ready to go, but it needs some seals around the crank and a carb. I will attach pictures below. I assume I can take it to my local small engine shop and find them?

#2 Husky 5.8 I actually have 2 jugs for this one. I have 2 new pistons and rings and also another new ring in a package. One jug has a compression release, the other does not. That seems to be the only difference on the two cylinders. I need to make a mount, cut the rear shaft off, and find a carb and spacer for it. I guess I will use the cylinder without the release.

#3 Johnsored 3.7 This engine is complete less the rear bearing and seal and the wrist pin. The back shaft has already been trimmed off.

Now does anyone know anything about any of these engines?

Here is another of the Sachs 3.1 with the prop adapter removed. It needs a seal.

Here is a shot of the husky 5.8 I need to cut the rear shaft and find a carb and carb spacer for it.

Last but not least, here is the Johnsored 3.7. It needs a rear bearing and seal.

Default A possible way to get parts (and engines) real cheap...

Since you are in Tulsa, check with your local Public Works Department. In my city, they regularly auction off used chain saws, weed eaters, blowers and other lawn care items for pennies on the dollar. An aquaintance of mine did this and got three big displacement Sachs Dolmar chain saws for about $15.00 total, and they are all in excellent running order. Hope this is a lead to follow up on.

Thanks for the tip. I actually picked up the seals at a local bearing shop. The sachs is ready to run when I get the time to fire it up.
