Won this one on ebay. $31.05
G300, Deutscher G26, despite how it looks it is sound.
Came from down by the sea, that might explain the rust in the deck.
Tried to start the motor to no avail, then i looked today and the kill switch is wired up to the pannel, might have to give it another shot tomorrow.



These other two F26's,
one i was given by a mate, had a G65 with it missing starter and belt pulleys and the cover for the belts. I bought the Briggs for $50 but never went any further.



The other i bought for my dad with the GX340 honda for $300.





Im thinking G300 off, GX340 on the G26
And fix up one of the F26's perhaps with the G300.
Ive since turned up another G65 with a starter but minus tank and it looks to have the Deutscher pulleys on it. Cost me $10. Got a few G65's and bit here now which is good seeing as thats what my Greenfields Super8 and old red use.

G26 is much better than the F26 option. Im also thinking the G26 is a better option than the Greenfiled.
Watch this space.
More pics of the G26 later, im going to strip it right down and fix the deck and paint it. Need to chase up some tyres.

That wire was bypassing the cowl switch.
Uplugged the wire and off it went first pull. After a few seconds settled into a typical honda purr. Well more a growl seeing as the muffler has fallen off.
Gearbox works fine, just needs tyres.

Bargain of the century.
