Are parts still available for a W.Olds and son boat motor?

Question

I am currently using this motor to drive a mobile crane, when and if it dies i am concerned I may not get parts, might be better to sell it while its running and throw in a common motor.

Answer 1

I'm familiar with R. E. Olds.  That's the company known as REO and manufactured trucks up until 1975.  If that's who you are thinking of you can Google it for parts.

Ransom Olds manufactured and sold his first cars in 1897.  He created the first assembly line. mass produced car, 1901 to 1904.   The Oldsmobile motor car company was purchased by GM in 1908
