Simplicity VC Tractor Repair and Start up- Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.พ. 2021
- Back at it with another Simplicity walk behind. Had this one setting up in the woods for a couple years now. Time to get it up and running in time for spring...
Nothing finer than the sound of a big block Briggs at low idle just doing its thing. Don't need a lot of RPM unless you're running a snowblower or tiller. Has insane torque with the dual range transmission and doesn't even struggle with a load on it.
Good to see ya back! Cant wait to see the old girl dig up your garden!
I tell ya I'm back! Even made a list of tractors and engines slated for videos the other day... now to work my way down that list, that's the real test!
Good one Jake, looking forward to part 2, thanks
Thanks Mule
@@5Tractorguy, just stumbled upon your channel. Love it! Do you happen to have the model number and even a parts breakdown of the tiller? I bought the same one and can't find anything about it!
Sure have missed these repair videos Jake, thanks for this...great content ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Appreciate it trackdog! More to follow...
instablaster.
Love your work. I'm a retired mechanic that has taken on the small engine hobby full bore and now have 4 old cast iron Briggs. They are a bit different and the Magna matic coil setup is something I have yet to fully educate myself on I found a special piece yesterday. It is a Power Trac with a 23B Briggs. It has a sickle bar on front and a plow implement. I love scrounging this stuff up on road trips. Thanx for the pointers.
Sounds like she runs great! Great video as usual Jake! I hope to have a new video up next week, planning on a shop tour video once I get my shop cleaned up a bit.
Appreciate it Will! Ah, it's a never ending battle keeping the shop clean, that's for sure... I'll be looking for it.
I love watching your vids, makes me really anxious to get back out to the garage and start tinkering! I picked up some new toys and I will have a vid up tonight
Tell ya what, them tractors won't fix themselves! The 127 twins look pretty good, especially the original one. Tough finding a dashboard and steering wheel that look that good now. Sears is nice too, most of the blue SS's I see around here are pretty ragged.
@@5Tractorguy thank you! You are so right there! So many projects here its crazy. I have about 8 tractor projects going on at once! Too many to keep a guy sane
Nice to have you back!!!
Thanks Larry!
Wonderful, can smell the fresh tilled ground.
Springs on the way!
Nice to se you back Jake 👍
Thanks!
Soak in while vinegar for two days. Fill completely up to the jtop. After two days take water pressure to clean. The crud and junk will was out. After wash get a small magnet on an extension to pick up any rust flakes hanging out in the corners of tank. Air dry for day. Put the new tank to work.
Ahoj rád koukám na Tvé videa jseš šikovnej držím palce při dalších opravách .
Glad to see you making repair videos again jake. Been a long winter
You're telling me! February seems like it was twice as long as it should've been... Springs on the way though.
@@5Tractorguy yep can’t come quick enough. I have a few projects I’d like to get done. Maybe even start making videos idk. Keep up the good work I enjoy watching your videos.
That’s awesome really cool to see
Can't wait to see that tiller spin 😁👍👍🇺🇸
All in due time Jimmy...
Great to see another one of these videos again Jake! Glad you could make a little time in your busy schedule to record a couple! Yea we all have those moments like you had with the engine being stuck. Not going to lie, I've had worse! Probably wasn't a bad thing to pull it apart and clean stuff up though. With all my engines I actually completely disassemble them and check everything over before attempting to run them. You just never know what you are going to find lol! You should have seen the gas that came out of the 1941 Briggs Model I military engine I just revamped! Stuff was probably an easy 30 years old and stunk like hell! (It was actually orange or red in color too lol!) Luckily, there wasn't much of it and the tank wasn't too bad. I used some old gas with a bunch of nuts and bolts which I shook around like crazy for a few minutes to clean it, but I really like the pressure washer idea! Definitely going to use that in the future! That tractor is a really neat piece! It would be cool to see some of the other implements you have at some point too. I'm pretty curious what the snow blower attachment looks like and how well it works. Definitely looking forward to part 2 and seeing it up and going again! : )
Hopefully have more videos to follow after this Simplicity too! Man that old shellac gas with do you in every time. Unbelievable how potent that stuff is too. The smell sticks around forever if you spill it. Oddly enough, this came with 2 snow blowers are 3 tiller attachments when I bough it... can't say I'll ever use that many, but hey, couldn't pass it up!
Sweet sounding machine
Cool little tractor. I've never seen one set up with a tiller like that
Seems like most always have a pull behind cultivator of some sort. Looks pretty neat with the tiller attachment though.
Awesome simplicity. I have one but with a Clinton A1200. I’ve had a mouse nest make an engine seem stuck.
Just Subscribed. I just bought one with a breaking plow. paid $75. Filed the points and got it making spark. and pulled the start rope and it started and ran for about 15 seconds and the rod came apart . So I suppose I will install a Kohler 8 hp engine we have on it.
Sounds good! Cant beat them old craftsman torque wrenches!
That's a good torque wrench too!
Very neat looking rig
'Tis, Simplicity's were pretty cool machines.
I have one of these my Dad bought back in the 1950s. It came with an abysmally underpowered Clinton engine Dad replaced with a B&S. It had a cultivator, spade point and sickle mower. Dad stole the front wheel weights off the International A to give it some traction after adding the Briggs. I built a moldboard plow for it and broke ground for a garden.
Nice! watched to get an idea of how the tiller mounts up on my vc. Guess I'm not missing anything, looks like I'm ready to till!
I have one, it is one of 12 walk behinds in my collection.
Yes another video
Dad owned a similar type garden tractor called a Dandy Boy Clipper,we used it to plow snow with, think the B&S engine on it was something like 2 or 2.5 hp, last time we used it the rings were worn and it would blow the cutest blue smoke rings,after Dad passed away Mom gave it away.
Love the Ernest P. Worrell reference lol
The inspiration for my sense of humor lol
Cant wait for #2 I've got one I'm fixing myself
May be waiting a while longer yet for part 2 unfortunately... bit short on time for tractor projects this spring.
Happy to see another video!
More to come!
@@5Tractorguy so exited , your one of my favorite TH-camrs and your content is amazing!!!
My grandad had one of these. would till the garden for grandma ..good times!! love your show.. any luck finding a property ??
Nothing solid yet. Was looking at some commercial property in NH last weekend. Old hardware store/small engine repair place. Unfortunately it's in a bad state of disrepair... but, I left with a truckload of Kohler and Gravely parts! So the search continues...
@@5Tractorguy Don't loose hope.. be patient something will show up..
Just works
Awesome was wondering when u was going to put up a new video thank u
Your welcome Ray. More to follow...
A friend of mine was able to pick up one of those tiller attachments for my simplicity. Not sure if a model L-1 is too small for that tiller or not.... It has a Honda GC160 on it and not the original Briggs so the tiller should work. Also hearing that run makes me want to get my Co-op black hawk walk behind out and use it for plowing the garden the spring.
Those L1's are small rigs. Though since it has that Honda now it should power that tiller just fine. I just looked up those Black Hawks (never seen one), thing looks like a cross between a Simplicity and a David Bradley with the handlebar and chassis design.
@@5Tractorguy they do look like a cross of the two but bigger. The Blackhawk dwarfs my simplicity. They were made by cockshutt and sold by co-op but were also available under a different name. Not many available and I got mine fir a song with its plow and cultivator. Has a cast iron Briggs on it with a stuck valve so that may end up being this springs project, axle bearings are gone in it so not a simple get engine run and change fluids kind of fix unfortunately.
Looks like you finally got the chance to let the 5-string cool off a bit and get greasy fingered instead of building callouses but that would be on the flat top. And don't worry about the frozen/non-frozen motor. Being multi-instrumental you're entitled. And all those C U T E goyls at the pickings and gigs don't hurt. Good running old Briggs. Wished they were still made like this. So keep after it and GBWYall!
That 'ol 5 string is down right chilly by now. Been hanging on the wall while the 6 string is hogging all the attention this winter! Bluegrass goyls? Say, them's my kinda women... Good hearing from ya as always Lewie!
@@5Tractorguy Carry on, Jake. I always wanted to learn clawhammer but the hands and everything quit before I could. The 6-string did me good though. Carry on and continue to make me and the Tarheel Uncle proud! GBWYou!
I have a 23d Briggs
Hey Jake, hope all is well
Howdy Six, all's well here!
Huzzah! Looking good! I too have a long screwdriver ground narrow to unscrew the jets on carburators. Any progress finding a property? Still saving up?
They are handy, sure beats stripping them out! Saving up is complete, just need the property now! Was looking at some stuff in NH last weekend. Unfortunately buildings were in a bad state of disrepair. So, the search continues...
@@5Tractorguy If the buildings were bad, then you should be able to negotiate for a better price. You know you could make videos of fixing up your new place if it needs work. Hint hint. 🤔
Nice looking tiller any idea how old it is? I did a quick online search for these and they looked like it had multiple attachments, if you have time please give a perusal in part two.
If I had to make a guess... '59? Judging by the casting date in the B&S flywheel... I do have an old sales book for these. Maybe I'll run over that in part 2 just for kicks.
I have the same engine from 1966 it’s in a Dayton generator I rebuilt the carb last year and it ran great I didn’t even have to clean the points but unfortunately the tank has a lot of rust and crap again the only reason I keep it is because it was from family they purchased it new
Go figure! Is it one of the blue Dayton generators? I just picked one of those up from an estate yesterday... Regardless of the rusty tank, it is neat having old family equipment like that.
@@5Tractorguy it’s green.
cool little setup there but at 3:44 looks like a mice tell behind the flywheel
Ha! Good eye! You're right, there was two back there when I popped the flywheel off, one escaped and the other met with the bottom of my boot... can't stand them things.
Can I see the belt engagement how it works I have one n broke I can't figure out...thanks you
Old school
What radio station/stream is that playing in the background? Good sounding work music!
That was either the Deer Creek Boys or Cadillac Sky radio station on Pandora radio. Can't beat bluegrass!
torque even the gas tank bolts without the gas tank
Do you happen to know where I can purchase the glass globe under the gas tank? Mine is cracked
Hi Jack
Have you had that Cub cadet and Jacobsen?
Cubs I've had since last summer, at least the 1650 and 104 I have... Jacobsen's were picked up in November.
👍
Thanks!
@@5Tractorguy какой бензин применяется у этих двигателей. Актановое число бензина?
@@user-yd2md4fp8v Эти двигатели работают с октановым числом 87.
@@5Tractorguy 👌👍
Is that the machine and attachments that I traded you for the 9hp Briggs, Jake? Sure looks familiar, especially the dent in the tank!
That be the one Bill! I sold off the smaller walk behind, but still have the VC and a good portion of the attachments.
I find it amazing that people would rather have shiny plastic over a proven well built machine . The older machines are built to last , the new ones are not designed with longevity in mined . you have to maintain any machine and the older ones are usually not any more work .
Beats me, new stuff isn't getting any better either either... Slowly people are figuring out it's worth investing into an older machine than buy new (at least the guys that actually work their equipment). Because what are you going to buy that'll mach the quality? Never mind the price of new too...
On a sqier track tour
What does firing HARD mean? New term to me.
Firing hard would be in relation to ignition timing. So the spark would happen closer to top dead center or in some cases, after. The more retarded a spark is in relation to TDC at higher RPM's, the "easier" and engine will fire. Tough to explain without having an engine to demonstrate on...
@@5Tractorguy Thank you. I understand what is is now , clearly. Follow up is what does it sound like so you know it is firing hard?
hola amigo estoy buscando una maquina de esa para comprar por favor ayúdeme tengo una finquita y es muy importante para mi suerte en sus proyectos
Hola Miguel. Dependiendo de su ubicación, consulte su local para listados de venta, craigslist, facebook. Si no se encuentra en los EE. UU., Es posible que alguien le envíe uno, aunque el costo puede ser elevado.
@@5Tractorguy muchas gracias por su buenas intenciones
