    Had a Green Machine that I bought new in the 80's...perhaps a model up from yours as it was a trimmer and had a scary brush cutting blade. Got to the point where I could no longer repair it and gave it away a year ago to someone who was trying to repair a similar machine. Great machine and years of trouble free use. Replaced it with an old Red Max that I pulled out of a dumpster...new carb and it runs like a champ. Love the old machines.

    I definitely would. I have got an 1960s mac 10-10 chainsaw that l rebuilt, modified the cylinder, blew it up, and now am in the process of getting parts to rebuild it again. Yeah the money involved in this saw was already more than its worth before l blew it up. So as far as money is concerned l have lost. But l like the challenge of fixing and using something more than twice my age. And once it is fixed l will have learned a lot, and that makes it worth it to me.

    The engine was made by Shindaiwa, it was known as a T-25. The T-25 had two carbs, one like in the video, and a "piston type" which was more dominant. HMC/Green Machine (we sold them for years) used various from Shindaiwa, McCulloch (the Echo clone), Mitsubishi, and Fuji-Robin. We sold the Shindaiwa, McCullock, & Echo. Great machines. HMC's split boom was the grand daddy of the current split boom trimmers like from Ryobi. Believe it or not, the HMC Green Machine with the McCulloch engine was a great machine, and solid performer. We old OPE guys have a wish list, I'd love to see the McCulloch engine make a come back.

    Fixing and using an old piece of equipment , particularly one I picked up for little or no money is for me one of the greatest pleasures of this hobby and as you rightly say materials and build quality are often superior. Manufacturers are driven by profit and so will try to sell you this seasons must have product which in reality is very often inferior to the old stuff.

    I love working on old engines and machines. I have learned most can be brought back to life. Yes parts are hard to come by but my experience shows me that older machine parts just need to be cleaned or tweaked for life again. Newer machines are mostly throw away when they break. Oh heck everything going to batteries now. A new learning curve is around the corner!😢

    Hit the nail on the head HG working on newer machines can be boring that is why I am glad I take in a few flips here and there . Chasing a wire on a riding mower with its safety switch’s to get it to turn over then working on the engine to get it to start all adds up to a satisfaction of accomplishment that roll’s over to fixing a customers machine. Also if I can get a say a rider mower a new lease on life and sell it to someone who need’s a rider but does not want to spend thousands of dollars to have one that feels great also . But truth be told I am a troubleshooter at heart and have amazing patience which helps

    The older I get , the smarter I become, especially from watching videos like yours. Good content and very professional. A couple of folks who know me bring me "projects" to fix / restore. I usually don't mind since it is a challenge and if I can't fix it, it is at minimal a LEARNING EXPERIENCE. If I do fix it, I may personally use the object, keep it as a spare , or sell it at a garage sale. Some "junk " gets dis-mantled and usually recycled. It is all better for our environment and future.

Starts first pull and runs great but is much heavier than newer trimmers. Weight is one benefit of plastic. Manufacturing cost is another. Third is design flexability. I like the newer stuff.

    Ran into a similar issue on an old Green Machine backpack blower. The throttle cable was damaged, and took me hours to find even a parts list. Then it took me awhile until I found a NOS cable on ebay for it. Carb kit and cable, and it ran amazing. Unfortunately, it didn't even last a season for the buyer. It lost spark, and I couldn't find a coil for it - turned out it had a dual coil type setup? Something I'd never seen before, and knew that even if I could find the parts it would well exceed the cost of getting a smaller Husqvarna or Echo blower. This unit was old enough it didn't have a kill switch, rather the throttle went to an "off" speed and the engine would shut off.

I wonder if it was some type of booster or replicator to help the spark travel the length of the coil. A shame too, that engine still had 125psi in compression to it so probably many years of life if a coil was easy to find.

    Being a blacksmith, I really don't have much choice. It's in the blood. 😃 For the most part, I've found that old tools are simply better in form and function. Interestingly, folks don't realize that the Scythe is actually faster, easier, and more economical than the motorized contraptions. We've been raised to think the opposite not because it's true, but because we turned our backs on the old ways, and it only takes one generation for the knowledge to be lost. Nowadays, someone will pick up an old crusty scythe at the flea market, give it a few swings, and decree it antiquated, at best, rather than think it's just an old tool that's not set to their height/reach and sharpened properly. There's something of a Renaissance in Scything, and it's fun to watch folks' eyes light up as they see that they can manage their yards easily and quickly, with all the nimbleness of the weed whacker and none of the noise or weight.
    When it comes to refurbishing small engines, I wish I was as handy as you. I've got two push mowers that could go to a good home, and my grandfather's wood chipper that needs rebuilt..... but I have two left thumbs when it comes to this stuff and there are no small engine repair guys around these parts anymore. I hate to buy new stuff that I know will fall apart sooner rather than later, but it's a tough call when getting things repaired and refurbished is far more expensive than just buying something new to replace it. I guess that's why the scythe appeals so much. The blades will last a lifetime, and even the wooden handle can be made from about any decent sapling you happen across.

    Обычно люди восстанавливают классические автомобили, предметы искусства, но и инструменты, в том числе садовая техника, должны быть сохранены для истории. Если никто не позаботится об этом, то всё это исчезнет без следа...

    To answer your question: ALL the machines I fix for myself are older than I am, by a minimum of 6 years. Generally I draw the line between 1989 and 1990 of what I find interesting to add to my collection of power equipment or not.

    and the plastic rots with raw sunlight so its more prone to damage then metal. if you take care of metal and not make it rust then its a good thing plastic? you need to use some sort of body damaging chemicals to take care of it so it might slowly cause health issues overtime.

    yup.plastic is good stuff but the problem with that is it will melt or break overtime and might hurt you or someone else.

    It is sad that new units have become disposable. But that is what we get for having mass produced cheap items. At some point the cost of repair is more than buying a new device so we just throw it away.

    Please don't take this wrong but nice Typewriters are also in the same position. Tube TV's 480p, I guess my point is, is that we evolve, that evolution is not always liked at first. That evolution generally is for the rich at first but then becomes part of norm for the average person. We are evolving away from the internal combustion engine. Actually the sooner we can do it and ramp up better battery tech the better. I would like to see more and more of those processies happen here in the U.S. Spending money on all types of infrastructure including but not limited to manufacturing is a Win Win. Throw the wealth of the country at advancement before others do. Other will. Stay way ahead.

    • @HomeGaragechannel
      @HomeGaragechannel  ปีที่แล้ว

      I was with you for a bit, until you said "Win Win". Batteries are dirty to make, and we Destroy the land and the cultures in those areas to make them. Oh and the power we make to fill those batteries, still come from fossil fuels. I was going to make a video about this And don't know how it's going to go, but it's not going to be very flattering for the battery folks. As a person is all for EV's, I've never lost sight, that this isn't for my good, but for someone else, who's making money, trying to push for this "evolution"

    • @curiosity2314
      @curiosity2314 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@HomeGaragechannel Thanks, and yes the reason I mentioned a win was that as time passes battery tech now that we are really engaging it will eventually get better and much cleaner maybe to the point where there is no pollution other then the manufacturing aspect. Lithium batteries replacement is out this year and that is just the start really. Batteries with a 1000 mile charge are still a couple of years out but they are on the horizon. I have to imagine even batteries that can store what power stations produce are already being thought of. So much waste in what we cannot use on demand. It all rely on better battery technology but it's on the way. Think about Nicad, they were absolutely junk. One year at a time, heck I'm still hoping for Warp engines! 😇
