1972 #106 1000cc ironhead sportster bike rebuild repair street tracker harley by tatro machine
here we go again. the customer just wants a bike he can ride more than 15 minuets without it breaking and he thinks he wants a street tracker. he just purchased the bike and has been working on it trying to make it reliable but has given up because of all the problems.
now it is time to see what is wrong and fix it correctly. for fun we might make it to what the customer really wants.
time to start stripping down the bike until i don't find anymore things to fix. lets see how far i have to go before i start putting it back together again.

Nothing like the wise old man roasting the rich young kid
Poor kid.your a good man Tatro for showing him his motor.
"Compensator? What's it compensating for?"
"It compensates for your lack of knowledge"
Best part of the video. Hahah
Savage
Dude sounds like a crusty old flight engineer
Lefty loosey righty tighty...i dont know anything about your girlfriend dudes a legend
ive got a 76 xlh i rebuildt from videos like this. THANKS
lighter than it was but still heavy! well said sir!
You can't imagine how jealous I am watching someone still able to work on his knees ! Those days are long long gone for me ..
You must be talking about the kid.....
We'll... that's a little personal....
Seems to be easier to work with a kid who doesn't know anything as opposed to working with a kid who thinks he knows it all
Hey guy's some young guys are born motorheads they without any problem have a working knowledge of engines and then there are those that even when someone takes the time to show them around are still for what ever the reason just NEVER gonna be motorhead they are parts changers they can even get the correct terminology out correctly not even swinging dick can be a mechanic just like not every swinging dick is a race car driver some guy's in spite of years of trying are just never gonna be a motorhead ..This kid is one of those never gonna bee's
with painted toe nails at that
O God my son in law thinks he knows everything about mechanics don't know anything
Flip flops and nail polish omg. No wonder the guy is so salty.
yep seen that fucking cal. pussy
Let me guess (Daddy i want to be a biker)
“It compensates for the lack of your knowledge”🤣🤣🤣best comment in this video🤣🤣🤣
44:15
Kid: Compensator? What's it compensating for?
Tatro: It's compensating for your lack of uh, knowledge.
Kid: Ohh :(
The shims are there to keep all the gears in line 😁 in the manual it explains how to find out how many shims you need
Thank you for the video!
I have not laughed so hard in a long time, you are the master of irony 👍
WTF is it with people being in a dirty machine shop with heavy things and wearing sandals? I just cant do it.
Thank god I fought a good mechanic and don’t have to deal with guys like this anymore. “ Ugggghhh.... I hate working on bikes for 50 years...uhhhggg! Everyone who doesn’t know as much about Briggs and Stratton as me is stupid!”
MAESTRO¡¡¡¡¿ SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO CITY¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Im fixing to tackle my 57 xla ihead. Should be some zen time for me.
Love old Iron man sportsters but they cost lot of money to rebuild. I have a 1967 XLH SPORTSTER
91x sticker on the tool drawer! Nice
well, he's in SD. sooo
This poor kid 🤣🤣
He doesn't have thick enough skin for the tatro punishment 🤣🤣
He's just roasting the poor kid
Absolutely hilarious!!!
That Scoring on the inside of the brake drum is some serious shit ( aside from everything else) had a stroked 62 Xlch, Rigid frame Chopper,... the end cap of one of the rear brake shoes broke off and never made a sound, silently scoring a line like a lathe inside the drum. I was blasting down the Southern State at night and went to pass some body and the rear drum and brake plate exploded. luckily the chain didn't lock up the rear wheel. the sprocket Brake plate and drum totally disintegrated. I saved the wheel it has an 8 inch iron disc. It was a loooong push! LOL.
Gotta love the working out of a bucket technician. 15 minutes of work plus 20 minutes of searching for shit while listening to the cussing cause cant find what they're looking for. They get impatient and instead of finding that 3/4 socket they settle for that 19mm and round the bolt head. Good times my friends, good times.
no metric tools in my tool bucket so that will not happen. if all my tools are where they should be than that will not be a problem. its only when you get help that you are screwed.
tatro
@@TatroMachine where are you located
Lol😂 22 min in why did you bring it in? It was leaking. Got both jugs off and 1 piston in backwards
Fucking love Mr T
Nice flip flops
A really nice serie!!
How did the man manage to bruise every single toe nail like that? That's gotta hurt!
paint.
droped that old piece on his flip flops
this kid is like it added more wieght once u took the heads off ..bro i said kid shut the fuck up at least fove times during this video
I'm gonna ask a dumb question can you put xr750 heads and carburetors on a ironhead sportster love your show man
no, but with enough work, you can make anything work. the xr was based off of the kr motors. just like the sportster was based off of the k-model and 45 wl motors before them.
tatro
SAFETY First AFTER WORK!!!!!!
Only Tatro picks up and carries an engine by the piston. I've never come across that method in any Harley manuel that I've seen.
I really wish I could just send my bike to you an have you work on it! Its pissing me off!!!!!
Thanks for the video
Awesome Video !
Thank you Sir!
Tatro...i never put shims in my cams....never had a damn problem...what do you think!
Same with valve seals...no good...ironheads need all the oil they can get....ratger have a bit of smoke!
he`s wearing sandals, kill me now
Where are you located... how much to throw my motor together...
Those rods being a little on the loose side wouldn’t knock?
you would be surprised how loose you can run parts in your motor and never know it. as long as they are straight and installed correctly these could work just fine. just look at how loose my race bike motor is put together. now if things are out of round or coming apart you will deffently not be happy on how things feel or last. you never know untill you take things aparts and see what you are working with.
tatro
Or if they're twisted, yeah
Compensator- "just spins in a circle and makes a mess" LMAO
Why do you guys do a compression check if you could and it look like a gas valve plug in oil foul plug to me when I'm not there
So this must be an early 1972? Mine doesn't have a compensator but does have notched heads. This would be one of the last of the 900's?
no, all the 72's were 1000cc. the heads have been modified by some harley expert so they need to be replaced now. only the xlch shouls have came with the solid motor sprocket.
tatro
Hey Tatro, Im rebuilding a 74 ironhead and I found the connecting rods are backwards, the male one is on the back and the female one is on the front. I have read it´s okay and that there is no mechanical disadvantages, whats your opinion? Thanks for your videos. Jaime
harley ran them that way in the 30's. they switch because it worked better. they still go up and down but i would fix it and whatever else they screwed up too.
tatro
@@TatroMachine I will do that, thanks Tatro!!
I think frame is Bent at engine bots go to or back frame at wheel back bone
Butterfly gun the best
for small jobs it is. on the big stuff you need to pull out the big boys.
tatro
Hi Tatro, I’m rebuilding the top end of my Dyna Twin-cam.. to clean any metal fragments out I been advised to flush the bottom end with fuel, do you think that would be a good idea? Thanks 😎
don't use new gas unless you want a bomb. i would just take it apart and clean it all out. the case has big areas that you can not clean out when it is assembled. most likely the crank is bad anyway.
tatro
Tatro Machine Thanks a lot man..... bottom-end overhaul it is!!! 👍👍😎
Tatro...two things...can you divorce my transmission on old ironhead....i have a few...second.
Best carb for an ironhead be it stroker or no stroker? Oh yeh. I called fpr the tribodyne oil?!?!
Why are you working on the ground? Benches make it much easier 👍
its just like doing it at home in you garage. not everyone has a lift to work on. these are learning video and alot of what i do can be done by anyone.
tatro
I think the guy that built that bike is the same guy that gave the customer his hair cut, he can't do anything right, lol.
"rebuilt" = molested.
What's with the painted toenails
Looks like valve and valve stem sealing problems with all that oil. You would not have oil dripping off the valves like it did if it was rings..
my race bikes have no valve seals and no oil dripping off the valves. harley did not have seals until 1982 and the motors still ran just fine. when the rings go out, the oil goes out the intake and exhaust valves until it runs out of oil. the harder you go the more oil they push out of the motor. you can change valve seals all day long but until you do the rings you are going to be wet.
tatro
@@TatroMachine - Maybe you had the engine upside down for a while??? When you pulled that head off, LOADS of oil came dripping off the edge of the valve to the middle of the valve. No way thats from the rings! Im sure the rings are bad and leak, but it doesnt make sense gravitationaly (made that word up), if the motor has been upright for any amount of time. Gonna have to look at that part of the video again.
Clearly missed career as a comedian, jeez
You mentioned sometimes grinding the rocker arm pads (tips). Wouldn't the new surfaces wear very fast after that or do you reharden the pads?
Now that I think about it, I do recall him mentioning it in other videos, but I can't remember how he addressed the hardening issue.
Though gotta say I got confused thinking I had replied to myself there for a minute, hello fellow J.
the rockerarm tips are not that hard and about the same all the way thru. if you grind too much the rocker geometry goes all the hell.
tatro
Interesting - I thought rocker arms only had a very thin surface hardening and thus grinding would wear through that.
Thanks for the clarification, Senor Tatro.
its not like your cutting a .100 off the tip. just enoght to clean it up.
tatro
If the top end was put together Dirty the Bottom end is trashed as well Dirt and bearings is an isthe. Do you know how you can tell if a mechanic got laid, he has one clean finger😮😂😅
Is the frame bent .
what do you think. you can see the same things i do.
tatro
i have this bike in parts in my basement
Still got that bike in your basement what year and type I'm curious thanks
Scooby-Doo likes munchies, so do old heads.
Where are you located
The way you throw your tools around looks like you hate your job and the way you're talkin to your customer doesn't sound like you're real happy but it sounds like you know what you're doing now have fun
How does one put a piston in backwards when rebuilding a motor ....? I mean come on... Some people have no business touching things
I once bought a 1972 Sporty, the owner said it was hard to kick over, but ran sort of OK....I found the pistons in backwards...fortunately it wasn't run enough to bend the valves...and yes, it was re-built by a Harley Dealer in Los Angeles...who shall remain un-named...
Tatro, is he a family member? And how much did you charge him.
no way.
Lol
Referencing all your videos, I picked up a 79, and I'm praying it's not a disaster, our town doesnt have any tatro's
it's a harley, that's a given.
tatro
I wouldn't deal with any mechanic that throws bike parts and has a bucket of tools.
poor boy will need a compensating mechanic to get all the things fixed this bla-bla wrencher has fucked up.
Grumpy Dude:/
My 85 doesn't have valve seals.
L2fish um put some in.
vector6977 nope. Factory design. I heard if you add them you could seize the valves from no oil
just goes to show you that you should not use harley parts or oil. even in 1985 i didn't use that crap.
i put valves seals on my 1942 wla burnout bike when i built it in 1981.
tatro
Ok. 100 miles ago I had a valve stick open. Sounded like I tossed a rod. 1/2 mile down the road it unstuck. Why it did it or what actually happened I don't know. I may have the heads done this winter.
We’re is Scooby
Is this his son ?
Ù
Rebuild it lol
Need a bigger film studio :)
or its time for a junk sale.
tatro
what did i just watch! first hes working in a mess!!! dirty rags shop is a mess and dirty as hell and hes talking about the other guy being dirty...he yelles at the kid for swearing not even 2 min later he's swearing himself. throwing everything in a basket working out of a bin of tools o my god! here is a suggestion take your bike to a real shop hes paying for that shit work he might as well take it some where pay and have it the right way! Great video on shit not to do !!!
i am glad you liked the video and all the support.
tatro
Occ lol
the guy near you work unsafe
what a baby. did you ask your mommy if it was time to go outside.
tatro
@@TatroMachine great baby take money and run away
Mr. Tatro, you allow the child to walk around in the garage without safety shoes. What would happen if God forbid, some object or heavy tool fell on him ???? It is a safety disrespect to not go in the garage without safety shoes it is a must !!!!!
anyone that proves a point by saying disrespect is a dumbass trying to take away my rights to make themselves feel better. you know what you can do with it.
the next one is, what if this or what if that. another dumbass statement. hey, what if i never heard another dumbass statement from you again.
the only child in this video is me and i do what i want to do and i don't care what you think. be a man and grow a pair or go and save someone else that doesn't and or cares about having any rights to be a dumbass when they want too.
tatro
@@TatroMachine umm....I would never ever endorse you or your shop.
