    Great job. I think it would be the perfect project to do a complete tear down and rebuild to make it like new.

    • @steam212

      It would be a great candidate for a full restoration. I didn't plan on going that far into it myself, truthfully Im not sure what I'm going to use it for, but I sure am glad it's running again.

    Cool that she fired off. I hope that it will pull itself once you get everything dialed in.

      We'll take it out for a run in the next video.

    I really liked this one. I can’t wait for the magneto.

    • @steam212

      Great idea! I think we should open it up just to inspect the points and make absolutely sure that there is no rust or debris inside that may cause issues down the road. Thank you for the suggestion, you guys really are GREAT 👍

    well done mate. I actually cheered when it ran. Really pleased for you.

      We did it Paul, I was so happy when it bumped back on the crank, "she's gonna go" I'll be doing some work on it this week and I promise that you'll all get to go for a putt with me 👍

    Awesome fix. Enjoy fixing anything that is mechanical myself. Very satisfying to watch, thank you.

    Been following you for a while and never saw your face until this episode. The mystique is gone. You had a Tool Time Wilson thing going.
    Well done on that engine, put a smile on my clock when it first puffed! Cheers!! 🇨🇦

      I apologize for ruining the mystique Andy. Thankfully you had enough dedication to the project to stick it out even after seeing me . I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it run for the first time in years, I sure was happy. I'll get the tank mounted, plumbed, adjust the carburetor and we'll take it out in the next video. Thank you for watching, and commenting 👍

    I'm guessing by the ease everything came apart, it must have been well looked after before it became garden furniture. Great video, well done.

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว

      I was impressed by how easily it came apart too. That Kroil penetrating oil has to be the best stuff I've found for projects like this. I'm glad you enjoyed this video, we'll take it out for a putt putt on the next one. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍

    That is some strong spark. You could almost do some welding with that!

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I could hardly believe that the magneto was still ready to go. I was so excited to hear the impulse clicking, but almost couldn't find the words when it still fired the lightning.

    • @therandomman6647
      @therandomman6647 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @steam212 as soon as you got the intake valve started and saw compression, I knew it would pop right off with that new carb

  • @therandomman6647
    @therandomman6647 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That exhaust valve doesn't have much lift and looks a little bent. I'd run it as long as it seals, though. You gotta take what you can get!

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, it was a gamble that has paid off (so far). We still have an ace in the hole (compressor valve) if it proves to be an issue 👍

    I've got one of these...set up with a battery though...

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว

      Battery ignition, or electric start? Sounds interesting

    • @pauldietrich6790
      @pauldietrich6790 ปีที่แล้ว

      Battery ignition.Electric start at that time was years away for something that small... @@steam212

    i know it's a bit cliche' but when it fired off i had a mental picture of gene wilder in young frankenstein;;;;; it's alive! talk about something standing the test of time ;-)

    Every cut, more wrenches appeared

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว

      More wrenches; more progress More cuts; shorter video....... Did you see where I put my 3/8 ratchet? I've looked everywhere.. We'll find it sooner or later. Thank you for watching and commenting, hopefully you enjoyed the video.

    here's a video of another one of these Standard Monarchs. You can see the intake valve should be longer with the valve spring outside, that way you can hold it open to prime the engine when you crank it. th-cam.com/video/YgXOtHRAT-w/w-d-xo.html

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว

      If the Standard Tractor Co. would write me back with a list of dealers in my area, I would order the factory replacement parts. But until I hear back from them I will have to improvise or make what still exists work. In all honesty though Henry, now that I know it seems to be happy to burn fuel again I will do some measurements and figure out what I need to replace the valve as close as I can to factory specs as possible. When it comes to the 1/8 npt hole in the intake, it will be a great place to install a replaceable valve guide. Im not done with this old girl yet but I'm very happy that she's a runner again.

      I'll get back at it soon, I've been working on other things and going to several engines shows. I'm ready for things to get back to normal and spend more time in the shop with you guys 👍

    Is the engine oil the gearbox oil?

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is, it is a dedicated engine cast into the gear case (frame). It really is an oddball of a machine.

    • @therandomman6647
      @therandomman6647 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @steam212 that is amazing! I wish modern designs were that efficient. All modern stuff is designed to be low maintenance, then Disguard the efficiencies of older designs.

    • @steam212
      @steam212  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@therandomman6647 I agree, low maintenance anymore means no maintenance, run it till it won't and then throw it out seems to be the normal now. What happened to the times of "take care of your equipment and it will take care of you"? It's sad to think of how much "old" equipment has been left out to die just to be replaced by something "new & better"

      I NEED to get out there and finish it up, I promised you guys that we would take it for a putt around the field together. Sounds like a great project for this weekend 👍
