I already replied to a comment but I'm going to repeat it here.
The throttle is wide open when left alone. Pushing down closes the throttle.
The fuel sucking back may be from the tank vent being left closed. You have to manually open the tank vent.
Dennis at Creighton Rock Drill in Ontario is the expert on these. CRD has all the parts EXCEPT the plastic side handle that us broken on yours. They also provide repair and full rebuild services.
If the fuel hose was brittle the gas hose & gas seal may also be brittle. That's the hose that channels gasses down into hollow drill steels (and the seal that seals around the steel) to eject dust & chips from the drill hole when drilling.
You are using mixed gas right? CRD recommends normal SAE 40 non-detergent motor oil for the mix, the ratio is 1:12 because the oil passes down into the hammer mechanism to lubricate those parts.
Lastly, I was able to get pdf files of the brochure, operation manual, parts manual, and full rebuild manual from Jim Phillis at Atlas-Copco.
Wow, great info Matt C ! 👍
Hopefully he sees this
I'm saying thank you for helping him out. Great information
Very nice to have viewers help keep the younger generation to educate those who may some day pass on to the next-generation 👍
You the man! With the info.
Haha, God bless you Matt! I haven't yelled at the TV like that for a long time lol! I use to run those back when I was a young man. It appears to be running perfectly, but just above idle. She will jump a foot off the ground on hard granite at high speed. By now you no doubt know that the throttle is used to idle down the machine and as a kill button. Remember, primarily it is a drill and needs to be throttled down to start a new hole. Otherwise, she runs full throttle. After you get it started and the chock off, you adjust for highest reliable RPM. You lean the mixture as it warms up. If you start getting a lean pop, richen the mixture until it stops popping. The mixture changes with temperature and elevation so you make small adjustments throughout the day for best performance. If you want to idle down for more than a few seconds, richen the mixture instead of holding the button half way. Pionjar are very robust but simple. Basically, you are the carburator. I think the fuel mixture was 12 to 1, 30W motor oil, not 2 stroke oil. By design, black sooty oil runs down the drill chuck for lubrcation.
Sounds very much like someone that's spent too many hours leaning on that drill. I agree it's probably more set up for drilling small blast holes and the like, but don't give Matt any ideas .......
My Uncle was notorious for “chemical excavating “ 💥💥😂
@@Kaptain13Gonzo He might very well sell it to Andrew Camarata. The guy is into blasting whole mountains !! 🤣🤣🤣
@@marcryvon And Andrew could do with some blasting on that road up his mountain to take out the steeper parts!
Exactly! We used 1 1/8 in star bits to drill holes for 1 in powder, but it also worked well for pins and feathers. It had an adapter for driving the pins and you could split big boulders that way if blasting wasn't an option.
I am from Sweden and i have used the pionjär ( Pioneer) and the bigger version Cobra a lot. They are notorius Hard to start but when they run they do a very god job. I dont see that you do anything wrong, i have used a lot of foul language över these , keep up the good work!!
Yes, the high amount of oil in the fuel tend to clog the spark plug if it idles too long and frequent cleaning of spark plugs is a memory I have of these.
Well done Bjorn thats proper subscriber/viewer support
Svenska grejer är rediga grejer det! 👍🏻
Men jag visste inte att Pionjär var detsamma som Pioneer? Hoppas han ser ditt svar iallafall 👍🏻
@@TheBibliofilus I've used Easy Off oven cleaner to clean fouled 2 stroke plugs.
I have the bore-sharpening-machine for pionjär, if anyone is interested.
Jag har Borrslipmaskin till pionjär om nån är intresserad.
Previous owner must of been a massive enthusiast to be having those manual pages stuck together.
😂😂
He was a definite fan of two stroke.
@@buckchase1 Sometimes that’s all you need.
LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I think it was much more than a “2 stroke” to that previous owner, lol. 😂
Gives jackhammering a whole new meaning.
I have a new Chinese copy of one of these. After half as much pulling I ripped the side off and made a drill starter attachment for a big drill! I have sharpie all over mine, with notes to make it run.
My father who was a swedish patternmaker made the patterns for the first model of the Pionjär around 1960!
Is the pionjar jackhammer the same as the cobra 148 is the engine same on them or is it a difrent sylinder and piston?
Pionjär = Pioneer. They are popularly called Berg Kobra = Rock Cobra here in Sweden. I have a friend who has two of those. One of them is still in use.
Watch out for the white spots on your fingers and hands though, first sign of damage when using high vibration tools.
I've heard steaming the pages works if they're stuck together!
The throttle is permanently set for full speed. If you push it to the half way point that is the idle speed. If you push it all the way down that is stop.
that seems more logical than needing to throttle it up for function with having the controlled leak fuel system, leave it alone till you need less cowbell, or none at all
Then it is weak AF. It should rev higher.
I can confirm that down is off, don't push the throttle, you're shutting it off.
The way this "throttles" is through the opposing pistons. The compression is really low until you push down on a tool which provides back pressure on the lower piston, raising compression and engine speed.
@@tomahoks i don't think a higher speed automatically means a stronger cut, the weight of the hammer can only be cycled efficiently so fast, remember this is not a serious breaker, its a handy portable prospecting/small/remote job unit, it seemed to handle that chunk of sidewalk about as expected
I was so certain he was pulling our chain through most of this video and was going to show that he found out that the "throttle button" wasn't at all what he thought it was by the end of the video. I mean I thought he was in full animal humor mode. I was rolling on the ground laughing. Matt shows us so much, he even admits mistakes. Giving us an opportunity to see we can too. This one just looped me. Loving it!
Hello Matt. Awsome, as a Swedish person AND owner of a Pionjär Cobra i love this. I have an older model with a crank insted of magnapull. Suicidestart, because it can kick you bad. You can get parts
They run with very low RPM. . The company now goes under "Atlas Copco". You probably also need the "ä" in Pionjär, insted of "a". "Ä" is pronounced like "And" but without "nd" . Pionjär means Pioneer in Swedish.
Hello, these units are very unique to use as we use them in the military to run spikes down for large hanger and fabric tension shelters, unfortunately the company doesn't make them anymore and the push button is used to shut the unit off as the turn know next to aur filter is the throttle to wide open and then metered by push button if you need a Manuel I can send you a full one as I have several at hand as atlas went to a much new unit and these units are made in China from original swedin.
Steam from a kettle is good for separating stuck pages i would imagine.
Yes, steam from a kettle or steam cleaner, or steam iron will do the trick.

That’s what I was thinking
When I saw that recoil fly out and your exasperated reaction I really thought the project was doomed. Your perseverance is incredible. You are a human version of a pit bull on his bone. Great results!
got same feeling and conclusion but not with Mat he does not know how to quit.
That brings back memories. We used the Cobra portable rock drill on mountain tops to drill rock anchor and ground rod holes for communication sites. It was notoriously finicky and hard to start, especially at altitude, which was 5,000 to 9,000 feet. If you became familiar with it, you could manage it, otherwise forget it. I heard the Pionjar was better. Thanks for the memory!
Matt, I much older than you and tore my rotators years ago. Had everything reattached. But arthritist set in. I can't do pull start machines anymore so I've gone to electric with most of my cordless tools. I admire your perseverance. Been watching and subscribed from the start. 👍
The US Air Force ( in Germany ) used this to drive 3 foot X 3 inch stakes to support the 15 foot Parabolic Antenna used with the AN/TRC-97 microwave point to point radio set.
We also used it to drive 8 stakes to anchors the OE-361 (QRSA) 20 foot Satellite antenna.
As I remember this thing was A PAIN IN THE ASS to get started and keep running!
But… when it work it did the job.
There are three things to remember….

I used one of these machines that was adapted for collecting soil samples when I was doing geological field work. I don’t have fond memories of starting 🤬 that machine so I sympathize with you. You are one determined salvager …
It kills my shoulder to watch this. I can’t believe you hung in there as long as you did. I’m a very patient guy , but when pull start engines keep giving me trouble, I go crazy. I have to admit , when this thing fell over in the snow, I was like “ that’s fine just leave it rite there” Thanks for the videos Matt. (Seth from North Carolina)
Thomas Paine once said "That which we achieve too easily, we esteem too lightly." Matt, by the time you get something working, you have really earned it!
HE DID?
I vaguely remember my grandfather using these once or twice. He owned his own general contracting company and did lots of work for the local municipality fixing roads and doing rough groundwork back in the day however by the time my memory started to form he was mostly retired. I remember vaguely riding shotgun with him in the dumper and some of his trucks. Back then I remember it being boring days mostly filled with waiting. At least the truck trips. Now that he is gone remembering it just makes me miss him. I would take those boring trips any day over him not being here and seeing me start a family of my own. He was not technically savvy enough to get into TH-cam before he passed. He would have liked to see some of these old machines getting a new lease on life.
Got to love Swedish Tools 10:30 @Diesel Creek
Hey Matt! The way you spelled the name of the unit, in Swedish it would be pronounced, " Pioneer ". Also I'm surprised you got the recoil spring for the pullstart wound as quick as you did and in the right direction. WTG! PS a guy has a link below in the comments for Maskinsalg in Sweden for ordering parts and accessories and everyone speaks English in Sweden so you're good to go.
Pioneer is the English word, but it's not pronounced the same way as the Swedish Pionjär
Pi - like 'pee' but more of i tone, longer the Pi in Pioneer)
on - as the English word 'on'
jär - j+'air' (the j w/o any leading d sound,much like the y in 'year')
edit - trailing ' on 'air' was accidentally (android keyboard) an l
I’m impressed with your determination. I would’ve launched it across the yard and waited a few days before I picked it back up
If you fling it into the woods, you will never see it again once the underbrush grows some.
Yea, It deserves a float test...throw it in the river, if it sinks, it was OK....
Pionjär, I believe 🙂
Could call it the Pioneer, it's the translation at least. Really cool!!
Wonder if it's the same as the pioneer chainsaw that never caught on in the USA in the seventies
Absolutely correct translation! But here in Sweden, I think that it was often just called Cobra. (at least in the places where I used these.)
Someone may correct me if I am wrong! :-)
@@22hilding du har rätt Lasse det är det allmänna namnet 🙂
@@Freklund Thanks for the confirmation! ;-) Cool with another Swede here at DieselCreek! Ha det gött!
@@22hilding There´s more of us here :) I belive cobra is the bigger model.
Used alot for high and low voltage line work (poles) here in Norway. Most of it is military overflow. Great machines if you know how to get them started. Seems like everyone has its own temper 🙈 worked with some Chinese knockoffs aswell. They are hard on your joints compared to a Pionjär.
Running procedure: full throttle, closed choke. When it pops turn the choke off. Adjust the needle. When it pops, give it more gas (counter clockwise). When it studders, give it less gas (clockwise).
What you call a throttle is a gas strangler to make less rpm for finer positioning (drilling)
Filter helped a ton to get the old girl running Nice to see she is breaking up Concrete like a Champ Born to do it 32:22 @Diesel Creek
Working for a telephone company we often used the Pionjar to drill rock anchors. Always tough to start but once running it would plod along but with no air to blow out the drill hole you had to keep pulling it up to clear the hole or it would get the bit stuck. Not as good as a Pneumatic Jack hammer or drill but great for a right of way in the woods
It uses exhaust gas to "blow the hole".
Year 1988 in my military service we do some training with those. Good to drill holes rock for explosives or mounting bolts. Heavy and noisy of course.
Same here in the early 2000's for roadwork in the military.
12B Combat Engineer? Me too! Not a wonder Sappers would flock to this channel. Matt's a good guy for those of us who like to fiddle with heavy junk~
While I never used one personally, I remember them being used in the1980's to drive grounding rods for the equipment we worked on in the military.
Boy does this bring back memories! I worked for a drilling and blasting company for thirty-five years,they also had a equipment repair and sales company that was a dealership with many of the big names ,IR, gardner denver etc, they had a full staff of techs to service and repair equipment, when one these came in for repair the techs would hide or go home sick so they wouldn't have to work on them LOL
Watching you pull on that recoil starter over and over and over and over was starting to make my rotator cuff act up. Your tenacity is admirable, and one of the main reasons I like to watch your "will it run" videos so much. I've dubbed you "Tenacious D" in honor of your "never give up" attitude.
When I was working for a legal surveying company in the 90's we had one of those as well as a unit called a Kango.
We used them for digging frozen and hard ground and also had a end that we could put over the steel survey pins and drive them into the ground.
The punjar was lighter, cleaner, and nicer to use than the heavy, oily old kango
Kango’s were mainly midweight electric breakers (110v) I have one in a shed somewhere ! never seen a petrol one
@@CrimeVid we had 2 stroke gas ones they were gross to use.
Around here ‘Kango’ is a common universal aquivalent for jack hammer.
Hi mat . I have used these machines in the past and they are fantastic, when you come to use it don’t put your weight on the machines all you have to do is guide it and let the machines do the work. I think you would like it.
It seems the main problem is the nut that's holding the kill button.
You are amazing... In a million years I could never do something like break down a machine I knew nothing about and get it to work. I guess that's why I love watching every video you produce; you do everything exceptionally well.
We were issued with these (we pronounced them Pin-Jar) when I worked for British Gas over 30 years ago, here in the UK. They were a real pain in the backside to start and use.
8:15 tips or tricks?
Try steaming the book a while and "slowly" drawing the pages apart - then dry them one at a time until you have all pages "apart.
DO NOT allow them to be closed - until long after the pages are dried - also after drying but before closing, sprinkle talcum powder on the pages to keep them from re-sticking again.
WAIT - the front cover has THE MOST BENEFIT (to start it) if you consider that the compression needs BOTH pistons being forced together, not just the top one connected on the upper crankshaft.
To "compress the bottom piston head UP - you need a bit in the machine to allow the machine's weight to bear down and FORCE the piston UP.
Real good Matt! I’ve used the exact same model the last 8 years in the land surveying world! The little momentary switch near the handle is the kill switch. That’s part of your issue. I see you are holding it and trying to start it. There is different mix of fuel these need with sae 30 and 91 octane. 50:1 normal tcw3 mix is not good. I know the old chainsaws said to use 30 weight and fuel at 16:1 etc and modern oil and 50:1 is the ticket but his one actually needs the sae 30 and 91. They are always a real pain in the neck to start and run either way! If you need parts, may trail equipment in Idaho is your best bet!! General rule is turn both the top handle to the left to start.
i was just about to say use 30 wt. and 91
You're so right can I tell as a Swede. I run mine on not less than 5% oil and often more if its hot. Smokes "a bit" but it will survive. ;D [There are also diesel driven ones but they are impossible to start without help.]
Again, I am amazed by your sense of adventure and fearlessness in just diving right into something you know nothing about. You've got good troubleshooting skills, however, which are very helpful, and, I see, you've got a very helpful bunch of commentaries on everything from getting stuck pages apart, to how the throttle apparently works opposite from what one would assume. God bless the Swedes - I have enough fun just trying to put Ikea furniture together!
I have heard of gas powered jack hammer But never ever seen one that is cool its also a rock drill 😮😎 that is So Cool Matt 2:00 @Diesel Creek
That looks like one hell of a Exhausting Workout trying to start that Jack Hammer Sounded Mean When it started on the ether Matt 😮 20:18 @Diesel Creek
I would assume since the air filter itself is essentially the carburetor, having the correct air filter is critical to fuel metering.
I remember seeing similar machines here in Australia about 1970. They were similar to the trench compactors made by various manufacturers. the most common were made by Wacker. When portable generators became common, electric jackhammers became available and were more reliable.
Used one for years great machine, use 16:1 fuel oil mix.. start it no touching any buttons. the rotary dial is mixture control. The middle one, not pushing anything is normal run, half push center button for idle, push all the way to stop
I used one of these through the 1990s and into the early 2000s for environmental soil sampling. A place called Sonic Soil Sampling in the southern Ontario area supplied it to us. Tended to foul up the spark plugs after a few weeks of use. Eventually wore out the rings so I changed them, installed a new spark plug and ran great again for another 10 years.
So exciting to see old equipment. I used to be an order picker at a small engine parts warehouse; I've never seen a doughnut shaped tank. Don't forget to take a break Matt, we don't want you destroying yourself, humans a real pain to repair.
Hey Matt, when small engines don't work the way they should, just remember, Mustie1 is one click away!😂😂
Heck he probably even has one of these in his shed :D
He hss a has powerd drill.
Is it possible the mixture dial is also your throttle and the “button” is actually a decompressor to kill the motor?
Always look forward to your videos, Matt. Thank you for all the effort.
Nice to see a real Pion-jaer [-jair] in Swedish, "Pioneer" officially in English! Made for the Army Engineer Throops and then painted matt olive green. Still in use! All variants are called "Cobra" here, what is the brand from another "small" Swedish rock-drill equipment manufacturer with name Atlas Copco. When you're addicted to yours then buy a new (A C) Cobra! Haha!
Often the old ones run on a very fat 2-stroke "old type gas" (~ + additives) with about 5 to 7% old not PC 2-stroke oil (or just add mineral engine oil in worst case). I have several of them from Civil Defence surplus here in Sweden. Easy to buy new spare-parts here and in Africa, where a lot of them ended! ;D So good when lifting huge granite boulders with a big tripod in fields with ring stone anchor and also when blasting rocks in ditches. Can be hard started especially cold, but small amount of ether will solve the problem! They live forever if you use grease and have clean air-filter when rock-drilling. Check the channel that make compressed "air" into the rock drill bits to clean the drill holes with exhaust fumes.
Print out and give this to your wifee because she isn't so proud to NOT read instruction manual. This is the original one in Swedish for Military version: www.maskinsalg-as.no/delelister/Bruksanvisning_Pionjar_BR_80.pdf Note printed 1974. She will translate it with ease like the line Petrol to Oil ratio 12:1 !!! (Page 5 upper part!!)
Try a steam iron from your wife at the same time to get pages apart! Works for nearly everything except extreme glues like epoxy resin. But be careful so you don't get text on both sides.
In the early eighties I worked for a big rental company and had the pleasure of working on several gas powered jackhammers
There are videos out there on how to extract the ethanol from gasoline using the simple and cheap water separation method. I'd love to see you do a video on that, and then do a long term test on "purified" gasoline to see if it will not rot fuel line like the ethanol based gas does.
I used a similar device back in the 60s to remove some ledge in my driveway. It was quite large and it took several weeks to complete. I only worked on it an Hr a day after I came home from work. Neighbors did'n like the noise. The unit I had was very old, probly made in the 30s, but worked veru well.
Gramps
what is ledge made out of? is that like SLC Utah USA 🇺🇸 granite/quarts?
I know some version of the Pionjär was used by US armed forces so it might not be too hard to find a manual in English, but if not I could translate a Swedish original for you. Just let me know.
It's probably 15-20 years since I last used one but I can confirm the reversed throttle action mentioned elsewhere in this thread - "full throttle" is supposed to be used for stopping the machine, and that sure seemed to work. ;-)
It was made by Syntron in Homer City, PA and actually predates the Pionjär by almost two decades. One of the nice things about the Pionjär is that it has a built-in grinder on the end of the crankshaft for sharpening drills.
Once upon a time many years ago, I went to a construction job and told the job "Super" I wanted to be a carpenter, but I didn't have a hammer. He took me to a crew boss and he handed me a "hammer", a 90 pounder. Well, it wasn't long before I had earned my "street cred". That was over 55 years ago. I did work my way up the chain through hard work, and eventually had my own company. So it's with fondness to see a jackhammer back in use, although the closest I will ever get to one these days, is about the distance to the surface of the sun!
Man do I feel your pain starting that little bastard. We have some small engines (and bigger, like Wacker diesel plates) where starting will nearly cause a stroke! Helpful tip unrelated, mikasa jumping jacks - if your crew chucks them around like ours do-the throttle control area is a poor design easily bent and can screw up the operation. Check that if poor running or starting. Thanks for posting.

I think from memory that "push button" is the decompression knob to stop it, hence why you find it not speeding the machine up - but rather killing it.
Also - the harder you lean on them, the higher the compression from the lower piston and the better they run.
Bloody hard yakka though - to have your whole body "vibrating away - all day"
Its the throttle, but its correct that its "backwards", you slow it down when you push it. You are supposed to have it fully open when using the drill.
You are also supposed to let the weight of the machine do the work and holding it lightly just balancing it, you can lean on it ofcourse but if you going to use the drill all day you don't ;)
This beast is even more gigantic than the Bosch electric jackhammer I used to run on my first job (laborer for a basement waterproofing company - ugh). On a later horrible job, I got to use a regular air jackhammer which was AWESOME. It destroyed everything almost effortlessly and it was waaaaaay lighter than the Bosch.
@Diesel Creek - ebay has the air parts you need, search on ebay using "atlas copco 120" and there is a housing, a prefilter, and more

Of Course after doing all this work and kind of figuring this thing out on my own, when I uploaded this video I found an excellent video from the manufacture on this thing! 🤦♂

Love the videos keep up the good work :)
Yea keep the the good work also what dose it mean by highlighted comment ?
Hi Matt could you not use a hairdryer on low to separate the pages.
Yes, lots of info on this machine online. Although in Swedish...Also spare parts are available. I used this machine a lot when I was younger. I'm glad those days are gone 😄
Yeah Matt but look at all the valuable lessons that you would have missed out on lol.
Mat, what you have here is an equivilant of a 1960's 70's "McCullogh" chainsaw! get rid of it. It won't hurt you shoulder, it will do your head in. If it wont start up like your "Whacker plate" in the video, get rid of it! Donate it it to a museum of some such. Best wishes!
I’m pretty familiar with Swedish manufacturing. One tip, when assembling put a little glue on the wooden dowels. Of course my experience is with desks and shelving units…
Dude!!! Watching how excited you get every time you get an old tired worn out engine started is justification for a lifetime subscription to your channel. I mean, who hasn’t been there. I had so many different small engines that I spent hours and hours pulling on to no avail.
Thank you Matt, I love your channel, the fact that you dont claim to know everything and we can watch you discover how things work is awsome, you are honest, authentic, real and i learn so much from your channel, you inspire me to go out and discover/ learn and fix a few things, thank you
A damp towel and a steam iron, check frequently as you steam. Most other solvent based solutions would have a good chance of dissolving the ink. A parchment paper designed for oven use will not absorb water or oils, much like freezer paper. A test run is advised ;-)
Mandrel bends some crome-molly tube in the shape of the broken plastic side handle, flatten the and drill some bolt holes. I used floor vent filters wrapped around the inside of my Harley Sportster air cleaner housing, which worked like a charm and was cheaper too. Slip some foam pipe insulation around the tube to cut the vibration.
That's a Homer Simson Moment It dosent have a carburetor that's what the Reed Valves are for and The Adjustable manual Needle valve always Great To see creators put the Oopsy Mistakes in the video Great work as always Matt Always Great entertainment 12:28 @Diesel Creek
Hey Matt! Another GREAT job bringing an old piece of equipment back to life! I'll bet that I'm just as thrilled as you are when you get them running again. What would thrill me even more is a group meet on camera with Dirt Perfect and letsdig18. Matt, Mike and Chris....what a laugh fest that would be!!!!
Definitely use steam. It will unstick the pages for sure but be careful not to burn yourself in the process. If you put freezer paper between the pages as it dries it won't stick back together.
Hi Matt! I use to use those years ago when I was a lineman… we used them to drill holes in rock to drive in anchors for guy wires. We pronounced them as Poonjars. They were the biggest pain in ass to use! We spent more time pull starting them then we did using them. It’s been a while but I thought the button with the spring was the shut off. You had to keep frigging with the mixture knob to keep it running smoothly and at peak rpm and push the button to shut it off. I gotta say, you had yours running way smoother than we ever did!
🤔 any into granite or in a gravel pit ? i have a ground rod that is stuck 4ft down out of 10 ft and ideally 20ft down is what im aiming for, the 10lb siege isn't cutting it and the 5ftlb dewalt SDS-max drill isn't enough ether 😢
Pionjär means pioneer in Swedish
@@albineriksson2667 id of guessed Afghanistan 🇦🇫 5 lions 🦁as it looks like the same spelling/sounds like the same thing
looking at the spec sheets it looks like the new round of inexpensive cordless SDS max drills have the same potential as the pionar 2-stroke gasoline or better ie the mekda 80V drill at 26J ish of impact energy and its easier to operate but it is sofar missing the option for cleaning out the debris out of the bore hole aka air or water line feed for flushing.
With solar or the new hybrid trucks aka ford f150 bed plug it has the same if not longer run time as hot swapping the batteries is possible ect
here matt i found this for you ok :- If the pages are stuck very firmly together and have a high likelihood of tearing if you apply more force, steam the pages by placing the book above a pan of hot, boiling water. This softens the pages and allows them to separate with less force.
Very common also in the Finnish military. FYI Pionjär translates directly as "pioneer" but actual means a military branch you would call combat engineers in the us. Good for laying anti tank mines in asphalt of hard gravel with the shovel blade. And drilling holes to explode rock by the side of a highway to, again, block russian t-72's. Use very thick 2-stroke mix. 8% if I recall correctly. The excessive 2-stroke oil also lubes the hammer mechanism.
I've never been so worn out watching a video. Matt you're amazing I would have tracked over that thing by now.
Had me crackin up watchin you pull on that so many times. Ive been there myself and that will flat wear you out quick
Get you a spray bottle and moisten them once they become pliable they will come apart and then get you an iron like for your clothes and iron them one by one drying them out making them crisp again
Use steam to get the pages apart. Hold the pages directly and horizontally over a vigorously boiling pot of water and let the moisture from the steam loosen the pages as you slowly pull them apart. Good luck!!!
For fishing those fuel lines through tank hole to add filter I use a length of piano wire (spring wire) bend it and put it though the bottom hole and out the cap. Then feed the fuel hose over the wire starting from the bottom. The wire guides it right out of the tank. Add on the filter. Pull out the wire, then rebend the wire if you need, reinsert it into the hose to move the hose into the new location. You have my sympathies I have cursed things and like yourself refuse to stop pulling until either it breaks or I do.
We had these in the U.S. military back in the 90's. I was part of a mobility unit. We packed them all the time. If memory serves me right, they were had to start then too.
12 series MOS? I ask because my nephew is 12B20 in a route clearance unit and he's talked about other Engineers using stuff like this.
@@wes11bravo Actually, Air National Guard Mobile Air Traffic Control Unit. Used them to drive 10 foot ground rods.
Hey Matt. Nice find: Pionjaer = Pioneer 🙂 If you have a steam wallpaper stripper, or anything with a gentle steam output, you can hold the leaflet by the spine above it with the pair of stuck pages in the stream, and gently pull the pages apart after a few seconds. Good luck 🤞
Kusos, Matt! My arms and shoulders ached from just watching you try to start that beast. You stuck with it much longer than I would have. Love your videos!
He is a youthful spring chicken compared to me, he wasn't sore the next morning. lol
Pionjär is Pioneer in swedish. We have those and still use them at work (Linesman) we use them to set fastening clamps on cable pipes and for anchors for power lines, fasten the poles etc. Can also be used to drill and blast rock but its much slower going than a air powered drill. We also have shovle and compacting plate to use with the pioneer. I often use its smaller cusin the "Pico", its a lot lighter, but also only about half the speed. When climbing on mountains or getting on and of our boat its a huge difference
If you want to get the pages from sticking, then try to put some heat from a blow dryer on the pages....15 inches away blowing it should loosen the adhesive. Same for price tag stickers on tools 😊
I used these back in my Airforce days to drive huge grounding systems for radar sites. It can be a handful to operate. Good to see you saved it.
did it work in hard rock my G-rod is stuck and its a holding up my new electric service
So happy your new video is out! I've been waiting. Keep up the great content Matt! Still my favorite channel!
I’m proud of you, Matt! That thing is a beast. I hope you find a job where it will make you a fortune for your persistence and effort.
He did! Making you tube videos!
Try a light steaming over a pot of water to unstick the papers. Then just allow he paper to dry. Neat machine, great videos.
Matt nice score glad to see you got it running as for the rarity of a gas powered jackhammer.... I’m an ex railroad man for 32 years the track department used to use them all the time what a big blade on the bottom of it in the trap rock underneath RR ties....when they were doing a tie replacement temporary fix for speed restriction.... It had like a big hammer head on it to get the trap rock underneath the ties....I can still see Damien garden who is the biggest ((((((Goliath))))) they used to call him the ((((Greek))) pick the thing up!!!!Out of the back of a truck like he was picking up his lunchpail!!!!!!!!!! and carried over and start it and do his work out while trying to fix the track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so they can get back to normal speed I can still envision it take care keep up the videos Junkmando
Best way is to steam the pages apart and ghen run an iron over the page to dry it out completely, it works for me, as i oftern find some of my old manuals do the same.
I havecseen people carefully soke the page oin water for a while but dontbthink its a good idea as they came fall apart on you.
We use hydraulic Pionjar hammer drills for environmental sampling when you need to get into tight spaces! Really cool to see such an old school one on the channel!
I love watching everything you do. Can you fill us in on your farm? How many acres, do you grow any crops, is there any power on or near the property?
Thanks!!
Great video, as usual!
I have manual, parts manual and service manual in pdf format that I can send to you if you are interested?
These “motor drills” are extremely common all over the globe, so spare parts shouldn’t be a problem even in US.
Berema is merged/overtaken by Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco has be rename in Epiroc now
Ol Atlas Copco. Worked for them in the early eighties fresh out of high school. Paccar and Wagner Mining Equipment.
I just bought one here in Toronto Can.
I sure would be a happy recipient of your thoughtful & kind offer!
steam either from a kettle or iron with the iron put the paper between two damp towels and lightly press check regularly though until the pages come apart
I used these in USAF Combat Comm to anchor A/N TRC-170(V)2 troposcatter antenna bases. Try standing on a 10 ft a-frame ladder in an empty field with a Pionjar and hammering 12 ea 10-foot sections of ground rod into the ground. Then, you can say you've used one.
If only needed on occasion, sure beats keeping a compressor, hoses and oiler maintained.
Air jack hammers might be solid pieces of kit, but they do need a lot of other things working and working well.
HEY ! Good morning Matt and thumbs UP ! 👍
Matt, really enjoyed this video. Any chance you could demonstrate it working correctly on another video? I'd love to see an update with this thing running in the sweet spot. There's so many great tips in the comments I'd bet with all that additional knowledge you'd get it running awesome!
Reminds me of several vintage dirt bikes I've got...they're beasts to start, and once you've finally got them started, you're so exhausted you don't have energy to ride the darn thing.
Used this to drive arrow point anchors and ground rods for a mobile radar system in the Air Force. A pain to start but once running it would wear you out. LoL. Great video. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
maybe try steaming those pages apart .. no idea if it will work but.. might be worth a try, i can see why that was for sale miserable to start lol .. good luck..
yeah there's no way I'd have the patience for this thing. I love old tools and fixing things but when it takes 300+ pull starts it's going in the bin. love the video anyway man
Hi Matt. All the info re' parts that you could ever want (via Atlas Copco too) here:

33:03 It's ok, Matt. Round's a shape. I should know. 😀
To separate pages use steam jet for teasing each page apart. If you get it wet use a stem iron to dry and flaten.
After about the 50th pull on the rope I started to get a hint of why you don't see a lot of those things and why that one was for sale cheap and doesn't look very used! Good job on finally getting it going.👍
