@@smolder447 Lol… after discovering this dude’s wonderful YT Chan oh, @ the timeframe of the globe putting its brakes on, via ‘pandemic’ shutdowns, I’ve gradually gone backwards thru his archives of FANTASTIC video material, to either re-watch or, watch for the 1st go’round & well, just glad I didn’t read comments b4 lettin’ this one play thru! Ironically tho, aside from myself already having decades on my belt of very similar resto projects as he’s taken on (& in several many cases, exactly the same bizarre or, rare items restored by me), it was my discovery of Evaporust @ 2018-ish, that lead to my eventual discovery of this YT Chan, doin’ rando research of that product, for whatever else that Co has/had to offer & lookin’ for reviews and such
Sorry if someone else solved the "mystery", but I haven't read it as whole until now: The seeder, as it is restored, is not fully functional. The silver bar left dangling on the back wheel is supposed to go to the chute to block the seeds. Only when a screw on the back wheel is passed by the small silver lever, the bar is retracted and a load of seeds is planted. This way small batches of seeds are deposited to grow. The screws in the back wheel can be keyed so that each rotation minimum one and maximum 6 batches are administered into the ground by opening the chute. You can choose what suits the plants seeding distance. Different plants need different offsets from each other, otherwise the might compete for nutritions and water. The manual shut-off with the wire and silver pice is used, if the seeder is still rolling, but should not seed. I.e. when you seed a field and reach the end of a row, you want to turn around in a wider circle, maybe. Then just flip the manual close and turn around. Open when starting the next row. But again, nicely done! This might not be useful these days as other parts you have restored, but either recycle (for something new to be created) or restore.
I believe the way it's supposed to work, is the two front wheels go on either side of a furrowed row, the plow point digs in, the mechanism drops the seed, the wide rear wheel buries it, and the arm breaks the dirt clumps off the wheel. I've only seen one used once when I was kid, but that seems right.
Hiker Bro close, but no cigar. The arm is the row measure. The chain (when used) hangs as an open top loop between the plow point and the rear wheel to bury the seeds.
TrollForge Thaaat's right. Wow. It's been forever since I've seen one, and was too young to totally understand it. The one I saw was a bit different and I wanted to ride it like a hobby horse, which, after years of reflection, I think is probably *also* the wrong way to use it. 😁
Hi, TrollForge is partly right, the arm is part of the seed burying mechanism. If you look closely at the part the arm is bolted to, you will see that the part works like a ratchet every time one of those timing bolts in the rear wheel pushes on it. It works in conjunction with the automatic seed dispenser. Here is a picture showing how it should be hooked up. www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/sarnia/antique-farm-seeder/1329927858?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Thank you. I've been here for a long time and just wanted you to know how much your videos mean to me. Your content is a key part to my sleep and well being. Cheers man
I cannot imagine how it is possible to disassemble and especially reassemble a tool for the first time. Well done for you and the quality of your work! Kindly
Man I love watching your love for restoring the lost and forgotten relics!! Your humor and antics get me every time. The clanging and banging in this one got me good but the close up OG impact screwdriver made me sea-saw sick!
That’s not the way I would do it. I would cover it in releasing oil first, put it on a shelf under the bench, then talk about sorting it for the next ten years.
Just love your channel. Humor (without much talkin), learning and craftsmanship, all in one. For wanna-be's like me, it would be helpful to have more info as to what sprays and things you use at all points....the obvious for beginners is not obvious to us...again, an Outstanding outcome!!! Thank you sir.
i recently restored an old sump pump motor (15-20lbs or so) and now all i need to do is get my friend to help me with setting up a test rig. the impeller was fucked though, so it'll be repurposed for something like a chain drive on a bootleg thingy or whatever.
Neat tool! I love those old farm type implements, sometimes they are quite strange. We had a corn sheller on our porch when I was a kid and we’d take my mother’s decorative Indian corn and shell it much to her dismay. 😁
Great video! Watched with my wife and she was laughing ... she farmed for over 10 years on a small organic farm and dealt with these seeders and all their problems constantly! The part where it almost fell over made her LOL. Should have made them with a kickstand!

In my opinion, you do the absolute best restorations! You do old school procedures as much as possible while trying to maintain all parts in their original conditions as much as possible. When not, you do your best to recreate the part in its original fashion. Love your little bits of joking as well!
I had the kids avert their eyes at 17:55 Also, the legend goes that one day Hand Tool Rescue will have a swimming pool dug in his yard. When the time comes to fill it he will say no, no water. A tanker truck will appear and it will dispense in to the pool 2.5 million litres of rustoleum.
Watching you make "short-work" of these restoration projects is worth every minute. I have a lot pans with baked on grease deposits. Thanks to your videos I restored one of them to usable condition
The chain drags in a loop behind the seeder and pulls the soil back over the trench that the seeder made. It covers the seeds up. It might need weights added to it, depending on soil conditions.
Wish I was there to hang out with you, and helping you with bigger restorations. I really enjoy you bring the older equipment back to life again. Thanks for making successful restoration videos for us to learn how things were.
Exactly the right amount of product placement. Very well done SIR!!! Other youtubers could take a page out of your book. Boy do I love it when they launch into their "words from our sponsor" at the end. Like I ever hear more than half a sentence of that - I get the vibes from the changed tone of voice alone, and it's a matter of pride for me to have clicked on the next video before they manage to utter the name of their sponsor.
As ever an interesting piece of history brought back to life and saved from the scrap metal furnace. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to receiving my wrench 🔧 Peace Charlie UK 🇬🇧
Found your channel the other day and LOVE the content. Even got my kids hooked. For the last two days we sit and watch a video before I take them to school. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!
I pressed the like button at 59 seconds.. great intro, no boring loud background music.. really this is the perfect TH-cam video... a bit disappointed it hasn't hit the 1M views mark.
I watched the whole video and I still don't really understand how this thing works, does it "plant" the seeds mechanically, or does it just drop them on the ground evenly spaced..?
Jesse H. You furrowed the ground with a plow then drove this along. The small pointed shoe would slip through the loose dirt and drop seeds underneath and they'd get covered as you moved forward. The unknown clanking bit was to help time the spacing of the seeds
There is a wire missing that connects the wheel lever to the seed dropper ratchet, the timing is with the number of screws thread side to the lever (as it is set now it is 12” per seed, every other screw is facing the lever). The chain is draped from one rail to the other and drags the dirt back over the seed and the rear wheel then compacts the soil.
You don't need more vibration in that contraption, with such loose fittings and no bearings it's shaky enough when it moves. I also think it's a "counting clicker", though I'm not sure how useful that is. Overall this tool looks much too complex for the job it's designed to perform, I've seen much simpler seeders that work just as well.
299K as of 7/20/2018 1:30am est 17 hours off yours, May @Hand Tool Rescue break that 300K by morning when he wakes up. He deserves it with all the hard and educational work he shows here. Since he said he started for the money, Now did he(H.T.R.) get into restoring tools by fixing them for the money with no videos or was making videos of fixing old tool to make money the plan? TH-cam probably came later but brought many "gifts" of "I say, What in tarnation, I said what in tarnation is that?", followed up by in shop by well I'll just wd40 , evaporust and Blow touch you apart until you yields your true intentions to me.

Or at least that's the voice overs in my head for his videos at times.
The silvery finish may be tin plating. There is still a similar style of garden seeder sold, albeit made mostly of aluminum and plastic. We had one from Montgomery Wards when I was a kid in the 1970's. It sure made planting the garden easier. There are about a half dozen different seed plates for the newer version of these. The seed plates are driven by a square belt from one of the wheels, I think the silver piece is meant for a mechanical linkage from the rear wheel to the seed plate on yours.
I think it has to do with that 'missing link', that he does not know what it's for? or it could be to add weights, to make the wheel balanced or a fashion icon?
Having thought about it for ten minutes, I think I have. Since this is made up from mass produced parts, which can be used for other devices, (wheels). I think the threaded holes in the cast iron wheels, are there for that reason. Say, you need a 'fly wheel' that size? These flywheels spin very fast, & need to be 'balanced', like a car wheel, so you add a nut, here & there for it to be? Just a thought from a Scottish man. We do make the best engineers :)
If the seeders I've seen are any indication, the contraption on the back wheel, including the screws, push dirt on top of the seeds as they've been laid by the seeder.
I came to learn how to seed bacon, but then I began to wonder why this man, with his beautiful hair, beard, and smile, does not appear on camera more? I need to quit drinking while watching TH-cam. OMG, straight into double adjustable wrenches. So good.
You are an amazing at what you do man!!!! Im a carpenter and i “make” just about anything from junk and old and new materials. I love your videos thank you.
You need a rethreading set for times when you get paint into threaded holes. It's kind of like a tap and die set, only it won't cut into the threads, just clean out paint and dirt and if the threads are buggered up, realigns them. My set was one of the best investments I've made tool-wise, especially for when working on my '88 Yota and the '74 Plymouth I used to have.
Interesting machine. I imagine the part you didn't know what it was for is a wheel-raker to keep muddy soil from building up on the wheel. I don't have a shop like this but if I ever get one I won't be recording it. But there's much to be said about your work which is an art of your own making. Keep it up!
A few minutes into one of these full-on disassembles of every screw, nut, lock ring, etc., and I start stressing ("How am I ever gonna remember how all this stuff goes back together?!"). And I'm not even the one doing it! I'm stressing vicariously for you! lol
Nice touch having your small Evaporust buckets next to a fake Christmas tree and your huge outdoor Evaporust bucket next to a spruce - a.k.a. a real Christmas tree!
Have become absolutely addicted to these videos although I tended to skip through them. This one I watched "real time", the comedic relief is hilarious... I was laughing out loud at 22:34. I will have to go back and rewatch the other ones. Thanks for posting these, looking forward to more.
I have a theory that the part you were unsure about is there to scrape the back wheel to prevent the build-up of dirt and debris. Love your videos, and your sense of humour! Well done! Ra, New Zealand!
You are so hilarious in your videos. You make them fun to watch and the content is awesome and you are very knowledgeable as to what you are doing. All around great videos sir. The family and I enjoy them very very much. Thank you
Yup, if I were to design one of these, that's exactly how it would turn out. Oh, and I like the way you later used the impact driver, initially as a screwdriver, but anticipating that you would be shortly lumping 7 kinds of crap out of the thing. That's MY kind of restoration.
Japaning was all the rage back in the day. Although, this is the first time I've seen it on a metal piece. Looks like you were able to get it off. Also, nice Christmas tree!

As a vegetarian, the fact that bacon grows from seeds is the best news I've heard in years.
Best. Comment, Ever.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
That's effing brilliant!
Dr Ivo Robotnik insert a pic that will make a vegan cry
Doesn't it? The seeds are what grows into plants that are needed to feed the bacon. Bacon is kind of a seed concentrate...

haha, thank you!
@19:40 that part might just be to make a click every revolution of the wheel? for counting distance or something?
Definitely could be.
My guess is it does something with large dirt piles, but that would be more useful if the wheel's circumference was known.
I was looking at it too, it catches on the bolts in the wheel right?
Could it be to add vibrations to help the seeds "flow" more easily/consistently?
You don't need more vibration in that contraption, with such loose fittings and no bearings it's shaky enough when it moves.
I also think it's a "counting clicker", though I'm not sure how useful that is.
Overall this tool looks much too complex for the job it's designed to perform, I've seen much simpler seeders that work just as well.
I'm pretty sure it stops the wheel from turning when you pull it backwards to start a new row so it doesn't keep dropping and wasting seeds.
I'm impressed by the way the story was told here. Love your work

If by chance you’re asking what he used as a hammer there, yep, it was a chainsaw.
Never knew you could grow bacon from seeds. I'm definitely gunna plant me some of those bad boys.
Ha ha ha the LOOK in the beginning ....
I came to learn how to seed bacon, but then I began to wonder why this man, with his beautiful hair, beard, and smile, does not appear on camera more? I need to quit drinking while watching TH-cam. OMG, straight into double adjustable wrenches. So good.

You are an amazing at what you do man!!!! Im a carpenter and i “make” just about anything from junk and old and new materials. I love your videos thank you.
What about a TH-cam channel?
Once again you have done it. Restored the 'old' and given it a 'new' life, with mirth and merriment :) Cheers.
ANOTHER great upload ......another great day . THANKS I look forward to your restorations .
Thank you!
Your a very patient man! Another great restoration of a long neglected antique.
You need a rethreading set for times when you get paint into threaded holes. It's kind of like a tap and die set, only it won't cut into the threads, just clean out paint and dirt and if the threads are buggered up, realigns them. My set was one of the best investments I've made tool-wise, especially for when working on my '88 Yota and the '74 Plymouth I used to have.
I loved seeing the brazed part. Someone used and took care of this tool before you restored it.
Nicely done. Gotta say agriculture has come a long way over the years. Thanks for the video.
I really like the way you used sound to bring the video together! You don't need talking when you have cool sound effects LOL
I am just so excited that there is finally a giant tub of Evapo-Rust!
Me too, me too.
Interesting machine. I imagine the part you didn't know what it was for is a wheel-raker to keep muddy soil from building up on the wheel. I don't have a shop like this but if I ever get one I won't be recording it. But there's much to be said about your work which is an art of your own making. Keep it up!
A few minutes into one of these full-on disassembles of every screw, nut, lock ring, etc., and I start stressing ("How am I ever gonna remember how all this stuff goes back together?!"). And I'm not even the one doing it! I'm stressing vicariously for you! lol
Haha, relax and enjoy!
Nice touch having your small Evaporust buckets next to a fake Christmas tree and your huge outdoor Evaporust bucket next to a spruce - a.k.a. a real Christmas tree!
you have got to love the Era when tools were maintained and repaired. If the world goes Stone Age YOU will have valuable CHOPS AWESOME
I usually use my drill as a hammer, but that chainsaw deadblow is next level!
I had to rewind and check again. I thought "chainsaw????". Sure enough. Only a few frames. An Easter egg for the viewers. Tee Hee.
What a strange contraption with another worldly look... but hey it looks brand new now! 😄
Interesting to see a mix of square and hex nuts in assembly. Also, you missed a flat washer where the wing nut is. Great content as always.
I bought some evaporust for some radio restoration work I do. Awesome stuff. Thanks so much.
It's addictive!
I always find these restoration videos to be oddly satisying.
Have become absolutely addicted to these videos although I tended to skip through them. This one I watched "real time", the comedic relief is hilarious... I was laughing out loud at 22:34. I will have to go back and rewatch the other ones. Thanks for posting these, looking forward to more.
I really enjoy the silliness...along with restoration
I have a theory that the part you were unsure about is there to scrape the back wheel to prevent the build-up of dirt and debris. Love your videos, and your sense of humour! Well done! Ra, New Zealand!
Found your channel about a month ago. You turned me on to evaporust, that stuff is great. Thanks
You are so hilarious in your videos. You make them fun to watch and the content is awesome and you are very knowledgeable as to what you are doing. All around great videos sir. The family and I enjoy them very very much. Thank you
Yup, if I were to design one of these, that's exactly how it would turn out. Oh, and I like the way you later used the impact driver, initially as a screwdriver, but anticipating that you would be shortly lumping 7 kinds of crap out of the thing. That's MY kind of restoration.
I didn't realize how much antique stuff was square head nuts until this channel
Japaning was all the rage back in the day. Although, this is the first time I've seen it on a metal piece. Looks like you were able to get it off. Also, nice Christmas tree!
This thing had so many more parts than I anticipated 😯👍
