I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR AND DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE! YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER/MECHANIC! YOU HAVE A VERY SPECIAL, DEEP AND SWEET WAY OF SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE! YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH! THANK YOU FOR DOING THESE WONDERFUL VIDEOS! 10/10!!!
U R Sooo right Toby, I too have learned alot from a fine well learned man with a passion for these engines, I like that he has 2 cats and his humor. Anyone who gives him a thumbs down has their head up their muffler.
TARYL IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS, WHEN HE MIMICS VIEWERS WITH A HIGH PITCHED VOICE, WHO CRITICIZE HIS METHOD OF REPAIR.... BEST GUY TO WATCH AND LEARN WHILE GETTING ENTERTAINED.
I don't know if you have ever watched chickanic but she's really good. You can learn from her about the two cycle engines. Like your leaf blowers your weed wackers your two cycled engines.
Thanks to this video I pulled out my 1973 sears rototiller, just like the one featured, and put in a new electronic coil, new carb and fuel lines, changed the fluids and after 20 years of sitting ...it runs like a swiss watch. Smooth. Thanks Taryl for your wisdom (That is your smarts)
Taryl's small engine & machine videos are quite excellent. He does a great job of explaining what the problems with the machine are..how to fix those problems and what parts & tools you'll need. The video quality and detail he shows you is tops. This is your small engine "go to" guy in my opinion. I've learned things about equipment from this guy I dont even own...but if I did I know now who the first guy is who will have the answers to point me in the right direction. Thanx Taryl...good job bud!
You got a subscription from me. Nice to see a real mechanic fixing problems instead of just defaulting to replacing everything with new and often expensive parts
I must say THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO WORK ON OUR LAWNMOWERS. THANK YOU FOR THE WAY YOU MAKE WATCHING YOU MAKE US LAUGH WITH YOUR HUMOR, THANK YOU I LIKE WHEN YOU DO YOUR SHOWS. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME HAVE BIG LAUGHS.
It's the crazy animation effects that made Spongebob Squarepants not just a great cartoon, but a fantastic cartoon. Your sound effects alone make every episode fantastic.
Taryl, we love watching your videos. My husband had one of these tillers, from brand new. Used it up till 10 yrs ago. The lower unit developed a hole. But a wonderful tiller. He really enjoyed watching you fix it.
You are the best small engine repairman ever. I grew up on the farm in the 50s and know how to fix things so I respect you because what you do makes perfect sense.
So good to see a true mechanic that has the skill to fix things. Most today are only remove and replace. Thank you for the effort to document what you do to inform us. Cheers!
I am very proud of the Dactal family for many reasons. First, you had an idea, and then you finished it. Second, you blabbed all the secrets of small engines. Third, you gave us the confidence to work on our own stuff. With your guidance, I took a 1977 chain case of a Yard Man tiller completely apart and fixed it with a 5/8" top shaft I had to get made. After I put the engine back on (135202) PulsaJet carbitrator---- It actually worked!!! I owe most of my gumption to you. I now collect a certain brand of metal toy that was extremely popular from Mound, Minn. --so Slippers does have SOME sense. Thank you for realizing your TH-cam dream. Now TH-cam can build a second story onto your shop!
Terminator-tiller😎(killer-tiller)was a EXCELLENT video Tayrl. The tiller in this video was definitely worth a 6-pack of 🍺 beer and I don't even 🍸 drink,I would have bought the guy a 12 pack of beer and told him to"keep the change".HAHA!!. That tiller will last almost forever the way its built(like a tank)and most of the time your only going to use it twice a year for brief periods of time anyway(spring planting/fall harvest),unlike your lawn mower. I was noticing after you were using the"Z"bender Tayrl,you didn't"temper"that end of the throttle cable.Alot of mfg.'s"temper"both ends of the cable because that's a wear-and-tear stress point.(No big deal,it was just an observation) Back in 1974 lawn/garden equipment was made alot better in general,thicker and better steel,NO PLASTIC,alot more machined steel gears,more cast iron in the engines too. AND THERES YOUR DINNER!!.
This man is already taking Hollywood by storm, chosen by vanity fair as the sexiest man mechanic alive, , ladies once you lay your eyes on his drive train, nothing else matters, and trust me he has the horsepower to backup that drive train. ALL JOKING ASIDE WHEN I NEED HELP ON A MECHANICAL ISSUE THIS IS THE MAN TO SEE, he makes every task seem so much easier than i view it as. He is a walking library of knowledge, if i had to choose one only one man on a mission to mars for a year it would be none other than this man. And Taryl i mean that with the deepest respect, i have learned more from watching your videos than from any other source, hell you have probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know, and you are always right , and by the way we named our last child after you as a tribute to the greatness that you possess. THANK YOU sir you have pulled me out of some real repairs that i just couldn't figure out , this world would be a sad place without you in it. Take care of yourself you will want to be around in 2025 that will be the year that the grays will come out openly for all to meet and they will be bringing gifts so we stop burning fossil fuel, because everything we do here affects other worlds , they tried to explain it to our leaders but they continued to burn fossil fuel anyway , kickbacks from oil companies, and they plan on sharing all the tech they have learned over the centuries with us for saving their civilization by sharing our DNA material with them , they had reached a place so sad that they could no longer reproduce, and cloning is only a band-aid on a huge wound, they are from the multiverse a world identical to ours from the beginning but since time moves at a much faster rate they are way past us by thousands of years, they are explorers, just like we will be one day, just like all advanced civilizations its what they do, they told and showed us that their are an infinite universes just like this one , they were created all at the very same time from the big bang, we call their home another dimension, our scientist thought their were only 12 dimensions , a few got it right , the rest will be in for the shock of a life time, and all move at different rates of time, some slower than a tutle some are still cooling off , and others are producing GODS because of the speed at which time flows and evolution has taken over, when a being reaches the use of the brain at 100% they are considered a GOD because they can produce matter out of thin air using only their mind, we are currently using only 10% of our brain, the grays will increase that by 10 % each generation , they have already started.
Mr. Taryl, you are a very talented mechanic! It is very fun and educational to watch you work. You have taught me soooooooo much! I have always struggled with small engines, and it amazes me to see you work that thing over so fast, and it runs like a champ! God bless you, please keep up the great work!
I sure wish that there was some serious minded young guys coming along that wanted to learn and work. Most can’t put the weed, cellphones and video games down long enough to concentrate. We’re in a mess. I’d just about turn my business over to a serious young man that wanted to learn and WORK.
Tayrl,I have my dads 1950 David Bradley(sold by Sears and Roebuck)it has NEVER had the engine taken apart,(1.5hp.Briggs/Stratton rope start)it STILL HAS the original spark plug in it and it STILL RUNS and it doesn't burn a drop of oil either...NO JOKE!!.
What a feeling when she starts right up. My father had a rental store 50s to the late seventies, I watched and learned how to do this. The small things that make the difference. Great vid.
Hello Robert Huff, Yup ur right, I can watch these vids for hours at a time, then when wrkg on an engine I start to remember things I watched Taryl do when he's wrkg on a particular issue.
I just found your channel today and I love it. I am a small engine mechanic myself and I can tell you really love it as much as I do. Keep up the great work and videos, I going to by some apparel to support the channel!
I used to use carb cleaner as a starting fluid, but I switched over to using a spray bottle with some two cycle gas in it. It provides a bit of lube for the top end, especially on engines like this one that has been sitting for quite a while. And yes, carb cleaner in the eyes really burns! And if you happen to have the official small Briggs flywheel puller, it has the right hardware for pulling those float valve seats. You just have to provide your own spacer tube. Excellent video as always Taryl! That’s pretty much the same procedure I use when something like this back to life. My Dad used to always tell me, spark, fuel, and compression and it’ll run..
Brilliant video. The best part is that you give the part no.'s. I got an old 1973 Lawn Boy Snow blower with the same engine. This video has helped me immensely to get it up and running again.
Great stuff, Taryl. As you said, they don't make things like they used too. That 1972 Sears Rototiller is built like a tank! That is the year I hired into GM. 30 years and out and haven't looked back sense. Those days are long gone. I was given a 1966 Simplicity Landlord 101 by my neighbor about 24 years ago. It's all original. I did touch up some of the white paint, which was pretty rusty looking. New tires and fuel lines and a new carburetor. Oh yes, it needed new spark plug, points and condenser as well. It came with a 42 in mower deck and a dozer blade. A set of chains for the rear ties too. It still starts right up and runs quite well for an original engine. I have never done a compression test to see how much compression it has. I had to replace the axle seals, which were leaking. Like you said that old stuff is built extremely strong compared to today's equipment. I mainly use the Simplicity Landlord to move my utility trailer from the back storage building to where I can hook it up to my Yukon. Your videos are very entertaining as well very informative. If I need to work on any of my machines, I look to find one of your videos, which covers just about every subject.
So I watch these types of videos religiously. Small engine, atv, auto shop, etc. I usually fall asleep to whatever is playing on TH-cam (I rarely watch cable or Netflix anymore). Yesterday I wake up at 5 am pretty groggy, barely awake, and glance at the tv with eyes still crusty from sleep and I see this guy fixing engines and I cannot recognize his voice. The camera pans up and I see this crazy guy with Austin powers teeth and I stare for a few seconds thinking is this real or satire? I fall back asleep I guess and when I wake up I assumed it was a dream. A few hours later I come upstairs from working on an atv and TH-cam is playing for my dogs (drowns out air compressor noises). Guess who’s face I see !? Needless to say I sit down and watch the video and holy crap he’s not only funny but super knowledgeable. I love the combination of humor and teaching. Great concept. I’ve been binge watching for the last two days. Not only are you recording everything you’re doing but you’re also talking through each step. Very awesome for someone who needs help with any of these machines.
I bet Taryl could set the rpm by sound. It’s great to see people pass on how we fixed equipment back in the day. Don’t need special tools for everything. I would rather find an old tiller than some of this new stuff they have. My dad had an old 70 something tiller and that thing would tear through the dirt with ease and have good gardening soil in no time. That’s for the video and glad I found your channel.
Taryl, ur a real Gas, I know it must take some time to make these and with the sound effects, like saying the gas tank is clean as a whistle, an some1 blows a whiste, U sir are a man with a passion for ur work, very much appreciated.
Awesome video Taryl.... lubing the cables thru the steel case who da known.. your humor wit and mechanical genius is only surpassed by your good looks...
Taryl, I have learned that you are the ' go to guy ' to learn about small engine repairs. I think this video is one of the best . I am one those guys that love older anything. I am a firm believer that the older engines, and accessories were made to last longer than the new stuff. I look every day for older equipment and tools being sold.. I don't need any of it, but I love to own it and work on it ! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent ... PS : including the parts replacement number is a HUGE help too !
A good additional step to your tank cleaning with vinegar and bolts at 21:20, I'd do that, but jack up the rear wheels of a rider, bungee strap the tank to the side of the wheel, start the mower, throw it in gear, and let it power clean the tank. Lol
Thanks Mr Taryl....I like fixing stuff just to see if i can.I like all your videos,and i think what you teach is great.you not only teach your STUDENTS {VIEWERS} how to repair specific motors etc,you teach them THE METHOD of thinking HOW one thing affects another thing.That is the hardest thing for people to learn.And you make it FUN>>>thanks
I think we got a glimpse into what Taryl cut his teeth on, literally and figuratively, as he was starting out doing small engines. lol 40 years is a long time to do anything. Definitely appreciate you passing on the knowledge. There’s nothing like an entertaining and FREE education!
Wow,great video...iv'e rebuilt close to 500 car and truck engines but when it came to my 350 Honda bike and my lawn mower repair i got scared.Now thank's to you ,i'm going to try and fix my lawnmower revving up and down like a boat in the ocean,thanks buddy
yea sears didn't make that tiller, they just sold it. sears has been dead for years, I wish they'd just shut it down and be done with it, all they're doing now is running the name into the ground
Excellent video, I like the old school stuff. Have you worked on any of the new EFI small engines yet? I had one in my shop and had to tell the guy to go back to where he bought it, as I don't have any experience on them yet. Hope to get some schooling on them. thanks
Another excellent dinner! Totally agree about dwindling build quality! I have a "Howard 350" and a "Howard Bantam" - they have gears in them like you'd see in a good quality auto gearbox - and they're over 50 years old. Keep 'em coming Taryl and atb from over the pond!
When there was still QUALITY around.. I like this old stuff, it's worth keeping it running while Mr neighbor, or FRAUD Ronnie, jerks around with this plastic EZ-wurks stuff.
You are an amazing mechanic! No One does a better job explaining, and no one makes better videos than you. Thanks for all your time and effort! Lastly you are the most entertaining U-Tuber Ever.
Taryl don't you wish everything was as simple to work on like the old days pre 1980. I wish new cars had an engine this simple to fix or maintain! Lol RotoKilla! Man I'm glad I never locked one in reverse! Rip to anyone killed by the RotoKilla!!!
Hard as a carb! Best be changing that! You the man! I have about 40 of these engines ranging from 3.5hp to 10hp and I have been using all your tips and tricks to get them running like new again for future hotrod mini bike and go kart projects. I really liked the micro jet drill video you had. I bought a set for myself and it makes life easy when swapping carbs after intake and exhaust mods. Can really tune up these old engines. Keep the videos coming you were a better teacher then the ones in my university. Much appreciated and very entertaining.
Super video Taryl! Got my 1950 Locke reel GreensKeeper mower working again following your fine instruct-ty-Ones! Just Super my AMIGO! thanks so much. Art in CT
I have this same tiller but a 1977. Got it non running from a neighbor after it sat for many years. No spark and a dirty carbitrater. I replaced the points, cleaned the carb and she runs great. Had to weld some metal pieces to the tines as they were worn out but it works great!
Great video. Not only good to see how to fix stuff....but extremely entertaining. You are great at both. Thanks for the info and tips. You are the "Tom Brady" of small engines and Mechanics.
Wish I ran across this video about 3 days ago.. I have an old 1975 tiller just like that one from Sears. (Choke setup is different) The coil wire looks like it blew up, have no ideal how that heavy wire was broke in the middle and the insulation was, well, look like a monster chewed it up and down. I did NOT know about taking the high gas needle seat out before pulling the carb apart.. I hope I got that back in without damage. It's back in. I'll get my parts later this week so I'll see how things go.. I really loved the video, a lot of good tips..
Taryl I have a tiller that is around a 1958 or so put a 3.5 hp tecumish on it 30 yrs ago ,stolen from my younger brother off his mini bike lol , have a great holiday , ps just replaced the gear box seals this spring all is well ,from your friend Thom in the Motor City, Detroit Michigan, (retired auto mechanic of 50 yrs.) love your videos very educational.

Just what I thought :D
All well and good now tell us about his good points

He's pretty good except for his teeth. Obviously not good at oral hygiene
Agreed
I've watched all your video's at least twice. You are the king of the World Wide Web.
One of the best channels I’ve seen for small engine and mower repair, good job👍🏻
Still good stuff a year later!! Love watching his videos
dude this is taryl we are talking about
He is the best.
Don't put a predator on it hehe
TARYL IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS,
WHEN HE MIMICS VIEWERS WITH A HIGH PITCHED VOICE,

The music and sound effects are hilarious!
I don't know if you have ever watched chickanic but she's really good. You can learn from her about the two cycle engines. Like your leaf blowers your weed wackers your two cycled engines.

This is one of my favorite videos Taryl, it features multiple fixes on one machine.
You can learn so much stuff from you Taryl thanks for sharing. from the UK
I've learned so much over the years by watching his videos and now I can fix just about anything. I said just about anyting

At 20:51 he shakes tank..lol
I bet Taryl could set the rpm by sound. It’s great to see people pass on how we fixed equipment back in the day. Don’t need special tools for everything. I would rather find an old tiller than some of this new stuff they have. My dad had an old 70 something tiller and that thing would tear through the dirt with ease and have good gardening soil in no time. That’s for the video and glad I found your channel.
I like u working on the older stuf
TARYL YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD,,,,,,,,YOU GOT TONES OF GOOD INFORMATION.........ANTONIO CAUSIN FLORIDA
Great Video on an old Briggs Engine .....LIKE how you screwed Ronnie on the check
Taryl, ur a real Gas, I know it must take some time to make these and with the sound effects,
like saying the gas tank is clean as a whistle, an some1 blows a whiste, U sir are a man with
a passion for ur work, very much appreciated.
You earned a new subscriber for that one. The guitar background music is perfect.
Awesome video Taryl.... lubing the cables thru the steel case who da known.. your humor wit and mechanical genius is only surpassed by your good looks...
Thanks for the great video with the thorough explanation of how to get it done!
Its very refreshing to see a guy that actually repairs equipment not just replaces parts. Rock on mate.
Now this is a cool way to spend a rainy Sunday morning. Great job Taryl , now go find another nut.
Taryl, I have learned that you are the ' go to guy ' to learn about small engine repairs. I think this video is one of the best . I am one those guys that love older anything. I am a firm believer that the older engines, and accessories were made to last longer than the new stuff. I look every day for older equipment and tools being sold.. I don't need any of it, but I love to own it and work on it ! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent ... PS : including the parts replacement number is a HUGE help too !
A good additional step to your tank cleaning with vinegar and bolts at 21:20, I'd do that, but jack up the rear wheels of a rider, bungee strap the tank to the side of the wheel, start the mower, throw it in gear, and let it power clean the tank. Lol
this man is full off of very interesting and clear instructions a must have 100%
Over an hour?! A lot of planning went into this one. Nice job! You have enough leftover footage for a future outtakes video.
Thanks Mr Taryl....I like fixing stuff just to see if i can.I like all your videos,and i think what you teach is great.you not only teach your STUDENTS {VIEWERS} how to repair specific motors etc,you teach them THE METHOD of thinking HOW one thing affects another thing.That is the hardest thing for people to learn.And you make it FUN>>>thanks
"Scroto" tiller! LMBO. I can see that thing crawling up somebodies pants leg!! Funny stuff!!
I think we got a glimpse into what Taryl cut his teeth on, literally and figuratively, as he was starting out doing small engines. lol 40 years is a long time to do anything. Definitely appreciate you passing on the knowledge. There’s nothing like an entertaining and FREE education!
If you get an old one that's squealin', it just means she's grateful.....
Wow,great video...iv'e rebuilt close to 500 car and truck engines but when it came to my 350 Honda bike and my lawn mower repair i got scared.Now thank's to you ,i'm going to try and fix my lawnmower revving up and down like a boat in the ocean,thanks buddy
I'm waiting on a Steiner/Ventrec video...OH yeah!!.(27 hp.three cylinder turbo diesel)
You Guys are the best I enjoy all your humor and your extensive knowledge of small engines. Thanks again
Sears end of an era
yea sears didn't make that tiller, they just sold it.
sears has been dead for years, I wish they'd just shut it down and be done with it, all they're doing now is running the name into the ground
@@guyina4x499 It is shut down lmao, They no longer exist.
Great to see a master craftsman at work. Rare these days to see someone who can actually fix something.
Many high quality business cards work for the gap for the magneto as well?
Das Faust or a playing card
Ace of spades was my card of choice
Thanks I have the same old beast. Haven't used it in years. Time for some TLC.
Love the long video!!!!!!
Now that's old school craftsmanship and quality.. Thanks for another great video.
Great video
I love your teaching style Taryl. I wouldn’t listen to that person he keeps saying why don’t you do this or that, they know nothing😀
Excellent video, I like the old school stuff. Have you worked on any of the new EFI small engines yet? I had one in my shop and had to tell the guy to go back to where he bought it, as I don't have any experience on them yet. Hope to get some schooling on them. thanks
Another excellent dinner! Totally agree about dwindling build quality! I have a "Howard 350" and a "Howard Bantam" - they have gears in them like you'd see in a good quality auto gearbox - and they're over 50 years old. Keep 'em coming Taryl and atb from over the pond!
Great video Taryl. Where can I get one of those tach like that??
you are the no 1
Incredibe video. My lifetime goal is to learn half as much as you know before I die. You are something.
wow good video ,, how much do you charge the guy for this work ?
THANKS Ed from Loretto ont. north of toronto ontario Can.
I ask the same, what's a fair price to charge for this type job?
Labor costs are totally different, depending on where you live.
Yet another great video from taryl and the boys we love you here in good old England. Keep up the great work you do Taryl.
👍👍👍
When there was still QUALITY around.. I like this old stuff, it's worth keeping it running while Mr neighbor, or FRAUD Ronnie, jerks around with this plastic EZ-wurks stuff.
Right everything nowadays is made out of plastic junk even the new Briggs has a lot of plastic
The best small engine diagnoses on the inner screen hands down.. you've helped alot of people... (hard as a carp) lmfao!!! Your the man!!
I was 15 years old then. I miss those days, everything was simple, no computers, no cell phones, no self-driving cars, no woke dopes. Life was great!
Great Video Taryl. Really appreciate the step by step procedure.
Wow they had metal carburetor floats that’s really heavy duty
Francois Deshue agreed
Francois Deshue as long as you take care of it it shouldn’t be a problem
Brass float
You are an amazing mechanic! No One does a better job explaining, and no one makes better videos than you. Thanks for all your time and effort! Lastly you are the most entertaining U-Tuber Ever.
Third place it is!!
Taryl don't you wish everything was as simple to work on like the old days pre 1980. I wish new cars had an engine this simple to fix or maintain! Lol RotoKilla! Man I'm glad I never locked one in reverse! Rip to anyone killed by the RotoKilla!!!
Second
Hard as a carb! Best be changing that! You the man! I have about 40 of these engines ranging from 3.5hp to 10hp and I have been using all your tips and tricks to get them running like new again for future hotrod mini bike and go kart projects. I really liked the micro jet drill video you had. I bought a set for myself and it makes life easy when swapping carbs after intake and exhaust mods. Can really tune up these old engines. Keep the videos coming you were a better teacher then the ones in my university. Much appreciated and very entertaining.
Super video Taryl! Got my 1950 Locke reel GreensKeeper mower working again following your fine instruct-ty-Ones! Just Super my AMIGO! thanks so much. Art in CT
You're videos are some of the best I've seen, clear, precise, and close up and with great explanations!
Charles Holt , that would be "Your videos", but yes, they are great.
Thanks so much , all the crew lol . You guy's are 2 thumbs Up. Thanks Taryl
Great Job Taryl. Thanks for sharing you knowledge, and great humor.
I really appreciate your attention to detail, I have learned things about small engines that I had know idea about.
I have this same tiller but a 1977. Got it non running from a neighbor after it sat for many years. No spark and a dirty carbitrater. I replaced the points, cleaned the carb and she runs great. Had to weld some metal pieces to the tines as they were worn out but it works great!
love this you are not just a great mechanic you have me in stitches. thanks you for what you do.
Great video. Not only good to see how to fix stuff....but extremely entertaining. You are great at both. Thanks for the info and tips. You are the "Tom Brady" of small engines and Mechanics.
AWESOME VIDEO, love watching him repairing it all. great teacher.
Wish I ran across this video about 3 days ago.. I have an old 1975 tiller just like that one from Sears. (Choke setup is different) The coil wire looks like it blew up, have no ideal how that heavy wire was broke in the middle and the insulation was, well, look like a monster chewed it up and down. I did NOT know about taking the high gas needle seat out before pulling the carb apart.. I hope I got that back in without damage. It's back in. I'll get my parts later this week so I'll see how things go.. I really loved the video, a lot of good tips..
This was a great fix Taryl , I do so many of the same things you do , like using carb cleaner to see if it'll run ... I learned a lot , thank you Sir!
Taryl I have a tiller that is around a 1958 or so put a 3.5 hp tecumish on it 30 yrs ago ,stolen from my younger brother off his mini bike lol , have a great holiday , ps just replaced the gear box seals this spring all is well ,from your friend Thom in the Motor City, Detroit Michigan, (retired auto mechanic of 50 yrs.) love your videos very educational.
What kind of oil did you put back into the tiller gearbox?
Watching all these for the entertainment. 🤣 I might even try to fix something. 🤩
Taryl has the best video's I've watched on youtube . i would luv to have the whole collection on CD to pass down to my great grand kids 🤔🤗
