Thanks for the interesting video. I noticed the piston is shaped differently on each side, and you reinstalled it 180 degrees from what it was. Might run better if the inlet gases are pushed up toward the head by the sharp "scoop" side of the piston. Seemed to run fairly well the way you installed it though. Thanks again for the great videos!
Rich, I'm an 80 year old 'gear head'. Still change the oil and grease the front end on my vehicle. Thank you so much for these videos. I really enjoy them. AND, your sound effects really put a smile on my old face. thank you. Bruce Ray. from the USA.
Deflector on the piston goes on the transfer port side. To loop the new charge up while exhaust has the long ramped side. Same way it came out. You're throwing away a few inch/pounds at least from the bottom end, and you didn't get many to start with..
And a Simar, and a beautiful car, my old man had one, and he did anything about it, you never give up these machines. Greetings from Ticino, Switzerland.
Hi! Nice to hear from you. Got an Model A myself, i think it was a 1930. Modified to a tractor back in 1951. Sold it last year. They are really good cars for their time. Durable i would say. Thanks /Richard
Looks like it does the job as well as a new one. My hat is off to you for salvaging these interesting machines from a time gone by (keeping in mind that I'm about the same age as that tiller).
Hi! Have to ask because we share the same name, Richard Andersson. Do you have relatives from Sweden? Often Andersson became Anderson when they moved to US. Same thing with Johansson. Became Johnson etc. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery The answer is yes and no. My family name definitely came from Sweden, but we haven't been able to trace it back to find a living connection. Too many generations and too many missing records. While most immigrants from Scandinavia were reasonably educated, mine weren't, leading to a shortage of written documents to draw on. The fact that my grandfather ran away from home at age 12 (circa 1902), and had no further contact with his family just makes it that much harder. Since no two marriages in my ancestors seem to come from the same ethnic stock, at this point I'm just a plain old American mutt with mixed Western European heritage.
Put an small homemade trailer after the maschine and normal tyres on ist. Than you have a nice working maschine for garden and farm . Your children will be love drive in the woods on sundays . I use an Holder Ed2 or an Hako system trac with a small trailer from the 50er in garden 😎😉
We had a two cylinder iron wheel monster predate to any rototiller, Dad parked it against and old diseased apple tree started it up and pushed the tree over with it I enjoyed your effort
I want a front end loader bucket full of old machines to play with too! Neat design. Beautiful machine. Also sticks and carboard boxes, best childhood toys ever!
🇬🇧😷🇬🇧 piston is 180 / degrees out : the ring gap does not pass across the ports , also the crank shaft And or the piston gudgeon bore is off set in relation to the centre line of the bore , this has the effect of reducing the load on the thrust side of the piston , also it exaggerates the length of the power stroke , So this engine does. Not have a proper TDC , and the side. load on the piston is greater on the way up the bore but it is of small moment as it is. Not under load , I did not mean to bore you all 🤔 ,but I think you should be informed of the design of this engine , 😀 peace be with you , and stay safe , 🌹🌹🇬🇧😷
Love seeing these old dogs brought back to life. I was a young apprentice for VW in the early 70's and seeing the oil-bath air filter brought many memories back. Similarly the points and so on which were like some of the older VW's I worked on when I had my own garage. Great stuff and I look forward to more of these 'restorations'. Cheers from Canada North where we're almost out of snow now.....well....ALMOST
I love those Videos. I like seeing what's inside and how to handle the problems that come along... idk why. So much to observe and learn. Awesome teaching and chill man.. Thumps up👌👍😎
I really like your little blue English Ford car. In 1967 I bought one in California USA and drove it back and forth to high school until 1969 when I sold it and went into the US Navy.
My father used machines like this and bigger diesel when we went around and used them in peoples gardens. Got some extra income, which was always welcome. That was in the early 1970th around Hofors, Storvik and around that area. Great machines. Used tires though, as it was easier to move between customers. I think the older ones had iron wheels though. The first started with band like this, but the later we had to turn. And one had to be careful, so it didn't start in reverse, as then it would accelerate. So if started reveresed, the handle get stuck and one had to try to sneek in the hand to the valve lifter so the machine stoped.
I have a rototiller brand garden tractor very similar to your simar built in the 30's.I believe that it was inspired by the simar, even uses the same type flat belt to start it.The tines on it are spring mounted pick type which do a fantastic job, much better than the solid blade type used on most modern garden tractors today. I believe your simar had similar tines.I believe that if you can find the original tine setup you will find they will work much better than what is on there now. Great job on getting your simar running.
@@paulhitchcock9760: I read a bunch of comments but didn't see anyone mentioning it, so I thought I'd tell him. Good to know that there are more eagle eyed people here. :-))
great way to learn how things work to the kids! Great environment for them also, and especially for building character and knowledge! awesome dad, definitely! :)
I like what you do. It's all up my street. Been a fitter all my life on machinery. Small to massive. Now boats are my hobby. But i still love engineering.
Hi Richard, hope you and your family are well and ok. What another great video, Thank you so much for sharing. I don't know how much your petrol (Gas) costs where you are but here in the U.K its gone through the roof. Hope all this sadness and fighting ends really soon. Keep up your great work my dear friend and take good care.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Very well done again and as always (video and work). I like these versatile 1 axle tractors. All you need now is a little trailer with a bench seat. And two new tires for the machine. The kids would love to be driven around in such a vehicle. There had even been PTO driven trailers in the days when a lot of these machines had been used from farmers with no budget for a big tractor. Or from farmers in the Alps (with steep grassland). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Well done Richard! And it's nice to see the kids helping. That machine is similar to the Frazer Rototiller here in the states that dates from about the same time period. I've owned a few- same type of design and the tiller tines were spring mounted as you said. Interesting.
Hey buddy, love your channel & really appreciate the way you explain & do things, very practical & informative. I have to live & work in the modern world but love yesterday's. Good work & thanks
I really enjoy seeing old equipment from other countries, I live in the USA. Many of your countries machines are similar to ours but still a little different in some ways. Its kind of interesting. Take good care of that little girl and thanks for another good video
Love to watch you repair these great pieces of History. Back when Machine's were made to last. And thank you for being a great Dad. Your Children will remember you fondly. Liked,shared. All my very best to you and yours.
Yes, i could have made new ring in the lathe. But that takes like 4-5 hours of machining and making a new jig etc witch i have to do every time i make rings of different sizes. But i spent like 1h tapping and working the rings. Way faster than making new ones. You have to be patient tho. /Richard
First time seeing your channel but very informative I thought when you first pull that out it was a David Bradley so it’s cool to see that there’s other machines like this that we used in the states
Yes, for a small farm i think it was a dream. Dont know what it did cost back then, but compared with a real tractor it was probably not much. /Richard
I spent a few hours operating one of these machines in the 1950s and 1960s. Dad had one for his very productive 2-acre garden in Gisborne, NewZealand. It is now in the hands of an old machinery collector, still in Gisborne.
Hello Richard i like your Channel ,to watch the running of the old stuff, i,ve got also a small Channel Coldstart Creij in the Netherlands. Thanks for the movies👍👍
Being a Dad is such a wonderful experience. Good for you..
I love that you care about the machine running again and not the "cosmetics" of your work. Good for you.
Yes! Thank you! /Richard

Right? Totally screwed it up.
no, it looks like it was wrongly assembled, and he re-installed it correctly?

Another oldie but goodie. Just don't forget your steel toed boots when using the "rotary tiller". Thanks for the vid!
Great video!!!!!! It is nice to see someone who knows what they are doing.!!!!
The length of the stroke and the massiveness of the flywheel are impressive! So cool you got it running!
Yes the stroke is impressive 😊😊 /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery 😂😂
Beautiful old tractor.
Great old 2 stroke rotortiler Richard, the engine sounds so crisp, thank for sharing
Very cool...older the better
True. /Richard
Now that's a tiller, I could have used that last week. You are right about keeping the kids busy and outside away from the internet and social media.
Yes i hope to fix the crop field this week. /Richard
I think if you rebuild the tiller end with new tines it will do a much better job of tilling the soil. Should be a very useful machine for you...
I like seeing old things brought back to life.
Wow spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video 👍
Watching how well you get the machines to perform, it makes one wonder why they were left to rust at all. Great video!
That's hard no! I see a shop and it's filled with many thousands worth of tools and equipment.
buen arreglo richard saludos desde españa
Now I see where Troy-Bilt borrowed their line of tiller models.
Regards from Kopparberg Sweden!
Nice to hear from Sweden! /Richard
Richard, it is such a pleasure watching you breath new life into these old machines, and you actually put them to work. Great stuff!
Thanks, this one will work quite hard now in the crop field! /Richard
Great video!!
With warm spring-greetings from Bohuslän.
Tack! Kul att höra från Bohuslän 🙂
First time I watched your channel. Tryelly enjoyed it .

Grand old machine made with quality and pride. Nice job.
The belt as the pull start. What a smart idea 💡
Yes, works but i like a rope better. But this is original 😊 /Richard

Interesting piston and ring design to ensure the ring gaps never line up.
Yes, first time i have seen this design. A small piece of brass just inserted and bent on the inside of the piston. Quite clever.
To keep them from falling in to the ports. 2 stroke
@@daleolson3506 Exactly, can't have the ring gaps line up with the ports.
Most 2 strokes have this.
Ahh...OK. Never made any opportunities to work on any 2-strokes. Didn't know that, Thank you.
What a long stroke, for a two-stroke engine!
Yes, i think the longest iv'e seen! Kind of extrem.
Put an small homemade trailer after the maschine and normal tyres on ist. Than you have a nice working maschine for garden and farm . Your children will be love drive in the woods on sundays . I use an Holder Ed2 or an Hako system trac with a small trailer from the 50er in garden 😎😉

Nice with good memories! When i woke up today there was new snow again.. Now i just want spring 😁
You amaze me with your mechanical skills. Couldn't believe that started with one pull on the starting strap.
It actually starts on first everytime. Runs like a dream. The mains have a bad noice tho... /Richard

Very interesting video of a powerhouse little tractor. Really chews up the soil. Hope you're having a good Spring.
Thanks wish you a great spring as well! /Richard
Love your work. Keep going as long as it's fun for you. Thank you for your entertainment.
Thanks mate! /Richard
It really does a good job tilling. Cool old machine. Thanks for showing us
What a great job you do with those things that are old and give them life.
I believe you installed the piston backward it was turned the other way when you removed it from the connecting rod at the start of the video.
