      @Venena Religio Est If the Wright brothers wouldn't have done the first flight, someone else would have. If Columbus hadn't "discovered" the Americas, someone else would (well they already had).
      Brittan got a headstart, but the industrial revolution would still have happened.
      To be clear, I love that English quirky shit!

    My father after selling the family textile business bought into an engineering and iron foundry. They had one of these Autotrucks with a single cylinder 8HP Lister diesel for taking castings from the foundry to the machine shop for finishing. This had a thing like a horizontal steel ships wheel on top of the engine, which sat in a very large ring bearing above the single front wheel. To reverse, you just turned the whole engine and transmission (chain drive) through 180º using the ships wheel . At 90º you could do very slow doughnuts. Starting the diesel on a cold day in the north of Scotland, needed the largest man in the works, to spin the flywheel as fast as possible, while some else tripped the compression release and squirted in model airplane ether based fuel into the air intake. The Albion gearbox is similar to those used on Pashley delivery trikes, which used Royal Enfield engines, except that they often had a reverse, not needed on the Autotrucks.

    If you use your hole punch on the “end grain” of a block, it will stay sharp almost forever. The holes you punch will be cleaner, and easier to cut clear through.
    When punching against the grain. Punch will have more of a tendency to bounce and not cut cleanly. More of a crushing cut. Please try it and see what you think. Keep up the great videos. Thanks

    The more I see of these Villiers motors, the better I like them. They are heavy and overbuilt for their horsepower, but I think that's why so many of them still run. This one looks to be at least 60 years old, and started without much work, and runs very smoothly. Well done, Richard!

    • @YesterdaysMachinery

    • @keithammleter3824
      @keithammleter3824 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      These Villiers Mk-12 engines were very common on farms in Australia, until driven out of the market by the Honda aircooled engine. We had a few on our farm, pumping water, powering saws, lighting plant etc.
      They were very good long lasting engines mechanically, but were let down by crappy English ignition parts. Magneto points need frequent attention. It's far too easy to strip the threads in the points bracket bolt holes. Most people fitted a bit of bent tin plate on one of the cylinder head bolts and extending over the spark plug as a much more convenient and reliable way to shut it off.
      If not used frequently, the cork in the petrol tap shrinks and lets fuel drip out. It's best to replace the cork with neoprene.

    Is the new hydraulic platform just a work bench or is it a pair of platforms to lift car size vehicles?
    I just found a scissor lift type where the platforms do not need to be connected so there's nothing in the way between them.
    $200 aud. Im very, very happy indeed!
    Slight upgrade from working in Sandy soil or on compacted limestone and getting grit in everything!

    Awesome wheel truck. I just built a self propelled dumping wheelbarrow and then I found a video of someone who made the exact same one that I did. He converted a self propelled snowblower into a dump barrow. I love all the old stuff you find.

    How lovely to see it start and run so nicely. Great job!

      Certainly runs a lot better than mine. I can spend several hours fiddling around and the thing still doesn't go - still, it keeps me occupied!

    Good to see you again. Interesting little truck/runabout. Hope you're feeling much better.
    Happy new year to you and your family.

    Around 11:30 mark. The exhaust valve stem is too long. The valve isn't closing completely, or else it wouldn't have carbon under it. I bet you could spin it easily while it was supposed to be closed. You have to remove the valve and grind the stem ever so slightly shorter. (Very little! Check with feeler gauges) Polish the valve and seat with the compound, and check/adjust the final clearance again. This is a very common adjustment on flat head small engines.

    That sure looks like a handy machine! Good find! I could use that to bring in my firewood.

    I am happy you are making videos again, I found your channel a couple of months ago when you were not putting out content. Besides the wonderful old machinery I enjoy the way you speed up the video through the slow parts. I'm from the USA and I have never seen most of the machines you work on. Great stuff

      Hi! Thank you. I think much of my machines was rare in the US. /Richard

    When I was young a local milk man delivered using one of these. Turned it over on a very steep bend I remember.

    • @YesterdaysMachinery

      Yes, faster steering is hard to find! Should be great as a milk truck. /Richard
