I'm from across the pond, and watching your channel makes me wish that I had a feasible way to import some British machines over here to play with. You guys have some really unique and beautiful machines over there. At least I can watch you work on them.
I am in the usa and I LOVE when you redo an old piece of equipment. Please keep doing the old mowers and other things like you have been doing. Keep restoring them and I will keep watching. Thanks.
I have never seen a rod failure exactly like that one before. I have never seen a piston guide pin retainer fall out like that. Thank you for sharing this.
By far my favorite restorer! A skilled and experienced man, not only a part changer, we investigate and understand the cause of the malfunction, no stupid techno / electronic music that can cause more damage to the engine....
You have to love that feeling of bringing back something that everyone else considered junk. I know speaking for myself it just feels satisfying by saving something that no one else want it. Great job look forward to watching more of your videos.
My son and I started watching this video a few minutes ago. We stopped it and made a bet what was broken and stuck. I said con rod, he said something with a valve or camshaft. The bet was the loser has to mow the yard next time. Looks like I’m this case we were both right lol. So we are headed out to double team the lawn. Cheers from the US and we love your videos and content. 👍
Love how the birdsong carries on uninterrupted throughout all the edits when you're outside - theyre' super rehearsed! Great viddeo as always. Thumbs-upped.
I think your videos are good and informative. (I repair cars, boat engines, tractors and riding lawnmowers to house needs) and also watch other channels on TH-cam. BUT yours differs in two ways to my delight. 1. You wash / rough clean what you are going to examine / repair (many others start digging around in the shit so you can barely see what they are doing) 2. The birdsong in the background that makes me think of spring. Here in Sweden, it is now 7 months of dark rain snow in front of me
I have an Austract S1200 and we bought it with a conrod hanging out the side of the block. We ended up just putting a newer 15hp Brigs n Stratton in it. Most reliable thing money can buy. Love the videos, keep it up!
I like your videos… you are very precise with your rebuilds… you use new parts and you tell us what you are doing every time… I work on lawnmowers myself… I took a few notes from you for my own knowledge… thank you and keep the videos coming …
New sub here. You're just as interesting as Mustie1 with a different take on how you go about diagnosing problems and repairing them. Excellent work habits. I attended a two year small Engines vocational training school afternoons my junior and senior years of high school and I've no doubt you'd make a good vocational school instructor. My training led me to become an Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate for almost 5 years. I really like it that you coated both sides of the case gasket with Permatex. So many people don't do that and don't realize how critical that can be due to possible imperfections in castings gaskets can't resolve. That's really critical on aircraft engines but small engines as well.
Absolutely amazing restore and rebuild on that engine. I was completely surprised to see that rod shoot through there like you did. Just really crazy as I have never seen nor heard of something like that myself. Job well done sir, cheers from the States 👍
Got to say. This is really useful to watch, even though I more on the end of aircraft engenerring. Its still useful to learn about different engines and vehicles
@@tiredoldmechanic1791 // 1st, it was a joke [which you seemed to have missed]. 2nd, I quoted Dag verbatim [12.07], so tell him he's wrong. 3rd, I've heard it called both [aluminium/aluminum; rabbit/rebate]. Have a nice day.
Am i the only one who thought there was a follow through when that assembly lube was squeezed out 🤣 Good work on this one sir, something so satisfying about fixing a machine left for the dead
Wow, that fell apart like one of the newer Briggs engines! I’m thinking the G clip came off and caused all of that since there’s no scoring on the main bearing. Terrific job and very satisfying to watch!
Very nice job saving this one. I love watching your work. Just a question. Is there a reason that mowers don't have a discharge chute on the side of the mowers? I'm guessing there's a rear discharge on that one.
I never thought a con rod can break like that and cause that amount of damage. I'm not a mechanic but have helped a few, and this is the most interesting/unusual failure I have see.
Wow, that is a seriously blown up engine! 😲 I have seen it a couple of times before, where the retaining clip came loose and got wedged in between the piston and the cylinder bore, and the result was the same as here - the conrod snapped and went out through the crankcase.
I'm always amazed at how you are able to repair all this equipment. I do wonder, however, what do you do with all this equipment that you managed to revive?
@Machinery Restorer cant get enough of watching these vids. Also i think they are way better when you actually voice over. Regardless love the vids and keep doing what makes you happy. cheers from the US!!!
I love your work and I think you are very talented. I wish I had your skills. I wonder about your choices of equipment to save however. I guess the lawn tractors available in England are not as interesting to me as what we have here in the states.
Excellent video Marty :) never seen this type brand Mower in Ontario Canada before and she did excellent job after rebuilt motor plus also rest did to it!
this eng. must have bin running at 4000 when it came apart i have worked on these engs. for 65 years but this interesting!!! terrific video thank you you sound like Churchill ha ha !!
39:50 that carburetor was in really nice shape after sitting that long. Here in the states we have to use ethanol fuel and it plays hell with aluminum. I've had many carbs I've pulled the bowl off and found it packed full of oxidized aluminum and the float bonded to it or just plain crumbled to dust. At that point, I just chuck it in the bin. It's why I keep several carbs in stock at my shop
I bet that little engine made quite a bit of noise before it stopped for good lol! May I ask what type of assembly lube you’re using? The red one? Also you should try soaking all your carb parts in pine-sol you’ll be surprised
Omg 😳 started first time without an extreme turn to fill the carb. This man can fix my bloody Ferrari and my Lamborghini anyday. I’m seriously impressed 😂😉
Oooeeehhhh, that thing runs and mows like a charm now... (I could've used you when my OM636 seized up in my boat a couple years ago :P ) Also, with that amount of rot on the mower deck, my mate and I 'd just joke "Ah, just TIG it back up" XD
I have 3 of the same engines in the shed that I have pulled off ride on mowers. I have done the valves at various times but now they have all stopped. I would love to rebuild them and you make it look easy but I have several things stopping me. Lack of confidence and ability. Lack of the right tools. Hard to get parts in Oz and cost of. You could have them for parts but even the logistics of that are not viable. One day someone might want them.
I guess tools are an issue. The pullstart clutch socket looks fairly special and from what I've heard you pretty much need an ultrasonic cleaner to fix a properly gummed-up carburettor. A torque wrench is probably a good idea too but they're fairly affordable. Other than that you can largely get by with household tools. Various pullers can be handy though, and if you stumble across anything old enough or American you'll need metric and Imperial spanners.
I've had two engines with broken con rods and both deposited aluminum on the crank journal. the best thing to fix that is to use lye, or drain cleaner crystals, dissolve in water and let soak, it will eat off the aluminum and save everything else. then you just take sand paper and polish compound and make it mirror like again.
I love these types of restoration videos. However, the future looks like the lawnmowers will go to electric power. No more smoke and an oily mess to deal with. Just other things like keeping the blade sharp and having the body rust if it's not kept indoors.
@machinery restorer how did you get the engine to lock to remove the bolt from the PTO pulley? I’m trying to remove the engine from a T1200 at the moment, and I can’t find any way to stop the engine turning as I try to undo the bolt.

Just want to say that I love your work and I only watch Mustie 1 and you for this type of video. (at breakfast time!)
Glad you like them!
@@MachineryRestorer hope you fix that deck and patch the holes up in it
At least this guy uses the proper tools.
Taryl fixes all is great on lawnmowers and anything else he does.
@@daviddavis6291 yeah love tsrylscvideos
You have to love that feeling of bringing back something that everyone else considered junk. I know speaking for myself it just feels satisfying by saving something that no one else want it.
Great job look forward to watching more of your videos.
It's an even better feeling when you got it for cheap and free and made 600% profit in a couple days haha
Learning so much! Can't say enough how much I've learned and fixed my own small engines. Always excited to watch your videos. Very educational!

For an old Westwood mower, it sure came up real good and cuts beautifully.
I love your videos I suffer from anxiety and your videos calm me right down! Thank you your a lovely man
Must compliment you on the detailed close up camera shots in your video. One of the best carburetor video clips I've seen.
I love these videos. I love it when people save old stuff like this from the scrapper. It gets harder and harder to find.
LOL 😂 "that's enough of reviewing the boxes!" that cracked me up. Love your channel, keep up the awesome work!

What a great job on rebuiding a junked engine. Runs great and sounds great.
What a meticulous restoration once again. Just fantastic and lovey to watch. Starts on one go again. Great work! Thanks for sharing :-)
I enjoy how detailed your videos are, and how are you explain everything you are doing
Absolutely amazing restore and rebuild on that engine. I was completely surprised to see that rod shoot through there like you did. Just really crazy as I have never seen nor heard of something like that myself.
Job well done sir, cheers from the States 👍
At last, a machinery restoration channel by someone who knows what he's doing. Liked and subscribed 👍👍
Got to say. This is really useful to watch, even though I more on the end of aircraft engenerring. Its still useful to learn about different engines and vehicles
Nice rebuild of that broken engine. Sounds like it runs great now. Thumbs Up!
Looks to be fairly low hour cheers from the USA
Very thorough breakdown and assembly. You do nice work and are professional my friend. Tx for the video
Another cool and interesting project! Great job daggerwin!
*[12.07]:* "it sheared the keyway; no surprise there" *I'll bet it surprised the keyway when it happened hey?* Great video. *God bless.*
It sheared the key not the keyway. The keyway is the slot cut into the shaft and the flywheel that the key fits into.

I know these projects must take you twice as long but I really appreciate the camera angles you provide. Nice work 👍
Yeah that’s a first for me the con-rod destroyed the valves. I’ve never seen that happened before.
Am i the only one who thought there was a follow through when that assembly lube was squeezed out 🤣
Good work on this one sir, something so satisfying about fixing a machine left for the dead
Totally expected a "Whew!" or "Oh dear"
👍 Really nice "fix". That deck seems to do a nice job, even in its poor overall condition. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video as always. These videos help me relax after a hectic day at work 👍
Awesome job on rebuilding a junked engine. You have a very relaxing voice.

Runs good, Nice Job. Thank you for sharing.
I learned so many things in one video.Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!
What a awesome job 👍. Even with a rusty mower deck cuts like new.
Have a Blessed One Sir and Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina USA 🇺🇸.
Great work and restoration, true Lawnmower Man😊
Well done , it’s really Intriguing amazing work as ever 👍🏻😜🦆

Great job , I really enjoyed it . And No music was needed either
I watch these videos because it teaches me how to fix a Briggs and Stratton engines and now I have a old 1970s 4HP that needs new rings
A proper rebuild!....Well Done!!!
Excellent video Marty :) never seen this type brand Mower in Ontario Canada before and she did excellent job after rebuilt motor plus also rest did to it!
Job well done!
Love your work!
this eng. must have bin running at 4000 when it came apart i have worked on these engs. for 65 years but this interesting!!! terrific video thank you you sound like Churchill ha ha !!
What a great motor should run for decades.
Great video! I would have liked to see what kind of compression it had after the rebuild.
That is the nicest steering wheel I've ever seen on a riding mower.
39:50 that carburetor was in really nice shape after sitting that long. Here in the states we have to use ethanol fuel and it plays hell with aluminum.

Nice work bringing it machine back to life. It does a really nice job cutting too. Deck restore? Lol
Nice Job, fun to watch. Thanks
Thank you,, Nice video to watch while having my morning coffee !!!
Great video. Appreciate your attention to detail!!
Very nice engine restoration!
Amazing job 👍, need high skills in engine repair, always success and keep the spirit, greetings from Indonesia 🙏

Big hello all the way from Norway!
I watch your videos lots, I’m always amazed at knowledge 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job. Thanks for posting.
Give me a job with a sand blaster and I’m a happy camper, instant gratification. Cheers mate.
Good job thanks for your time 🚜🚜🚜
Loved the voice over!
Omg 😳 started first time without an extreme turn to fill the carb. This man can fix my bloody Ferrari and my Lamborghini anyday. I’m seriously impressed 😂😉
Thank you for saving my Friday night.
woah woah take it easy, think i saw half of ur head! good stuff like always, thanks!
Man. I really enjoy your video's. I've been binge watching all of them.
That connecting road crashed into the valve head like the Kool-aid man through a brick wall 🤣🤣
Hey! Con Rod!
Oh yeah! Oh... yeah well.
Another galiant steed for the mighty Daggerwin to ride into battle against the terror that is...yardwork.
Nice job and that looks like my yard grass is getting high
Excellent video. The carnage was epic.
Nicely done.
Oooeeehhhh, that thing runs and mows like a charm now... (I could've used you when my OM636 seized up in my boat a couple years ago :P )
Also, with that amount of rot on the mower deck, my mate and I 'd just joke "Ah, just TIG it back up" XD
Fantastic good job very satisfying 💙💙💙
I like your time lapse, brings back memories of Steve Austin, the six million dollar man.
The oil is old as so is the machine. Some people don't listen to the knocking sound. I'd say it just got tired and pop goes the B@S. Good video.

I guess tools are an issue. The pullstart clutch socket looks fairly special and from what I've heard you pretty much need an ultrasonic cleaner to fix a properly gummed-up carburettor.

I love these types of restoration videos. However, the future looks like the lawnmowers will go to electric power. No more smoke and an oily mess to deal with. Just other things like keeping the blade sharp and having the body rust if it's not kept indoors.
You are my favorite restorer
that was a awesome job your detail and content great loved the video
new parts always get me giddy.
May I ask what is the product you put on the crankcase gasket? The red stuff you brushed onto it.
@machinery restorer how did you get the engine to lock to remove the bolt from the PTO pulley? I’m trying to remove the engine from a T1200 at the moment, and I can’t find any way to stop the engine turning as I try to undo the bolt.
very satisfying video. want to get into small engine repair as a profession.
Great work 👍. What is it that you painted on the gaskets ?
Greetings from the home of Briggs & Stratton. Wisconsin.
Lovely job. I'm guessing no-one will ever sell you a robot mower.. :)
