    Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

    The engine's internal condition was surprisingly good given its miserable exterior condition. Great find!

    • @ceejay6882
      @ceejay6882 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I would guess that the previous owner threw in the towel because of the snapped bracket for the handle bar. Sometimes you get lucky with kerb side cleanups where the engine has great compression but there's a superficial issue like linkages/brackets/dirty carbs etc.

    Excellent result. Beautifully engineered. In my youth, the "Hayter', was considered The "Queen", of the rotaries. You have done her proud. Thank you !

    Brand spanking new again. What a brilliant restoration video. I was hooked from start to finish. And to think I know nothing about mechanics. It was the most interesting thing I’ve seen in ages. My late husband would have been in his element watching it. He loved mechanical things. Thank you for entertaining this 75 year old senior citizen in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤

    @FLORIDAMAN8957 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I always thought your mechanical work was superb on these mowers, but you really are improving on the cosmetic side of the restorations. They look cleaner, sleeker, and almost factory quality good. You're hard work and attention to detail does pay off.

    I do not believe that I have ever seen anyone clean it the way you did before storing it away, Most owners just leave it outside and go from there. Very nice job on that engine too.

I guess I see so many yard machines sitting in yards with grass & weeds grown over them. They become hidden yard art! I love the perfection that you put into them. First time I have seen your videos.

    I don't blame you for cutting off the base / blade plate. You could have tried for another 5 hours and still ended up having to cut it off. It's not like they are rare.
    Love your work.

    wash and paint. I really enjoy these no narration, no music, no nonsense videos. I'm a bit late to the party, but Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year.

    My friend,a gearhead, bought a mower from the flea market, around 10 dollars. Sharpened the blade,cleaned the carb,added 140 gear lube to the crankcase, topped it off with 104 octane fuel booster, bypassed the governer with some string, and mowed a backyard covered in waist high grass, laughing the whole time, because it actually was working! Every time he let off the throttle a purple flame would shoot out about 4 inches. Just a fond memory I wanted to share
