    There's simply nothing more satisfying than rebuilding a seized or worn out engine. When it coughs back to life post rebuild, it's a great feeling.
    I just read that Briggs and Stratton was purchased out of bankruptcy by an investment group. This group has the capitol, experience and also hired a new CEO to hopefully get it back on the right path for decades of success. American's need to keep these legacy companies alive! So many have folded or shipped ALL their manufacturing overseas. WE all need to support the remaining American manufacturing companies that keep Americans employed.

      VW Purist, the problem is the extremely high cost of union labor is why so many have either folded or gone overseas. While I realize people need to make a decent wage sometimes these unions just get outrageously greedy. A great example is what happened to Eastern Airlines. The company was in trouble and trying to stay afloat but the moronic unions refused to back off and help until the company could get back on stable ground. Eastern is now just a memory of what was once one of the premier airlines in the US. When the Obama administration started bailing out the big three auto companies, Ford told them "Thanks but no thanks" as their unions realized they had to work with Ford in order to survive and they did. GM took the money and is now almost as bad as before because the greedy unions keep demanding more while producing some of the crappiest vehicles ever seen on American highways. Chrysler wound up being bought out by Fiat and now we only have Ford and GM as American companies. Unions are like dinosaurs and should have long since gone the same way. They've outlived their usefulness and are just shoving more and more companies and jobs overseas. They NEVER seem to learn.

    • @warbirdwf
      @warbirdwf 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@richardcline1337 Richard, I'm 100% in agreement about unions. They've succeeded in driving many companies out of business or shipping their manufacturing overseas. Detroit is a union city. Look at it now. How many Detroit jobs were moved to Mexico due to the unions wanting to pay an unskilled union worker $35 an hour plus benefits to put a bolt in a bumper on the assembly line. Most foreign car company factories in the USA are in non-union states deep in the south. Unions need to go the way of pensions. The other last century company killer.

      I've transitioned to battery powered lawn blowers, hedge trimmers, etc. I did because they are so much less hassle than mixing gas, storing gas, the finicky engines, etc. I wouldn't go back to fossil fuel powered lawn/garden equipment.

It was in about the same state, having been left in a crumbling shed, rapidly sinking into the ground, until I got it. It's one of a kind, and awaiting restoration currently.

      @MachineryRestorer  2 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      It needs refabricating. It still needs a lot of work to get it in perfect restored condition. The clutch needs rebuilding, the steering gears are all worn out and would need remaking, ideally the whole machine would need fully dismantling and sandblasting inc the gearbox. The front grille would be very difficult to manufacture without special machines. So I won't say it will never be restored but after spending 4 months working on this video I need to move onto other machines first. Thanks for watching

    Just a suggestion for your Sanding Procedure on the Granite Block. 1. Choosing a piece or Granite or Marble... perfect, I have used a Piece of Tempered Glass for years. Works great too. For the Sand Paper, I have found it more effective to use some thread cutting oil spread on the sand paper. It keeps your work piece from "Jumping" on a small fold in the paper, and forces the paper to smooth out. Plus I only use the paper for one time use. So after the block and cylinder head, I toss it into the garbage. Sometimes save a small piece for a stubborn gasket. Just a suggestion.

    There's just something extremely satisfying about laying back and just listening to the sound of all the different birds featuring the crank of ratchets, the clatter of tools, the tapping of hammers, then the grinders come out and scare the life out of you😂😂😂🙄🙄

    Didn't realize at first how small your tractor was, and how long it actually took to get it to this point. I agree with you that it just might not be worth it to go the full restoration route, but it sure was good to see it putt putt around your yard. God bless.

    Nice to see that it is alive, great work!
    I just wonder what these mini tractors were used for? Seems to be to small for "bigger" tasks, it is just as big as a normal lawn tractor.

      I think some parts are available local and some parts expensive and a long wait from the states.

    It made me chuckle when you replaced the recoil into its housing 😬, it’s usually a pretty frustrating operation and rarely goes first time. Great project and excellent filming 👍👍.

    Very nice little tractor, she deserves a full restoration! I recently did a tractor restoration too. A little Bolens from 1968. It is actually satisfying to do so.

    Well done darling. I love your approach to this stuff. You get a result but don’t bash yourself to bits doing it and all the birdsong, sunshine, nature stills, So sweetly shot and edited. Very good. I’d love to see you do a collaboration with Irene the doll restorer. A camper van or or something fabric / mechanic. You both have the same timing and sense of curious magic. 💕

    I hand lapped the cylinder head from an Allis Chalmers WD tractor one time. It was rough so it took a long time. It ended with a sore back and sore arms but it worked, even on the larger displacement engine.
