Sam, you are a magician and a master mechanic and a tribute to magicians and mechanics the world over. This series has left nothing out, has answered every question and has provided top quality entertainment. We are indebted to you for your efforts to share this rare knowledge with us. Thanks!
Back in high school (20+ years ago) my auto shop teacher had a very similar looking engine bolted down to a bench near the door. We'd all stand around waiting for class to start or class to end and rotate the flywheels, and if he ever saw us doing it, he'd yell at us to "stop messing with that motor". I never knew what that engine was, I just happened to see the thumbnail and it instantly brought back all of those memories. As an IH fan, I wish I would of seen it run back then. Thanks.
Sam, a heartfelt country thank you from Gig Harbor WA! I've watched this particular bailing wire series many times over and have learned so much from your patient teaching style. Finally... the engine start! Terrific! I have a 2hp economy running and a 11/2hp Waterloo Boy in work, but now can't wait to pick up a ratted out Series M to rebuild. Again, thanks for your well-thought-out approach and simple instruction style. Nothing left out, and makes me feel like I can handle the whole shebang!
From the gorgeous cart to leaving the bailing wire repair to that trick exhaust stack I enjoyed it all, what a beauty!! I've enjoyed watching and listening to these hit and miss engines (and all engines) all my life but have never been thru the rebuild on one, truly enjoyed the in depth showing and the humor of a genius!!! Thank You
YIPEEEE... This moment of starting the baling wire engine was as exiting to me as the day that I first started my Peterbilt after it's rebuild. Thank you for this video series Sam.
As others have said, I will probably never work on one of these but I learned many things from your video series. Two things stand out, pride in workmanship and paying attention to detail - "every part has had a file run across it...". Thanks Shopdogsam, waiting for the next project.
thanks sam!!!!i lost my shop and house about the time this project started.forced to a aptment this helped to fill the void of not to tinker in my own shop, cant wait to see what is next!!!!!!!!!!over and out from the northcoast of america!!!!
Sam, your videos are by far my favorite. Very informative, and its good to know there are still those in America who take great pride in a job well done. My hat is off to you, and I look forward to the next great series.
Thanks Sam! Have watched all the "bailing wire" videos but this is the one that was most happy to see. Well done Sam and looking forward to your next project.
My father passed away about 7 years ago at age 70. This engine (running at the time it was video recorded) is OLDER than he was when he passed away. I'm impressed. Dig the sounds of them Cicada locusts! Oh and nice work on that engine too!
I bought one of the M engines in a box totally apart about the time you began this video series. I sure have enjoyed and appreciated all you have done with this series. Thank you very much! I am confident I will get mine going once I get a few parts that someone destroyed taking the engine apart. Thanks again Sam, Chuck
I started watching the "baling wire engine" rebuild last night at about 9pm. I was up until about 1am watching each one of the videos in order. By 1am I couldn't go on, so I started up where I left off today. I finely got to #64 and I think I was as happy as you when she puffed and started up. This was quite a project. Well done. You sir are an artist, engine genius, and true inspiration. I am trying to scrape together the money right now to buy my first hit and miss. I have my eye on a Fairbanks Morris Z 2hp engine. I can't wait to get inside and build it from the ground up! What a rush when it starts for the first time!
Congratulations it's Magnificent, I never had any doubts that it would start and run so well. The whole engine looks and sounds outstanding and I've learnt so much along the way, Many thanks for all your time, patience and energy for showing us all. I'm encouraged enough to look for something similar, perhaps and old Lister, to do over here in the UK as my father had one as a standby to drive the vacuum pump so that we could milk the cows if the electric went down. Thanks once again.
I was hear for every one of the videos Sam, and really learned a lot about the rebuild of this nice old baling wire engine. Thanks for sharing your talents :)
I've been glued to this series since you started the project... I think you were teasing us a little with the last couple videos, but to finally hear her running was well worth the wait... thanks for posting I cant wait to see what the next project will be.... thanks agai Sam!!!!!!.....
Outstanding job on the engine restoration. The piston and rings are good. I wondered about that part but they are fine. It dont smoke, it has good compression it runs nice.The exhaust sounds really good with that homemade muffler I really like that part and the linseed oil metallic finish is so tastefully done it looks like a work of art.. It its a beautiful motor and sounds and runs so good you gotta love it.Thanks for making this video series. I am ready for more.
Just bought a Maytag 92 for son in law to rebuild and make hit miss ice cream churn. You sir are what makes America great, the knowledge of our elders from home grown experience. It was a honor to watch, listen and learn.
FANTABULOUS !!! Great job, Sam. From a sow's ear came an authentic masterpiece silk purse. One of the finest near restorations I've witnessed, to bring a piece of neglected scrap iron back to the way it was when it was a hard working tool many years ago is an art that makes you a true artist. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & videos for our enjoyment. Dick
Very pretty little Atmospheric induction valve unit, with lots off character , well done Sir. Reminded me of a project done with a friend of mine , Scott, many years ago, when I was still a young one.
Sam- amazing video series... From start to finish you covered every aspect of this awesome rebuild. What a great moment for all of us who have followed your wonderful instruction. Thanks so much and job well done!
I have to say I have enjoyed wathcing you and have learned a lot..I also want to say it was great running into you today...Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.
i have a 1 1/2 and 3 hp m that i have done, now i am going to redo both because this was the most informative series i have ever seen, wow! job well done. i know i will make them run great, wont be hard to do, thanks again dave
Sam, Many thanks to you for your time in making these videos. You're a good and patient teacher. I followed this series from the start to finish. We can see your passion and pride come through in your work. Especially when your "cranked er up" in this final one. I can't wait for "our" next project. Thanks again Sam, Rick Waco,Tx
Seen all your videos, so was the result ever in question? No, and if you do everything right, you don't have to worry about perfect, that takes care of itself. Another great series, can't wait for the next! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! This series was so much fun to watch! I learned so much and see how it all works and be put together expertly! I look forward to future builds :) thanks Sam!
let me be the first to say, its a wonderful sight and we all knew that it would start and purr..nice job Sam..a great ending to a great series of videos..
your wealth of knowledge on these style Engine,s is incredible .I imagine they could be used for almost any application power a generator, wood splitter air compressor, E.T.C Old technology that will probably last longer then it's modern equivalent Awesome
I watched every one of this series that little engine is a credit to you it runs so smoothly I just love this hit and miss engines, nice work shopdogsam
The fuel tank is in the base, I believe its 1.6 gallons. There is no float bowl. It is not a carburetor, but a mixer. Fuel run into the Fuel bowl and overflows back into the the fuel tank. Perfect for this type of engine and and very few moving parts in the mixer. You can buy almost any part for this engine. LOVE that sound!!!! put you to sleep. Where on the east coast of AR? I live in NLR. Working in Magnolia on a job. The engine I went through is up in Peoria, IL. It runs perfect!!!! If you have others or want to sell this one, I am the one you want sell it to. I have watched so many MCD 1.5 engines on youtube and they are not doing things correctly. GREAT Video!!! Very Very Nice. Love to at least see it. I will even start it for our enjoyment without instruction.
That one is a stable runner! You could measure that valve clearance with a yard stick. Very funny. These engines last so long because they are a low stress design. They produce around 1/10th of a HP (or less) per cubic inch. They have extremely low compression ratios and low valve spring pressures, etc combined with super strong beefy castings. I love the cracked hopper. It adds a lot of character. Thanks for the video!
I've watched the videos. Don't even have a clue about engines or what you are doing. But finally to see this thing run made me give a great big Woo-hoo! Man, that climax was a long time coming.
Watched the episodes from beginning to the end. Great to see this old iron run. I have a 1919 ihc model m ignitor love hearing it run. Maybe sometime you can show how to rebuild a rotary mag. Great Job.
Enjoyed the series greatly. Thank you for doing it and taking the time to make the videos. What a great moment to see the engine start and run. What's next?
New subscriber. I came over from MrPete222 Tubal Caine's recommendation and have watched about 20% of your videos. I enjoy your machines very much (and that bologna sandwich looks pretty good too)! Thanks for sharing.

You are the best I've seen, Shopdog. If more people took this much pride in their work, this would be a better country
Sam, a heartfelt country thank you from Gig Harbor WA! I've watched this particular bailing wire series many times over and have learned so much from your patient teaching style.

Man, that's a pretty sight and sound: something that was headed to scrap is now a functional engine again, ticking away like it was new. Well done.
From the gorgeous cart to leaving the bailing wire repair to that trick exhaust stack I enjoyed it all, what a beauty!! I've enjoyed watching and listening to these hit and miss engines (and all engines) all my life but have never been thru the rebuild on one, truly enjoyed the in depth showing and the humor of a genius!!!

Lovely sound. Nice to see a chuck of scrap iron working again. Thank you for the series. Well done.
Watched it from the beginning. Nothing better than to watch a master at work.
Thanks Sam! Have watched all the "bailing wire" videos but this is the one that was most happy to see. Well done Sam and looking forward to your next project.

This machine man delivers more lectures than the activities of the subjects !
That engine is without a flaw!!!!! PERFECT!!! Warms my heart, thanks Sam! You and tubalcain have GREAT videos!
I love all things old like old engines, old machinery and ,old guns. I think it could be because I am so old myself. great piece on these old engines.
Truly a mechanical work of art. Good job Sam !

Amazing job! Thanks for sharing the trip.

Just beautiful Sam! Thank you for letting me look over your shoulder on the entire restoration...
"Do not use the crank" probably the best advice in the video
This video may be a few years old,but i love revisiting this engine.

What a sweet old engine,good job sam..
I watched every one of this series that little engine is a credit to you it runs so smoothly I just love this hit and miss engines, nice work shopdogsam
