      You don't really have to visibly move it, if it is already quite thigt. But let me tell you if you have some sort of feeling for what a part can handle, you won't break stuff, that wouldnd have broken either ways. Yust doing this or change the direction a few times is definitely a livesaver of a trick.

      I learned that by fixing cars and in fixing free stall loops at the dairy. Things get rusty, and your happy just to have it move a bit in any direction. Gets difficult to turn, and you just go back a bit. Use oil, but the heat from friction even helps.

      I work on clockwork mechanisms as a hobby and I feel like an absolute tool every time I place a wheel or a bridge with tweezers, even though that's actually the best way to do it, given the size of the parts.

      I watch Nekkid Watchmaker, and he uses tweezers to lift bridges and springs and tiny screws etc, probably similar for yourself, and granted, I may have been exaggerating for effect, but I was watching someone disassemble a giant doorbell the other day, in surgical gloves and lift oversized screws and nuts with tweezers - all a bit unnecessary - our man here has oil in his fingerprints and makes fun of falling for a lefty tighty curve ball - the awful smiling freeze frame on the intro, a good thud as his head lands on the sand blasting cabinet (how many people need to use a cabinet at the same time by the way 🤔 where is that from?). Great viewing every time 😀👍

    I've been watching this channel for a while, and I'd never imagined myself doing this sort of thing. But now because of my job, I'm seeing literal tons of great quality old tools get recycled every week. I've started grabbing and setting aside things I know I could fix. So far mostly 70's power tools that just need a new cord or new brushes. Figure I'll clean and refurbish them as best I'm able, and throw them up on eBay if nothing else. Honestly, I just like how old tools look, and I'll probably collect a lot of them.

I am now 80 yo, and in all these years I don't think I have ever seen a more complicated machine. No matter what part of it you attack, it has more parts than anything I've yet seen. Wow!

    It is so amazing how something as complicated as this lawm mower , could have ever been designed to work. Great job at restoring it. You have a part of history and a work of art. Hope to see part 2 ?

    That was AMAZING!!! (as always :D ) - You do SUCH GOOD WORK!!! And I just don't know how you're able to keep track of all the parts, or know how these strange things work, or what the best replacement part should be without using modern materials (as in replacing the float and still using cork, but coating it it with a gasoline resistant material... I would have just put on a modern float lol) - You are ONE OF A KIND and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! (I just wish I wasn't unemployed and strapped for cash because those wrenches are SWEET!!!)
    THANK YOU for the AWESOME Video, and I CANNOT WAIT to see the work on the Mower Body!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

      If you read the subtitles starting where he's machining the cork, you'll discover that he also ended up using a modern foamed plastic material to remake the float, because the gasoline resistant material wasn't.

    I will always be in awe of someone who can take an engine apart, put it back together and... get it started again. Sincere congratulations !

    This was a incredibly intricate restoration. Using the red gasket paper makes it more period accurate in appearance. Great work once again!

      I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

    This is by far, I mean MILES, the best opening to a video! Every time I watch this channel, it makes me laugh. It's straight out of my childhood sitcoms of the early 80's good.

    I love all your videos, you turn all these old forgotten gems into.... well Gems. I agree with the other commenters that say this is the best restoration channel on TH-cam. I wish you had more time to create more content. I know its a lot of hard work, and a lot of it we don't see but it must be a labor of love because you do it so well. Your videos are very satisfying with just the right amount of humor✌

    You're getting pretty good at these cranky old engines. Nice work! As always, the clanks, grunts, bangs, and occasional outburst are the perfect soundtrack.
