@@SiaVids I agree and disagree at the same time I work on them damn near daily there is some respect to be had but a crescent wrench is plenty of respectful if you're careful with it.

A good thing to use when an engine is stuck is to mix atf oil and acetone 50/50. Just pour a little into the cylinder and it penetrates better than many other liquids. Diesel also works quite well
Most folks don't know the correct way to use an adjustable wrench. I see them pulling against the moveable jaw all the time and that's what makes things go badly. Always pull against the fixed jaw.
Good adjustables have saved countless situations for me where a wrench or socket would have completely destroyed what I was working on specifically because they aren't adjustable........
You can also wrap eight to ten feet of wire 10-16 AWG around the magnet and give the coil a pulse of a second or two from a welding machine. That will put a very healthy magnetic field in to it.
@@SharkRoadssure don't seem like you have delt with very many hit and miss engines. Do some learning before you make assumptions. And it isn't a restoration never said it was. 90% of people call repainting and engine a restoration. And I find the word over used and useless.
As soon as I saw him using an adjustable spanner on old rusty nuts I thought 'This guy's an animal who shouldn't be allowed near a restoration'. But when I saw him trying to drive a rusty valve shaft back into the valve guide instead of trying to get it OUT for cleaning up first, I couldn't watch anymore. Especially as he was using a hammer, not a mallet.
Bring back a lot of memories for me. When I was a teenager my friends Dad owned an antique shop and had a lot of old engines similar to this one and we started bringing them back and cleaning them up and getting to run again. This included some very old Tractors too!
@@thepotterer3726 why do people hate a crescent wrench so much. If your rounding bolts off with one your using it wrong. They have easily enough grip to break the bolt before rounding it off so I still don't get why people hate them so much. They are a very useful tool that only novices say don't work especially in the old engine world.
@@cruddycornstalks personally it's because it's big as fuck, it's easy to round bolt because they tend to have a lot of play and in general, they look like something that does the job badly i personally woun't use it, but i mean, it's not me working on that, and it clearly worked good enought to do the job. i think hammering straight into the valve might be worse than any wrench. again no hate, of course, i just want to discussion, but hammering into a stuck valve seems a good way to fuck stuff up

I plan to do a video with period correct wrenches one of these days. the good the bad and the ugly and the engine I do it to wont be the same ever again.
@@cruddycornstalks When someone like Mortskie Repairs hits valves with a metal hammer and are stunned when it breaks, just shows they are incompetant at doing stuff. Valves have hardened seats, but the stems are not hardened. He should have just removed it fully and cleaned it instead of trying to clean it with a hammer.
@@cruddycornstalks I know how to work on engines. Just because I dont video what I do and put it on youtube, doesnt mean I dont know. I started doing mechanics back in 1974.
Well, at least the old valve acted as a reamer to clean out the old guide, maybe? XD Pot-metal cracking/swelling means some portion of the alloy has corroded, whichever metal was more reactive tends to go first. Some grease between the housing and the magnet might slow the corrosion in that area at least, since the filing will have exposed fresh metal to the air. Giving the housing a coating of some sort of oil after cleaning would be good as well, as the scrubbing and brake-clean will have removed any oils that were protecting it. See it with old ACVW engines that sit in a wet/damp area, the more reactive magnesium case will turn into a crumbly mess but the steel parts will just have surface rust and might be saveable. Would be great if more pot-metal parts had aluminum re-pop versions available!

You did pretty well to get her back up and running. Don’t worry about the purist haters who are condescending about “the wrong tools”. A decent quality shifter, that has very little play is more than enough. Hell, they used a similar tool back then anyway.
Nonsense. I've seen so called qualified mechanics threaten with dismal for using a shifter excessively. They have their place, but VERY limited. P.S. Qualified motor mechanic.
I guess Delaval was the same company as Alfa laval ,which is familiar to me as makers of milk separators for dairy farmers. A huge company once. The little motor was typical on small farms for running the milking plant and separator.
I used to work on irrigation pumps the fasteners above the water line was very hard to move, Under water, the bolts were very rusty, but easy to remove. Ever since, I soak rusty parts in water.

Oh look, an engine that you can actually repair without patented tools and a computer that can only be reset by the manufacturer and is obsolete as soon as the manufacturer goes bankrupt
Well here in India most tractors are still fully mechanical . So sad that they will be like what you said in short amount of time 😢. And greeting me unemployed
Those “pot metal” parts are quite toxic… it’s usually a mixture of zinc, lead and aluminium. The ratio of metals can vary, that’s why some batches last and others rot away.
You are using the adjustable wrench in the wrong direction.The movable jaw should be towards the direction you are turning the wrench. Also when you use the file, it only cuts in one direction, so don't drag the file over the work that you just cut. This bit of advice should make the tasks much easier. Thanks for listening.
Yes I know I used it backwards in the moment you forget to pay attention. As for the file it doesn't hurt them at all running them backwards unless it's a fine finishing file. Fire ball tool on TH-cam tested it to find out for sure
I freaking cringed when I saw you start hammering on the valve. I told my wife watch, he is fixing to break the valve. 5 seconds later if was in pieces.
Hammer is about all you can use to get a stuck valve out. a press with crack your guides way easier and you wont get it out with plyers. didn't care either way had a new valve any ways so just wanted to save the head
Love watching you get your hands dirty and bringing old back to life. Also laughing at these bufoon arm chair mechanics who have to make themselves feel smart by acting like they've actually turned a wrench. Pull the stick out of your asses people
thanks! alot of labor went into the filming and the editing to make the video nice and short. and everyone that doesn't understand that is saying i missed steps and did it wrong
if that's what you want to think, good for you. glad they include valve seat cutters , industrial welders, a lathe, a mill, valve grinder, magneto magnet charger, and all the other tools I used to make this engine run and to make this video. it wasn't a restoration I don't know where your getting that from. amazing how naïve some people can be about something they don't know much about. had a couple goals in the video get the engine running and get it running well as well as taking any slop out of all loose components and both where achieved and nothing was ruined or hurt that wasn't already bad or broken . "restoring" as a lot of TH-cam binge watchers say, would be a waste of what this engine is as a piece of history. I only want to preserve the patina the engine has while making it mechanically sound and tuning it till it runs as best it can. anyone complaining about my methods or what tools I used is either not experiences in antique engines or just a keyboard warrior looking for a argument to act like they know better. no nuts where rounded, no bolts striped, no good parts ruined, all original paint and history saved, and the engine runs better now than in the past 80+ years of its life. so maybe rethink your judgement.
@@cruddycornstalks i think you did a pretty good job. At first i was thinking you'd need to strip the remaining paint and sandblast. Glad you didn't. This old stuff was built to last. Great job repairing it. I knew a guy i used to work with years ago. He used to rebuild old engines like this and bigger. He had a big collection. Used to take them all over to fairs and shows. Pretty cool stuff. Keep up the good work. Subbed.
You are a far better mechanic than I am. However, I'm disappointed that 1) you did not use sockets or at least open end wrenches to remove the nuts, 2) you didn't take the valve assembly to your anvil, and use something a bit less drastic to hit on the valve so it did not shatter, 3) once you had everything apart, you took each assembly to first a cleaning station to remove the old gunk, then to a sandblasting to make everything look at least clean. Yes, you were able to make the engine work again, and if that was your only goal, you accomplished that. I suppose I'm used to restoration folks totally cleaning, stripping, re lubing, and repainting everything so it looked nearly new. I suppose I was expecting more.
thank you. for once a polite and honest critique. but! 1) a crescent does no harm to any nut or bolt when used correctly and it didn't, as well as it fits some old bolts better then any socket will since they have rusted smaller over time and aren't standard anymore, 2) had no major care for saving the valve since I had replacements ready and it was bashed in hard from many people before me trying, 3) I cleaned the grease off generally and plan to clean it farther by hand, but I would never sand blast this engine or its parts as the paint and its patina is part of its history and far harder to obtain then any type of paint you can spray at it. it took that paint over a hundred year to get that way and people want to spend a few hours taking it off and putting something anyone can buy at a store on it, no thank you. I did a bunch of little mechanical reworking to remove slop and make the engine run as best as it can and succeeded . when it comes to antique farm machinery it is far more desirable to preserve the nice original paint, then "restore it" . if you have the paint to preserve. thank you for your comment and your thoughts!
@@cruddycornstalks monkey sees monkey does, this is the trouble. There is alot of young people who learn off TH-cam before they attempt. They copy these bad practices.
@@Michael-ul8bv good to know the person calling me a hack doesn't even know what I broke and what was already broken. Or the fact both had replacement parts waiting. Maybe go learn about something before you try to act like you know better.
I hate to criticize, I liked the video, but when you opened the fuel tank, from the part where you opened the lid, to pouring the fresh fuel in was all in the same shot. I would have at least inspected the tank and rinsed it out. I still enjoyed your video and will continue to watch.
he claims in another comment that he and his father have 60 years combined experience fixing these things, should have a proper collection of tools if you've been doing it that long.
Hochachtung, Schrottmotor nur mit Einmaulschlüssel, einem Schraubendrehe und einem Hammer instand gesetzt. Zeigt nur, wie gut die alten Motoren waren.

Oh look, an engine that you can actually repair without patented tools and a computer that can only be reset by the manufacturer and is obsolete as soon as the manufacturer goes bankrupt
Well here in India most tractors are still fully mechanical . So sad that they will be like what you said in short amount of time 😢. And greeting me unemployed
That was different... and utterly mesmerizing. Great job fella. I'm subscribing because you have skills.
Those “pot metal” parts are quite toxic… it’s usually a mixture of zinc, lead and aluminium. The ratio of metals can vary, that’s why some batches last and others rot away.
Yep never heat them very hot with a torch or you could get zinc poisoning
All of this people hating sorry to see that I think that you did a good job keep it up!😊
thank you!
You are using the adjustable wrench in the wrong direction.The movable jaw should be towards the direction you are turning the wrench. Also when you use the file, it only cuts in one direction, so don't drag the file over the work that you just cut. This bit of advice should make the tasks much easier. Thanks for listening.
Yes I know I used it backwards in the moment you forget to pay attention. As for the file it doesn't hurt them at all running them backwards unless it's a fine finishing file. Fire ball tool on TH-cam tested it to find out for sure
I'd recommend having that green paint checked for arsenic content, just in case …
@@RattiDave licked it. Seemed ok
I freaking cringed when I saw you start hammering on the valve. I told my wife watch, he is fixing to break the valve. 5 seconds later if was in pieces.
Hammer is about all you can use to get a stuck valve out. a press with crack your guides way easier and you wont get it out with plyers. didn't care either way had a new valve any ways so just wanted to save the head
Love watching you get your hands dirty and bringing old back to life. Also laughing at these bufoon arm chair mechanics who have to make themselves feel smart by acting like they've actually turned a wrench. Pull the stick out of your asses people
thank you! that's very true!
He makes it look so easy. Never like that in real life.
thanks! alot of labor went into the filming and the editing to make the video nice and short. and everyone that doesn't understand that is saying i missed steps and did it wrong
It's like everyone with a craftsman starter kit suddenly thinks they can make a restoration video
if that's what you want to think, good for you. glad they include valve seat cutters , industrial welders, a lathe, a mill, valve grinder, magneto magnet charger, and all the other tools I used to make this engine run and to make this video. it wasn't a restoration I don't know where your getting that from. amazing how naïve some people can be about something they don't know much about. had a couple goals in the video get the engine running and get it running well as well as taking any slop out of all loose components and both where achieved and nothing was ruined or hurt that wasn't already bad or broken . "restoring" as a lot of TH-cam binge watchers say, would be a waste of what this engine is as a piece of history. I only want to preserve the patina the engine has while making it mechanically sound and tuning it till it runs as best it can. anyone complaining about my methods or what tools I used is either not experiences in antique engines or just a keyboard warrior looking for a argument to act like they know better. no nuts where rounded, no bolts striped, no good parts ruined, all original paint and history saved, and the engine runs better now than in the past 80+ years of its life. so maybe rethink your judgement.
@@cruddycornstalks i think you did a pretty good job. At first i was thinking you'd need to strip the remaining paint and sandblast. Glad you didn't.
This old stuff was built to last. Great job repairing it. I knew a guy i used to work with years ago. He used to rebuild old engines like this and bigger. He had a big collection. Used to take them all over to fairs and shows. Pretty cool stuff. Keep up the good work. Subbed.
You are a far better mechanic than I am.
However, I'm disappointed that 1) you did not use sockets or at least open end wrenches to remove the nuts, 2) you didn't take the valve assembly to your anvil, and use something a bit less drastic to hit on the valve so it did not shatter, 3) once you had everything apart, you took each assembly to first a cleaning station to remove the old gunk, then to a sandblasting to make everything look at least clean.
Yes, you were able to make the engine work again, and if that was your only goal, you accomplished that.
I suppose I'm used to restoration folks totally cleaning, stripping, re lubing, and repainting everything so it looked nearly new. I suppose I was expecting more.
thank you. for once a polite and honest critique. but! 1) a crescent does no harm to any nut or bolt when used correctly and it didn't, as well as it fits some old bolts better then any socket will since they have rusted smaller over time and aren't standard anymore, 2) had no major care for saving the valve since I had replacements ready and it was bashed in hard from many people before me trying, 3) I cleaned the grease off generally and plan to clean it farther by hand, but I would never sand blast this engine or its parts as the paint and its patina is part of its history and far harder to obtain then any type of paint you can spray at it. it took that paint over a hundred year to get that way and people want to spend a few hours taking it off and putting something anyone can buy at a store on it, no thank you.
I did a bunch of little mechanical reworking to remove slop and make the engine run as best as it can and succeeded . when it comes to antique farm machinery it is far more desirable to preserve the nice original paint, then "restore it" . if you have the paint to preserve.
thank you for your comment and your thoughts!
I was just thinking when you was thrashing that valve, how come whenever I hit anything it breaks.
the cast iron headed valves are always touchy. but I knew I had a way to replace it so I wasn't worried.
@@cruddycornstalks monkey sees monkey does, this is the trouble. There is alot of young people who learn off TH-cam before they attempt. They copy these bad practices.
You've got to lap them more than that
@dalepoppenhagen8549 You think this was all done in 24 minutes and no work was done off-camera? I personally applaud the concise editing.
some people don't understand how making videos work. thank you @BeAFixer!
Nice to see beautiful, well made and reliable machinery being bought back to life. Subscribed.
awsome work sir.paint it pretty.
NO, the paint on it is 100 years old but in remarkable condition for it's age, best left alone
for once could not agree with you more mrcamelpmw
The guy is a hack, broke a valve and that housing for the igniter. Watching him break things is too painful.
@@Michael-ul8bv good to know the person calling me a hack doesn't even know what I broke and what was already broken. Or the fact both had replacement parts waiting. Maybe go learn about something before you try to act like you know better.
@@cruddycornstalks As we say in England - "that sure fixed his wagon"
I hate to criticize, I liked the video, but when you opened the fuel tank, from the part where you opened the lid, to pouring the fresh fuel in was all in the same shot.
I would have at least inspected the tank and rinsed it out.
I still enjoyed your video and will continue to watch.

good job, it look dangerous, keep out of children hahahaah, ( elevator sound and RIP very funny hahaha)
Brilliant thank you 👍
Yeah, maybe he doesn't have the best collection of tools, but he got it running.
he claims in another comment that he and his father have 60 years combined experience fixing these things, should have a proper collection of tools if you've been doing it that long.
we do. these engine don't require any better tools. what I used was better then the ones they had when it was new !
Great pacing for the video! No one likes a bunch of talking and real-time unscrewing of bolts.
gotta make taking out a bolt feel like pulling a pin otherwise, it makes the video way to slow and long!
Speak for yourself!
Abroad, it is mechanical respiration. good.
Cool to have this machine powering an alternator or something slightly more period to produce power to charge an Edison battery...

Hochachtung, Schrottmotor nur mit Einmaulschlüssel, einem Schraubendrehe und einem Hammer instand gesetzt. Zeigt nur, wie gut die alten Motoren waren. Keine Schraube, Mutter oder sonst was, saß so fest, dass es nicht mit dem Satz "Hausfrauenwerkzeug" gelöst werden konnte. Noch eine Antenne darauf und der Motor empfängt Satellitenfernsehbilder ;-) In Korea gibt es einen Mechaniker, der repariert verrostete "ROLEX-Armbanduhren" nur mit Hammer, Wasser und einer Zahnbürste. Schon toll, was?
dánke!
What did you use to clean the engine at the end there? Looks to have worked very well!
it was a 50 50 of gasoline and kerosene. worked best with the grease the engine had without making the green come off.
A friend of mine has a few "hit and miss" antique engines.
Built to last
Nunca me paso de ver una restauración tan mediocre, con golpes innecesarios al punto de romper una válvula, y nada prolijo al trabajar, una vergüenza como reparador
Amazing ressurection!! i love those ancient hit n miss engines:)
