Absolutely Awesome James! The epitome of " They don't Build 'em like that any more". You couldn't buy a Mixer with that sort of quality and longevity now if you offered 20K for one. You are doing it complete justice with the quality and care of the engineering and restoration you are putting into it. The men that made these in the day with skill and commitment would be very proud of the way you are honouring this Fine machine. Seeing the young Fella helping you brought a tear to my eye. Good job he's a lot better looking than the old man but he's lucky to have a committed Dad like you as is your daughter whom makes time for them. Speaks Volumes for the man you are in my book. The engine is a little ripper. Something else built in a time when quality and longevity was something Companies and their workers took real Pride in. Same as my 6/1 Lister. Seems the shortcut of just starting the Fking thing paid off 'eh mate. Excellent vid as usual and a privilege to watch.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 Yes, CS one Lunger as my father calls it. I am always on the lookout for them but they are far and few between here these days. They can be made to be virtually silent although the sound is something most people equate to a fast clock ticking.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 One uses what one has. :0) Actually I used that on a generator I just built. Despite what I thought were substantial mounting rails, The belt tension seems to flex them and slacken the belt. The Jack keeps things in place. It's also perfect for setting tension when you are bolting the things down on sliding rails I found.
I was doing weekend jobs for blokes still using beasts like this and dodgy winget dumpers for extra beer money in the early 2000's everything is brand new on site these days tho from what I see, probably not such a bad thing, worn out dumpers are a hazard, especially with an 18 year old me at the wheel.
Eeeeeeon. How's it going? Are you looking forward to me moving all your tools into the bunker so you never get them back? Once they're down there they're mine. That boxford is going to look beautiful swimming in muddy water surrounded by mosquitos.
Nice work! The engine sounds fairly good now. Both of mine are rope start.... which is a bit harder. If you need a sprocket made I do have a rotary table and a milling machine. A tip I got from a subscriber on my machining of flanges video was to keep your tooling as short as possible. It helps keep the chatter down.
All three of mine are crank start fortunately, I don't mind recoil rope starter but loose rope is a right faf. Thanks for the lathing tip, always appreciate the pointers my friend.
I have a Lister Petter AC 1 with optional electric start, but has to be started with the rope. I picked it up as scrap. I have it sitting under the shelf on a trolley. The injection pump and injectors needed rebuilt.
Nice, hopefully it won't need any new bits, spares are getting a bit pricey. They're fun little engines, I originally picked up the lot of 3 because I wanted to make a diesel power hammer, it still seems like a good idea.
I started one, much older than this one but the cast iron drum and yoke were unfortunately irreparably damaged so became garden ornaments. Well remembered.
It's dirty less refined paraffin so it burns sooty in things with a wick like lamps. I don't normally have to pay for it, it's what helicopters and jets drink.
Bootiful September morning, went for a run then a spot of copper soldering getting the basin in the downstairs toilet plumbed in. I do a bit of archery with my girls too, maybe will make it a regular Thursday thing!
@@samdooley82 speedfit all the way for me these days mate unless it's on show. I wish I was better at the archery, only just realised she was trying to aim with both eyes open after a few months of being all over the place, she'll be better than me soon.

A 6/1 as in cs? Those things are absolutely beautiful, play a lovely little Melody unlike these smaller engines.

@@glumpy10 just been trawling through your early vids, the belt tensioner on the induction motor hooked up to the horizontal diesel was beautiful.

Now that’s the mixer I remember in the seventies great job mate well done.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺

Lovely old mixer and with that superb little desol engine that will last you a lifetime. 👍👍👍.
I hope so mate
A man in his element…. Your knowledge of old British engineering companies is amazing. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Know Expert
Hopefully nothing to involved required, just a lot of paint! Cheers mate.
f o'brien of fobco drills fame. That mixer looks every bit as well built as the famous drills 👍
The name makes so much more sense now, nice one mate.
Awesome!
I can't wait for the next video
Nice one mate
Very nice machine and work there James! That thing is nuts!
Thanks mate, lots of nice big lumps of iron
iv been looking forward to the mixer restoration series

@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006your so going to get trench foot at some point during that project. when can i next come up for a week end?
@@ianschannel6947 don't know man, Robbie's got me working in the slaughter house probably till the end of October.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 we will sort something out then, I'll see if Dave wants to come up
Found this channel a few days ago and I’m really enjoying the content your putting out.
Nice one, thank you mate
Another success Jimmy lad. Well done.
Cheers mate
That thing is a beastly lump of a mixer. I love old heavy iron makes today's tool and machines look like kids toys

@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 No worries. Let me know if you need a sprocket made.
@@BensWorkshop thanks mate but I made this video a week ago, already bought one, bored it out and stuck a keyway in it
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 Fair enough. Well done.
Top job jimbo.
Cheers mate
Awesome
"You've just hit my hand at the moment, so don't go any further." :D :D :D
Yup, kids and hammers
Sweet
Cheers matey
Nice big motor 👍
Nice old thumper

When I nod my head, you hit it with a hammer…
And when I stop nodding, STOP HITTING!!!
Don't tickle it
Nice one. I have no idea why, but I assumed the drum would be be fixed to the frame with bushings
I was expecting ball bearings but the size and number of them on this ol girl surprised me too
Your feline is doing a cat scan. Mine do that with everything I bring in the door.
Question....did you not do a mixer refurbishment a good bit ago? At the airport?
I started one, much older than this one but the cast iron drum and yoke were unfortunately irreparably damaged so became garden ornaments. Well remembered.
Extra couple of inches LOL reminds me of an old boyfriend 🤣
Aye up
👍
kerosene same as Parafin?

Get in
Mr Dooley, up bright and early mate.
It's 12.35 am here, time for bed! I'll watch this when I get up!!!

Its bloody rubbish and th only reason you bought it is because you like fixing stuff LOL
Mate, if it wasn't for your comments I probably wouldn't even bother uploading videos, take care.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 LMAO By the way M8 are you still counting the hole in those rings when you calculate water displacement? Just a thought
@@nigelpalmer9248 no mate, I listened to your advice, forgot about displacement and got some progress made
