Good evening Joseph 😉 OUTSTANDING new intro video 👍🧐 Keep up your repurpose sence of humor toward you sister Joseph 🤣👌👍 You are doing a great help to her, I can not believe that it is acetone 🥴 Great sister tooth brush demo 🤣👌 Poor cameras mission task ( fuel tank ! ) 🥴🤣👌 OUTSTANDING fun video and keep up your OUTSTANDING work at School Joseph Cheers 👌🧐🍻
The good stuff continues. That is a GREAT tip on feeding the fuel line through the engine shroud. I'm definitely gonna use that! Looking forward to the first start!
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. We were surprised how clean the carb was, we were expecting a lot worse. Take care
Great job cleaning up the carb, replacing the hoses, and starting the tank cleanout process. Your sister won't notice...if she does, she may be thankful for the color added to her cleaner. It could now be used as green nail polish! 😂
Fuel just doesn't last like it used to and is destructive to a lot of the parts. We can always count on you during a proper job on any repair to the tractors. Thanks and take care Joseph
Excellent job cleaning up the fuel system and adding some new fuel hoses also thanks for sharing some great tips cleaning the tank out with your sisters nail polish remover and tooth brush she will never know lol just sit it back were she had it and there will be no problems haha. Very nice video thank you Joseph take care.
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. We were surprised how clean the carb was, we were expecting a lot worse. Take care
I think that the tank strap bolt was under the mount on mine. I laugh when I think of the trouble sisters caused for their brothers in high school. I always believed in revenge with compounded interest. Good Luck, Rick
We have now looked at the parts manual and it looks like it should be on the top. It would be a lot better on the bottom. My sister has not seen the video yet. Take care
Hello Joseph, I like how you cleaned the carb before you disassembled it and also your technique running the new fuel line through the shroud. Keep up the good work!!!
I love the new intro video, I noticed some snow ❄️ 😉. 🤔 I wonder if your sister will notice her bottle and toothbrush are missing 🤔😉😂😂. Great cleanup Joseph. Have a great Sunday 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. The snow was from this time last year so it is still not too late for snow this year. Take care
I am going with that clamp is upside down for convenience. glad you are getting good use out of your sister's tooth brush and nail polish. I am all about multiple applications of usage. Good tip on the fuel line. that works really well. Full watch and a thumbs up Joseph
Thanks. Since making the video we have checked the parts book and the tank clamp should be that way up, very odd as it would be much better the other way. Take care
When you have a carb off it is a good idea to get a bit of plate glass or a surface plate if you have one and put a piece of fine emory or wet and dry paper on it and rub the carb flange on it, keeping the flange flat on the paper. You will find that often the nuts holding the carb on have been over tightened and the flange is warped. You can get a situation where with the carb refitted and tightened it is possible to slide a thin feeler gauge between the carb and the engine, and this leaks air in and makes the engine really bad to start, keep rubbing the carb on the sandpaper till the whole flange cleans up and is flat again. You can sometimes check the flange with a straightedge and feeler gauge. Another good video Joseph! Have a look around your local petrol stations, some still sell E5 as well as E10. Phil
Thanks for the tip. This is something we have have done on the carbs on Wisconsin engines as they seem to warp in most places. We can still get E5 here but it is Super Unleaded and more expensive. Take care
Thanks. I think that once we have the tractor running we will get a better understanding of what we need to do to this tractor which I suspect will be a full engine rebuild. Take care
I want to commend your parents on raising you Joseph. I wish more kids would get into this kind of stuff instead of screens. I'm sure your sister will get a chuckle at you using her stuff. If not now, she will in the future. Cheers
Thank you for the kind words. I do like to spend time on video games but not all the time like some people. I don't think my sister has seen the video yet :-) Take care
Great tip on line routing Joseph ! I have one for you as well, if you have some old ball bearings or even an assortment of fasteners like nuts and bolts they will increase results during the tank agitation time. Best of days to you and your family 👍
Hello Joseph, I like the new intro clip... I should update mine at some time... I like how you used a screwdriver to guide the pipe... Take care. Paul,,
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. I am not sure where we got the screwdriver trick from but it works well for lots of similar jobs. Take care
Hello, Just catching up on videos. I ended up catching covid and just haven't felt like watching videos. I'm feeling better today, no worst than a bad cold. Your sister is going to be so mad at you lol. I really like that screwdriver idea! You need to have your sister in one of your videos. Take care
Thanks. I am sorry to hear that you caught Covid and I am very pleased you are starting to feel better. I don't think my sister wants anything to do with my videos :-) Take care
Hi Joseph. I'm starting to feel bad for your sister 🤣 Good thing the fuel was shut off or that carb would have been a big pile of goo. I have a video out there of doing that same screwdriver trick with the fuel line. Great minds think alike. Have a great week my friend
Thanks 👍 I don't think my sister has seen the video yet :-) We were impressed by the condition of the carb. We are not sure where we picked up the screwdriver trick, I wonder if it was from your video. If so thank you very much. Take care
How's she goin'? I like you're new intro Joseph. Very nice indeed. I hope your sister doesn't watch your channel or you'll be in big trouble!!! LOL Nice to get the carb cleaned up. It didn't look too bad considering. I guess that what comes from having the fuel shut off and out of the carb. It'll be interesting to see how clean the tank comes after having your sister's nail polish remover in it for a week!! Take care!!
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. I don't think my sister has seen the video yet :-) We were surprised how good the carb was inside. Take care
I saw your video with your gas issues, not good. When the weather improves a bit more over here we will be getting all our tractors out and doing the same. Take care
We use to use pennies in tanks to slosh around to help clean. Just wondering if you checked the fuel pump for dirt. Great video as always Joseph. I never knew that Tecumseh’ could have a fuel pump. My MF 12 tractor with a HH120 Tecumseh doesn’t have a fuel pump.
Thanks, good idea to use pennies, we have put small stones in the tank to do the same job in the past. We did check the fuel pump, not sure if it was on camera. We have Tecumseh HH120 engines in a number of Bolens tractors and none of them have a fuel pump either. Take care
Good move with the screwdriver to pull the hose through. The world would be better off with one unit of measurement. So, when will the rest of the world convert (or convert back) to the Imperial system? :-) Thanks for sharing! - Rick
you are taking a big chance filching your sisters stuff, girls are meaner than boys are , you know? lol that fuel hose through the cooling shroud would be very hard to do other than the way you did it unless you wanted to take the shroud off.
My sister has not seen the video yet :-) We don't really like putting the pipe through the shroud as you can't see if it gets damaged but I think it is the best option for this engine. Take care
Hello Joseph, your videos are very interesting. Got a tractor with a snowblower as a gift. I don't know much about it, but I want to fix it and drive it. Unfortunately, you can no longer read a lot and I don't know what year I was built. I could only read model number 1055 and serial number 0103817. For the engine model number HH100-115181D and serial number 3071. Can you please help me? LG.from Austria
Thanks 👍 It is great to get a message from a bolens owner in Austria. Snow blowers are a rare attachment this side of the Atlantic. The model number 1055 is for a Bolens G10 and the first two digits of the serial number are also part of the model number, making yours a 1055-01. The 1055-01 was made in 1973 and 1974. The model number for the engine confirms that this is the original engine or if it has been replaced it was replaced with the correct one. I believe the engine serial number identifies the age. The first number is the year but you have to estimate the decade - 3 = 1973 and the next 3 numbers are the day it was made with 001 being 1st Jan. Engines were often made 2/3 month before the tractor but I believe this confirms your tractor was made in the first year of 1055-01 production - 1973. I am happy to help you where I can getting this working again, let me know what you have tried doing so far. It may be easier to send me an email (my email address is in the about tab). A picture of the tractor would be great. Take care
Good evening Joseph 😉 OUTSTANDING new intro video 👍🧐 Keep up your repurpose sence of humor toward you sister Joseph 🤣👌👍 You are doing a great help to her, I can not believe that it is acetone 🥴 Great sister tooth brush demo 🤣👌 Poor cameras mission task ( fuel tank ! ) 🥴🤣👌 OUTSTANDING fun video and keep up your OUTSTANDING work at School Joseph Cheers 👌🧐🍻

The good stuff continues. That is a GREAT tip on feeding the fuel line through the engine shroud. I'm definitely gonna use that! Looking forward to the first start!
Thanks. Without our screwdriver trick, it can be quite difficult to get the pipe to go through the shroud. Take care
It is so nice to see your sister helping out! I am sure she won’t notice! I really like your intro and great work on the carburetor cleaning!
Thanks, we wanted to make an intro that is similar in style to our workshop wednesday intro. We were surprised how clean the carb was, we were expecting a lot worse. Take care
Great job cleaning up the carb, replacing the hoses, and starting the tank cleanout process. Your sister won't notice...if she does, she may be thankful for the color added to her cleaner. It could now be used as green nail polish! 😂
Thanks. I think the smell of the nail polish remover may give the game away :-) Take care
Fuel just doesn't last like it used to and is destructive to a lot of the parts. We can always count on you during a proper job on any repair to the tractors. Thanks and take care Joseph
Thanks. We seem to spend as much on additives now as we do on fuel, which is not good. Take care and I hope you have a good week
Thanks for the fuel hose tip. Absolutely, Brilliant. That trick can be used in a lot of different applications. Enjoy the journey - cheers
Thanks, I am not sure where we picked up the screwdriver trick but it works well. Take care

Nice trick to get the fuel hose through the engine cover thanks for sharing and its nice you get along with your sister so well LOL
Thanks, the screwdriver trick works well for lots of jobs like this. I don't think my sister has seen the video yet :-) Take care

Hello Joseph,
I like how you cleaned the carb before you disassembled it and also your technique running the new fuel line through the shroud. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks. We always clean up the outside of a carb before opening up, it is far too easy to get dirt into it rather than cleaning it. Take care
I love the new intro video, I noticed some snow ❄️ 😉. 🤔 I wonder if your sister will notice her bottle and toothbrush are missing 🤔😉😂😂. Great cleanup Joseph. Have a great Sunday 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻

@@GardenTractorBoy , dang it! That’s twice I have been wrong this year and it’s only March
Nice work, Joseph! That was a pretty neat trick with the screwdriver, too! Thanks for sharing :) Cheers

the Raider 10 is coming along nicely. Looking good.

Thanks. Great tip, I will let the cameraman know as his job this week is cleaning out the tank. Take care
Great job done lucky the petrol pipes come off without falling to bits
Thanks. The pipes were stiff as a board but they had not started to fall apart. Take care
Nice job! Love the humor re: your sister!
Thank you very much. Take care and have a good week

Got your stickers yesterday 👍👍 I’ll be sending you some out soon

Just swap the green gas for the nail polish remover, basically the same stuff. I had my fits with gas problems today, and other issues. Take care.

Your making progress on the Raider. You sister may be chasing you around the house with a shoe.

Thanks. Imperial has our vote but I think it is going the other way. It is getting hard to even buy imperial tools over here now. Take care
Remember with the toothbrush: up and down not side to side. haha. That new hose looks good. What horsepower is this one?
Very funny LOL. The tractor has a 10hp Tecumseh engine, most Wheelhorses seem to have Kohler engines. Take care
Hello there!
Hello, good to see you
you are taking a big chance filching your sisters stuff, girls are meaner than boys are , you know? lol that fuel hose through the cooling shroud would be very hard to do other than the way you did it unless you wanted to take the shroud off.

Hello Joseph, your videos are very interesting. Got a tractor with a snowblower as a gift. I don't know much about it, but I want to fix it and drive it.
