Very good thx. We would lay them on the ground 5 mins running to warmup. Keep bits sharp! you got a good driller Get you a set of feathers and wedges, split some rocks Pull pts dress on oil stone reshape to factory specs
Hi! This is a float carb som you cant lay them down while running. Yes a friend of mine have som big rocks that we are going to drill and blast in a future video. /Richard
We used a similar one in the Swedish army. The name was “Pionjär” = Pioneer. It was a two stroke like this, could probably wake the dead when going full.
That's amazing. The carburetor looks very similar to a 1980's round-slide carb. All of your content is fascinating, As I've said before, you're like a time traveler. Thanks for sharing this stuff with us.
Yes that second piston is very interesting. I have another drill that needs new piston rings. I might make a video of tearing that down completely. /Richard
Your ability to get machines to cooperate is amazing! I have seen a similar machine that was made for packing dirt, but it operated at a much lower speed. The cylinder was very similar. I cannot imagine operating a machine like that daily to drill rock. It is also amazing that the carburetor was able to function reliably and had not been damaged by vibration.
I always look forward to your postings.. your logical approach to whatever problem you discover combined with your talent and mechanical skill are a joy to watch. I love that you preserve these various old and unique machines. Thank you for documenting this old rock drill and all of the other machines you’ve shown so far. I know you’ve “real” work to do and thank you for taking the time to record this. I’m looking forward to more of your returning the old and unique machines to a useful life .

Awesome! Its like a dirt bike engine with a drill bit attached, you need a belt loop to store the starting crank. Thanks for your effort, from Wisconsin USA
Good to see you back Richard!!! Another old machine I wish I had access to. I've drilled a lot of holes for "Tee" posts here on my farm using a rotary hammer drill meant for concrete. Your machine would be a giant step up! Well done and glad to see you back! The kids must be getting bigger now!
Bravo. It has been awhile and good to see you put out a video. The drill reminds me of an air hammer we use here in the states. Best to you and your fsmily
So good to see you, its great to see young people like yourself keeping the old machinery very much working when the newer has given up the ghost. So keep up the excellent work young man Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good to see you back. I also like old machines that can work. I don’t have much space for anything big. If I ever get to my grandfather’s birthplace, it would be nice to say hello. David Nordquist Pennsylvania, USA
First time viewer . Good to see old school mentality & tools still being used , unusual for a young fella 👍. Credit for not painting it too . Add 1 sub from England 🇬🇧
thanks for the videos! it has been a while and patience has its rewards ...more old machinery makes me believe we are loosing something through progress where it is obsolete before you bought it wears out before its service life and isnt designed to be repaired maintained or rejuvenated . personally i think its time to get rid of the safety guards and backup alarms but thats another topic lol. looking forward to more machines and the information you provide with them.
All I have ever seen before are air drills. But used the same for drilling holes for dynamite. So if you can get some dynamite you can blast all of those big rocks. You will be a full-fledged "powder monkey" and have a lot of fun at the same time. Would make a great video!
I was tasked with starting one of these that had sat for a long time. We used it for pounding 3 foot metal posts in the ground. It was so heavy and awkward that most of the time the guys opted to use a sledge hammer. I always had respect for these old pieces that were built when men were happy to have them.
So good to see you again!! Thanks for sharing what you do. That's a beautiful tool. Probably not something id use often, but for drilling to put rock breaking expanding cement it would be perfect!! I've lit fires on and then tipped iced water on big rocks to break them in the past. The drill would be more fun i think!!
Great to see you back i was wondering where you had got to a few days ago and Bam a new vid. You always have some interesting toys to play with. Great job on the filming, editing, and sound quality of your videos always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work and thanks for posting.
Ja 50kg... dom senare atlas copco väger ju bara 30kg. Men borrar gör den ju! Detta borret var ju helt slut egentligen. Har lånat ut alla mina bra kortborr. Men nästa video blir borrning och sprängning! /Richard
Great to see you back. Somehow it’s the season for content from, “yesterday’s machinery”. The drill is in amazing condition, I’d imagine the pressed steel housing to be pretty dented if it had had a hard life. Great find. Looking forwards to the terror of that chainsaw. Best from Switzerland.
The man returned when we missed him.
When the world needed him.
Are you sure about that like a Sandy seashore
Anyway, yeah he's the best! I think, anything Richard does is top notch! Love all the videos.
Awesome save of a great vintage piece.
I am VERY glad to see you back!!
Thank you mate. Glad to be back! /Richard
The genuine surprise on your face when a 100 pound hammer drill tore up your concrete floor cracked me up. You boys sure know how to party over there!
Great to see you back. Your knowledge of these old machines makes for very interesting video content.
That and he looks and acts like one of our sons!
Yes I’m glad your back . I could use that drill I have some rocks . Thanks for sharing it
Yes me too. Will be a part two! /Richard
Great old machine, great to see you back on the utubes. 👍
Hello from Tasmania. Nice to hear from you again hope everything’s well on your side of the world. Thanks Kerry
Hi. Yes all well here. Hope you are safe also. /Richard
Hey really nice to see a new upload from you!
Thanks for the show Richard 🍻🇦🇺
Thank you for watching! Helps out a lot! /Richard
Great to see you back .
What a cool rock drill.
Thank you 😊 /Richard
@ 6:20The amount of oil on the machine looks right . We ran then 12:1 back in the 1980's
Yes, they love oil! /Richard
Thanks for making, and download of this video, much appreciated, fascinating old machine.
Very good thx.
We would lay them on the ground 5 mins running to warmup.
Keep bits sharp! you got a good driller
Get you a set of feathers and wedges, split some rocks
Pull pts dress on oil stone reshape to factory specs
Hi! This is a float carb som you cant lay them down while running. Yes a friend of mine have som big rocks that we are going to drill and blast in a future video. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery The pionjar had a needle valve and choke, that was it. Thx for reply!
Nice rock drill you find some interesting stuff, Richard.
Another interesting and useful machine --There will be nothing still working in 50 years that is made toady - all the plastic parts will have failed
True. Nothing today is built to last. /Richard
Quick clean up and off you go, can't beat the old machines. as long as they're stored properly.
Good to see you back 👍
That is an incredible machine, excellent video as well. Thank you
Thank's mate /Richard
Awesome video. Glad to see you're doing good. 🔧🔧🔧
Thank you! /Richard
Lovely to see you back again. Your videos are informative and a joy to watch.
Such a neat old machine. Thanks for sharing
Sure is! Thank you. /Richard
That's a big, heavy and great designed machine.
I just remembered why I stopped drinking that stuff.
Stale fuel causes heartburn and the old lube makes problems tomorrow.
Very good to have you back. An extremely interesting machine which you skillfully rebuilt. More videos,please. 😂
What a nice noisy machine, thank you so much for sharing it!
Yes i had earplugs in the video. Thats to much noice even for me! /Richard
I hoped you would, looking at the straight pipe exhaust 🙂 @@YesterdaysMachinery
Great video, enjoyed it!
I've found a new home, right here watching anything you do. Love it
Wow! Such a beautiful piece of machinery! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you back. We certainly look forward to your videos and adventures. All the best.
Thank you mate. /Richard
An interesting piece of equipment. Good to see you back.
Very interesting machine, what a great find. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! /Richard
We used a similar one in the Swedish army. The name was “Pionjär” = Pioneer.
It was a two stroke like this, could probably wake the dead when going full.
Used one of those too, in Canada. Yellow beast, very good tho
Awesome video, that's one cool looking and working rock drill, like the starting handle, no silly pull start 👍👍
Yes, the crank handle actually worked better than i thought when it is so easy started! /Richard
When you spit into that fire I almost fell off my chair great video take care
So good to see you Richard. 🇦🇺
Thank you! /Richard
Woohoo! Benefit of insomnia: being awake when a Yesterday’s Machinery video drops!
Me too!
Welcome back wicked machine, hope you get some use out of it👍
thank you i really enjoy all your videos
Awesome love the old machinery! Glad to see you again. 👍
Thanks! /Richard
Good to see you again ! Thank you !
That's amazing. The carburetor looks very similar to a 1980's round-slide carb. All of your content is fascinating, As I've said before, you're like a time traveler. Thanks for sharing this stuff with us.
Looks like vespa carburetors of the late 40s with the side bowl
So good to see you back. What a machine, its always nice when all they need is a good clean and away they go.
Yes, well working condition is what i like. Totally restored things have lost a little bit of its soul. /Richard
Great content, very likable and educating!
So fine to have a new video from you!
Best wishes from George in Herefordshire, UK.
Thank's! Regards /Richard
Brilliant video glad your back more please
Just love your videos and these old machines. Thank you.
Thank you Mate! /Richard
Love watching the old machinery you are able to get running and use again, keep up the amazing work. Glad your back at it.
Thank you! /Richard
That is a good old rock drill and it is nice to see you back my friend......Thanks very much 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
That was utterly fantastic ... and I agree, very scary!
Thanks for showing how it worked, i would never had thought of the second piston.
Yes that second piston is very interesting. I have another drill that needs new piston rings. I might make a video of tearing that down completely. /Richard
Great to see you back, missed you! Always entertaining and fun to watch.
Excellent machine, excellent video, thanks.

Hi! Thank you. I wil try to make more videos. But time is a difficult thing to master. /Richard
I check back all the time hoping there's a new video. I'm not disappointed today. Great video and very unique piece of equipment! Thanks
What an absolute beast that machine is! Well done content - as usual.
Yes, everything he does is top quality. He is THE BEST.
Awesome! Its like a dirt bike engine with a drill bit attached, you need a belt loop to store the starting crank. Thanks for your effort, from Wisconsin USA
Thank you! Yes that would be nice. Sad to trow it on the ground every time. /Richard

Hi! Thank you. Yes they grow faster, my oldest is soon 6years and she has realised the joy of riding quad now, and she has no limits either 😅 /Richard
Great to see you and your wonderful machines again😎👍
Thank you mate 😎 /Richard
So glad I started watching ur videos, so inspiring!!🤩🔥
I love this Chanel. Good to see you back 🇬🇧
Great machine there Richard ! Always good to see you bring them to life ! Best regards from Arizona USA ! 🌵
Bravo. It has been awhile and good to see you put out a video. The drill reminds me of an air hammer we use here in the states.
Best to you and your fsmily
Thank's! Yes air powered drills was guite common here as well. /Richard
Thank you for your videos! My first TH-cam channel and still my favorite.
Great find, and nicely tweaked and cleaned - to give function! Seems a really good machine. Nice job.
So good to see you, its great to see young people like yourself keeping the old machinery very much working when the newer has given up the ghost. So keep up the excellent work young man Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Good to see you back! Nice video as usual.
Intressant video ! Vilket häftig borrmaskin !
Would be a fun project to restore like new. I bet those old machines made men old before their time. A day with that would wear you out😢
Happy to see your still around! Missed your videos.
It's good to see you back, I trust that all is well. 👍
Richard did you find aquavit in that gas tank ? 🤣🤣🤣

it sooooo good to see you againg... Was a bit worried there fore a while.... Now you are back ....no worries. im happy!
Very happy that you are back!! Always great content.

Hi! Then be prepared for part 2 of this video because thats is the content 😎 /Richard
Looking forward to it!!@@YesterdaysMachinery
I was tasked with starting one of these that had sat for a long time. We used it for pounding 3 foot metal posts in the ground. It was so heavy and awkward that most of the time the guys opted to use a sledge hammer. I always had respect for these old pieces that were built when men were happy to have them.
Awesome effort getting it to run. And it looks like it can still do the job as well... Thumbs Up!
So good to see you again!!
Thanks for sharing what you do.
That's a beautiful tool. Probably not something id use often, but for drilling to put rock breaking expanding cement it would be perfect!!
I've lit fires on and then tipped iced water on big rocks to break them in the past.
The drill would be more fun i think!!
Ps, you should be careful drinking and operating heavy machinery!
The fire looked like it enjoyed the glass for you though!!
Nice piece there as usual and good to see you back.
Thank you Richard.
Thank you! /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery I'd love to see more of the Forest Bear
Great to see you back i was wondering where you had got to a few days ago and Bam a new vid. You always have some interesting toys to play with. Great job on the filming, editing, and sound quality of your videos always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work and thanks for posting.
Thank you! Next video is drilling and blasting big rocks! /Richard
Glad to see you back, nice job!
Very interesting video on the old rock drill.
Wonderful old machine ❤. Looks like it went into storage shortly after it’s rebuild in the 50s.👍🏴
Another neat machine.. Thank you for sharing!
That thing is awesome, and it was in very good shape to start with. I hope you get to use it around the farm.
Yes, next video i will go out to a friend and drill and blast rocks! /Richard
Wow vilken best.. Inget slår gammal teknik. Speciellt svensk. 👍
Bra jobbat.
Ja 50kg... dom senare atlas copco väger ju bara 30kg. Men borrar gör den ju! Detta borret var ju helt slut egentligen. Har lånat ut alla mina bra kortborr. Men nästa video blir borrning och sprängning! /Richard
Wow, what dexterity! Well done!
I'll get one! My neighbors will definitely love it too!
If i was your neighbour i would be happy! /Richard
Interesting mechanism, and appears to be very effective!
Great to see you back. Missed ya!
It's been too long but you came back with a good one. Quite enjoyable to watch and amazing to see how effective it is in operation.
Thank you! /Richard
So glad to see you again. Truly enjoy all your videos. I do hope all has been well with you and your family, thanks for the videos!
Yes we are all godd! Thanks! /Richard
very cool that it ran. I need to find a video that shows the guts now.
What a cool old drill. Firing it up on your shop floor had me worried haha.
Haha, made a 1" deep hole 😅 /Richard
In the 1940s , i remember my uncle using a similar unit in his railroad job .Various bits for digging , tamping etc .
Beautiful piece of machinery. Is the rotation working? I can't tell.
Hi! Yes works very well. Around 1 turn every 2 secons. /
