It is indeed a wonder it exists 99 1/2 years later in any condition and for it to be in running condition makes it worthy of being shown and for people to admire it.
I've seen alot of antique gas, steam, and diesel engines, but this is the first time I've heard someone explain the "peace pipe" carburetor. I need to see one up close and apart now! Very cool!
What a fabulous piece of engineering and metal work for the times. Made very well for the times. Thanks for showing us a real time machine. Thanks for sharing.
I really love the history lesson from Mike, also these old engines were an amazing piece of engineering for their time. Thanks for keeping them going and educating us. I miss engine shows.
@@805ROADKING I finally shot some video of my Dad's kickstart rototiller motor today. I'll post it soon, maybe you can tell me what kind of engine it is.
I would be weak in the knees standing next to that F! What a work of art it is! Glad to see ya'll are having fun and staying healthy! Great work (as always) on the FH build, too! Keep on keepin' on, gentleman!
First, I love seeing the old intro/outro videos. It sounded like a hit and miss engine when it first started up, but it was great to see. Always great to see Mike "The Professor" explain the history of the old girl and how things worked back in the day.
So cool 1921? That is a valuable engine. I hope Briggs contacts you in a year or so for some lessons. Thank you Gentleman. The hot dog muffler is a wonderful thing I have a box of them.
A working antique,....naw don't say it! Great to have this Briggs & Stratton collectible,...I'd sure protect and save this one too,..but you're right ROADKING, it does need to be 'presented' at every opportunity.
Many years ago i had a model PB briggs from 1921 it was missing the carb it used the same block and F head configuration as the model D motor wheel i have also seen it,s older brother the model p that used a fan driven off of the flywheel with a small flat belt i think the model P came out in either 1919 or 1920 briggs bought the rights to build the motor wheel in 1918 increased the horsepower from 1/2 horsepower to 1 horsepower the wheel is driven off the camshaft the camshaft has 4 lobes the output on the cam is 8 -1 also i do have a few obsolete briggs parts and john lauson parts
Standard coil and points behind the flywheel!! There is a good look at it in the other video you commented on at 4:48 (Extremely Rare Briggs Engine)!!☺
How's it going j Road king say I just picked up an ingersol air compressor from the 1920s about 4.5ft long and was wondering if you knew where I could get more information about it if at all ha
That's the first engine that I don't wanna see on a go-cart. It's too cherry. The basket case needs a twin sister, those two could drive a go-cart really well. That'd be cool. One engine per drive wheel. You could steer it with throttle control
Iv been looking for a model F for years but this is Briggs second design the original design would be the motor wheel which in reality was the smith motor wheel the smith motor wheel was the original company that Briggs acquired so to say the Briggs motor wheel is a smith Motor wheel that Briggs improved then Briggs made the the motor wheel stationary in 1921 but it wasn’t the model F it was the model P engine this was the first stationary multi purpose engine the model F following . Briggs decided that the model P needed better cooling the original force cooling was a little belt driven fan on both model P and F as well as the second design version of the model F called the FB which had a better oiling system getting rid of the glass oiler. the model FB also had a improved exhaust rocker as well made of cast bronze instead of stamp steel the three engines the model F Fb P got improved forced air cooling this was the first system to use a built in fan flywheel /blower housing set up. the model that used this forced cooling system was the model P in which became the PB the model FB also received this first style flywheel blower housing. this housing has a scallop on one side the purpose for this is to clear the cylinder on the model PB engine so to say the model PB is the first blower housing engine Briggs produced the model FB also used this housing as well becoming the first of the F series to use the flywheel/blower housing cooling. So you have it first Briggs the motor wheel. Second Briggs the model P . Third the model F then the improved cooling versions the PB and FB these were the first of the Briggs design series that set the standards . Then Briggs third design L head engines the model Q was the first L head design followed by the FJ and so on also note the model FI was the first overhead rocker arm engine with both intake and exhaust actuated valve engine Briggs produced
We never get "enuff of this"... thank you for hours of content!
Thanks alot Walt!!☺
99 1/2 years old I would be farting and spiting too. Well done guys.
Thanks Jack!!☺
Indeed
Really like the Model A opening.
Thanks Joe!!☺
Love seeing the F up and running! Amazing how simple old school engines start and, run! Man what a cool piece that is. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah that's something, the more modern stuff they put on them the worse they start and run!!☺
That is super awesome, I thought my 1985 3.5hp Briggs is old, this is fantastic and beautiful, thanks for sharing

Thanks D!! We enjoy starting it up every once in a while!!☺
Absolutely fantastic. I enjoy seeing and hearing these old engines, the marvel of their age and still marvelous today.
Thanks George!! Ya gotta love the old iron!!☺
HELL I would like to see one of the new engines last 99 years
I really love the history lesson from Mike, also these old engines were an amazing piece of engineering for their time. Thanks for keeping them going and educating us. I miss engine shows.
Yeah Buddy!! We miss the Engine Shows too!!☺
Thanks, history displays of older engine's find interesting.
Thanks George!!☺
It's amazing that it's still running after all these years. Original paint too...how cool. Great stuff guys!
Thanks Buddy!! It is pretty amazing!! The only work ever done to it was rewinding the coil!!☺

@@RamblinAround Will do Mate!!☺
I smiled when the engine easily started on the first pull. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Chris!! It's a common reaction, Me and Mike do it all the time!!☺
It sure is fun to watch the little old engines run
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
I would be weak in the knees standing next to that F! What a work of art it is! Glad to see ya'll are having fun and staying healthy! Great work (as always) on the FH build, too! Keep on keepin' on, gentleman!
Thanks alot Derek!!☺
@@805ROADKING You're very welcome, sir!
What a great project. I've never seen an engine that old before so this was a real treat. Thanks guys.
Thanks Wyatt!! That's the Pride of the Fleet!!☺
Videos are great. Glad I found you guys
New engine for the old washing machine. Thanks for the video RK. She's a gem.
Thanks for watching Wayne!!☺

That engine is about as old as you two combined. Very nice engine to have in the collection.
Thanks Ron!! The engine still has about 10 years on both of us!!☺
So cool 1921? That is a valuable engine. I hope Briggs contacts you in a year or so for some lessons. Thank you Gentleman. The hot dog muffler is a wonderful thing I have a box of them.
I'd say the Hot Dog Muff has withstood the test of time eh!!☺
That's a KEEPER...Fo Sho! You all continue to have FUN, and Stay Safe! ...Newk from Kentucky
Yeah Buddy!! We're gonna put it in our will for Mike!!☺
Super rare, and with a low # like that King it is worth a quite a bit .. I love the old engines man !! ENJOYED
Thanks for checking it out Buddy!!☺
Fantastic it still runs so well.
Yeah Buddy!! It's pretty amazing!! The only work ever done to it was rewinding the coil!!☺
The engineering of that engine is marvelous! Great stuff! 😃👍
Thanks Buddy!! We enjoy starting it up every once in a while!!☺
That's a cool old engine! It was fun to see it run!
Thanks Dad!! We enjoy starting it up every once in a while!!☺
What a collector's engine. Love to hear stuff like that run.
Thanks Buddy!!☺
Awesome engine. Thanks for sharing it runs great You need to take care of that one roadking.
Thanks Bob!! Yeah this one is a Keeper!!☺
Mike: 'I'd drain the fluids and put it on a shelf'
Me: Mmmmm gokart >:D
A working antique,....naw don't say it!

The oil system is interest, having to make sure it doesn't overfill with time
They only used that system for a few years, Guess they figured there had to be a better way!!☺
Your so lucky to have that engine, what a Gem Buddy👍
Thanks Buddy!!☺
What a cool piece of history!
Thanks Tony!!☺
I guess there is going to be a birthday party video coming up beautiful piece Road King say hi to the men for me thanks for sharing
Yeah Buddy!! Every 100 year old deserves a party!!☺
Mike, since you rewound the coil, what is the information you used to make that happen ??? The gauge the insulation type the number of winds ?? Thanks
36ga 9000 winds!!☺
@@805ROADKING I would be really interested in the process and probbbby others on TH-cam
All that old tech AND leaded gas. Using a substitute today works just as well.
That's a sweet engine!
Thanks Matt!!☺
Sweet little engine, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Buddy!!☺
Wow, I'm stunned by how well it runs after 100 years.
Yeah it's pretty amazing!! The only work ever done to it was rewinding the coil!!☺
I love it what a great piece of history
With as any as you all repair you should start a briggs and stratton museum
I have one identical to it my dad bought it at a auction for 9 dollers years ago
Many years ago i had a model PB briggs from 1921 it was missing the carb it used the same block and F head configuration as the model D motor wheel i have also seen it,s older brother the model p that used a fan driven off of the flywheel with a small flat belt i think the model P came out in either 1919 or 1920 briggs bought the rights to build the motor wheel in 1918 increased the horsepower from 1/2 horsepower to 1 horsepower the wheel is driven off the camshaft the camshaft has 4 lobes the output on the cam is 8 -1 also i do have a few obsolete briggs parts and john lauson parts
Thanks for the info Jim!! Good stuff!!☺
Where and what kind of ignition does this briggs have ? Very nice engine.
Standard coil and points behind the flywheel!! There is a good look at it in the other video you commented on at 4:48 (Extremely Rare Briggs Engine)!!☺
I enjoyed your 'guest' I watch him on TH-cam too!
Very cool guys
How's it going j
Road king say I just picked up an ingersol air compressor from the 1920s about 4.5ft long and was wondering if you knew where I could get more information about it if at all ha
Just google "Antique Compressor Forums"!! There are a few that might be able to answer some questions!!☺
Very cool
That is awesome!
Awesome
Repair it! Piece of cake for you two.
It’ll be gnawing at ya now, won’t it?
Lol!! Yeah you're right, it will wind up getting fixed!!☺
They're easier to start due to much lower compression.
very cool...
Thanks Bud!!☺
When are you going to do something with that 57 Chevy
Probably when we stop doing work in the garage!! It just needs paint and the chrome installed!!☺

What ever became of the radial Briggs?
We had to shelve it till Mike retires!! We just don't have the time to dedicate to it right now!!☺
Nice 👍 love it
Thanks Joe!!☺
Like #79
Thanks for the video!
Thanks Dan!!☺
Back when B&S actually made a decent engine, or should I say, before they started making disposable engines.
Where is the gas tank road king
The gas tank is the base of the engine and there is a small oil pan in the top of the base separated by a gasket!!☺
I turned 35 today and I wish I could start up that easily, though coughing and farting is a thing with me, so, some things in common at least... :P
One horsepower can move 550 lbs 1 foot in 1 second. The average grown man is equivalent to 1/2 horsepower at peak output lol just the facts ma’am
Almost as old as you. OH! Woops sorry there buddy.
Oh Waldo, with all your problems I hope you make it to my age eh!!☺
RIP Briggs an Stranton. I sure hope the Chinese don't end up with it. Their Kungflu is partially responsible. The HF engines for the rest.
