When the guy that owns the place is rolling around on the ground with grease under his fingernails to get pieces running for the amusement of total strangers, one word comes to mind, RESPECT
He dirties his hands for the videos. Washes up and goes back to his office.
@@alexstewart9068 that's probably true except his office is the mechanic shop at the museum

Hahaha. I just like to tease people who assume things they see on TH-cam are real. I watch every video these guys out out...and of course they check the bikes first then start them up for dramatic effect. It's tv. Kinda. They'd be real mad if they grabbed a hundred years old bike, didn't check out and cracked a cylinder.
@@alexstewart9068 I'm sure they have a procedure... but nobody wants to sit through a 40 minute video of them checking the oil checking plug wires,air filter, carburetor connections, and functionality of other parts they do a great job of editing the video to remain informative but not lose people in the minor details and protocols for 100+year old motorcycles
I thought they collected and displayed these bikes for profit. Huh. People doing things from the goodness of the heart. Interesting concept.
Pretty surprised it broke the ground as well as it did! It looks to be a cultivator or tiller, which would be used after plowing to further loosen soil rather than breaking it like a plow. Awesome stuff as always. Cheers from Alberta.
That is so cool! I love the homemade exhibit. Those pieces show the ingenuity of folks from that era. Necessity is truly the mother of invention. Thanks Matt!
I can honestly say between the ear to ear smile and the laughter, you never had so much fun tearing up the yard. Nice job bring it back to life.
It's hard to wrap your head around how old that thing is. Most people had no electricity. They lit their houses with lanterns. No television, few radios, few record players, few automobiles, dirt roads, no traffic lights, no telephones, newspaper or nothing. I don't think anybody had cameras except professional photographers.
Cameras were available for the masses in the usa starting in the early 1900s. The Kodak Brownie was an affordable one, made out of cardboard.
Taking pictures wasn't a daily or weekly thing for most people, but many could afford to shoot a few rolls per year.
When that thing fired off and threw nuts and bolts everywhere, Matt's laugh sounded like Professor Fate from the Great Race
Really cool.
I thought he sounded just like his Dad…
Speaking as someone who has hunted for traction behind several David Bradleys, I'm jealous!
Looks like its time to plant a Victory Garden!
I'm an old fart, Roy so I remember the victory garden very well.
Ll
Watching Dale use that tiller is a Merry Christmas to me 1919 powered tiller.Awesome.
Cool! Being an old vintage Harley mechanic I love this kind of stuff!
I remember in the early 70s. My grandfather had a old farmall f 20 tractor it had a rod Bearing Knock he never had the money to get it fixed properly. But he always had old leather belts soaking an oil. And he would take the bottom of the connecting arm off and put in a shim of oil soaked leather. And tighten it up. He changed the leather about 3 times every summer. The motor always ran. And it ran well. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. And hello from romulus Michigan and GOD-BLESS
That would be a spring tooth harrow, normally you would plow first, then break up the big clumps with the harrow to smooth it out, that machine would separate the men from the boys as my dad would say.
It really works well, you can see that with some practice you could get good at running it. I garden big and I have some David Bradley's and a Gravely sitting around. That thing made my heart go pitty pat. It makes you wonder what the old boy that invented it did for a plow and a disc? Did he make a doodlebug out of a Harley? A model T?
Absolutely. Use one on my '41 9N after plowing.
and maybe separate the toes from the man
The man that had to run that back in 1930 probably slept good after a day of plowing.
Had to be full-grown to work that Beast
Love it! Matt, when it fired up and you laughed, you sounded just like your Dad! Keep up the great work!
Thats awesome & to
think that very machine once provided for the family that built it
Back in 1966 I was 13 and we just got a cement block utility room addition to the back of our house for an indoor toilet and mom's wringer washer.. Dad came home and carried a motorcycle frame & several boxes of parts and wheels in thru the kitchen to that room. Mom was not happy! Over the next several months as I was on the toilet from time to time I would see the progress with what turned out to be a 45 cu. in. Harley Davidson late 40 or early 50? Don't remember what year it was , if I ever knew...So I would have an emotional breakdown if I won this bike.I am trying to track down my Dad's original Harley and discovered he sold it to Kenny McNinch in Mayville Michigan.I know it was still in his possession as of a few years ago...So.. As time goes by..I am hoping and dreaming...Thank you for your Museum and videos about it... Very important history.. You all connected with the Museum are my Heroes.
Ya, A sub forum with true HD first stories. Had a 74-74 Got married full time job. Kids. Traded the
decker for a buss. Now. Kids are out working, The wife is gone. Now I have a soft tail and a buss.
Life is GOOD.
Mad maxing things before it became a thing. So cool our inventive ancestors. Love these homemade , useful inventions.
Amazing American ingenuity! Thanks for sharing this piece of history.
Not only get it running but to actually use it was very cool to see
This is what happens when Dale isn’t around to tell him DONT GO TEARING UP THE FRIGGIN FRONT YARD..🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
Dale would have done it happily 🤣
Ha Ha. Looks and sounds like Matt is one of the few Bosses that people like to work with.
His old man would be very proud.
@@lignow9762
I have no doubt Dale was hard…
But ya…, I would think he’d be proud as hell
Great to see it working.
The mad professor laugh is a perfect fit for this machine
Now that's a Lawn Job!
This reminds me of some of the stuff my Grandfather built.
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, and he had a lot of necessity, having 12 kids. He subsistence farmed, worked as a welder, machinist and mechanic, and hired the kids out to work chopping and picking cotton.
He built a metal lathe from scraps, that had 2 automotive transmissions to control speed and feed.
A portable welder that had a ford 4cyl flathead and all maner of other things.
Sometimes when I smell old oil and grease it takes me back to his workshop.
She was just starting to get into working again when you shut her down.
Sprinkle that patch with radish, turnip, and wildflower seeds.
Then when you stop to see the pretty flowers you can pull up a snack.
Matt, now you can start a little vegi market for the customers.
I certainly appreciate things like this. I own a couple of homebuilt tractors, and the mechanical engineering just floors me, I just love this stuff. The more moving hoobidoos it has, the more I like it!!
👍👍
That is fantastic, Matt. I share your enthusiasm! Love it!
I can’t believe how easy that started. Great video! 👍🏽
Awesome brother
That is so cool!! Would love to see more like that.
Dale is PISSED but laughing... "You tore up my yard!! Damn Kids"...... but with a piece of History!!
Thank You for a GREAT video..!!
More like this Please!!
Great to see you work on some awesome machinery.
Just watched this one. Matt, you are your dads son. What a trip. That was awesome.
Enjoy your videos.love the museum.never get tired of stopping by when im in your area.i used to stop and talk to Dale when he was in Mt veron Illinois.Great person.Thats so much for caring on.
Dale comes back and says What The Crap happened here lol. Awesome video job well done guys.
Matt your excitement is awesome it makes me think of how the creator of this machine would've felt the first time that it came to life always Great entertainment Thanks for sharing and keeping them running
Ya. 1919 . I wonder if he rented it out. Horses are still good eating.
The snow blower was from my friends father... Mr. Payson, I would love to hear it run and I am sure my buddy Gregg would like that too! I fact, I put you in touch with the Payson's to get the History on the Machine. Great Videos Guys! thanks for what you do.
What an awesome piece of history!!! Thanks Matt for bringing us these snippets of history through your videos!
Geeze I have that much trouble turning my troybuilt horse tiller !!
What a fantastic thing to watch to get me Inspired on the Monday morning. Imagine matt saying to you 'grab my 16 cut down dude' a pleasure as always WTT ❤❤
God, does that bring memories of my grandfather and dad build a tiller come trailer pulling beast out of a ariel square 4 1000cc motorcycle for my grandfathers small holding and forestry work i spent many of a journey on the back off it god bless you all for fantastic videos ❤
It’s fantastic that this classically powered tiller is still running, it’s a testament to the skill of its creator who built it out of necessity. And if you ever find a frame and forks and wheels, which you just might have around that’ll fit… I can see you putting a “new” bike on display there. BTW, what size is the engine, as you seemed to not want to say it was a 45 earlier in video, is it a 61” ? TY for another great video
A wheel lock, and a seat. 1919 still looking for the bike,it's probably around there somewhere. Damn nice tractor.
That was great! Thanks for all the explanations. I love it when someone that's really knowledgeable explains what they're doing in such a clear way. And it's a fascinating bit of history to see come to life.
I wish I lived close I would love to work at your place. I love everything your dad has created and thank you for being into everything just as much. I love every video
You can hear the family heritage in your laugh when that motor fired.
Thanks Matt! Very interesting machinery!
The Museum That Runs - Through The Garden! Excellent video, guys! Thank you for it! Great work!
One day I'm gonna come see that museum.
I as well
I have seen many walk behind tractors but this one takes the cake! Very cool to have this on display!
I love the pre 1930s bikes and I enjoy seeing your videos on the bikes, but I honestly had more interest and reaction to this video than maybe any other W.T.T. has put out. It is really cool to see something different on occasion from here. That was so cool to see and then see that American home made machine fixed and working dirt!
Glad you're enjoying! If you like that, we have something new coming up that you'll love!
That stuff is so cool because that stuff shows ingenuity when people needed something to do a job and made life easier or more fun.
That is set up as a cultivator, designed to weed a truck (Victory) garden. My question is whether or not one could put a two-bottom plow on that. Certainly the HD motor would be able to do the plowing. So, the wheels: They are designed to go through loamy soil. And, in the springtime, depending on the amount of rain, you could be in a pretty sticky morass. So they’re metal wheels with paddles that will pull you through that. And, now you know what hard work farming could be. Farmers tinkered. My grandfather had a one-cylinder hit-and-miss engine that he used to pump water. That HD motor would have been overkill, as it had too many horsepower. I saw the hit-and-miss motor running in the mid to late 1960s-he still occasionally used it to fill a tank with water for cattle to drink. Three cheers to you for getting this one back up and running. I thought I would fill you in a bit on the kind of farm operation that might have been used for.
The engine is now 103 years old and runs like it did on the first day, that's Quality! Greetings from south-east Bavaria (Germany)
Great stuff. Your Dad would be smiling at that one👍. A cool tool!
I gave thumbs up for the spark tester. Awesome video thanks Matt.
love this kind of stuff, watchin you guys get the old stuff runin...AWESOME
Great to see that old Plough come back to life, and you gotta admire the guy that made it happen through necessity. Now plant some potatoes!! Greetings from Australia.
WOW!!! This was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing - that is an AWESOME piece of history right there and it's really impressive that someone built that by hand a hundred years ago! I love seeing this king of stuff and I really appreciate all that you do and contribute to the motorcycle culture and industry! Your Dad would be so proud of you and I'm sure he already is looking down from Heaven! God Bless Dale and the Wheels Through Time Family!
Awesome to see you continuing on fulfilling your father's dreams no doubt he is very proud of you. Keep up all the great work and finds. Merry Christmas to you all.
Awesome it works great.....A time machine of things to come....Thanks guy's excellent video....!
great video!
I love how your stuff always starts. Because you make sure before you pick up a camera to to make sure it works.
This video was done in about one hour, with the first start capture in the video. All you need is compression, spark and fuel....they all will run!
@@mattwalksler hey Matt don't let him bother you, I've seen rusted worn out junk runstraight out of the weeds/ junk pile.... rust and mouse nest come out the exhaust sometimes an intake pop and small fire, but this was all pre youtube days we weren't looking to tell a story or preserving history we just wanted to make that thing run we accepted the challenge... keep that museum running we love it
Wow Matt, I can tell you that was thee funnest video I have seen since forever! Thanks for making and sharing that one. I was lucky enough to meet and talk to your Dad on my visit there some years ago. I look forward to my next visit to the museum hopefully this coming summer.
A awesome machine . I love the way it's cleverly designed ! Thanks for sharing !
Coolest thing!THANKS for the SHOW!
I could watch Matt’s videos all day long. Always fascinating!
awesome guys great to see the ingenuity behind these machines
This video made me smile. Thanks Matt🤘
Way cool ! Thanks for the video!!!
I've been a machinery mechanic for 50+ years and do appreciate old equipment thanks brings me back to when I used to have to make parts for ancient machines
when that thing cranked up it put a smile on my face sounds great
What a beast! Old Saw mills in Alpena Michigan use all kinds of power plants. Nothing motorcycle powered that I'm aware of.
Straight 8 Buick engines were popular sawmill power units here in NW N.C..
Holy time machine. They just don't build them like that these days. Great work brightened my morning.
Man that’s incredible!
Wow!! Thanks Matt for getting that monster going and showing it to us all!!
Excellent, I laughed out loud with this. Great job Matt. Thanks.
You know that the model D gravely was based on an Indian engine. The 1937 gravely engine that was used until 1977 had a crankshaft made from two flywheels pressed together with a crank pin. Gravely is still in business has its roots in the motorcycle industry.
I worked at a Lumberyard in Kansas as a boy. It had been a Gravely dealership for many years. I used to sit around and read old catalogs and ads. We still had a large parts inventory and did some service. We mostly dealt with L models. It's amazing the sheer number of attachments you could get for Gravely's. They made everything from sickle mowers to planters for D's and L's both. It was all good quality stuff.
Your dad is smiling from above!! Good Job Matt
This was fun to watch. I would like to see more of this inventive machinery run! Its folk art for machinery lovers!
You're right about the scrap drives during World War II. My father told me stories of all the stuff that went away that in later years are like gold now. We don't understand how hard it was for people then, and everything was about helping the war effort .
They were smart to repurpose/recycle things when they could, or we wouldn't have these Treasures to look at now.
Wow! That's INCREDIBLE, Works Fantastic! Great Job! See you On The NEXT One!!
that my lads was the most entertanement i have ever seen thank you you get ten stars for that one
Simply awesome. We need a bunch of Walk behind forward tine tiller and 10 acres.
That was one of the most fun videos I have ever seen!!!
Can hardly remember a funner one!
That amazing piece of machinery was born of the mind and hands of a true genius ... A pleasure to see.
That's awesome!!!!!
I would enjoy if you did more of the motor work and such like you just did.
Old bikes are the best.
I love this channel
What a piece of innovation and history!
What a really cool old beast, love the channel and keep it up mate 👌
That was fun , good job. Thank you. Cheers
There isn’t a thing made in today’s age and time that will start after 70 plus years.
Stuff was built to last back then.And also wanted to say Your dad (Dale) Is looking down and a big thumbs up and an approval has been given!👍🏻Must make it down to the museum before winter or next year for sure.Thanks for keeping old motorcycles and great AMERICAN
history alive👍🏻🍻
Cool. Great job thanks for sharing
Here in the UK we had a couple of nice Rotovator garden tractors made by Howard called the Gem. There was a 600cc single and 750cc JAP V Twin flathead and many of these found their way into motorbike frames, mine included. Both types of engines and machines still appear on ebay from time to time.
Awesome !!
Absolutely badass. What a gem.
That Matt...was BADASS....im wore-out just watching ya🤗😎
Love the looks of this vintage stuff, took many many years to look that way, I'm sure when they built your "tiller" it wasn't all shiny...be safe...God Bless!!
Love that Museum ,been there many times
There is nothing like getting an old antique piece of machinery running. Good job 👍
Hmm ! International Harvester powered by Harley Davidson. Thanks Matt.
Oid is gold. Really super cool machine.
Absolutely awesome guys
