Knowledge on machinery repair will always have value, those who don't have it end up in the fields harvesting.
You try and explain to someone that watching a lad rebuild a lawnmower engine is incredibly relaxing and they'll bloody laugh at you!
Their loss! 😊More for me!
Only understood by men like us. Cheers from Australia
That is a perfect restoration of that old school brigg's very nice .... !!!!!!
my wife and I thought the same lol
I really like your videos on rebuilding garden machinery. So relaxing to watch after a long day. I prefer the ones when you just put up text and we can here birds singing. Not that you have a great voice for dialogue...i like the no talking just watching concept...like other resto channels. Great work...👍🇬🇧
I couldn't stop watching and was on the edge of my seat when that spark plug got screwed in!!! First rebuild I've seen and it was awesome! Thanks for the video!
I have watched so many restoration videos ! I’m a marine engineer specializing in marine locomotive engines. This is something I would love to get into. Something to do in my off time and retirement. I’ve learned a lot about small engines from these types of videos and I’m motivated!

You talking about my Cub Cadet 107? If so they are great tractors to get into working on, there's still replacement parts available for them and they are real easy and fun to work on. Just don't ever expect me to sell my 107...
I don't have too much experience with Craftsmans, but I hear the older ones are good tractors. However after using my big Cub Cadets I don't think I could ever downgrade to a craftsman machine.
@Michael Fresh yeah probably shoulda kept the wheel horses those are cool machines. I don't own any but I know someone with one.
Dang, man I really wonder how they managed to crack up the oil case that much... I don't think you could cause that much engine damage without like really abusing the machine...
Haven't watched yet, but it's a Briggs & Stratton. Of course it's going to run.
Belongs in the Briggs and Stratton museum
I have a black Briggs & Stratton engine that used to belong to a sprayer but the sprayer probably got taken apart so now me and my dad want to put it on a go-kart he wants to build with me
This is awesome, to take a basket of parts, spend a few days cleaning the parts and to assemble everything and cut grass. Truly awesome. I find that most, not all lawn , mowers can be fixed with just a simple carb cleaning and PM service. The concept now is, if it wont run, junk it and buy another one. I love junking round old barns and “FREE” piles on the road, never know what you might find. One mans junk is another man’s treasure. Great job.
5:48 Can you do a restoration of that garden chair? XD
🤣
Can he restore The original starter rope and restore the original air filter
>:-p
Lol. I wanted to say almost the same thing... 😂😂😂 Why not sand blasting quickly the chair? 🤔
@@nrette I think a quick jetwash should be enough.
Just used this video to diagnose issues with a victa tiller 100 series 6 i bought yesterday. Pulling apart the carb, the pump spring was on the wrong side of the diaphragm! It still (just) ran. I never would have known without the video! Cheers!
a guy i know who built rally engines used an old dishwasher using the cleaning liquid instead water including the heating function and it cleaned the parts spotlessly also another advantage was the the cases were so hot that he was able to insert bearings as soon as it came out of the washer
When they rebuild automatic transmissions they have what is the equivalent larger dishwasher works great.
@@tetontent I have a temco t10 I bought for $300, works great but I wish it was a little smaller heating 60 gallons kinda sucks
My instructor at UTI told us about the old dishwasher "partswasher" for projects too lol
@@leocorral oh lordy........which one were you at?
@@midship_ncoh lordy, which Trump rally did you attend? Keep trumpeting that Trump stick you love to blow, goofy.
Another job well done Can’t say it enough. This is why I enjoy watching your videos so much you do such a good job at fixing up the stuff that you were working on
This is pretty much the dictionary definition of a masochist. Excellent work, even if I had the skill and the tools, I would definitely not have the patience to take on a project like this.
.
Briggs made good engines back then, Tecumseh did too. My 41 year old mower with 4HP Tecumseh still works fine. Cheers from sunny Australia
The Briggs of around that age are honestly the best engines to work on in my opinion, fairly simple and reliable
Cast iron bore ones are, alloy bore motors are throwaways.

I got a 1938 1/2 HP BRIGGS AND STRÀTTION.
The lighting used on this video is excellent; professional.
Beautiful work sir! I love that powder coat! For me growing up, these engines were the de-facto standard for lawnmowers.
This has given me alot of helpful tips as me and my dad are restoring a classic volvo 340 and we need all the help we can get get so thanks daggerwin for uploading on this chanell👍🏻
The German Piggy it’s machinery restorer
@@fordf150xltlariat9 I think this is one of he other accounts
Firenado no shit Sherlock why do you think I corrected him
Dans diecast car Reviews no he has other channel he does farming simulator and his other name is dagger win so either is fine
And don’t no shit me
A old school Briggs & Stratton Flathead is hard to beat 🏁🏁🏁👍 Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina USA 🇺🇸
Makes me want to go find something to rebuild! Nice work!
I took that engine apart in 1987 before I went to college because it burned too much oil. I always promised myself I'd re-assemble it with new piston rings someday... Thanks for keeping my promise.
I get laughed at in my hometown for restoring small motors to many people obsessed with the disposable life
Ikr🙁
A time will come when those that laugh at you will wish they had your skills/knowledge/mindset
I sincerely hope that whole mentality is starting to change now, with restoration videos becoming so "trendy." There is definitely a huge feeling of accomplishment you get from restoring something old and neglected and bringing it back to life.
Thanks I will pray for u and cindy.ku playing at 6 I think love your family very much
same with me. ive got a 75 cc industrial weed eater. its as old as i am and after my rebuild it runs better than i do lol
I remember my dad doing this back in the middle 70s I was the only kid on our block that didn't have to worry about not being able to cut the grass Thanks Dad years later I was rebuilding Briggs & Stratton three and a half horse and Tecumseh Engines still enjoying it
It's so rewarding seeing some one restore something, I just love to watch videos like this. Great video thanks 😊
This brings back good memories when I was a kid. From mowing lawns around the neighbourhood for arcade money to making go carts with some friends. Good to see theres still some mowers around today that got taken care of. p.s- i think your warranty's up! :D
I'm so impressed by your skills. And it brings back my childhood to see that old mower running.
this Gentleman is living proof that they're still people out there that when they set their minds on doing something they still do it right !!! another awesome restore !!! 👍
The way you work eases my OCD on engines. You do things the correct way and aren’t lazy while doing it. Love the videos. Please keep more coming.
Just got home, went to KZhead, and this video dropped in my feed, perfect, just enough time for me to chill and and watch this from start to end
These little engines are the sound of summer. Early evening, one of these humming in the distance and the smell of cut grass.
I used to work in a little engine rebuild shop waaay back....(late 70s)....rebuilt those Brigs n Stratton by the dozens.
The transition from when the powder coat goes from looking super dry to loking super wet is always so satisfying to me. So please don't cut that out
I know what you mean. The transition from that flat white color at the time of application. To the gloss white color,after the powder coat melts onto the parts from the heat is actually pretty satisfying.
? It's inside the oven. The transition is the same as baking a cake. Unless he has an ovenproof camera, it's not going to happen.
There's nothing better than listening to a old engine! How do you do it man? It's incredible.
6:45 - That's quality paint that it self leveled and didn't roll over into a run on those first couple passes across the bottom. Luckyyyy.
Briggs and Stratton love's this man .... whatever part he needs the company says "make em' whatever part he needs" no questions asked lol
Just clicked on this video from the main page when it randomly popped up but I took apart a 100% identical engine in high school in a Small Gas Engines class. Literally all the parts and assembly are coming back to me watching this. Well done though!
This is awesome to watch, ive worked on a few small engines but never restored one. I love watching him work because it all looks so easy.
Great job! I restored a 1974 Murray 22 inch mower with that same engine. I had a blast doing it. It’s not worth anything but seeing the before and after was amazing. Someone was throwing it out and it just so happened to be the same model mower I pushed around the Neighborhood as a kid looking for lawns to mow. Satisfying on a couple different levels.
I enjoy watching these vids. My first restoration was a Briggs 5s, followed by a WM. I mostly play with oilfield engines these days, but the trip down memory lane has been nice!
I love bringing engines and equipment back from the dead. People are so wasteful sometimes and if I can take their "junk" and repair it with a good cleaning and a few bucks in parts its 100's maybe 1000's of dollars it saves me. Nice work I admire your attention to detail.
Oh.my.word. Brilliant work. I LOVE the detail, I love the patience, I lover the clear camera angles, I love the descriptions. I learned SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!!!
Really a very fine and measured step by step restoration. When I was a little kid (about a million years ago) we could pick these up free from the local nursery/landscape/yard maintenance outfit and refurbish them and mount them on our fat tire bicycles for motorization. They were about half the size of this one and easy to fix....hell on wheels! Best wishes and stay healthy.
A pleasure to watch! The sound of that Briggs & Stratton brings back many childhood memories. Thanks
I love watching craftsmen at work. Thanks for the video.
This is gratifying to watch, but it must be 100x more gratifying to actually accomplish. Kudos from the U.S.A!
I have a mower with the same engine, and man... this thing is a beast!! This engine worked around 10 years continuously and only requires a little maintenance, never changed piston and nothing. This engines are the best thing i ever had.
For some reason "AND THEN CUT GRASS WITH IT!" Just really got me in the funny bone.
I enjoy watching restoration videos of small engines. You made this a joy to watch. Very artistic with your form. Very patient and thorough. Thank you for sharing! 😀👍🏼
Absolutely excellent video, you clearly know your parts and way around an engine. Thanks for sharing.
My first job was on a maintenance crew that used to mow lawns in a Village that used to maintain power stations. And the lawnmowers we used were 4 hp and 5 hp Bridges & Stratton lawnmowers, very similar to the lawnmowers you are restoring now I have owned many lawnmowers over the years but they were always my favourite
Thanks for another great video Daggerwin, they are a big help while we are still in lockdown here in Wales 🏴. Thank you
Yes i enjoyed watching you rebuild that old 41yr.old engine. I learned a few tricks to do in my lawnmower repair shop. Thanku
Your videos are absolutely satisfying to watch.
Briggs and Stratton engines, rebuilt engine comes to life after two pulls. Solid small engines. I would say that B&S small engines are the gold standard of small engines.
Briggs & Stratton ghost!!!! Very nice!!! Amazing work!!!! Like a lot. Congratulations!!!!💪💪💪👉
I love watching you master your craft. I just got into this hobby...my girlfriend thinks I'm nuts. You've taught this old boy a few tricks, keep up the great content!!!
Great renovation. My father had a mower like this. We used it for years. Great to see one fully restored. Videos are great! Better then watching TV. All the best! Skip
Lol. I always tried to fix small motors like this but had no idea what I was doing. Thanks for the video. It helped me to understand what needs to be done. And some common problems. Great work!
I didn't realise you ad the FS channel until now, I love the contrast between them. I don't think any other channel has so much bird song as the soundtrack. Great restoration again.
That was a great job restoring that old motor. I wish I had his skills. Nice to keep and old dog running.
I'd love this guy's skills. People laugh at me for working on my own car and I find things hard as I have sadly have autism. The pride thing is I try I don't need to pretend to be somebody I'm not and have to drive a flash car for an image. This is why i admire skills like this it's keeping something beautiful going
man.....please do not let people with zero ambition influence you. Learn a trade skill, save a ton of money fixing your own car, and laugh in their face the next time they get smacked by a repair shop for a 500 dollar brake job you can do yourself for about 100 bucks.
@@midship_nc thanks yes I did my brakes and got squeeks and found the problem to tight in the shims many hours later. Yes was hard but did it
@@sandydogy yep and if you get comfortable with stuff and get some practical tools and a trailer to tow them in, then you could fire up a mobile mechanic business and make good money. Most mobile mechanic type work is brakes, suspension, oil changes, tune ups, wheels bearings etc. People wont ask you to replace engines as a mobile mechanic. So actually you are not that far off from having a marketable skill, keep after it.
Happiness is the sound of the "click" on a torque wrench! Throughly executed work.
I really like all these restoration work you’re doing! Keep up the good work!
This man knows what he's doing. Awesome rebuild.
Boy does this bring back some awful memories. My dad had an old Snapper mower back in the 80's and he used to make me mow the grass every Saturday. That mower had the exact same Briggs and Stratton 3.5 horsepower engine. The thing was so old and hard to start that I was drenched in sweat by the time I started mowing. I used that thing from the time I was 9 years old until I went off to college. He finally broke down and hired a lawn service after I left. God forbid he actually had to use that mower himself.
Awesome job! What’s great about Briggs & Stratton engines is the are so cheap and easy to fix.
And reliable I like Kohler Briggs Onan tecumseh Honda Kawasaki basically every brand
I love the old Briggs and Stratton really good engine when I was a kid I put one on a go kart great memories and you done a great job 👍😃
I have a Briggs & Stratton and I want to use it in a go-kart
20:00 I like his attitude: "Not too dirty. I'll Clean it anyway." Reminds me of myself!
Great work. Nothing more therapeutic than engines..
Thanks for posting this. Beautiful job. I have an old Rover Rapid (Australia) lawn mower that has a very similar Briggs and Stratton engine. We inherited the mower at our new rural property in Tasmania. It has never run right, always surging up and down. I recently pulled the carbi apart and cleaned it all. Found the pump spring on the fuel tank side instead of the carbi side. Also for some reason, my motor has a cylindrical air filter and housing instead of the flat horizontal sponge filter I have seen on them. Seems to run better now, but not 100% yet.
Sandblasting is soooo ASMR 😎 What a great restoration! 👍👍🇳🇱🤝
Excellent video-I have the almost the same motor on an old John Deere push mower from 1973. You've inspired me to do a full rebuild and paint too. Thank you
I love those old Briggs engines!! I remember them as a kid!! Still good engines!!
Dang son this guys a perfectionist
I LOVE these old mowers... just a simple engine with a blade for doing a simple job. Could you do a restore on a modern engine (smog/safety switches/electronic...) just so we can see how much is involved. I took a 2006 mower in to be repaired and was told that it was non repairable?!?!? No reason why... the stuff that is being made these days is just junk... Thank you for all the hard work you do and for showing us that these machines can be repaired.
Man I love these rebuild shows,real manly,thanks.
On this side of the pond, I began working on those engines when they had the "banger" (aka hot dog) muffler. Still get that great feeling when you've completed the work and it roars back to life. Great job. My mother did not like going to use the "hob" and finding I had baked freshly painted parts in it. Narragansett Bay
Our shop has two of those hot water high pressure parts washers man I love the way they clean. Great job on the motor!
Sounds like and looks like it's running good to me... Great job.
I truly enjoy watching these videos.
Now that's what I call a very thorough job well done sir
Did you ever figure out where the extra bolt went? Just kidding. You are professional in every sense of the word. Your videos are first rate. Very grateful you share them.
Fantastic restoration - a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing
I love love love it when you powder coated the parts and this color is soooo refreshing!!!!
Dude, a great video, I especially liked the attention to even the smallest of details and the powder coating as well. Too pretty to get dirty !!! Lapping the valves was awesome, getting a flush tight fit. I'll bet with that electronic ignition module she runs great. Thanks for making feel I'm not all alone out here !!!
That looked like a lot of fun. Good to put something previously junk back to use. Nice work.
Thankyou for reviving yet another one!!
The paint looks amazing! 👌awesome job, Your vids are always awesome.
Good job! It looks like you followed the rebuild process exactly as stated in the old red and white Briggs manual.
What a brilliant makeover. Great explanation of the work carried out.
G'day greetings from Tasmania Australia that was a great job terrific restoration and it was great to watch. Regards John
You've done it again. Amazing job. I give extra credit for rebuilding Briggs and Stratton even though you live in Europe where parts are harder to get.
i had a carb come from america and it toke 3 days and i am in the uk it was a lot faster than i expected
I am in Ireland and currently waiting on piston rings for a 500 series. They are gonna take 3 weeks😫😫
Diarmuid I’m in us and it takes me a couple weeks too but I usually go to my local dealer to get parts if it’s a specialty Part or a rare part I go online to pro parts direct.net or stens the parts company
I've done plenty of the points conversions. Just did one on my push mower from 1965 yesterday and runs pretty good
terrific rebuild super close up camera work a joy to watch with great title inserts
The old stuff was built to last. All it needs is a little love and care, and it will serve for years and years.
Very nice. I have a 1970's? rototiller with an old 3.5 Briggs on it. I plan on doing similar. The tiller is so old, I am unsure of the brand. Appears to be green in color, maybe an old Wards machine, but, it serves its' purpose well, and is a beast. Starting to smell oil burning as I use it, so it is time to rebuild before things become terminal. Winter 2022 project to refurb the entire tiller. Again, well done!
Yet another great job done another Briggs brought back to life ready to serve another 10 to 15 years hard labour. keep up the great work mate hope to see more from you soon . S C UK.
