Hey All,
I'm finally back with a full length resurrection video! I bought this engine in 2023 and literally saved if from going to the scrap yard. Was it a good save, will I be able to get it to run again? Watch the video to find out!!!!
THIS VIDEO IS NOT NARRATED AND IS DIFFERENT FROM MY REGULAR CONTENT, THANKS
Nice save! Glad you were able to rescue this one and make it run again. I love the old iron and it would break my heart to scrap an engine capable of running again.
You and me both!
Scrap????? how is it possible
Thank you for making this old engine run again, a most enjoyable video. It makes a change to see somone repairing stuff rather than just throwing it away.
Even in unrestored condition you have to pAY a lot of dollars
Very nice! I love listening to those engines run. Its a comforting sound to me. On the farm when I was a boy, I could here one on the pump jack running 24/7. It produced all the natural gas to power the irrigation motors and lots more. So long as it was cared for, it ran and was very rarely shut off. We kept parts on hand for repairs and it was never down for long. It ran on the natural gas so it didnt carbon up. It was perfect for that application.
These old motors were definitely built a lot more robust than what we have today!
I love old technology, we wouldnt be where we are today without it, watching you save and get these old timers running again is so satisfying. I am looking forward to the magneto video, and the progress on this old girl, all the best big fella from the UK.
Thank you! I hope to be a little more consistent this year with my posting!
Nice clean up and restoration. Thank you for bringing this great machine back to life.
I love watching videos like this. No useless talking or music in the background. It's very distracting n gets on my nerves. The sound of your tools is music enough. Nice job.
Thank you. However, my normal content I do talk some in. This video is doing well, however, so I may throw a silent film in from time to time!
@Cast_Iron_Curiosities I don't mind a bit of talking, but some videos have too much talking. I just want to watch what the video is about. Thanks, mate.
That truck looks better with each video. You are an inspiration to us all !!!!!!
awsome work sir.i have worked on these in the past years. you realy lucked out the way the nuts and screws came off. thank you for saving the engine
Excellent job in getting the engine running again! Now... you have to disassemble it completely, clean and polish everything, sandblast, steam clean, paint all the outside, measure everything with the right tolerances, and reassemble, and will look and work like a brand-new engine! keep up the good work! Don't forget to do the same thing for the 4-wheeled cart!
Why?
Why ?
👍
That would be a sin.
Because all he has done so far is revive the engine, not restore it.
I’ll say when I work in my own shop on my antique engines and equipment it sounds very much like this video does, and most times it’s relaxing to just wrench on something and not explain every detail. Really in my honest opinion if their watching for education and they have a question or concern they WILL ask you. People that just watching for entertainment aren’t here to learn anything. You do good work sir, and I enjoy it
I am speechless, what a bring back. Well done hope your proud of her.
Thank you!
I watched this twice . I love to see these great pieces of History saved. As always I liked and shared. Glad to see you back Sir. All my very best.
Thank you!
Each hit or miss engine has it's own rhythm, I like to listen to the patterns.
My kids called them hiccup motors they said it sound like they had hiccups.
Wonderful to watch thank you for sharing.
Very impressive. So glad for my grandchildren, to know that there are still people around that can fix stuff. Thank you for sharing your adventure..
That's a lovely old engine and just how I like to find them. I've had to cut engines out of trees before now and managed to save them without breaking a single part.
Great to see a nice, well built engine being saved from scrap! Thanks, great work!
Was not expecting to see somewhat modern-looking two-piece insert journal bearings. Very cool. You can certainly tell it was designed and manufactured in an era when diy maintenance was the norm. A dream to work on even after a century!
Got to say I prefer narrated vids. I like hand tool rescue, but I prefer the voice with it.
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided not to narrate without it. I have that back now, and future videos will be narrated. Thank you for your input!
I prefer the non-narated vids myself.
Hand tool rescue is even learning that people like to hear the narrative and is starting to speak more in his videos. Ok video but nope sorry.
What a beautiful sound! Music to the ears! That you were able to find an engine that intact was a feat in itself! Not how they are usually found. Ready for the fine adjustments and as close to period painting as possible.
Mate, some of your tools are positively ancient. That lathe is best of all it's so beautiful, and the drill press is second only to the lathe and that old pressure thingy works so well without the aid of pneumatics. It's lovely to see a guy who respects old machines in use and fixing, but can also combine modern tools as well. A great restoration video using some tools themselves restored. It was very pleasant watching you restore this old engine back to use, using some tools not far removed from the engine itself. A really great restoration video using some wonderful old tools. Cute doggy to.
Thank you!
Brilliant workmanship and a good save of the old machine 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Wow the Old Girl Runs Again!
Just found your channel - some awesome content subscribed straight away - have to work my way through your videos now 😃cheers from Tasmania and keep em coming 👍🇦🇺
Good for you. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome work. Thanks for saving instead of trashing.
Very cool video! I love going to thresher shows just to see the old engines running. Glad you save this one!
Glad to see someone keeping this stuff alive. Good work!
We used a 3 hp version on a truck frame with steel decks to cut firewood for 20 yrs or so. Belt driven; that is where I learned to make / repair drive belts.
Great video i can learn a lot off this type off video's. Thank you so muts. Greetings Martin from the Netherlands
fantastic , thank you for restoring this old pice of mechanic. M.S. from germany 😊
Glad to see there are still people that rebuild the old engines. I have one that is similar in size maybe a little smaller but haven't begun to do anything with it yet. Given their size the horsepower ratings always seemed low. My grandfather had one with five foot flywheels. I don't ever remember it running. Keep up the good work.
enjoyed the video.glad you respect the design , engineering and fabrication that went into the making and restoring of a piece of history.amazing shop and talent you got
Nice save. A couple of years ago they had a couple of fully restored hit-and-miss farm engines running at a Labor Day weekend festival at the old Seale, Alabama courthouse.
I used to take mine to shows. One fella told me to put coffee grounds into cheese cloth, 1/2 a cup, in the water tank and it'll drive people nuts wanting to know where the coffee pot was. The best part was after the show I drained the tank and it was clean as you could want. Good video, I'll be watching.
I grew up in an oil field town, listening to these engines at night. Later I worked on engines just like this, only the flywheel was about six feet in diameter. They ran on well head gas from a copper tube from the well head, and were started with your foot and arms. Take the spark plug out and squirt a little gasoline in and they would start up easily. The only reason they were shut off was to work on the well.
Great restoration on this old engine. You did a masterful job.
one of your most enjoyable videos, not that I don't like the soind of your voice but you have such expressive hand gestures conveying thoughts and its great to concentrate on a capable pair of hands doing what they do best. Well done.
Thank you!
Bonsoir Une belle restauration 👍 C’est toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos.
Greetings from Australia. What a beautiful piece of kit. You did a great job mate. Goodvwork
Thank you!
Angry Farmer is my go to for tough jobs. Absolutely love that stuff. 👍🏻
Definitely is!
I appreciate the random dynamite on the parts washer. Fantastic rebuild as well, came out great.
Excellent video, so satisfying to see you bring that beauty back to life. You have to listen to what it's telling you to get it to run right. Thanks for posting. Made a subscriber out of me 👍
I'm sure glad you are saving the old iron. Good job young man.
Thank you!
Top Vice one could only imagine how much hard graft thats seen...Absolutely this engineering history needs saving..
Excellent! No f-face and no music to disturb ... this is how to do it!
Thank you. Not all my videos are like this one, but I try to keep the unnecessary talking to a minimum.
This would be a great application for one of those laser cleaners.
Definitely!
Well done. Old engines like this were almost hand built and the knowledge to rebuild them is important. Better still, put them to use again.
I enjoyed this video! I valve seen several engines like this at fairs in South Dakota back about 50 - 60 years ago. The last one I saw running was at my amateur university back in late 70's - early 80's. You saved a piece of Amreicana from a long ago!
That is amazing how you restored that 100-yeat-old gas engine running at all, even though you had some trouble getting it to run at first.
Thank you!
Done this so many times great memoties.
I love these hit and miss engines. Just a little adjustment of the regulator and shell run fine. They run better under load
This was absolutely worth of saving! Nice job 👍
Nice job Thanks for sharing nice job.
Great to watch. Top class!
Great work!!!
Thank you!
Brilliant!
I can't believe you got that to run! I would love to see this engine with the rust completely removed and an era appropriate paint job applied.
nice to see a survivor run and thanks for fixing it.
Outstanding job. Really enjoyed watching. You do great work. I'm a fan. 👍
Excellent ... good to see you didn't 'bling' it up with new paint.
Excellent work thanks for saving
Good work, great that it runs once again.
Thank you!
Well done fella a nice job well done!. Auld Tam in Ayr.. a nice clear viseo too...
put a peice wood or rag in the cylinder head keeps the valves from pushing in when you push the spring down to remove keeper. Love these old motor projects. So neat to hear them run.
I used to start a smaller one of those for a neighbor when I was on my way to school. It filled a stock tank with a pumpjack. That was when I walked the mile plus to school. I filled the water reservoir, put in as much gas as I guessed it would need and went on my way across his section.
Great job. It sure was running clean. I had a Fairbanks that had the carb to start on gas and then switch over to kerosene.
Yes I do like to hear you narrate your videos! It makes them a lot better! Keep up the great work!
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided to not narrate without it. I have that back now and future videos will be narrated. Thank you for your input!
Love the old classics.
Absolutely!
Fine looking shop-dog supervising the job🐕
Great Job!!! If I were a betting man, I would have bet against you making that thing run. I'm thrilled you did it. My only suggestion is to get rid of the adjustable wrenches! I have rounded of more nuts and bolts with those things. LOL Wish I could have been there to help you rebuild it.
Great job, I like the way it looks now, like a well used surviver, that runs like new again. The painted-up "dandies" look good too. However your engine has a dignity that only comes with time and hard work...I say, keep as it is.
Well done, great to see
Good to see another video, nice save.
Thank you!
O_O!!!! Look at it go!! Amazing to think what it meant to the people of its time~
Nice work indeed, amazing retore hello from down under.
Re-bored one of these that we used for water pumping many years; Cracked water jacket needed welding and used a CAT cylinder sleeve to do so. That Press needs sandblasting and re-painting. lol Journal sanding-- a slotted spool with a loop of sanding tape with a drill set on low will do a fast and slick job; just do NOT put a lot of pressure !!
That's a great idea!
formidable!!
You sir, have some impressive skills!
Good job on saving that old engine.
awesome watching this rebuild
Thank you!
Mate,bin waiting forever for more content ,at last yay luv your work
Thank you! I hope to be a little more consistent this year!
Awesome Work You've Earned Yourself A New Subscriber From Aberystwyth , Wales Bless Up ❤
Awesome restoration!
Love seeing these old workhorses brought back to life, nice job. Do you know who or where it was built or what it was used for? Thumbs up for any video that includes a dog...in fact it should be in YTs terms and conditions that every video includes a dog.😊
Great job
Thank you!
Excellent interesting
Hi, Just found your channel. I have never seen someone do a full tear down of a Hit & Miss Engine. 👍🤠
At 35:00 the boss inspect your project. The comment is "Good job!" Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland
Thank you!
I have a 1917 three horse throttle governed Fairbanks that I run at shows and club meets and it never has ran completely smooth. It will run twenty or thirty minutes then will drop a few RPM and after a couple of minutes pick it up again . Never have been able to figure it out . Thanks for the video and will be looking forward to future ones 😉 !
Thank you!
Fryed again ?
Entered the KZhead rabbit hole and landed up on your channel. Loved your content especially the fact that there's no music. A new subscriber from Nagaland, India.
Welcome aboard!
I really like that you didn't paint it all up with pinstripes etc.
Thank you!
So, just a frame and transmission to sort out and I'll see you at Sturgis! Well done.
From a Bygone era. But great to see the old girl running again. Mike in Oz
Really good strip and repair , 25.20 its hard to believe that a small mouse lived in there . For your birthday try and get a copper hammer and a fixed wire buff .I believe that this rusty machine will turn into something to behold when your finished .
Nice. My uncle used to run a Lister and Wolsley engines at fairs.
I like history, specially when "the history" is working. Best wh. from Sweden.
Great job, well done
I like to tub old iron in a mixture of diesel and a little gasoline to softened all the old grease. I use a large poly tub with a snap on cover. I also like to brush the iron to make it like new. Just a personal preference. Nice job and i am sure that old iron feels like a young one again.
Congratulations, good work.
