A Simar 2 wheel tractor. I will have good use for this 1940's machine that was a dream for small farmers back in the days. Capable machine even tho it is very small. In small gardens it is very handy for all crop work.
Hope you enjoy the project!
Thanks. /Richard.
Being a Dad is such a wonderful experience. Good for you..
Thanks for the interesting video. I noticed the piston is shaped differently on each side, and you reinstalled it 180 degrees from what it was. Might run better if the inlet gases are pushed up toward the head by the sharp "scoop" side of the piston. Seemed to run fairly well the way you installed it though. Thanks again for the great videos!
Right? Totally screwed it up.
Thank you. That new machine looks good. The kids will learn from watching their Dad. Take care. 👈👍😎
Regards from Kopparberg Sweden!
Nice to hear from Sweden! /Richard
Interesting piston and ring design to ensure the ring gaps never line up.
Yes, first time i have seen this design. A small piece of brass just inserted and bent on the inside of the piston. Quite clever.
To keep them from falling in to the ports. 2 stroke
@@daleolson3506 Exactly, can't have the ring gaps line up with the ports.
Most 2 strokes have this.
Ahh...OK. Never made any opportunities to work on any 2-strokes. Didn't know that, Thank you.
I like what you do. It's all up my street. Been a fitter all my life on machinery. Small to massive. Now boats are my hobby. But i still love engineering.
You are great mechanic!
Richard, it is such a pleasure watching you breath new life into these old machines, and you actually put them to work. Great stuff!
Thanks, this one will work quite hard now in the crop field! /Richard
Watching how well you get the machines to perform, it makes one wonder why they were left to rust at all. Great video!
Another oldie but goodie. Just don't forget your steel toed boots when using the "rotary tiller". Thanks for the vid!
I like seeing old things brought back to life.
Hello from Tucson Arizona. Wonderful video. I am working on a 1930 Model A Ford and really appreciate what you are doing.
Hi! Nice to hear from you. Got an Model A myself, i think it was a 1930. Modified to a tractor back in 1951. Sold it last year. They are really good cars for their time. Durable i would say. Thanks /Richard
29:27 "Send 'em out. Play with sticks". Luxury. In my day it was a lump of coal. If it was my birthday, a lump of coal and a beating.
Reminds me of a Monthy Phyton sketch 😅 But its not that bad thank god.../Richard
Very cool...older the better
True. /Richard
And a Simar, and a beautiful car, my old man had one, and he did anything about it, you never give up these machines. Greetings from Ticino, Switzerland.
Now that's a tiller, I could have used that last week. You are right about keeping the kids busy and outside away from the internet and social media.
Yes i hope to fix the crop field this week. /Richard
What a long stroke, for a two-stroke engine!
Yes, i think the longest iv'e seen! Kind of extrem.
Gday Richard, absolutely brilliant, I throughly enjoy these types of videos, seeing his being saved and restored, being able to involve your children is something I try and do quite often here as well but not on camera, I’d rather put all my attention to the boys instead of worrying if I got the shot correct, do you have a channel sticker?, great video mate, I’ve been following for a good while now and enjoyed every video, thank you, cheers
Hi! Thank you Matty. I follow you as well! Yes, when filming i am alone most of the time, or always when doing something heavy or dangerous. But i enjoy having them around on projects like this. But it is a big differens if im filming or if we work on a project offside KZhead. Now i have to pause the camera and show them why and what we do on the engine and what is broke and how to tighten bolts. They enjoy it either way, but it is always better off camera when all attention can be on the kids 😊 Channel sticker? Don't know.. Got some reserch to do i guess 😁 Best regards/ Richard
buen arreglo richard saludos desde españa
First time I watched your channel. Tryelly enjoyed it .
Thank you 😊😊/Richard
We had a two cylinder iron wheel monster predate to any rototiller, Dad parked it against and old diseased apple tree started it up and pushed the tree over with it I enjoyed your effort
The belt as the pull start. What a smart idea 💡
Yes, works but i like a rope better. But this is original 😊 /Richard
Great old 2 stroke rotortiler Richard, the engine sounds so crisp, thank for sharing
Rich, I'm an 80 year old 'gear head'. Still change the oil and grease the front end on my vehicle. Thank you so much for these videos. I really enjoy them. AND, your sound effects really put a smile on my old face. thank you. Bruce Ray. from the USA.
Beautiful old tractor.
That's a fine tool you've rescued there great video 👍🇬🇧
Great video!! With warm spring-greetings from Bohuslän.
Tack! Kul att höra från Bohuslän 🙂
Wow spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video 👍
Thats great memories for the kids and yourself, great vid as always :)
new subscriber here, nice to see a fellow swede working on these types of machines!
Welcome! So you are a Swede as well? /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery Yes!
Awesome guy! That is one nice machine. Keep it up, you have a great channel. Thanks
Thanks mate. Means a lot! /Richard
Grand old machine made with quality and pride. Nice job.
You amaze me with your mechanical skills. Couldn't believe that started with one pull on the starting strap.
It actually starts on first everytime. Runs like a dream. The mains have a bad noice tho... /Richard
I answered my question when I saw the plate on your truck, Sweden is a country I hope to visit some day !
Love seeing these old dogs brought back to life. I was a young apprentice for VW in the early 70's and seeing the oil-bath air filter brought many memories back. Similarly the points and so on which were like some of the older VW's I worked on when I had my own garage. Great stuff and I look forward to more of these 'restorations'. Cheers from Canada North where we're almost out of snow now.....well....ALMOST
Nice with good memories! When i woke up today there was new snow again.. Now i just want spring 😁
Adjusted for spending power fuel is by far the most expensive in eastern Europe, e.g. Bulgaria and Romania. Sweden has the fifth-lowest average fuel price in Europe. It's only cheaper in Denmark, Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg (figures are from 2019 but I don't think the proportions have changed massively, only the absolute figures).
That's hard no! I see a shop and it's filled with many thousands worth of tools and equipment.
Looks like it does the job as well as a new one. My hat is off to you for salvaging these interesting machines from a time gone by (keeping in mind that I'm about the same age as that tiller).
Hi! Have to ask because we share the same name, Richard Andersson. Do you have relatives from Sweden? Often Andersson became Anderson when they moved to US. Same thing with Johansson. Became Johnson etc. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery The answer is yes and no. My family name definitely came from Sweden, but we haven't been able to trace it back to find a living connection. Too many generations and too many missing records. While most immigrants from Scandinavia were reasonably educated, mine weren't, leading to a shortage of written documents to draw on. The fact that my grandfather ran away from home at age 12 (circa 1902), and had no further contact with his family just makes it that much harder. Since no two marriages in my ancestors seem to come from the same ethnic stock, at this point I'm just a plain old American mutt with mixed Western European heritage.
Like other videos, very interesting. And I see you have a cute little helper too. That will be absolutely great. Thanks a lot for the video.
Ytterligare en grym video Richard! Tack! 🙏
Tack själv 😊😊
I have always wanted a big shed with all kinds of old machines. How idyllic to live like this. This man will never have high blood pressure.
What a great job you do with those things that are old and give them life.
Always find your videos interesting Thank you.
Thanks! /Richard
I have a rototiller brand garden tractor very similar to your simar built in the 30's.I believe that it was inspired by the simar, even uses the same type flat belt to start it.The tines on it are spring mounted pick type which do a fantastic job, much better than the solid blade type used on most modern garden tractors today. I believe your simar had similar tines.I believe that if you can find the original tine setup you will find they will work much better than what is on there now. Great job on getting your simar running.
Cool machine. I have a Gravely two wheeled tractor but it is from the 1970s. A little newer.
Deflector on the piston goes on the transfer port side. To loop the new charge up while exhaust has the long ramped side. Same way it came out. You're throwing away a few inch/pounds at least from the bottom end, and you didn't get many to start with..
Great video , great old machine , I want one 👍🏻
Thanks mate! / Richard
Hey Richard, you may have missed this comment...might be handy? Wendy & Richards tinkering workshop 7 days ago I have the side panels and all instructions books and implement book . I used to restore and show them. Don’t have them now tho just the odd spare parts
Thanks, Will check where they are located :) / Richard
Now I see where Troy-Bilt borrowed their line of tiller models.
If you want your children to be more involved let them paint the machines. My Dad had us kids paint his car ?& i have had my children paint my projects sunce they were very young. They loved it
If i wanted to have painted machines yes. But i only collect original stand machines, like most of the rest here in sweden. To repaint old machines and engines here only lower the value. But we have a ton of other things that needs paint and attention that we work on together 😊 /Richard
The length of the stroke and the massiveness of the flywheel are impressive! So cool you got it running!
Yes the stroke is impressive 😊😊 /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery 😂😂
Great video!!!!!! It is nice to see someone who knows what they are doing.!!!!
Put an small homemade trailer after the maschine and normal tyres on ist. Than you have a nice working maschine for garden and farm . Your children will be love drive in the woods on sundays . I use an Holder Ed2 or an Hako system trac with a small trailer from the 50er in garden 😎😉
Yes, I have original drawings from Simar "How to build a small trailer" for it :) / Richard
I have similar size Rototiller These older ones are really reliable and good for the garden mine is a Fraser I got for free
Well done Richard! And it's nice to see the kids helping. That machine is similar to the Frazer Rototiller here in the states that dates from about the same time period. I've owned a few- same type of design and the tiller tines were spring mounted as you said. Interesting.
Thanks a lot! Yes i think spring loaded arms would be better. I'm have to find me one of those. /Richard
Love it!
It´s very enjoyable to see your videos !
Thanks mate! /Richard
Curved tines later in the life of the machine will smooth out the forward digging, thanx for the video.🙂
Great job! I love seeing you bring these things back to life.
A beast ! Fix the tines !
Hi! Sorry for my bad english, but what is the "tines"? /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery the diggers .a couple broke off it looked like .
Hi Richard, hope you and your family are well and ok. What another great video, Thank you so much for sharing. I don't know how much your petrol (Gas) costs where you are but here in the U.K its gone through the roof. Hope all this sadness and fighting ends really soon. Keep up your great work my dear friend and take good care.
Thanks mate. Yes, i hope so to. We are all good here thanks. I hope the same for you. /Richard
Very interesting video of a powerhouse little tractor. Really chews up the soil. Hope you're having a good Spring.
Thanks wish you a great spring as well! /Richard
I really like your little blue English Ford car. In 1967 I bought one in California USA and drove it back and forth to high school until 1969 when I sold it and went into the US Navy.
Hi! That is a Opel 1957. I really like it. Good car! /Richard
Great job again!
Thank you! /Richard
Great video 👏 👏 👏 Great channel 👏 👍 👏 👋👋👋👋👋
Thank you mate! Where are you from? /Richard
Really enjoyed looking at this machine, it look as though it was designed to work without destroying the need for human intervention.
Good show!
Thanks! /
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Very well done again and as always (video and work). I like these versatile 1 axle tractors. All you need now is a little trailer with a bench seat. And two new tires for the machine. The kids would love to be driven around in such a vehicle. There had even been PTO driven trailers in the days when a lot of these machines had been used from farmers with no budget for a big tractor. Or from farmers in the Alps (with steep grassland). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Thank you. Yes a pto- driven trailer is not a bad idea. Like a small 4x4 tractor. /Richard
Dear @@YesterdaysMachinery Richard. You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart for/to my comment. I totally appreciate both very much. Here are some 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 for you and your family. 2) Yes, a kind of a 4wheel driven vehicle. With a very small turning circle/radius. Hope you will find or build a trailer for it. Sincerely yours. Christian
First time seeing your channel but very informative I thought when you first pull that out it was a David Bradley so it’s cool to see that there’s other machines like this that we used in the states
Yes, these small one axle tractors seems to have been popular all around the world back then. /Richard
Many similarities to the Graham Paige Rototiller I had years ago.
Nicely done. Looks like a valuable machine!!
Good job
Thanks! Richard
It really does a good job tilling. Cool old machine. Thanks for showing us
Hey buddy, love your channel & really appreciate the way you explain & do things, very practical & informative. I have to live & work in the modern world but love yesterday's. Good work & thanks
Настоящий мастер-энтузиаст старинной техники!
Great videos Richard! My name is Diediker. My family immigrated from Switzerland in the 1800's. Ever hear of a town in Switzerland called Diediker?
Hi! Don't know if you mix up Sweden where i live, with Switzerland. I done really know anything about Switzerland. Wish you all well. /Richard
No Richard I didn't mix up the two. I just thought in your search for parts and Machinery you might have traveled through Switzerland. In any case, I enjoy your videos. I'm a retired Aircraft electrician and have started blacksmithing about 6 yrs ago. So I enjoy old things. @@YesterdaysMachinery
I want a front end loader bucket full of old machines to play with too! Neat design. Beautiful machine. Also sticks and carboard boxes, best childhood toys ever!
Love your work. Keep going as long as it's fun for you. Thank you for your entertainment.
Thanks mate! /Richard
Just found your channel, love it, I always love to see the old come alive again.
Thanks! Yes i love to find oldies and fix them up to running order again 🙂 /Richard
Nice job!! It runs good.
I watched my dad make carburetor gaskets years ago out of cereal boxes with the ball peen hammer method. I have used it many times since then to make gaskets.
Great video Sir, thanks for sharing on Internet your hobby with old/ancient machinery, quite educational as you diagnose/repair it. Stay safe. Watching from Maine :)
Thank you. 🇬🇧
😊 /Richard
You have been missed!
Thank you 😊😊 /Richard
That looks a little bit scary and a handful to use 😧 great repair well done
What a cool little tractor, it's neat to see these old beasts brought back to running condition 👍
Heating the piston in a oven and then quenching it in a oil bath usually gives a good result in freeing up the rings. At the same time, heat distortion of the piston is kept to a minimum.... Interesting video😀
Coming from a Howard gem owner if you drop the steering bars down it will work well, but good luck thanks for sharing
Thanks! Yes i have to study this a bit more to get me and the machine to work good together. /Richard
Just found your channel...you're living the dream, man! Soon enough...
Hi! Thank you /Richard
Well done!
Thank you! /Richard
Thoroughly enjoy your content . Please keep it up 👍🏻
Thank's! Doing the best i can with the little time i got 😁 /Richard
Another great project. Thanks for making these videos.
Thanks mate 🙂 /Richard
New subscriber, I love old machinery and that was a good find and you fixed it so it can be used congratulations!
Really enjoy your projects, workshop and land. Thank you for sharing. All the best.
Thanks! /Richard
I really enjoy seeing old equipment from other countries, I live in the USA. Many of your countries machines are similar to ours but still a little different in some ways. Its kind of interesting. Take good care of that little girl and thanks for another good video
Thanks mate! /Richard
Nice Killer tiler I think it`s great Love the old stuff
hellt otroligt den startade direkt.bra jobbat
Tack. Ja varenda gång så är det ett drag. Sen går den. /Richard
Love to watch you repair these great pieces of History. Back when Machine's were made to last. And thank you for being a great Dad. Your Children will remember you fondly. Liked,shared. All my very best to you and yours.
Hi, and a huge thank you! 😊 /Richard
Hi Richard Great video again. Super. And your kids really seem to enjoy it as much as you do😀😀😀😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Best regards Christoph
Thank you mate 🙂 /Richard
I love those Videos. I like seeing what's inside and how to handle the problems that come along... idk why. So much to observe and learn. Awesome teaching and chill man.. Thumps up👌👍😎
