Hi everyone. Just to say I am aware of the 3hp decal being upside down. I am hoping to turn it around.
👌
great job daggerwin I mentioned machinery restorer in your live stream
Just wondering if you slapped your forehead like I do when I do this kind of stuff??!! :-)
No, it's a learning experience
It's your point of view, pay no attention to us. Thanks for a great rebuld.
For sale: 1980s rototiller, used as boat anchor in atlantic since new.
It looked like it that's for sure. Must of been a yard ornament.
Just half looked like it was used as an anchor. The other half was covered somehow lol
😂😂😂
I dont know how or why, but I have oddly enough become addicted to restoration videos even though they make me extremely jealous of all these people with great garages and tools I wish I had lol

85 toI'm OK km o hi
Me too
Exactly
start buying tools one by one. I buy one tool every month
Dear Machinery Restorer, thank you for providing us with such high-quality clip of old machinery restoration. The way you shoot these processes is clear and comforting to watch. Yes, I am using the word "comforting." On a Sunday morning, I sit in front of the computer with a cup of coffee and watch the master--namely you--at work, and that feeling is comforting. You bring an old machine back to life and give it new meaning to serve again. Thank you very much.
"This machine was built in 1980' ''since then, it was stored in the deep ocean'
I was thinking a barrel of muriatic acid!
like dio brando!
love your comment....it's awesome
@@leifhietala8074 My first thought was "Built in 1980 - and then immediately parked in the sea!"
Salt mine
I never would have figured that watching someone overhaul a garden tiller would be interesting. However, I think what makes this interesting for me, is the way that it was edited. You showed constant progress all the way through, without spending too much time on one particular part or aspect. Quality production keeps my interest. Well done lad!
You can get addicted to restoration videos!
Dale D pplppl
Nothing like watching others work! It just chaps my ass when arm chair mechanics criticize this or that.. They should make their own damn video
(Ppl ppl) ?? I musta missed something
Goswen Gaming i
That was ridiculously satisfying
Shane Buckley and healing too
At first I was like why restore it, it isnt that old then I realized 1980 was 29 years ago. :-) edit: nope still wrong *39 years ago* damn doesnt seem that long ago.
@@thewilddinkus8026 I know, right..
Had to watch it all the way through.
Congratulations, you now have the best museum-quality $39 Montgomery Wards tiller ever sold. In a great market at the right auction that could bring perhaps $200.
I have extreme anxiety at night and watching your videos lowers my blood pressure and enables me to sleep, thank you
I know I’m commenting on an older video but my dude, I say this with all the love in my heart, I am never bored watching this kind of thing, I like your process and the videos, but I have discovered that watching these after I get off my night shift really helps relax me to the point that I don’t even realize my eyes have closed and it follows me into a half awake state and then I’m waking up 4-5 hours later and it’s glorious- i don’t get a full 8 but I get something and I’m not anxious. Thank you so much for sharing this.
It’s so great to watch how you helped this poor guy. After all it’s saying: “Thanks a lot! Now let me help you with your garden.”
I must say I absolutely admire and appreciate your quality of restorations and your attention to detail.
no music no commentary just pure restoration goodness. turned out beautifully! thanks for sharing
I'm great at pulling things apart....Putting back together is another story
I am the same way Holy shit, maybe we are related!
Same here, I usually end up with spare parts
Same. Usually I have some extra parts left after assembling :)
A am the opposite
@@_Dwarkin I repaired a battery hedge trimmer and have 3 screws left over DOH!
Great job you're a good mechanic.
Amszing mehanik, good restoration!
Built in 1980... and going by the looks of it immediately thrown in the Atlantic ocean where it sat ever since. Awesome work! I can't get enough of videos like this, there's something particularly satisfying about seeing something "irreparable" getting restored, 99.999% of everyone else would have immediately junked it as scrap metal!
Motor has that familiar look of being submerged in flood waters.
Yes, SALTY flood waters.
How in the world could anyone give this a thumbs down? Geesh, you do a wonderful job, and thank you for sharing!
Using old piston rings that had visible signs of deterioration would be on reason.
@@gus6rocks makes sense that it could be the reason, but IMO it would be better to leave a constructive comment rather than a thumbs down. His ability to restore equipment is already far superior to the average person, I can't see how one oversight deserves 140+ thumbs down. I'd like to see any of those people try and attempt this :)
gus6rocks - You wouldn’t just go and replace the piston rings due to visible signs of wear. First - you need a reason such as evidence of poor compression or a smokey engine but this is a 3hp garden tiller that doesn’t even turn over to start, so no evidence it has either of those issues. Second, in an old engine the rings, pistons, bores have all worn together, so you could end up making a good engine bad swapping parts out like that and ending up with the issue you were trying to fix that didn’t exist before but now does. The best thing to do in this engine is exactly what he did - get it cleaned up, run it, test it and if there are any running issues deal with them then. A quick run clearly demonstrated it was working fine and no such serious expensive mechanical fixes were needed aside from a strip, and a good clean, with only bearings and seals/gaskets needed. That’s how I would have done it too, and as Martin Murphy said it didn’t deserve a thumbs down not for any reason in my opinion. These machinery and tool restoration videos do such a fabulous job of encouraging others to dig in and see how things work, and really help look after our history. Upside down sticker - now it’s one of a kind. LOL.
You could ask that about any video on YT. Someone could save a drowning puppy from a frozen lake and it will get some down votes. Go figure.
gus6rocks - I know you gave one reason mate, you may be right in why someone gave a thumbs down, but you are WRONG in what you say, it is NOT BAD PRACTICE to re use old piston rings. It’s not like changing your brake fluid, brake pads, engine oil, coolant, or any other wearable part or consumable item that’s always to the benefit of the engine, if you just go and change piston rings you could be doing more harm than good, to a perfectly working engine. It would be best practice to change the rings, and pistons and rebore/hone the cylinders yes together, but BAD to change the rings alone. If you don’t understand that you don’t understand engines at all. And as he showed in the end result, engine ran fine. Sorry dude but you’re wrong
What a brilliant job, love doing these restos!!!! Well done.
A joy to see a great old machine purr once again.
When i can't sleep, i watch restoration video and more japanese live seafood. Don't forget instant karma video. Thank you for the great content :)
I admire your dedication to making that old machine run like new. I'm stunned the difference. It looked like a complete basket case at the start, but it looks beautiful now. It was so satisfying to hear that little motor run again. Awesome job!
I have to say: This video was very nice to watch. Just do the work with a little description. No annoying music and no talking aaaaall the time. Thanks.
Agreed - I want to watch the takedown and the repair. Incessant talking and too much music detracts from the quality of the video.
I don't know why I feel satisfied when watching this kind of restoration video especially no inferior background music & voice-over.
Love seeing these old machines being restored and working again. Looks like it had a rough outdoor life. It deserved to be restored. 🙂
I dont know why but this is the top 3 things i have spent 25 minutes of my life on
That tiller looks like its having a blast! 🤣 finally able to play in the dirt again after all those years! Awesome project.
Those Briggs engines are great, just got an old 80s Briggs powered tiller to run after sitting for over 10 years. Going to use it then restore it and sell it on
Thank you for resurrecting this equipment
You took her back in time. She looks beautiful. Thanks for posting that one.
Sometimes it can be quite satisfying to watch some of these restoration channels they make something that almost looks as if it's gone too far lost to time and nature yet they managed to turn back the clock and make it beautiful again from Cars to desk fans lawn mowers and in this case a tiller
my grandad had one of these, he gave it to me in 1992 when i was 12.It had stopped working, as i was keen on engines he gave it to me to tinker with and try and get working again. I managed it with a little help from my dad, My grandad let me sell it and use the money to buy a mountain bike i was pestering for lol This video brought back all those memories, great video thanks.
Beautiful work
Amazing, you really brought that back from the dead.
Amazing restoration, a pleasure to watch.
Excellent job on an old piece. Always like to see things be restored rather than scrapped. And do such a thorough job as to rebuild the engine rather than repower. Enjoyed the video keep it up.
Top job. Bringing these old rusty heaps back to life is so rewarding and satisfying to watch. Simply excellent.
I was born in 1980, your work is a wonderful. Hello from Russia.
I really like quality restorations. Very satisfying, kind of like a relaxation video for detail oriented people, lol.
Digno de admirar esta restauración!! Increíble!!
I must say I'm impressed - I didn't think you were able to make that pile of rusty junk to work again! Good job. 👍👍👍
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in awhile. No narration needed you and the little Briggs spoke volumes without saying anything at all !
Excellent video. Enjoyable from start to finish. Didn't get bogged down with minutiae and flowed well. Congrats.
It will run forever! Awesome video. This is the kind of inspirations some people might need to start their own restoration project. Thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers
Being a small engine tech myself for 30 years...since I was about 13...Great Job!
I kinda work with gokarts and small engines as a hobby.
One of the rustiest machines I've seen restored - Great job!
The fact that there is no talk and weird accent (like in many other home/diy/tips/etc videos) makes watching this so immersive! Also very good editing, always keeping us interested with not too long or too short cuts, and also you are knowledgeable in the mechanics of things as well, some restoration videos are all about aesthetics only, but now I'm watching a skilled person
You did a great job. Was so good to watch
Skills to live by. A tiller, an old generator, a saw, having these talents could save your life. Thanks for sharing this knowledge
Watched this as my 6hr headache simultaneously began to lift - talk about heavenly ;) Beautiful restoration work!
You seriously did an amazing job. I like your thought process and editing skills more than some others that do everything at once. You completely finish one piece at a time
Decal is fine! I'd leave as a sign the machine was brought back from the dead and it now has a new direction in this world. Binged watched a few of your offerings and I've got to say, you do fantastic work! Thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing job...I would have written that one off!
Very nice - a simple, but neglected old machine restored to like new condition and running well. Good job!
Shiny!
Yup
i love how his videos have no ads :P
Nice work!greatings from Czech Republic 👍
Bravo! Expertise, good tools, and the patience of Job.
this beutifol restoration!!!! And good job!!!
Просто красавчик молодец мне как механику просто приятно когда есть такие люди.спасибо.
That was a fantastic restoration, one of the best. I like the editing but I do prefer your narration over the video. Looks like you have lots of new shiny equipment too, polishing wheel, ultrasonic bath and a sandblasting booth. Nice work. More, more, more!
This great job!!!!And good video!!!
me at the end of the video after watching 23 minutes of cleaning: "noooo, you're getting it dirty!"
Lol
yea same im like whyy
Wonderfully done. So nice to see apparatus beinig serviced by you, will get a new lease of life. Thanks for sharing!
I've watched several restores from this guy and he always does and outstanding job ... keep up the GREAT work!
Engine rusty and from the 80’s spark plug still comes out... meanwhile at ford
I know exactly what you speak of. Got a kick outta that one.
Yeah no joke.. that #3 plug
Sean Spell stop
Because it's not actually rusted, its a method where you basically put it in fire, if left to rust without this method it would've gotten into the threading and made it alot harder, its something along the lines of rapid oxidation from the combustion of a material, meaning its just fast rusting
@@jordanfenwick123 it a joke about fords not chem class home boy 😂😂
Absolutely great job my friend.. thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Greatly appreciated. Thank you 😀👍🏆
Top notch restoration very nice job. Love how it came out
481 people disliked the video for absolutely no reason!!?? GREAT video man! Goes to show ya with a lil bit of work and a few new parts, you can rebuild most things!
Your hard work was paid Such as an amazing inspiring vid😍
This is unbelievable! I love watching your videos! It's quite amazing how you can take any old run down machine and restore it to new!
I picked up a tiller off the side of the road, no small effort, and it looked like an archaeological excavation. Thanks for this detailed breakdown!
Youre back! You saved my day.
Good quality video 👌🏽 made it more interesting
Wonderful dedication to the job. When you revealed the Flymo decal… wow… could see she’d be a beauty and I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks
Amazing restoration... from junk, to a nice looking piece that is useful again! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! Keep up the good work!
good job!!!!
excellent job! I believe you're missing the spud which would replace the wheels with a drag rod to make it easier to use. Works this way too though!
Come on give him a break about the decal... Yeah I noticed it also, but man oh man I’m shocked you brought it back to Life.!!! congratulations!!! Good work.
Love that you care about these old machines that just need some tlc, that thing was happy to be alive again
I know nothing about mechanics, but I really enjoy seeing old machines brought back to life. An excellent video.
I love these types of videos! Great job on the restoration!
What a good job 👍👍
i love those motors as a kid i made a go cart using one of them man i miss that thing. awesome job and thanks for the memories.
Enjoyed watching this video, a great inspiration for a DIY person.
worked at an aerospace machine shop for years, and learned my lesson a few times with the ultra- sonic cleaner (industrial sized)...let a couple parts in over a weekend, running...non-existent by monday, lol
Hold up, so the corrosion became non-existent?....or the parts?
@@martinramirezjr7872 the parts were completely disintegrated from the ultra sonic cleaner
@@gregleblond6039 Dear god.
@@martinramirezjr7872 try explaining that one to the supervisor
Wait so it uses sound to remove corrosion
Now that’s a skill AI will not take away, great job!!
Now this is what i call Recycling! So much old machinery out there still good that just needs a birthday. Such a shame most people buy new
steve A mate yeah it is cool and it would be great if everyone repaired all of their tools. But that amount of effort for everything would be insanely long
This is your best one yet. The most intricate. Great job man👍
never understood tillers.. Tears it all up we follow behind and crush it all down with out feet trying not to get chopped up in the midst
I actually drag mine backwards for that very reason.
tillers are supposed to be pulled not pushed
Tillers are VERY useful in hard soil. But you do not race it like in the video, you go very slowly. The tiller angle adjusts the depth and speed. Press handle down and it will dig in, lift handle up and it advances.
Fantastic bit of editing there must have taken you ages and top work on the tiller she looks great.
Glad to see it work and look like new again. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing!!! Awesome work! Giving new life to something old and discarded has to make you feel really great. Thank you for posting what you do!
good job!!!!
Nice work, I’m always amazed how you find the parts for a 30 year old machine. Great job 👍
Not that hard.. doing a full OEM restoration on a 1969 honda trail 70..
Nice save. You need to make a drag bar behind the tiller so you don't have to fight holding on to it. Set correctly, your hands should just be resting on the handles.. let the drag bar hold the tiller back, not you.
Yep, these type of tillers usually came with a spud. You're probably missing that piece but you can't help that the previous owners lost it!
Great work you have brought the engine back to life I work on alot of those engines
What a truly great job you, made its like new ! Cheers, Jeff.
Probably one of the best videos I've seen on KZhead. Great job!
Check out my mechanics. His attention to detail is much better. I came here after binging on his vids and found this one lacking.
I dread to think how long this must have taken, good video and good skills
Probably a week.
To say you've done a perfect job is to say nothing. In my eyes you are a magician. I take off my hat!
Awesome Work! Nothing like overhauling a Briggs and Strap on! Fantastic job!
You did an amazing job on that, I tried to restore the exact same model as that but I couldn’t get parts for it, so great job
I was wondering where he found some of those gaskets for a tiller from the 80s
Thank you for this awesome video. Good editing on it too. You have great skills, talent and knowledge with these engines.
In every restoring video you do, i keep seeing only a lot of hand skills and passion !!! Magnificent job !!!!!
I don't understand why anybody would give us thumbs down on your videos I find them to be very helpful and informative and I can honestly say you did a great job on this restoration also It was a pleasure to watch
