I have to compliment you on your efforts to provide light and camera angles that closely show the machining processes (or any procedure) making it a LOT more interesting to watch. Especially since I find trying to properly illuminate a work area causes me lots of grief, even without trying to make videos! My kingdom for the Perfect Worklight! BTW I think it's so great that people choose to repair (and upgrade) lawnmowers and similar rather than simply throw them away!

Thank you Dale. Funnily enough i was looking to make a custom clutch cable for Triumph and during my headscratching, found Venhill selling the Bird Cage tool. I thought as you did, that's got to be easy to make. I can advise that their price is equivalent to approx 190 USD!!!... So thank you so much for a great video and saving many of us a lot of money. 😊

I put a Barnett clutch and springs in my 87 CR250 back in the 90s and man those are some STIFF springs!

Greatest lawnmower ever made! The old Brick top was such a cool design. I’m 66 and have managed to keep mine running and don’t plan on ever buying a brand new lawnmower. Great work Dale!

Thanks Dale. For those that might be interested this mower is 52 years old (owned by me) and had the original seals still in it top and bottom and it still ran and started great. Bottom of crank close to blade (side play) had far exceeded original specs and was super sloppy. piston and cylinder spec out like new still with no wear what so ever. don't even have to use my new. piston that I acquired about 20 years ago Ring end gap was close to 0.040 if you can believe that and it still had decent compression.. Steady died of 2 stroke lawn boy oil is all this machine has ever seen. Again thank you for helping me out here. Charlie

Great job Dale,never seen this model before.🏍

Can we see your lawn boy collection?

Have a f7 been in storage ( basement )for many years, all I had was 1st gear ? Doug ( repair shop guru) said had detent ball fall out of shifter - long rod ,,ball missing ? Called a leaner ( pagoda MC club )(70's old school). . . Local Kawasaki dealer ( been modernized)(they just want to sell new)( you have what?), can you tell where to go cause even Doug is now close to 70 (retired), thanks Tony ...

Awesome upgrade ,and awesome machine work, that lawnboy will be a screamer

Hi Dale, since you have a way to harden and temper steel, you might have experimented to see how hard transmission gears are. I have been thinking of making some but have not done hardening test on old gears. Do you have a hardness tester and what fact or lore do you have about how a gear is hardened and how hard is ideal?

Beef prime rib roasts,61ish in change 👍👍👍👍

Great bit of information and repair work there Dale! Keep it coming!

Great fix Dale. They used to make a two stroke mower here many years ago that had a 35cc J.A.P engine in. I have an old Suffolk Super Colt with a side valve four stroke. Made by the Suffolk Iron Foundry. Its from the 1970s, but the same design as the ones they made in the 1950s. Best wishes, Dean.

That is a good repair.

Thanks for the video, Dale. I subscribed a couple weeks ago when you were splitting the 2-cyl Yamaha crankshaft apart.

Well it looks like you have some spare parts and some scrape metal , cool video Dale .

Yes we had new one Peace out 300 the cost of it

Excellent work.

You forgot the best part 😀 They're Twostrokes braap 💨💨

This will help for 1-2 years, but the real problem is the seals leaking after time. As an ex dealer in lawnboy we tried double lipped seals and even stacking 2 seals in the case. It all helps, but the seals will eventually fail. Keep up the good work !

great repair job dale should last a good whille keep up the good work next video please

It's been 30 years since I have heard a lawn boy run😂😂

Great video, I watched all clips in your LB playlist. You make it look so easy. My old C series “long snout” cases were not round OD bushings, looked they poured the brass in, then bored it out to fit. I have 3 from the 70’s that I use weekly & a couple of spare cases. No local machinists would tackle the conversion. Had the INA made SCE1412 bearings & seals already…

Thanks Dale! Cheers, Peter.

What's a lawn mower? las Vegas we have rock yards front and back! LOL

I've had many Lawn-Boy lawn mowers all of them for free that someone sit on the side of the road they were always started right up and run until they were gone now I have an industrial one that pulls itself and then I have a bigger one that the parks used to use it has a lot of 200 cc displacement that I can see😅 I love these engines

As I said before , I dont think i have ever seen a LawnBoy . I will have to start looking . Thanks Dale .

On deck!

Enjoyed seeing how these assemblies come apart. So when Barry Sheen was racing, was this the bearing he complained about in practice? The same one the mechanics refused to replace? Ended up failing in the race. Kenny Roberts won again that day. I imagine the race bikes were a similar design.

Hey Dale! You’re right, ring compressors for two strokes are pretty darn useless. I tried the new style that comes with ratcheting pliers. WAY easier the old way. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for the educational video Sir, I really enjoyed it, the skills you showed us will probably come in handy for me.

Late to the party. Still fairly early Saturday morning here. Another excellent video Dale. If that rod had let go now THERE would be some carnage. Cheers, Peter.

Just late lol

Not too bad considering the water had been at it Dale. You will get another run out of it I'm sure. I'm busy remaking my crankshaft splitting tool as the crusty B175 crank refused to move and destroyed the tool! Best wishes, Dean.

Take a close up with your phone, then bow it up, you won't believe what you can see.

Another Great Video Dale. Enjoy seeing you using your shop-made tools. Seeing these early twins shows how advanced engineering in Japan was at the time. Remember watching the duels between the 250 Bultaco singles and 250 Japanese twines at Ascot and the smell of bean oil heavy in the air.

Thanks Dale , any information on where to find vintage parts is always Great.

That tool you made works great on splitting them. Hope you can find the other piston.

Here

Awesome information about the connecting rods! As you know I need some, super good news. Keep up the good work!

Yes that had rust on it Peace out

Love your stuff thank you from Fairbanks Alaska I have a new friend he's the chief mechanic of a fun center here in Fairbanks Alaska

One of the few things I'm learning for the first time today! Thank you for the patience

hi, Dale frank in blazing hot las vegas.

Sorry I am late to the party, but I 100% agree that the new fender and gaiters update the look of the front end. It gives the bike a kind of Honda S90 vibe. Great work as usual!

Brilliant. Very detailed. Love your workshop too, very jealous.

New watcher here. Keep 'em coming.

53:29, Wow! Absolutely beautiful beautiful bikes, I used to not be much of a fan of the MX versions, however they really grew on me the last few months, absolutely stunning

Just discover your projects Dale ,enjoy every bit of it.Great job.🚴

Nice work! Originally came to your channel for machining but us hobbiests seem to have a lot in common with cars and motorcycles. Love the content.
