Thank you SO much for this video! I have 3 identical carts & 2 are leaking in the swivel. My father passed last summer & I’ve spent the past yr trying to fill his very big shoes in caring for the house, 10 acres, blackberries/fruit trees-as mom is no longer able. I can’t tell you how many seemingly small things like these leaks have made me appreciate how much he knew how to do & how much he did. Tasks that take me days to figure out, he would have fixed in mins. These hose carts have been so frustrating bc I haven’t been able to figure out how to take the swivel apart & hated to spend $200 a piece to replace. Dads workshop is filled w/thousands of parts for every repair imaginable but knowing how to repair, what parts to use etc has been time consuming. So I thank u today for helping me. I’m truly grateful.
LOL, never thought I could enjoy watching someone fixing a hose reel but I did, I did. Thank you so much for your videos, knowledge and saving some of the weirdest contraptions I've seen in a while. We get snow down here and the kids want to put it in the freezer till summer. lol My third job was at a Volkswagen shop. I was 14. They had bought a train car load of Continental tires that fit everything from an Austin-Healey to a VW. Didn't have a Cotes. All I had was an IRON MAN. At 70 pounds soaking wet I learned the definitions of lubrication and leverage. I also learned about anchoring because one day I had to re-anchor it or not work. Not the perfect place to work but I learned bunches.
Nice hose real find, sure beats the heck out our plastic one we have that has leaked since day one. Hey your wrist brace is no more! Congratulations, I'm sure you're not sorry to see that gone. Thank you for sharing your video.
Mustie I don't tend to comment but I think it's time to thank you for all of your wonderful videos you give us. You manage to make something as simple as a hose reel so interesting and relaxing. Thank you again
I never thought, in a million years, that I would enjoy a video about repairing a hose reel, but I did! It's like investigating and solving a problem without getting your hands dirty. Thanks Mustie1, looking forward to your next one
Not only did I put safety goggles on, I put on a hockey mask because last time you put one in my cheek. But I'm glad you finally broke down and bought a new wire wheel. That valve clamp would have come in handy a few videos ago. Nice find on both counts!
love your channel!My son and I watch it all the time, have learned alot about small engine repairs and even fixed something I had watching your channel!
Good video, even small fixes are informative, shows how things can be fixed and on to more life, keep it up guy, love all your videos, very informative and entertaining. Thanks
I just got one from Rural King and paid $69.99. 5/5/2020. This is the same one you have there from Ironton. I did not use the wheels and mounted mine to an outside wall. Saved the 4 wheels, axles, and handle. My instructions where in the trash, I did not use them, they are useless instructions. So far I'm very happy, went together easy and I saved Money and it is cheaper that the ones they sell that mount on the wall. The one you have is much heaver than the one I brought. The older ones are made better.
Yeah, I’m glad you put this up. I would be happy to find an old one metal unit like the one you repaired. The plastic ones are made to be thrown away. I was on here to see if there are any videos that show how to repair them.
I have a wall mount hose reel with a similar connection. Just moved in and it drips. Quick run to the hardware store for a couple o-rings, no more drips!!
Just wanted to say thanks for letting me tag along when u fixy thingys...ur pretty awesome...I found u a month ago and u have so much content...I love it all....U actually inspired me to start a small gas engine repair business in my neighborhood...don't let people bust ur balls...U got it all figured out.....WIth ur experience u do things for a reason....We all know it...we just don't comment :)
I gave up on vinyl hoses years ago. They always failed within 2 years. I only use Craftsman Rubber hoses: good in any temperature, crushproof, and can withstand the sun. Twice the price but worth it for the longevity. Good fix!
Mustie that was close Sorry I actually got out of the way cause that handle was coming towards you ha yeah nice work who the letter O not important well you definitely know nice to see the pony,s are happy too lol🐴🐎👍👍👍
dielectric grease is perfect for that, it's just clean "silicone grease" sold as many names/labels including "plumbers grease" great for lubricating plumbing o-rings, valves, spouts
looks good, you may want to weight it down with some concrete blocks to hold it stable while wrapping up the hose or pulling the hose off the reel. just a thought. I'm getting to think like my son. while you were wrapping that hose on the reel I was thinking of powering that with one of your antique engines. anyways, thanks for the videos. I am hooked. I can't do much of that anymore. bad wrist, bad back. bad eyes. I had to have my son do the plasti-gauge read on on my truck engine a few years back. couldn't see it well enough even with a magnifying glass. now I just armchair it while you do the wrenching, or sit on the hose reeel to keep it from tipping over while you bent the handle back into shape. but I'm afraid my excess weight kind of did a number to it. I won't say anything if you don't notice.
My wife, dog and cat and I live alone in in a 4-storey, 4,000sq ft. house and we watch all videos and do all computer work in the evening in a room that is about 8 ft by 12 ft. It's the smallest room in the house.
Thank you for telling me what the valve spring adjuster is. I acquired one from an 'i died, come take stuff from the garage' type deal... Had zero idea
always interesting Mustie1 , thought you injured your right hand ? Maybe there will be a spike in views on older vids to solve the mysterious brace switch....
Unusual to see a Hozelock connector (the black quick-connector thing) in the US, didn't think you guys used them, favouring the screw-on jobbies that take a week to attach... :P
Hiya mustie its 2:20am here and i still enjoy watching your videos though if your looking for some work i could do with a hand fixing my dog of a car.. good to see your limp wrist is all better now fella.
This is indicative of our throw away society. Throw away instead of fixing. Just as a suggestion, the best lubricant for o-rings is Arturo-glide. It was developed by NASA for the space shuttle. When I worked at a cotton mill I kept some in my tool box just for that. Took a lot of crap about it till they found out it how it worked. Then the mill ordered for all departments!

Hey, man thanks for the Video I got the same real for 5 bucks to and I hooked it all up attached it to my house it came with no wheels but it is leaking like a sieve same thing I guess the "O" rings THANKS MUCH!!
Silicone grease is a plus!! should also be under the rings in the gland, not just the OD swivel part. Is high pressure and low pressure SCUBA systems, we use either silicone ( dielectric ) grease on buna-n rings, or for high oxygen lines, Viton rings with Cristolube 111.
Just to let you and your viewers know sams club every spring sells a very nice metal hose reel normally each store gets in one shipment and when there gone there my dad and i have both had one for many years and they hold and work very well.
So were you feeling a little horse, or did it nag you? LOL :-D. Hey the reel is usable now and better than your old one :-D Shame about the crappy plastic part, i'm sure that a brass one would not have failed. Channel locks, handy tool, i bought a pair and don't know how i managed without them.
I thought I was the only nut fixing a hose reel that should very well be thrown in the garbage. Very impressed by your videos Mustie. Great job...

For sure... put it up. You are teaching the masses how to wrench. Your common sense approach and troubleshooting is priceless!

Mustie, I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say I'd watch you explain why water is wet for 30 minutes. When in doubt, put it up! :)
Hear Hear.... Words Of Shakespeare.
But lets not get out of hand.. It's hoses for cosies!
Agreed! When in doubt, put it up. :)
yes, if its a mustie1 video, its a good video!
Always glad to see there is a new Mustie1 video up, keep posting whatever it is. Cheers.
A good hose reel is rare now. Looks like a winner right there.
I have one of those Rubbermaid reels!! I expect the handle to break every time I use it, no luck though, it's going on 15 years!!☺
love your channel!My son and I watch it all the time, have learned alot about small engine repairs and even fixed something I had watching your channel!
I like the animals at the end of every video that's a nice touch thanks
Good video, even small fixes are informative, shows how things can be fixed and on to more life, keep it up guy, love all your videos, very informative and entertaining. Thanks

There is always a great feeling I get when fixing something instead of just throwing it out.
Yeap, cheap metal beats expensive plastic every time! :>) Thanks, Mustie. All your stuff is always entertaining and informative.
love watching. silicone grease for o rings is what we use in scuba equipment service. not react with o ring
Yeah, I’m glad you put this up. I would be happy to find an old one metal unit like the one you repaired. The plastic ones are made to be thrown away. I was on here to see if there are any videos that show how to repair them.
Right up to the end.......I thought it was the carburetor
Sweet repair !!!
I have a wall mount hose reel with a similar connection. Just moved in and it drips. Quick run to the hardware store for a couple o-rings, no more drips!!

I have the same Craftsman valve spring compressor. I bought mine in the mid 1970s, so that gives a idea how old yours is.
"Best rubber for holdin' up the friction..." :) nice mustie
00:30 in germany...think sleep has to wait. thx Mustie1!
Came here for a New Englander in a wrist brace. Was not dissapointed.
Keeping mama happy! Very important.
Not bad for the middle of the week. I am sure you will be sailing this weekend.
I gave up on vinyl hoses years ago. They always failed within 2 years. I only use Craftsman Rubber hoses: good in any temperature, crushproof, and can withstand the sun. Twice the price but worth it for the longevity. Good fix!
Nice to see someone using his hands, instead of sissy gloves. Good work, pal.
Mustie that was close Sorry I actually got out of the way cause that handle was coming towards you ha yeah nice work who the letter O not important well you definitely know nice to see the pony,s are happy too lol🐴🐎👍👍👍
dielectric grease is perfect for that, it's just clean "silicone grease" sold as many names/labels including "plumbers grease" great for lubricating plumbing o-rings, valves, spouts
if one person learns 1 thing Mustie, it's worth it. I've been doing it for 50 years, I still love the challenge
Finally got to see you Darrin. I had no service for a week. Woo Hoo!
Nice find and nice repair job.
I have learned to keep my safety glasses real close for when I watch your videos. just in case (like needing them for this video).
That is the coolest scrap ever! I want one!
Definitely lube your o-rings with silicone grease - just lightly coat them before installing. Pro plumber advice.
I was thinking , you could make them your self for from some old bike parts and let it look special. Would look good between the plants in the garden.
I did the same thing to my thrift store purchase of 7 years ago, this Spring. They don't make them like they used to!
looks good, you may want to weight it down with some concrete blocks to hold it stable while wrapping up the hose or pulling the hose off the reel. just a thought.
I'm getting to think like my son. while you were wrapping that hose on the reel I was thinking of powering that with one of your antique engines.

Mustie, I better not tell you from which (smallest) room in the house I'm watching this....thanks for the up!
l bring out the best in people
Harry Ireland Bedroom closet?!
My wife, dog and cat and I live alone in in a 4-storey, 4,000sq ft. house and we watch all videos and do all computer work in the evening in a room that is about 8 ft by 12 ft. It's the smallest room in the house.

The only person in the world who would take the time to repair a hose reel
I bet half the people on here have repaired a hose reel. I had one that needed repair every spring, until I replaced it with a commercial metal one.
always interesting Mustie1 , thought you injured your right hand ? Maybe there will be a spike in views on older vids to solve the mysterious brace switch....
Ha! I saw the same thing. What? Left hand brace now? Maybe I need more hobbies than Mustie1 injury watching.
I wonder if it's like "Young Frankenstein" where the hunchback moves the hump from side to side. And then says "What hump?".
Looks like a fun easy fix! Other wrist got injured?
Unusual to see a Hozelock connector (the black quick-connector thing) in the US, didn't think you guys used them, favouring the screw-on jobbies that take a week to attach... :P
common here now
Save the world recycling whit Mustie1!!
Hiya mustie its 2:20am here and i still enjoy watching your videos though if your looking for some work i could do with a hand fixing my dog of a car.. good to see your limp wrist is all better now fella.
Look forward to hangin in the garage, even if its just a hose reel.
I like the brass quick disconnects better than plastic.

@dashrendar99 yup yup. we dont need no stinking innovations. animal fat worked as lube for the settlers. so its good enough for the mill......
I wasn't able to find anything about "Arturo-glide", any link to it online?
io9.com/5840533/10-weirdest-consumer-products-based-on-nasa-technology/amp
Spaceshuttles, A-lube and O-rings....hmmm...what could possibly go wrong ???
terrific video, I'm going to find something just like that.
Hey, man thanks for the Video I got the same real for 5 bucks to and I hooked it all up attached it to my house it came with no wheels but it is leaking like a sieve same thing I guess the "O" rings THANKS MUCH!!
A smear of silicon grease on the O rings would help keep it lubed.
mustie fixing stuff and beer time...quality!
Too bad more people dont take the time to fix this stuff, I enjoyed the video
yes i love your video's don't know why.
Mustie you could make a small cart out of the old hose reel just take off the reel and mount a box to the frame. Just an idea.
nice horse puppys
Keep em coming!!!!!!!
HI JUST WATCH SOME OF YOUR BEGINNING VIDEOS MUCH DIFFERENT BUT INTERESTING TKS AGAIN RON AND VERO IN NY
they kinda suck
was i the only muppet who put there hand up to protect my eyes when you got the power wheel out!
Silicone grease is a plus!! should also be under the rings in the gland, not just the OD swivel part. Is high pressure and low pressure SCUBA systems, we use either silicone ( dielectric ) grease on buna-n rings, or for high oxygen lines, Viton rings with Cristolube 111.
Now, that is a proper hose reel. I know this is cliche but they just don't make shit like they used to.
Brand new!! Nice
Plumbers grease, or key grease would be best on the o-rings. That's the stuff used to lubricate various parts on faucets.
That's a really nice reel and cart. The ones over here are all junk...expensive junk.
"Marine grease" (for boat trailer bearings) seals stuff like that.
Just to let you and your viewers know sams club every spring sells a very nice metal hose reel normally each store gets in one shipment and when there gone there my dad and i have both had one for many years and they hold and work very well.
I dig a pony... and a hose reel.
What would that be one and a half horse power at the end great job mustie1
Use silicon grease. That's what's used on water seals like that.
I could sure use one of those. Would you consider selling the refurb'd "new" one?
I use O-ring grease for faucets on my garden hose reels and air line reels. Seems to stay put for a while, available at big box stores.
You did a REEL good job.Mustie.
the piece that is on the reel hose, the piece that you took the black piece out of,,, what is that called and how do I replace that? Mine broke off
i bought a hose reel just like that one at lowes,it has inflated tires on it
Pretty good, as long as your not, watering the weeds and losing pressure, lol
"Probably don't need any lube in there. Would it hurt? Yeah...not sure." sorry bud, dirty mind tonight
I know this is an older video, but for lube on the o-rings you should be using a food safe non rubber reacting lube like christo-lube.
Have you damage your left hand now as well? :(
another winner ! Tom ( G B )
Good for another 20 year's!
So were you feeling a little horse, or did it nag you? LOL :-D.
Hey the reel is usable now and better than your old one :-D
Shame about the crappy plastic part, i'm sure that a brass one would not have failed.
Channel locks, handy tool, i bought a pair and don't know how i managed without them.
"what could we do to tighten that up?" could try turning it?
Nice work
thanks
nice find
im with you ofendo
They threw the good metal one out on the way to buy the crappy plastic one. Did you fall off of something again? lol
Fun Stuff !!
Are you gonna stake down the axles so it doesn't rock?
yes
someone may take your old one from the scrap yard and fix it up lol.
you warned me and i still got a sliver of brass in my eye...
FYI: You'll find that the Craftsman valve spring compressor won't work on VW heads, at least not without modification.
Looks like you could maybe save the handle too. Certainly not much else there worth salvaging!
I want the old one
id turn that old hose reel into a small garden cart or welding cart
o ya that lube helps best thing would be o ring lube for swimming pool pumps
