So agree man, thats what make tv whows about restoration and just generally good contently like this so rare, i just want information and to see someone skillful at work
It just goes to show - If you're willing to throw enough time, money and parts at something, anything can be restored to near perfect condition. It's an Individual choice as to whether the cost is justifiable. Having said that, I am really pleased that there are people like your good self who are willing to do so and then share it all with us.
This came out soo incredible! I have to admit, I was not understanding how the collector would be emptied but then you showed it off and what a brilliantly simple design! I love it, would use this machine for routine lawn care for many many years!
Every time you talk on your Daggerwin channel about how long these restorations take, I don’t doubt it-I know the feeling (and the time it takes you to restore it doesn’t even include the editing, and not to mention the filming)! But the restorations are always worth it in the end! Nice work, as always!
AWESOME VIDEO. Im a farm kid from Illinois (now 61 years old) and have a real passion for old equipment od all kinds especially garden tractors. I have a 1968 Case 155 i use all the time for little work around my 1/2acre lot on the edge of town in Mesa Az. One day I hope to restore it to its former glory! GOOD WORK and thanks
Love watching this type of stuff, the skill dismantling then putting it back together making it look like new seeing it reborn again. is very satisfying.
What a great restoration. You can clearly see the time it takes you to do these, I think you went through you entire yearly outfits for spring summer autumn and winter. And nice to see an appearance of virtual Dagerwin, even if it was only his feet for a fleeting glance, along with his dog aswell. Keep up the good work. One last thing have you ever thought of doing an outtakes video, I am sure you must have some on the cutting room floor of mishaps and errors. Thanks again loving your dedication to restoration.
Restoring old mowers like this is a challenge that is not for the faint of heart. I am in the process of restoring a 16 year old Craftsman mower with a 26hp Kohler Courage and a 54 inch cutting deck. It is a behemoth, and sourcing parts has been quite the challenge. I understand why you don't put out a lot of restoration videos. I have been working on this one for 17 months. I am nearly finished, but I have been waiting three weeks on a bracket that I need to make the brakes functional again. It is not easy, especially when you are dealing with rust. I broke both bolts for the pulleys on the brake bracket, 11 out of 12 spindle mounting bolts, and all three blade mounting bolts. Dealing with the rust takes some patience. Thankfully, the deck on mine only had one tiny pinhole. I am still in the process of teaching myself to weld, so I am not ready for any major jobs yet.
0:18: "I need ro source an engine, a cutting deck and collector". Mate, at this point, just go down to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for something better to come along!😄 EDIT: Excellent video as usual, whether narrated or subtitled, the great end result is there👍🏼
So impressed you bring back to life classics that would otherwise be in the scrapyard. I am amazed you are able to source some of the parts. And, recreating the labels is the icing on the cake. Good Job
Well, that was quite the massive project! The red powder coat was awesome, along with all of the finishing touches. Loved hearing that engine - sounded really good. Great restoration!
The end product is basically an unboxing of a brand new machine, what more could you ask for!? Excellent, love bringing back machines that have years of useful life in them, instead of ending up in landfills or as materials used in building cheaply made inferior planned-obsolescence products.
Everything about this video is right. It's entertaining and informative. Great content, editing and camera angles. The before and after is nothing short of amazing. One message here is have the right tools for the task at hand and your job will be easier and time spent doing it shorter.
Excellent video and restoration. That tractor looked like it was ready for a date with the scrappers at first. It certainly looks and works showroom new now.
I'm really impressed with the quality of riding mowers in England. They look really well built. Some of the mowers here in the US look like they're pretty cheaply built. I know this is an older unit, but it still looks really well made. Great restoration.
Absolutely incredible restoration of a beautiful machine, very well done! Couldn’t find Hedgy during the video but it was fun looking for him, had to go back after reading the comments to see him, he’s pretty sneaky! Great video!
just fantastic job ! i have see many restoration on you tube but yours is always the best! all restoration must be doing whit the same serious work like this! (sorry for my english)
Great Job on that restoration, I sure hope you can get your moneys forth for it. This must have taken a lot of time and money to restore such a beautiful piece of machinery.
This is your BEST RESTORATION ever!! The entire restoration looks as good as being brand new. Did I see the Hedgehog? Heck no, I was to entralled with the quality and dedication of your work. I would be proud to have this setup in my front yard! Well done.
All I can is just amazing!! You never stop w(m)owing me. I wish I had the time to do a restoration on something like this or even smaller. You have an amazing talent!!! Thank you for all the sharing! Can't wait for the next one!!! God bless!!!
Beautiful restoration Daggerwin! I have several John Deere 214’s, a sears SS15, Wheelhorse c160 and c165, and a Cub Cadet 127 that I plan on restoring like that. I hope they turn out as good as yours did. Thanks for the videos! You do such a great job with them and your farm sim videos.
You absolutely amaze me. I’m working on my first restoration. A John Deere 112 from 1969. Has the hydraulic lift on it. I’ve only just started on the mower deck, but I’ve watched so many of your videos, I want to do it right.
You're the best of the best in my eyes, seriously nice work. I see the pride in every video. This machine looks perfect this is the best restoration yet! Much love from Washington state! (US)
Very nice restoration and having the broom really finished it off nicely. I much prefer it when you give the narration during your videos. I’m patiently waiting for part 2 of the Yamaha quad bike. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Although I prefer your narration during these episodes, the ASMR seemed proper in this case. This resurrection was nothing short of Herculean task. Every aspect of detail in the original design was respected, and re-implemented for the finished tractor. Well done!
Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this notification. Like a kid finding candy on the street. Pressed like immediately, commented and now watching 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I drive one of these every other weekend to do my nans garden, it's a great machine with a briggs and Stratton engine. Now I know how to take it apart for repairs! thanks 👍
Definitely like the narrated version best. No talking is cool too
Same. The silent ones always feel so cold to me. Narration is best! Add personality and connection.
Yeah, I don't like to read 😂
Same
@GWN_Garage
I understand completely. Some types of videos I like the silence also
@@lumpy1603 🤣
I spent my teenage years cutting the lawns at my dad's on exactly this model. A huge wave of nostalgia hit me with this one. Great job
I could watch the restoration videos all day long. It's beautiful.
Nothing so satisfying like seeing you put on the stickers on the Westwood 1200❤
Something deeply relaxing watching a person bringing a unloved machine back to life
The very best of UA-cam. A hugely competent gentleman doing a fantastic job with none of that American style shouty nonsense.Perfection
Yes,just very de-stressing to watch.
So agree man, thats what make tv whows about restoration and just generally good contently like this so rare, i just want information and to see someone skillful at work
As an American I completely agree
I find UA-cam videos like these so relaxing when there’s no talking or music just the natural sounds. But certainly enjoy all your videos too. Ty Ty

I don’t know how you remember where all the new parts go! You amaze me. Nice job. 😮
He watches the take down video.
This came out soo incredible! I have to admit, I was not understanding how the collector would be emptied but then you showed it off and what a brilliantly simple design! I love it, would use this machine for routine lawn care for many many years!
Unbelievably well executed restoration. The attention to detail that was put into it shows the love someone has for this machine.

She’s a thing of beauty. You did a fantastic job and I’m utterly shocked you’ve pumped out this content so quickly. Love your work.
That is an amazing job, and a really well made Garden Tractor
Love your videos keep up the good work you inspire me to restore tractors to.
Exemplary. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and share.
Amazing restoration.What a job you did.
AWESOME VIDEO. Im a farm kid from Illinois (now 61 years old) and have a real passion for old equipment od all kinds especially garden tractors.

Excellent restoration, well done
My parents have this same model mower still. It still runs to this day, give or take a set of blades. This is great, thx for sharing.
This kind of content should have millions of views. Amazing job .
Beside all work, I don't understand how this man is able to put back all screws in original location and not mix them. Great job!
Amazing restoration!! Well done sir 😀 its better than new
What a fantastic job you’ve done. That hour flew by!
You learn something new every day.Removing that needle bearing was amazing.Never seen that done before.Great repair.
I've never seen a belt twisted like that for the blades. Very nice job. Great detail.
Every time I watch one of your restorations I think it should be in a museum for future generations to enjoy.
Love watching this type of stuff, the skill dismantling then putting it back together making it look like new seeing it reborn again. is very satisfying.

Thanks again loving your dedication to restoration.
Simply incredible! Well done, Daggerwin!
That is a unique bagger system, or more of a grass collection system. Another lovely restoration. Love these kinds of videos. Thanks for all you do!
Your ability to source parts for the mowers and make new decals etc is truly impressive
Best video you have ever done and I have watched them all. The original gas can was an awesome touch!!!
The guy must have had good parents. Its nice seeing someone with this level of detail doing such a great job.
Definitely the most ambitious restore yet! Fantastic video sir!
New to your channel but enjoying your content immensely. A lovely restoration and a calming video to boot…

Each classic mower should be a museum piece
Had flashbacks of the Olive Orchard! Well done, fantastic retore!
I surely enjoyed it! It may not be a zero turn mower, but it's a brilliant beauty now!
That is by far the best restoration I’ve ever seen, awesome job. I wish I could get someone like you to fix up my mower.
Ugh when you hear that drill purr. It’s a channel icon to me!
0:18: "I need ro source an engine, a cutting deck and collector". Mate, at this point, just go down to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for something better to come along!😄
EDIT: Excellent video as usual, whether narrated or subtitled, the great end result is there👍🏼
Nicer than new,,Should be in a lawnmower museum,,
Daggerwin, you might just be a magician with work like that
You are most definitely the best I have seen. What you do is incredible. The attention to detail is like no other on here.
So impressed you bring back to life classics that would otherwise be in the scrapyard. I am amazed you are able to source some of the parts. And, recreating the labels is the icing on the cake. Good Job
Beautiful work on this mower. Great video. Great skill you have! Cheers to you!😁👍🔧🛠️
Well, that was quite the massive project! The red powder coat was awesome, along with all of the finishing touches. Loved hearing that engine - sounded really good. Great restoration!
10 out of 10 you did it again awesome job on that restoration you should teach a class on tractor restoration i would take your class in a heart beat
Excellent restoration 👍🇬🇧
Massive respect for the amount of work that must have gone into this! Fabulous resto. 👏🏼
Insanely good restoration, I hate to think the money that has been dropped on this.
Great job though, showing real skills
Excellent restoration. Attention to detail and craftsmanship.

I truly enjoyed the video style and the work done by someone that is perfection in every aspect well done.
Excellent video and restoration. That tractor looked like it was ready for a date with the scrappers at first. It certainly looks and works showroom new now.
When you started I thought the mower was not worth saving, you proved me wrong, it looks great.
I'm really impressed with the quality of riding mowers in England. They look really well built. Some of the mowers here in the US look like they're pretty cheaply built. I know this is an older unit, but it still looks really well made. Great restoration.

Sweeper was a surpsrise for sure. Very nice set and great restoration

Wow, this belongs in a museum! I think this is the best restorations to date. Thanks for sharing this outstanding video.
Best regards

Amazing restoration, you've become very professional in your work.
BEST RESTORATION EVER, AWESOME
All I can is just amazing!! You never stop w(m)owing me. I wish I had the time to do a restoration on something like this or even smaller. You have an amazing talent!!! Thank you for all the sharing! Can't wait for the next one!!! God bless!!!
It'd great to see how you can restore equipment to new and keeping it alive instead of it going to scrap. Love your channel!
Beautiful restoration Daggerwin! I have several John Deere 214’s, a sears SS15, Wheelhorse c160 and c165, and a Cub Cadet 127 that I plan on restoring like that. I hope they turn out as good as yours did. Thanks for the videos! You do such a great job with them and your farm sim videos.
What an awesome mower...nothing like it now and its 38 year old technology. Great restoration!!
Love watching these restorations!!!
Clunky design but your restoration (with those decals) make it SUPERB! Bravo for your fine detail and excellent craftsmanship!
You absolutely amaze me. I’m working on my first restoration. A John Deere 112 from 1969. Has the hydraulic lift on it. I’ve only just started on the mower deck, but I’ve watched so many of your videos, I want to do it right.
We had one of these, we upgraded it to the briggs v twin. Made it much quieter! And it didn't struggle in the longer grass. Good memories!
An incredible transformation! Well done indeed!
I’ve followed your vids for years!!! And just love how much attention to detail you do!
What impressed us most, when these came on the market, was the amount of shims used!
My granddad had a T1100. Good memories. Your partswasher ist cool.
Wow, You do amazing work on these restorations! I love watching your videos and I agree with others that the Narrated version is the best.
The whirr of power tools and the clink of hand tools, nothing else needed.😊
That has to be so fulfilling! I’m envious. I’d love to work on something like that.
You're the best of the best in my eyes, seriously nice work. I see the pride in every video. This machine looks perfect this is the best restoration yet! Much love from Washington state! (US)
It looks brand new wow. I like that catcher design too.
Makes me wanna restore one of my Lawn-Boys
Best machinery restorer on UA-cam!
Always love your videos. if im having trouble sleeping, i turn on a restoration video, and it helps me sleep. but your videos are awesome.
Absolutely remarkable talent !! You are gifted !
Nice restoration!
Love watching this guy at work amazing
Looks like she just came off the showroom floor,nice job as always!
Very nice restoration and having the broom really finished it off nicely. I much prefer it when you give the narration during your videos. I’m patiently waiting for part 2 of the Yamaha quad bike. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
This satisfies my ocd. Amazing craftsmanship.
Brilliant, how you turned a mower that most people would throw out for the scrap man back into a new working machine again.
I like narrated version better too. Lov his voice, plus i feel he explains more than just reading a statement. Great video as always brother dag. 👍
Although I prefer your narration during these episodes, the ASMR seemed proper in this case. This resurrection was nothing short of Herculean task. Every aspect of detail in the original design was respected, and re-implemented for the finished tractor. Well done!
