Good to hear it, Dakota. I don't know if it's an option for ya, but my introduction to small motors (aside from growing up in an extended family of boat owners/fishermen) was being in 4H and taking a course there in repairing small motors.
These motors were built by people who had suffered through World War II and didn't want to be left stranded anywhere. They're not only overbuilt, they can be run with the cowl open and a water hose aimed at the insides full blast, without a hiccup. Good work Mustie.
Mustie1.... you rock... I love watching you work... I have just resurrected an old European 350 two stroke from 1986, in storage for 25 years! just passed inspection and legal today - I used your techniques for initial evaluation: remove plug, look for spark, fuel in the cylinder and after three kicks, 2 second of smokey brilliance....first time since 1992.... you taught me that !!!! Thanks.
Good outboards, basically indestructible. I've had a few of these, sold them all off, last one was to leave was the fastwin 18 evenrude that my great uncle bought new in 1958. That's a nice one you have there, would bring in at least 4 bills here in MN.
Ohh, other comments 3 years ago.. Never mind, brill video, quite nice to see someone else struggle to get all things lined up when refitting that bottom end!! I'll be watching a few more. Reminded me of tarting up an old Crescent 35hp 20 years ago, very satisfying, great sense of achiement when everythings finished. Bob, UK
Over the last couple days I watched about a half dozen of your older vids, bout a year or older, and I enjoyed your interaction with the audience as if this was all a live show. But now watching some of your more recent vids I can see that developed even further. Makes things much more involving, I enjoy that one-on-one vibe and the personality you bring to us with your projects!
Mark the shift rod with touch up paint before you disconnect it, then you know exactly where to reconnect to. Take pics as you go along dismantling, saves having to find pdf's when you forget :) Great video :)
I can't believe how advanced the engineering is for the 1950's. My old man had a late 60's Johnson 40 horse which he used on the boats we had as a family in the 1970's, and looking at this series of videos really brings back memories, as a little kid I was fascinated by the Johnson motor on our boat. My old man work in the auto industry selling garage equipment and he used to race bikes too so I was mad about anything with an engine in it was I was a kid.
I used to own a 10hp Evinrude and I'm pretty sure it was a 1956, which I bought brand new. I had it for a couple years and it was one of the best outboards I ever owned. Luckily there were no problems requiring any extensive repairs, such as yours.
I have a 1962 Evinrude lark IV 40hp that drives a plywood runabout my grandfather uncle and dad built in about 1954. It has a very similar lower unit set up to this and ive had it apart many times. Additionally, the sound of that one running is fantastic. Thanks for sharing Mustie1
I did some research I have zero knowledge of vintage outboards and based off how much you have in into that little project it seems like you did pretty well. There seems to be a cult following with those vintage Evinrude Sportwin's and based off sold ebay listings you should be able to get around $500-600 without the gas tank. Personally if I was selling that outboard I would list it on ebay with something like within 100 mile local pickup or delivery because you would be lucky to get half what its worth selling it on Craigslist since only a vintage outboard enthusiast knows the true value of that outboard. Good luck and as always I appreciate your videos because you always make it feel like I am hanging out with you shooting the shit while you do your repairs. Always look forward to the next video especially based off the footage at the end.
Seeing this Evinrude outboard reminds me of a time a little boy went to visit his aunt & uncle at Cobbertts Pond in Windham N.H. My cousin has a similar motor on "his" boat. He would let me ride in it and boy I was on top of the world. Thank you for bring back those memories of a simpler time
wow,they just don't make stuff like they used to. It's awesome that replacement parts are still available, my dad's Ford 8n needed a starter button and solenoid - I was blown away at how many parts are available online. Thanks again for the inclusion Mustie
Very nice work and spits water like it's supposed to. Engine sounds smoooooth. Would like to see it pushing a boat around but know you need to sell it while it's summer.
mustie1, I thought that using threaded rod and putting an undercut in the end of the rod with a grinding wheel or angle grinder would have allowed you to "pull" the inserts out with less trauma to the metal. However as usual you did it your way and achieved the same result. I fully agree with other comments, your style and the way you tackle problems is an inspiration to the younger generation, anything to get kids into real tactile work and away from gaming consoles can only be good. Keep up the great work and can't wait till the next video.
Maybe you could laser thermometer the exhaust water, make sure it's hot (cooling the engine) This was another great series, can't wait to see it in real operation. Thank you so much, Mustie1.
probably take at least 10 minute run at full throttle to get that much heat into the engine. idling its questionable how much the temp rise would be on an idling engine,. just my thought.
I can't stop watching your videos, love the long format. It's so different from a lot of things on UA-cam where content is compressed as much as possible. Keep them coming!
Thanks Mustie! I just purchased a '59 Evinrude which is very similar to the one you repaired, so now I have a much better idea on how to change out the seals and impeller. I really appreciate the how-to videos very well done, keep up the good work!
Surprisingly, last I checked, Evinrude still makes the brass bushing to retain the shift shaft O-ring. Ended up just replacing the one I did, rather than messing with it. It was pretty out of round anyway. Interesting arrangement they have for the shift fork pivot pin on the 10 horse. The 7.5 I did has the pin screwed into the side of the case from the outside, and sealed with a fiber washer.
I had a 1956 Evinrude 15 hp outboard years ago and the lower unit was basically the same. The shaft did just float in the lower unit on it too with nothing to stop it from dropping too far. Once you have the proper impeller on it though, there was enough of the impeller drive pin to drive the impeller.
One of my favorite sounds of all time is, back when i was a kid in the '60's, the sound of our 30 HP "Big Twin'56 Evinrude wailing behind our '58 Penn Yann Lapstrake 15 footer on the Barnegat Bay, and that extra half inch near Wide Open Throttle where that little ferrule on the throttle linkage mega-opened the throttle plates Waaaa---OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I just replaced a water pump on a first gen 4 stroke Honda 10 hp mine needed spline shaft and water pump and seals I had PTSD when you put the lower unit to the power head got lucky and hit all three the first time it's a 1979 sailboat motor long shaft runs like a champ it's for sail 500 with tank hose and charger cord for battery
I hope you realize at 70 years old the waterfall thing makes me have to shut the video off and take a trip down the hall! Hey, I learned a lot about the old outboard engines in this series. Thanks for another great home repair lesson, Greg.
I found your Chanel from a Reddit post about a week ago. Holy Crap are your videos addicting! Thank you so much for these, they are very informative and a ton of fun to watch.
It was on /r/hondaCB/ It was of your resto of the CB350. I found it to be very informative, I was floored when I found you did one on the SL 125 as I have a CB125s that I've been sitting on for a couple years. You videos finally got me off my butt to work on it.
Virtually every Mustie video is excellent. If you are only into motorcycles, some of his from scratch bike builds might appeal to you. If you are a more all around gear head I'd suggest his 1959 VW Single Cab build... Hours of cool.
The one most depressing aspect of this video is that I remember what these outboards looked like when they were new, growing up in the Midwest. On a side note, years ago the Evinrude family owned an island in a lake - Lac Vieux Desert. It was a real hoot to watch the sea planes flying in and out too.
That motor sure runs good. I remember all the old motors like this one had the old "head shake" when it idled. I had way too much fun hanging with you Mustie, but I'll deal with it! :>) Thanks again for another great video.
Have been watching your videos for only a week now. Very addicting, I like how you talk to us like we are standing right next to you! I wish you a very long, active life, because I want to see more of these! Thank you Mustie1!!
There is an o-ring that needs to be on top of the driveshaft. Also, a bit of grease should be wiped on the splines. I see this video is 5 years old and someone probably already told you but I don't know. I love your videos tho! I watch them daily!!
I was a musical instrument repair technician and used a buffing machine for 40 years my concern is I have seen you use it and you need to hold the workpiece much closer to your body and move as one to avoid a broken wrist ,arm etc. O4 have the work piece fly up in your face ...n wear a face shield it saved my eye some years ago
I bought a '56 Johnson (same engine different color) new when I was an avid teen aged fisherman and ran it till some time in the seventies. It was then no longer cool to be fishing unless you had at least 150 hp on your boat. I sold it to some one to use on restricted hp lakes. It gave me no problems except I had to change the water pump out once. I think it is well work putting the time and money into repairing that engine. It should give someone another 50 years service if they take care of it and use the proper oil/gas mixture. Great little engines.
Thanks Mustie, enjoyed the memories relived. The aroma of two cycle on the river! Had an inherited JC Higgens 7HP for a while, Lord only knows how long that sat idle. My son and I tried to get it to run reliably. Never was successful.
Well, hey....yet another neat-o adventure in Mustie's shop! Makes me wonder just how many things get thrown away because the people who are willing to spend the time to fix/continue to use are becoming so few and far between. My 2005 garden tractor, 1979 snow thrower, and 1990 push mower continue to soldier on for the cost of a few parts here and there and my time....which comes pretty cheap!
Like you I seem to be constantly working on stuff I have no familiarity with. The worst thing for my part is anything containing solid state electronic components. When that stuff works it is fantastic but when it quits........
Man I wish you were my neighbor! Got lots if little projects like this on my bench that need more expertise than I possess. Good to see the wrist is healed!
One thing about these older motors, if it is marked 10 hp, it is 10 hp off the head. By the time it gets to the prop, it is only about 7 hp or a little lower. The old motors were rated off the power head and the new motors are rated at the prop. The 1956 Evinrude 15 hp I had was basically similar in power to the 9.9 hp motors they have now.
i can smell that old evinrude from here.....summer days gone by. this channel is the physical demonstration of the definition of mechanical quality that bob pirsig explored in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
I love watching your stuff and like your mind set how you look at something and work from your knowledge from the stuff you have worked on from the past. To work on what your working on i have learn new tricks and tips and i love how you make someone feel there right next to you ready to lend a hand on your vids lol. please keep doing what your doing anyone that complains you didn't do it the right way its not diy vids its we got lucky to see someone like you and get to see what toys you find and get to see you have fun working on them
One thing we have learned from producing UA-cam videos, is to talk to ourselves like we have an imaginary friend right there with us. Before the internet we would have been considered to be nut cases... I enjoy learning along with you on these videos.
I remember seeing some of these still in use in the 70s when I was a kid. I remember those knobs. Back then they would've been around 20 years old. Cool
drill 4 small shallow holes through seal and use a dent puller and pull toward center and heat it a little with heat gun or hair dryer real good and a little kroil and same on prop shaft or you can really screw up that aluminum.just tryin to help.good video.if you put a piece of tape on bit so u dont drill too far youll be good and sharp drill bit ,slow
Nice video. I have a 78 9.9 evenrude I just had to do alot of this to. It was not fun. Still have some issues with it but they are good little motors. Good work, love the videos!
I watched another video done on one of these outboards and got a good look at the pinion gear. It DOES have an inside snap ring to keep the shaft from dropping into the gear box.
Love the old 2 stroke outboards, I have a 1975 55 horse Chrysler outboard that still runs like new. Only work done on it so far is replaced both coils and spark plugs every few years.
Mustie, so I came to your channel cause of your older 4BT F250 swap then got totally ADD in your other videos, I just found an old 1948 Johnson 5hp in the garbage cant ID the water pump impellor or source 1. We got a lot of similar projects going on.. earned a sub so I can spend more downtime in my shop on the damn computer... Nice channel. Frog out.
I could be nit pickin, but the correct name for what your working on is a "lower unit", an "outdrive" is used to describe the drive unit on an I/O, or inboard/outboard assembly. Usually a car engine inboard, a drive unit outboard hanging off the back of the boat. I say usually a car engine inboard, because OMC i.e. Johnson/Evinrude used some v-4, 2 cycle outboard motors specifically designed to lay on their backs and run, as power units in the late 50's, early 60's if I remember right. Kinda collector items now, not a lot of them made, that survived.
that’s a very cool old evinrude. i ran across an old, small outboard tiller style, much like this one. I don’t know ANYTHING about it, other than what i could find on line... it’s a 1943 “Hiawatha” 3.5 HP, twin cylinder. my guess is it’s the “prelude” to the “Techumsi” motors.
You are making this quarantine so much better for me , Thanks ( PS I have a screwdriver and Hammer but will try anything now because of your videos ) YOU ARE KEEPING ME SANE pss.Don't watch SHARK TANK
realised how precarious it is fixing things thinking they might be broken but it might be just a bolt thats loose or something on the wrong way round or wrong part etc! cool thanks Mustie
hey. Just a little info for you. my uncle has worked on boat motors for almost 65 years. he said the play in the shaft is so it goes deeper into the the pumps bushing for better contact. just diy info. keep up the great work. and please give your dogs a treat for me. see you later.
Boy o boy those old two strokes are amazing I have a 2 hp and a three hp twin . They were made here in Ontario Canada back then and parts are still available. Smokey old things at 50/1 mix. But they keep the bugs away. 😅 Cheers.
When the end wouldn't pop into place.......you need some Three Stooges remarks.......like when Moe says......WHY YOU......I AUGHTA.......or....I'LL MAKE A DUMB BELL OUT OF YOU...........or just a plain ole Farnicastaff will also do.great vid Darrell...I was # 245 thumbs up from N W Indiana
I love these videos I'm only 12 and he's inspired me to start taking apart small Engines including chainsaws and it is just a blast thanks mustie
good to here it,
Way to go Dakota. Learning mechanics and how things work will stay with you for life.
Good to hear it, Dakota.
I don't know if it's an option for ya, but my introduction to small motors (aside from growing up in an extended family of boat owners/fishermen) was being in 4H and taking a course there in repairing small motors.
Same, I'm around that age and I've gotten into small engines as well.
Yes My Son is 7 and Does the Same also takes apart Computers and Fix's them too Crazy how Kids are today !!!
These motors were built by people who had suffered through World War II and didn't want to be left stranded anywhere. They're not only overbuilt, they can be run with the cowl open and a water hose aimed at the insides full blast, without a hiccup. Good work Mustie.

glad to here it worked out for you,
Great job.. So happy the shaft pin issue was explained. People really seemed perturbed by the pin riding on the pump plate..
Good outboards, basically indestructible. I've had a few of these, sold them all off, last one was to leave was the fastwin 18 evenrude that my great uncle bought new in 1958. That's a nice one you have there, would bring in at least 4 bills here in MN.
I am in Canada and find it amazing how easy it seems that you can buy repair kits etc for any stuff you try to repair. Up here we struggle.
Ohh, other comments 3 years ago.. Never mind, brill video, quite nice to see someone else struggle to get all things lined up when refitting that bottom end!! I'll be watching a few more. Reminded me of tarting up an old Crescent 35hp 20 years ago, very satisfying, great sense of achiement when everythings finished. Bob, UK

That looks like an engine I'd trust if I had to go venture out... Looks like a dependable workhorse!
I have a 1962 Evinrude lark IV 40hp that drives a plywood runabout my grandfather uncle and dad built in about 1954. It has a very similar lower unit set up to this and ive had it apart many times. Additionally, the sound of that one running is fantastic. Thanks for sharing Mustie1

I like the way you pick up a "throw away" and getting it to run like it was designed to. I love to hear these things run after being forgotten.
Great job as usual. Looks like that little Evinrude led a fresh water life. Enjoyed the show.
Very nice work and spits water like it's supposed to. Engine sounds smoooooth. Would like to see it pushing a boat around but know you need to sell it while it's summer.
Good job mustie
Really enjoy your videos
Just going out to start the old mercury in a bucket
Never let the shaft go in dry . ;-)
mustie1, I thought that using threaded rod and putting an undercut in the end of the rod with a grinding wheel or angle grinder would have allowed you to "pull" the inserts out with less trauma to the metal. However as usual you did it your way and achieved the same result. I fully agree with other comments, your style and the way you tackle problems is an inspiration to the younger generation, anything to get kids into real tactile work and away from gaming consoles can only be good.
Keep up the great work and can't wait till the next video.
Just popped over from the future, it was nice to see the old shop again, happy memories
Maybe you could laser thermometer the exhaust water, make sure it's hot (cooling the engine) This was another great series, can't wait to see it in real operation. Thank you so much, Mustie1.
probably take at least 10 minute run at full throttle to get that much heat into the engine. idling its questionable how much the temp rise would be on an idling engine,. just my thought.
One of the MOST helpful vids on these 50's outboards on here, very detailed.......GREAT stuff.
I can't stop watching your videos, love the long format. It's so different from a lot of things on UA-cam where content is compressed as much as possible. Keep them coming!

I just replaced a water pump on a first gen 4 stroke Honda 10 hp mine needed spline shaft and water pump and seals I had PTSD when you put the lower unit to the power head got lucky and hit all three the first time it's a 1979 sailboat motor long shaft runs like a champ it's for sail 500 with tank hose and charger cord for battery

im 64 and almost got stuck in middle of fishing trip
I found your Chanel from a Reddit post about a week ago. Holy Crap are your videos addicting! Thank you so much for these, they are very informative and a ton of fun to watch.
thanks, what was the post?
It was on /r/hondaCB/ It was of your resto of the CB350. I found it to be very informative, I was floored when I found you did one on the SL 125 as I have a CB125s that I've been sitting on for a couple years. You videos finally got me off my butt to work on it.
thanks and good luck with yours,
Virtually every Mustie video is excellent. If you are only into motorcycles, some of his from scratch bike builds might appeal to you. If you are a more all around gear head I'd suggest his 1959 VW Single Cab build... Hours of cool.
thanks for uploading informative DIY videos Mustie1 i am your avid viewer now..god bless you, keep uploading
At the end of the video when you ran the outboard I thought to myself I'm so glad I have my Yamaha 4 stroke!
The one most depressing aspect of this video is that I remember what these outboards looked like when they were new, growing up in the Midwest. On a side note, years ago the Evinrude family owned an island in a lake - Lac Vieux Desert. It was a real hoot to watch the sea planes flying in and out too.
You can bore a next hole above that hole for the impeller pin
Cool to see the old tried and trues put back into working order. Keep it up big guy.
That motor sure runs good. I remember all the old motors like this one had the old "head shake" when it idled. I had way too much fun hanging with you Mustie, but I'll deal with it! :>) Thanks again for another great video.
That orange handled screwdriver is a toolkit all on its own :)
I think the soft washer material name you might be searching for is mylar maybe? great video as always Mustie!
very good! now try to do some fishing. nice video,first time I see some work done in a motor for boat.
I really like you working on boat motors!
Have been watching your videos for only a week now. Very addicting, I like how you talk to us like we are standing right next to you! I wish you a very long, active life, because I want to see more of these! Thank you Mustie1!!

hope u r all ok thanks
Just amazing you can still get parts for this unit great video
awesome ..thanks for the incite..working on a 66 i bought the other day...hope i can find parts for it
I bought a '56 Johnson (same engine different color) new when I was an avid teen aged fisherman and ran it till some time in the seventies. It was then no longer cool to be fishing unless you had at least 150 hp on your boat. I sold it to some one to use on restricted hp lakes.

It should give someone another 50 years service if they take care of it and use the proper oil/gas mixture. Great little engines.
I hear the leaner oil mixtures are more due to improved oil than to improved engines, but not willing to gamble too much on that.
Thanks Mustie, enjoyed the memories relived. The aroma of two cycle on the river! Had an inherited JC Higgens 7HP for a while, Lord only knows how long that sat idle. My son and I tried to get it to run reliably. Never was successful.
That's a cool outboard! When they designed stuff to last!
Amen to that.
Well, hey....yet another neat-o adventure in Mustie's shop! Makes me wonder just how many things get thrown away because the people who are willing to spend the time to fix/continue to use are becoming so few and far between. My 2005 garden tractor, 1979 snow thrower, and 1990 push mower continue to soldier on for the cost of a few parts here and there and my time....which comes pretty cheap!

Man I wish you were my neighbor! Got lots if little projects like this on my bench that need more expertise than I possess. Good to see the wrist is healed!
I love the older EVINRUDE fast twin and Johnson motors like that 👍🐟🎣 good for fishing.
The one in the video says sportwin
One thing about these older motors, if it is marked 10 hp, it is 10 hp off the head. By the time it gets to the prop, it is only about 7 hp or a little lower.

Nice series on the Evinrude. Your hillside is leaking someone left the water on. 💦😉
l took my finger out and thats what happened
Now she's pumping. Good job and nice video Mustie.
I love watching your stuff and like your mind set how you look at something and work from your knowledge from the stuff you have worked on from the past. To work on what your working on i have learn new tricks and tips and i love how you make someone feel there right next to you ready to lend a hand on your vids lol. please keep doing what your doing anyone that complains you didn't do it the right way its not diy vids its we got lucky to see someone like you and get to see what toys you find and get to see you have fun working on them
Another one saved . . . . nice work D . . . Rog
Excellent job. Now, put it on a boat! Put it on a boat!
One thing we have learned from producing UA-cam videos, is to talk to ourselves like we have an imaginary friend right there with us. Before the internet we would have been considered to be nut cases... I enjoy learning along with you on these videos.
Mustie1 is THE best to learn from. I'm .Nice and composed. Thanks Again
The back splash for your grinder is awesome!
Nice job Mr. Mustie. .... Good to see something else restored to usable condition for another 50 years :~)
Have owned several boats in the past and always wanted to know how the lower units work. Lots of “ahh ha” moments in this video. Thanks
Tech tip - A 1/4" 12 point socket set works great for turning taps. But that 1/4' extension did the trick too!
the teaser... looks like a 68 or 69 type 3 fast back. Love it..
cant wait for that vid...
I remember seeing some of these still in use in the 70s when I was a kid. I remember those knobs. Back then they would've been around 20 years old. Cool
Man..another morning with Mustie, gonna be a good day....
drill 4 small shallow holes through seal and use a dent puller and pull toward center and heat it a little with heat gun or hair dryer real good and a little kroil and same on prop shaft or you can really screw up that aluminum.just tryin to help.good video.if you put a piece of tape on bit so u dont drill too far youll be good and sharp drill bit ,slow
Nicely done! This is why it's so expensive to have outboards wrenched...
Liked the waterfall at the end.
If I was Frank Lloyd Wright, I'd want to build a house on top of it!
Anther success very cool water falls at the end cheers :)
Good to see the Wrist is recovered.
You are too good to fix anything... Well done
Never even touched a boat motor before, great to learn a little about how they operate.
No more wrist band keep up the good work
Nice video. I have a 78 9.9 evenrude I just had to do alot of this to. It was not fun. Still have some issues with it but they are good little motors. Good work, love the videos!
Nice job Mustie. If you give it a quick polish , you'll add over $100 to the value. cheers.
I watched another video done on one of these outboards and got a good look at the pinion gear. It DOES have an inside snap ring to keep the shaft from dropping into the gear box.
Love the old 2 stroke outboards, I have a 1975 55 horse Chrysler outboard that still runs like new. Only work done on it so far is replaced both coils and spark plugs every few years.
You got it running PERFECT , Thumbs up Darrin !
Mustie, so I came to your channel cause of your older 4BT F250 swap then got totally ADD in your other videos, I just found an old 1948 Johnson 5hp in the garbage cant ID the water pump impellor or source 1. We got a lot of similar projects going on.. earned a sub so I can spend more downtime in my shop on the damn computer... Nice channel. Frog out.
Superb it lives to see another 50 yrs well done
That's in fairly good shape for a 56. Great video, thanks.
I could be nit pickin, but the correct name for what your working on is a "lower unit", an "outdrive" is used to describe the drive unit on an I/O, or inboard/outboard assembly. Usually a car engine inboard, a drive unit outboard hanging off the back of the boat. I say usually a car engine inboard, because OMC i.e. Johnson/Evinrude used some v-4, 2 cycle outboard motors specifically designed to lay on their backs and run, as power units in the late 50's, early 60's if I remember right. Kinda collector items now, not a lot of them made, that survived.
Awesome! I enjoyed this outboard series. I love the antiques.
Nice job bringing it back to life. Should serve the new owners well.
that’s a very cool old evinrude. i ran across an old, small outboard tiller style, much like this one. I don’t know ANYTHING about it, other than what i could find on line... it’s a 1943 “Hiawatha” 3.5 HP, twin cylinder. my guess is it’s the “prelude” to the “Techumsi” motors.
You are making this quarantine so much better for me , Thanks ( PS I have a screwdriver and Hammer but will try anything now because of your videos ) YOU ARE KEEPING ME SANE pss.Don't watch SHARK TANK
Looks like a pain in the Brass, nice job
So satisfying when you fix something broken,,,, well done ✅
realised how precarious it is fixing things thinking they might be broken but it might be just a bolt thats loose or something on the wrong way round or wrong part etc! cool thanks Mustie
hey. Just a little info for you. my uncle has worked on boat motors for almost 65 years. he said the play in the shaft is so it goes deeper into the the pumps bushing for better contact. just diy info. keep up the great work. and please give your dogs a treat for me. see you later.
All you need now is a period correct skiff for a summer of fun. :)
Boy o boy those old two strokes are amazing I have a 2 hp and a three hp twin . They were made here in Ontario Canada back then and parts are still available. Smokey old things at 50/1 mix. But they keep the bugs away. 😅 Cheers.
love watching your videos here in the UK, wish i had a garage like yours puts my shed to shame LOL keep the videos coming
Well done Mate, better than new!! This one was a tricky lil' bastid eh!!☺
When the end wouldn't pop into place.......you need some Three Stooges remarks.......like when Moe says......WHY YOU......I AUGHTA.......or....I'LL MAKE A DUMB BELL OUT OF YOU...........or just a plain ole Farnicastaff will also do.great vid Darrell...I was # 245 thumbs up from N W Indiana
Another good job and beautiful waterfall
while checking out the hoard, I began to think, if Mustie doesn't have it, you don't need it!
