I am Ruth, made my husband and I smile a little, your boys put sand and stuff in the gas tank, they were using their imagination, they do what they see you do. You showed some grace and mercy we all need that time
I really enjoyed watching this video. So many people wouldn't even take the time to repair old equipment and just go out an by new. Such an amazing skill and gift you have!
I have to admit that I dont know one end of a motor to the other, it baffles me how they work tbh. saying that , I admire anyone who does understand . hence the thumbs up i gave you Sam.lol
Nice easy fix , quick strip and clean up . Job done earth off and , water wouldn't have helped any . Keep up the good work . Run another earth lead to the engine block Sam . Save you any future grief . One to block , one to the frame . Sorted .
I'm going to assume you've done this before or at least something similar! I am amazed at how you just took that beat up, worn out part and gave it life again! My husband died in October and he was too weak to work on our riding mower before he died. He kept say he had to do it and I kept saying just show me how and I'll do the work. Just didn't happen. Now he's gone and I'm reading the book that came with it and wondering what the heck they are saying. Soooooo, I have repair envy going on at this point and am in awe with the many talents you have. Don't know your age, but as you get older you will be able to do EVERYTHING! God bless you and the family. I watch every video so keep them coming!
Thank you for the kind words! I've had the engine off before, yes. And worked on this thing a lot over the years, too. It's always been in some state of broken it seems! LOL I am sorry to hear about your husband. UA-cam is a great resource for learning things though!
Right on Sam. Took me back (a few short years) . I can't begin to tell y'all how it warms my heart to see young folk doing the same things we did. I know how tough those starter gennys are and I knew it was going to work as long as the windings were good. We hooked one up to an old vehicle fan and made a wind powered generator outta one. Old isn't useless...at least in machinery. God bless I enjoyed rooting y'all on.
Great job!! You remind me so much of my husband! He spends all of his spare time fixing mowers, boat motor and recently an old mini bike and a 4- wheeler for the grandkids and great grandkids to play on.
I have to say you are one quiet man ,If they were my kids they would NEVER touch any machinery that wasn't theirs EVER again .i amazed you got it going i hope there no sand in the sump.keep safe.
I had a good fussing session at them off camera, trust me. They got the point. ;) It's also just payback to me from when I was a kid... I did terrible things to my dad's tools and stuff I'm sure. Thankfully they didn't mess with the oil dipstick. I checked it before cranking and it was untouched and looked as it should.
Man this brings back bad memories Lol . I recall me and my brother thought it would be a great joke on dad to put rocks in his mowers gas tank. Unfortunately dad agreed and laughed the whole time he was whipping our tails. LOL We found less humorous pranks after that LOL
Brilliant work thanks for the content and amazing job on the starter and the engine sounds good 👍 and hope you manage to get it driving again. Stay safe and stay well
It's not so much that the starter is tough rather than it's just basically a simple device. It's a field coil and a rotating armature, and that's more or less it. Cleaning it, even a basic cleaning such as you gave I was enough to get all the grit and sand (and water that was shorting it out), out of it, and it works.
Well...you folks take such good care of all your things. But perhaps showing some love and putting that poor tractor in a dry place for the winter would have been a good call as well. Love you guys....glad you are so talented to be able to fix things.
Good job.....I literally clapped out loud when it started! Seriously you can fix anything....still a work in progress! You will get it running soon enough and looking forward to your next video!💚
Wooooooohooooooooooo Right on! So glad you had the tenacity and patience to do that and clean the starter up.......Bravo! Thank gosh the brushes weren't that worn at all either it didn't seem like. Are the boys banned from going near the machines..........LOL I could share like stories thru the years of our old equipment but I won't bore you but lordy lordy we've had some doozies as well. Glad you like to tinker and have a good knowledge of things. So glad for you and I am thinking you'll get that machine on it's wheels/legs/feet.......whatever LOL and get it to working! Loved that Angela enjoys working and assisting with things as well! Blessings and stay healthy!
Yes, we were thrilled! Elijah for sure learned the lesson and will abide by the rules. Isaac on the other hand... he's a firecracker and we don't have hope yet. LOL We can only trust one taddles on the other quickly. LOL
"It's not supposed to look like it came out of the rear end of a cow"!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! After watching all the way to the end I can't wait for the next one. Great job on fixing that starter! Why won't the clutch fully engage????? Hurry and figure that out! lol
about installing the brushes it might work if you cut the top and bottom of a can cut it down the liddle to make a roll and slip that over the ancor after installing the brushes to keep them in place with sliding the rotor in , once in pull the piece of can out from between the brushes and ancor , might make instaling a little eazier it might help to seal up the starter generator some with liquid gasket around the front and back seam and around the posts before assembling it
Woo Hoo !!!! Round of applause 👏!!!!!!! More investigating ahead, but I have full confidence in you, Sam ! I’d wager a bet, tho that the boys aren’t allowed to even LOOK CROSS EYED 😵 at it any time in the near or distant future 😱😳🙏🤣 Awesome 😎 Job !
Nice, good watch, worth the time, Like 526, view 3319, comment 130, stay inside/home, be safe, kiss those kids and wife, take care till next time, Later
I also tried to fix my starter for the lawn mower.. everything looked fine inside. but, it wouldn't work.. I've read they "just go bad"... lol!! lucky for me, a new one was only 23.00... :)
Love me some JB Weld. I have one of those wrenches, I use it a ton too. You have a great deal of patience. Great job. So how did the water sneak in, in the first place?
Thanks 👍 And that's the question of the day! There are some small holes from the factory in it, but I wonder if they had help via two boys and a watering can... Either way, I'm blocking up the holes after it runs a bit to heat up and evaporate any moisture out of it.
Good video. I save tractors on utube sells rebuild kits. He tests them by touching starter lug with 12 volt power and then while it is spinning touches the field lug and it should slow down.
That was good. My concern is the boys. I hope you have talked to them about how important it is to leave things like that alone, not a toy. But maybe in your household kids are allowed to do their own thing, just concerned, my boys would have been told the danger. Thanks for another good video.
Maybe if he tells them they have to work off the damage they caused or that any $ they get will be going to buy new parts n his wage to fix it they will see things a dif. way..and a butt whoopin too think they will leave it alone then maybe.
Love that you are so able to fix anything but fyi please do these oily projects in a five gallon bucket. Hate to think youre fouling your water table with runoff from gasoline and brake fluid.
I know I'm late replying to this video but I knew the Starter Generator was going to work! I do have a question though, was the clutch linkage out of adjustment? The next video is you plowing the garden and I never found out what the deal was with it. I enjoy the videos and I guess it's because I can relate. I am a tinkerer and can fix just about anything. I'm not getting any younger so that does limit me. I enjoy making things out of pallet wood but have always been intrigued with a lot of the wood turning videos. Thanks for the entertainment! Teach those boys all you can, it's becoming a lost art.
The issue is a broken teaser spring on the clutch assembly. I was able to adjust it to get more life out of it and limp along, but it really needs to be pulled apart and re-built. Maybe this winter? I have the parts, just need the time now. LOL :)
You're right! The rear most pin was broken and only just biting a tiny bit. Later (in other videos I've put up with the tractor) I found out the teaser spring on the clutch is broken. New parts are here, just need to find the time to tear it apart and redo. Been limping along in the meantime to get the work done to see me through.
Yay!! I knew it would start! The hubs rewound the armature and replaced the brushes on my old front-loading washer, installed it and away she went! Say, you don't think something got inverted when the clutch was reinstalled, do ya? I don't know, I can tell ya how much gas we'll need in the car to drive for a week but I know nothing about clutches. Zero. I'm gonna ask my daughter to watch the clutch video she could tell us. I enjoyed watching this video too. LIfe on the homestead...it's one thing after another.
Nice job! Are those breather holes in the starter cover or should they be sealed up with silicone to prevent future water damage? Good luck with the rest of the repair.
TheSaks40 breather holes if you do Thisbe those it will get really hot and could potentially explode the problem is this tractor is open to wheather elements and it should be kept in a nice dry storage area
You should use electric parts cleaner inside the case. You dont want to break down the varnish on the field coil wires. Probably thousands of feet of thin wire wound around the core that has to keep from shorting out by relying on the thin varnish coating. that brake cleaner might deteriorate the varnish.
When you were cleaning that with the wire brush I thought, it's going to work, then when it did, I was like, yeah! My question is, what were the boys instructions as to how they treat your farm machines in the future?
It was one of the aftermarket ones from online. The only place I knew were the holes in the top of it, which I was told were there so it could vent? It's not given me issues since then, thankfully!
Dear tractor gods - please be kind to Sam and his son's they did not mean to full the fuel tank and exhaust with sand and Sam promises to build a pallet lean to shed this summer so you don't sit outside for another winter as it is not good for your old boy body - he also promises to be realistic with the loads he makes you carry and not pretend that you are a big tractor and make you drag things heavier than your are - Ah Men

I'm 73 and balance isn't that good, but I'm gonna give my mower a try soon! A person has to do what they have to do, right? God bless!@@sam-and-angela
I like your wrench. I was grinning ear to ear when it started. Drive train now...you're rebuilding the whole thing! LOL!
You have to store machinery under a shelter for long life. Good video.
You sir are a mad scientist mad respect brother good job I wouldn’t have thought that bad boy was gonna turn over
Great. 1964 was a very good year!
Good job Sam persistence does pay, your awesome and you will get it.
Good job buddy! One Foot In Front of the other before you know it you'll have it popping wheelies LOL!
Fingers crossed!
Right on Sam. Took me back (a few short years) . I can't begin to tell y'all how it warms my heart to see young folk doing the same things we did.

Thanks James! Oh that's a genius idea with a wind generator!!
How intense and satisfying all in one little video😉😂🤗 thank you and WELL DONE , 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
Thanks so much! 😊
Perseverance pays off 👍🎅🏻
Great job!! You remind me so much of my husband! He spends all of his spare time fixing mowers, boat motor and recently an old mini bike and a 4- wheeler for the grandkids and great grandkids to play on.
YAYYYYY! Brilliant sooo happy it worked for you & really well done for not giving up!!! YAYYYYYYYYY
Thank you so much!!
I really enjoyed this video.I admire your "can do" attitude.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My friend did you did some magic there?? lol 😀. Wow can't believe that it work.
We were surprised too!! Thanks for the soap order today, too!
Mom loves those soaps! Really a great soaps!!!
They knew how to make things back then!! 😁
Nice work.
Like a surgeon. Very impressive.
Great job
Good Job
that was pretty cool
Your hardwork is obvious nice job getting it to work.
Wow Sam. That was amazing, well done.
I told you it was a easy fix........ nice vid man!
Pretty cool Sam.
If you try sometimes you get results. It’s best to try.
I have to say you are one quiet man ,If they were my kids they would NEVER touch any machinery that wasn't theirs EVER again .i amazed you got it going i hope there no sand in the sump.keep safe.
I had a good fussing session at them off camera, trust me. They got the point. ;) It's also just payback to me from when I was a kid... I did terrible things to my dad's tools and stuff I'm sure. Thankfully they didn't mess with the oil dipstick. I checked it before cranking and it was untouched and looked as it should.
Yay.... great job Sam. 👍
I like how the boys are watching to see if they broke it 🤣
😁
I knew it would work
Nice video and good work fixing it
Thanks 👍
Man this brings back bad memories Lol . I recall me and my brother thought it would be a great joke on dad to put rocks in his mowers gas tank. Unfortunately dad agreed and laughed the whole time he was whipping our tails. LOL We found less humorous pranks after that LOL
😂😂😂
Awesomeness Awesome job man good work
You knowledge and skill are impressive.
Congrats!!
I am so deeply impressed!!
Wow. Great Job!!! 👏👏👏👏. I was watching and thinking no way that works. Mad respect in my book. Love your video. You guys do great!!!

Hey Sam, good job. It must be a good feeling to bring something back to life and save money at the same time! Take care and God Bless.
Absolutely!
Can't believe how much water got inside that unit wow,but hey its running now lol👍😆...
Me either! I’ll be sealing up the top holes for sure now. Though it may have been helped too... boys like to water stuff... 😬
You, sir, are a boss
nice to see old but very useable equipment still in use especially as its got all the tools still with it and why buy new when you got this??
Well...you folks take such good care of all your things. But perhaps showing some love and putting that poor tractor in a dry place for the winter would have been a good call as well. Love you guys....glad you are so talented to be able to fix things.
Good job.....I literally clapped out loud when it started! Seriously you can fix anything....still a work in progress! You will get it running soon enough and looking forward to your next video!💚
Thank you so much!!!
I ´m amazed to see it work lol, it is made tough!😂
Wooooooohooooooooooo Right on! So glad you had the tenacity and patience to do that and clean the starter up.......Bravo! Thank gosh the brushes weren't that worn at all either it didn't seem like.
Are the boys banned from going near the machines..........LOL

Victory !!!!! Excellent " lost cause" nope :)
Sam The Man! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
9:18 wow you have some patience I would be Aw screw this and run for the wire wheel! This was a cool video to watch!
Check roll pins at coupler on drive shaft. They like to shear .
You reminded me of my pop. He would take apart anything and somehow bring it back to life! p.s. WD-40 mmmmmMmmmMMMmmm
Praise the lord. You the man. Keeping fingers crossed there is more life left in Godzilla
Way to go man.
Thanks!
"It's not supposed to look like it came out of the rear end of a cow"!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I'm trying!! Hahaha Thanks!! 😂😎

What did the driveline problem turn out to be? We are anxious for the sequel!
Woo Hoo !!!!
Round of applause 👏!!!!!!!
More investigating ahead, but I have full confidence in you, Sam !
I’d wager a bet, tho that the boys aren’t allowed to even LOOK CROSS EYED 😵 at it any time in the near or distant future 😱😳🙏🤣
Awesome 😎 Job !
You got that right! We'll see how long it lasts though... kids. 😎
HELL YEAH!!!
It's alive....IT'S ALIVE!!!!! WTG.
Muaaahahahahahaaa!!!
Yeah! I can only imagine the conversation you had with your boys, ha!
😎

Could be? I've never had good luck with things until this go around. I probably used up all my luck at once. 😂😎
Green Acre Homestead hey! Even if it works for one more year it’s worth it!
👍 cool beans👏
Maybe those 2 munchkins somehow got water in it too. Lol. Jkjk. You'll get it to working eventually.
I suspect they had a hand at it, but didn't bother fussing (more) at them. :)
CEO of using a crescent wrench, then plugging a bone wrench
A 5 dollar tarp would save you lots of money.
Hi!!
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Just take it in steps. Don’t let it overwhelm you. 👍🏼

Cool, thanks
My,My dont know how that starter generator ever worked,, lol lol
Yea!!!!!!!!!!
Well grats on this part!!! I hope all goes well with the upcoming episode. Dem kids staying way back, wondering what they are thinking? 🤦♂️🤷♂️
That was good. My concern is the boys. I hope you have talked to them about how important it is to leave things like that alone, not a toy. But maybe in your household kids are allowed to do their own thing, just concerned, my boys would have been told the danger. Thanks for another good video.

It could be the Sheer pin at the back by the transmission
You're right! The rear most pin was broken and only just biting a tiny bit. Later (in other videos I've put up with the tractor) I found out the teaser spring on the clutch is broken.

I see your cub has a hydraulic pump. What is that used for ?
Was that an aftermarket piece, or was it original Delco Remy? Did you ever discover the source of water ingress?
It was one of the aftermarket ones from online. The only place I knew were the holes in the top of it, which I was told were there so it could vent? It's not given me issues since then, thankfully!
What size belt is that go from the starter to the crank shaft
If I remember right, it should cross to a 3/8 x 31.
Have you been watching Rescue & Restore?
Never heard of it.. sounds neat though!
Green Acre Homestead Really?! It’s a great watch.
Yeah ‼️‼️‼️‼️🥰
