That's a lovely old engine and just how I like to find them. I've had to cut engines out of trees before now and managed to save them without breaking a single part.
Thank you for keeping these engines running. It’s history that should not be forgotten. I spent 17 years in the Navy as an engineman and what you do does deserve a medal. I got retired early for medical reasons. Stay safe and God bless.
Nice save! Glad you were able to rescue this one and make it run again. I love the old iron and it would break my heart to scrap an engine capable of running again.
I love old technology, we wouldnt be where we are today without it, watching you save and get these old timers running again is so satisfying. I am looking forward to the magneto video, and the progress on this old girl, all the best big fella from the UK.
Very nice! I love listening to those engines run. Its a comforting sound to me. On the farm when I was a boy, I could here one on the pump jack running 24/7. It produced all the natural gas to power the irrigation motors and lots more. So long as it was cared for, it ran and was very rarely shut off. We kept parts on hand for repairs and it was never down for long. It ran on the natural gas so it didnt carbon up. It was perfect for that application.
Was not expecting to see somewhat modern-looking two-piece insert journal bearings. Very cool. You can certainly tell it was designed and manufactured in an era when diy maintenance was the norm. A dream to work on even after a century!
I’ll say when I work in my own shop on my antique engines and equipment it sounds very much like this video does, and most times it’s relaxing to just wrench on something and not explain every detail. Really in my honest opinion if their watching for education and they have a question or concern they WILL ask you. People that just watching for entertainment aren’t here to learn anything. You do good work sir, and I enjoy it
Excellent job in getting the engine running again! Now... you have to disassemble it completely, clean and polish everything, sandblast, steam clean, paint all the outside, measure everything with the right tolerances, and reassemble, and will look and work like a brand-new engine! keep up the good work! Don't forget to do the same thing for the 4-wheeled cart!
Thank you for making this old engine run again, a most enjoyable video. It makes a change to see somone repairing stuff rather than just throwing it away.
I am very impressed. We had one just exactly like this one - and in the same degree of neglect. Where I grew up had been an old farm and this was just sitting out in the woods. My father brought it in to tinker with it. He called it: "a one-lunger," but he didn't want to put in the amount of work that you did here. This was over 60 years ago, so it wasn't old enough then to be an "antique," but not new enough to be worth saving, so it sat outside until I left for college in 1971. What happened to it after that I have no idea. So, it was great to see this one actually working! Thanks!
I wonder about who taught this guy the proper way to use hand tools. Using a crescent wrench (backwards) instead of a box end wrench. I couldn’t get a good look at his knuckles, probably doesn’t have any left. I’m sorry but, I was taught the proper use of tools and watching his work ethic grates a little.
I love watching videos like this. No useless talking or music in the background. It's very distracting n gets on my nerves. The sound of your tools is music enough. Nice job.
@Cast_Iron_Curiosities I don't mind a bit of talking, but some videos have too much talking. I just want to watch what the video is about. Thanks, mate.
But the downside to sped up and silent is that unless you know what is going on you don't actually learn anything about what the old ones knew and worked with. And the knowledge is lost when the last one dies and it does not get passed down to those who come after.
We used a 3 hp version on a truck frame with steel decks to cut firewood for 20 yrs or so. Belt driven; that is where I learned to make / repair drive belts.
Holy Moly what a beautiful sound. Old fellow in town here in Vermont had one of these. He ran his cider mill with it. On a crisp fall evening it brought the town alive. Thank you !
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided not to narrate without it. I have that back now, and future videos will be narrated. Thank you for your input!
I serviced Johnson& Evinrude outboard motors for some thirty years. I am now 83 years old and in a wheelchair. I love watching someone getting his hands dirty, thanks.
I’m amazed you needed to replace so few parts and am greatly impressed you machined a part or two. I don’t believe we are better off when these old engines can go a hundred years. Some ran on several types of fuel that were oil based. Anyway, good job and thank you for omitting the chatter.
Mate, some of your tools are positively ancient. That lathe is best of all it's so beautiful, and the drill press is second only to the lathe and that old pressure thingy works so well without the aid of pneumatics. It's lovely to see a guy who respects old machines in use and fixing, but can also combine modern tools as well. A great restoration video using some tools themselves restored. It was very pleasant watching you restore this old engine back to use, using some tools not far removed from the engine itself. A really great restoration video using some wonderful old tools. Cute doggy to.
@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities Your a butcher !first video i watched you were using a pipe wrench on a connecting rod this one begins with you removing head nuts with a crescent wrench pathetic buy some tools .
What a beautiful sound! Music to the ears! That you were able to find an engine that intact was a feat in itself! Not how they are usually found. Ready for the fine adjustments and as close to period painting as possible.
I grew up in an oil field town, listening to these engines at night. Later I worked on engines just like this, only the flywheel was about six feet in diameter. They ran on well head gas from a copper tube from the well head, and were started with your foot and arms. Take the spark plug out and squirt a little gasoline in and they would start up easily. The only reason they were shut off was to work on the well.
Nice save. A couple of years ago they had a couple of fully restored hit-and-miss farm engines running at a Labor Day weekend festival at the old Seale, Alabama courthouse.
I used to take mine to shows. One fella told me to put coffee grounds into cheese cloth, 1/2 a cup, in the water tank and it'll drive people nuts wanting to know where the coffee pot was. The best part was after the show I drained the tank and it was clean as you could want. Good video, I'll be watching.
Brilliant. Reminds me of getting a 1924 Lister going in 1978 with my Dad. I turned some Caterpillar valve guides down to suit, they had the right bore size. Lots of solid rust in the water jacket took ages to clean out. Internally the engine was in good nick. It had been on a Stothert and Pitt (Bath, England) concrete mixer. Loved 35.24 on where Doggo seems very interested in the crank polish up. Our Staffy usually supervises my projects. God bless. Dave New Zealand. 🙂
You have to just love an old Johnny Popper. One of these things on a farm transformed that owner into an "Uptown Farmer". Pumping water, grinding grain, and I even saw one stepped down to power an early washing machine. Talk about impressing your wife at the time. Nice job! Love the channel!
Re-bored one of these that we used for water pumping many years; Cracked water jacket needed welding and used a CAT cylinder sleeve to do so. That Press needs sandblasting and re-painting. lol Journal sanding-- a slotted spool with a loop of sanding tape with a drill set on low will do a fast and slick job; just do NOT put a lot of pressure !!
It's silly but all those "Antiques" are still Relevant today. They all can still do the work they were intended to do. I watch many skilled people in India that still have the skills. I love watching this old machine rebuilt.
Like many others I had an issue with your use of an adjustable wrench on other videos, but after watching this you really know your stuff and I trust you know what you are doing. I apologize for being so shallow, and look forward to learn your knowledge
2nd comment. Had friend up in Missouri who bought an old farm. Had an old barn on it that was fair but in need of repairs to be usable. While going through it he found an old engine like this that was supposed to be 15 - 20 HP. He love old engines and after a while he had time to tinker with it. 6 months later he got it started and at a surplus sale he found a generator in need of some repairs. Bout a year later he had them hooked up and that winter it was a life saver. Power out due to storms and he had the two mated together and was able to power his entire home with it. Mixture of old and new with some home engineering not pretty but it worked.
one of your most enjoyable videos, not that I don't like the soind of your voice but you have such expressive hand gestures conveying thoughts and its great to concentrate on a capable pair of hands doing what they do best. Well done.
It runs. Top Marks. Great to see another wonderful old engine restored to running order. These were all great labor saving devices in their day. Hope the Bosch Mag can be rescued. it is not improbable that Bosch still have spares for that. Bet you can buy new points if you shop Europe. Yes def Subscribe 👍🏼
Glad to see there are still people that rebuild the old engines. I have one that is similar in size maybe a little smaller but haven't begun to do anything with it yet. Given their size the horsepower ratings always seemed low. My grandfather had one with five foot flywheels. I don't ever remember it running. Keep up the good work.
Super job.👍💫 Fuel consumption should be very good and torque insane. Not too loud either. Would be a great base for a diy emergency bugout powergenerator. Now that you know all the ins and outs of it, you can get it always to work somehow with no need for buying expensive spareparts and with simple homemade bushings and tweeks. Good investment😉👍 Greetings from Tasmania ☀️
Really good strip and repair , 25.20 its hard to believe that a small mouse lived in there . For your birthday try and get a copper hammer and a fixed wire buff .I believe that this rusty machine will turn into something to behold when your finished .
Something about the smooth power. I’ve always had in my mind that these would be great for running an electric power generator to help charge a battery bank for off grid. The modern generator noise I find really offensive even if efficiency is way up. Having something like this in a power house off in the back would become part of the background noise, especially if it was in the right location and had some sound baffling. When I was a kid, similar engine were used in many “trap boats”. There were less than 40’ long, wide heavy wooden boats. Work boats used for around the harbour or inshore fishing and transportation. You can never forget the sound of these boats steadily thumping along.
Its a real testament to old engineering, no built in obsolescence, thay were made by companies that had real pride in their work and faith in their abilities
I don't know what it is about these old engines that peak my interest. I think it has something to do with they are so different from the way I'm used to seeing an engine engineered and I'm amazed at how old they are and that the they still work. I'm also amazed at how basic they are and robust they are. It's like if you take care of them they'll run a life time. Makes me wonder what other types of fuel they'd run on. I wonder if they could be made to run on wood gas, propane or even natural gas. If they could run on wood gas, holy cow you could run these for almost for free. Thanks for sharing. Loved the video bud. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided to not narrate without it. I have that back now and future videos will be narrated. Thank you for your input!
I’m sure I could pull it apart, clean it, but then ,getting it back together again, not a hope, that is what I admire in guys like you, keep up the good works 🍷🍷👍👍👍👍👍
Born on a farm in 1941 had this type of motor everywhere. Potato riddle, stack elevator, root vegetable chopper, down the field under an old stack sheet pumping water. Eventually driving a generator where the lights dimmed between firing strokes and the early tv picture changed size. Wish we had kept some.
put a peice wood or rag in the cylinder head keeps the valves from pushing in when you push the spring down to remove keeper. Love these old motor projects. So neat to hear them run.
Love seeing these old workhorses brought back to life, nice job. Do you know who or where it was built or what it was used for? Thumbs up for any video that includes a dog...in fact it should be in YTs terms and conditions that every video includes a dog.😊
I enjoyed this video! I valve seen several engines like this at fairs in South Dakota back about 50 - 60 years ago. The last one I saw running was at my amateur university back in late 70's - early 80's. You saved a piece of Amreicana from a long ago!
Great job, I like the way it looks now, like a well used surviver, that runs like new again. The painted-up "dandies" look good too. However your engine has a dignity that only comes with time and hard work...I say, keep as it is.
Just found your channel - some awesome content subscribed straight away - have to work my way through your videos now 😃cheers from Tasmania and keep em coming 👍🇦🇺
Danged ole country boy. Dove went and fixed that one lunger wid a toof-pick a pair o tweezers a can o anger-farmer spray an a tad bit o elbow grease! You go boy! Where ever did ya find then parts at. That was a pretty good trick in itself! All BS aside, do you know why Barbie doll didn’t have no kids? Because Ken came in a different box! Thank you for sharing my friend, from one country boy to another.
50 yrs ago I ran this great machine that powered sheep shearing rigs, running 4 stations and we sheared thousands of sheep. this machine never gave us a bit of trouble.
There is no way anyone could resurrect a modern engine that was 100 years old with simple hand tools. Efficient? Nah. But they can be made to run. Great channel. New subscriber.
With you all the way on your restore. Being from Pantydwr I remember similar engines on local farms. I serviced Lister Startomatics, slightly more modern, than yours and diesel of course and I was very young then. Great video ta.
🎉 Absolutely awesome. The workings of old school vs what we are use to today. Basically same technology. Great job on the rebuild. Not sure where you found rings...😅
I have a 1917 three horse throttle governed Fairbanks that I run at shows and club meets and it never has ran completely smooth. It will run twenty or thirty minutes then will drop a few RPM and after a couple of minutes pick it up again . Never have been able to figure it out . Thanks for the video and will be looking forward to future ones 😉 !
Great video but should have soaked the bore with penetrating oil or diesel for a couple of days...Sledgehammering out the piston was brutal! Oh, and get a decent set of tools eh?
I used to start a smaller one of those for a neighbor when I was on my way to school. It filled a stock tank with a pumpjack. That was when I walked the mile plus to school. I filled the water reservoir, put in as much gas as I guessed it would need and went on my way across his section.

Each hit or miss engine has it's own rhythm, I like to listen to the patterns.
My kids called them hiccup motors they said it sound like they had hiccups.
This isn’t a hit miss engine.
@@Jay-fb2lv And what is it? I´d also say it´s hit and miss.
@@lukasgayer5393 its throttle governed, the governor connects to the carburettor rather than a latch.
@@official_meelees it's DEFFO hit n miss. thing is: the fool doing the rebuild hasn't realised it yet
Well done. Old engines like this were almost hand built and the knowledge to rebuild them is important. Better still, put them to use again.
I'm sure glad you are saving the old iron. Good job young man.
Thank you!
Great video i can learn a lot off this type off video's. Thank you so muts.
Greetings Martin from the Netherlands
I really like that you didn't paint it all up with pinstripes etc.
Thank you!
I. Just love these engines they are unique and sound wonderful keep up the job you do 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I enjoyed this video! I valve seen several engines like this at fairs in South Dakota back about 50 - 60 years ago. The last one I saw running was at my amateur university back in late 70's - early 80's. You saved a piece of Amreicana from a long ago!
Thank you for saving it's life. 😄
At 68 years I've got some worn out parts too. 😹
Great job, I like the way it looks now, like a well used surviver, that runs like new again. The painted-up "dandies" look good too. However your engine has a dignity that only comes with time and hard work...I say, keep as it is.
Just found your channel - some awesome content subscribed straight away - have to work my way through your videos now 😃cheers from Tasmania and keep em coming 👍🇦🇺
At 35:00 the boss inspect your project. The comment is "Good job!" Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland
Thank you!
Old rusty engine brought back to life, then put on an old rusty cart! Perfection!! Even got to hear it run. Even better!
I can't believe you got that to run!
I would love to see this engine with the rust completely removed and an era appropriate paint job applied.
Danged ole country boy. Dove went and fixed that one lunger wid a toof-pick a pair o tweezers a can o anger-farmer spray an a tad bit o elbow grease! You go boy!
Where ever did ya find then parts at. That was a pretty good trick in itself!
All BS aside, do you know why Barbie doll didn’t have no kids?
Because Ken came in a different box!
Thank you for sharing my friend, from one country boy to another.
awsome work sir.thank you for saving the ole boy.
love the old engines.fool with them myself
Wonderful to watch thank you for sharing.
Great restoration on this old engine. You did a masterful job.
*Just amazing that you can makes it run again.*
Wow the Old Girl Runs Again!
50 yrs ago I ran this great machine that powered sheep shearing rigs, running 4 stations and we sheared thousands of sheep. this machine never gave us a bit of trouble.
There is no way anyone could resurrect a modern engine that was 100 years old with simple hand tools. Efficient? Nah. But they can be made to run. Great channel. New subscriber.
With you all the way on your restore. Being from Pantydwr I remember similar engines on local farms. I serviced Lister Startomatics, slightly more modern, than yours and diesel of course and I was very young then. Great video ta.
fantastic , thank you for restoring this old pice of mechanic. M.S. from germany 😊
🎉 Absolutely awesome. The workings of old school vs what we are use to today. Basically same technology. Great job on the rebuild. Not sure where you found rings...😅
I have a 1917 three horse throttle governed Fairbanks that I run at shows and club meets and it never has ran completely smooth. It will run twenty or thirty minutes then will drop a few RPM and after a couple of minutes pick it up again . Never have been able to figure it out . Thanks for the video and will be looking forward to future ones 😉 !
Thank you!
Fryed again ?
Well done fella a nice job well done!. Auld Tam in Ayr.. a nice clear viseo too...
Excellent ... good to see you didn't 'bling' it up with new paint.
Very Cool ! You brought it back to life ! Thanks for sharing this experience.
Great video but should have soaked the bore with penetrating oil or diesel for a couple of days...Sledgehammering out the piston was brutal! Oh, and get a decent set of tools eh?
hammer, bent screwdriver, two adjustable spanners and an ill-fitting ring spanner is all a bleurk needs
Excellent. So interesting. And not spoilt by rubbish music.
Very cool video! I love going to thresher shows just to see the old engines running. Glad you save this one!
I used to start a smaller one of those for a neighbor when I was on my way to school. It filled a stock tank with a pumpjack. That was when I walked the mile plus to school. I filled the water reservoir, put in as much gas as I guessed it would need and went on my way across his section.
Nice find,,who would scrap a 100yr old engine?
The guy that try’s to start it .
