      @@orangemultiplayer1453 Yes, forget older things. Sometimes making things fully replaceable by the customer is irresponsible and costly. Making modular at that point makes sense. Doing what Apple does and now all the others is down right profit mongering. Its not the engineering that derives the outcomes of todays products but the bankers, accountants, and CEO's who want to F over the population. Government doesn't care as long as the money keeps flowing through society. You have to realize that if its not worth fixing throw it away, if it is worth fixing then someone out there can.

    Wonderful demonstration of why this is such a great hobby!
    For people wondering about the belt flopping around, it doesn't matter if the belt stays on the crowned pulleys. For a gas engine that only fires once per revolution or once per 2 revolutions, the slack belt might help absorb the less frequent firing impulses. In the US, steam traction engine operators normally twist the belt to break its lateral stability. The belt rubbing against itself also damps out lateral wander. Of course these steam engines can run either direction, so reversal of rotation can be canceled out. On a gas engine, it might be necessary to turn the engine around. An alternative, turn one end of the belt inside out.

      There is no need for that. The blade is only 5mm (1/4" away from the base, and he stopped cutting about 50mm away from it. You need to be able to lift the log continuously, and apply pressure carefully to moderate the cut. The task is done by using your fingers and hands, and using the sense of touch.

Wouldn't it be a fairly simple solution to put a wooden hinged arm over the blade area that you can use as a lever to push the workpiece down? it might take some tinkering with the geometry to keep the log from turning or flying out, but if this beast is to be used for days (shingling a whole roof) it might be worth it.

    Love your videos those 2 stroke engines are like the McDonald ML back here in Australia. They are about 60 to 70hp semi diesels my mate has one interesting engines.

    Hello from small town Monett in Southwest Missouri USA. I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. I have gone back and watched almost every one of your videos. I love seeing your equipment and how it is different from what we have in America , other than the Massey Fergusson, it looks a lot like one my dad used to have. Very impressed with your skills, creativity and fearlessness in tearing down the old machines. Keep the content coming. Love you back. Eric.

    beautiful beautiful machine, my dream is that one day we'll start manufacturing engines and machines like that again, because it's technology that we've lost and if we're not careful, we'll never get it back again

    If you twist the belt by half a turn it will stop it from "slapping" about and run smoother. It won't matter which way the machine runs.

      Hi! This machine must run in this way. So that the knife plate is dragged downwards to the machine frame when the crank is pulling. But i could start the engine the other way and the x the belt. But a belt can swing around. Sometimes that also helps the friction because the weight of the belt is swinging. /Richard

      @@YesterdaysMachinery I agree with Peter: x the belt. Here in the US midwest we have threshing demonstrations with steam or gas or diesel, and I've never seen one with the belt not crossed. The problem is that a jumping belt could jump off a pulley and get thrown, causing damage or injury. Volunteer bundle loaders would get yelled at or even kicked out if they put too many grain shocks into the thresher sideways. they should go in seeds-first. The sideways bundle would be harder for the thresher knives to cut and the stress would cause the belt to jump. The old-timers would tell stories of men getting killed by a thrown belt and got very upset when the belt started jumping. .

    Nice work with making piston rings that actually seal, Richard! I imagine it will get easier to start after you run it for a while and get them seated in. Any idea what the approximate compression ratio is on that engine? It doesn't seem to have a lot of compression for a hot bulb semi-diesel.😉
