Congratulations and that is a wonderful video series that takes us on the journey you had with this engine. I appreciate you bringing us along with you. You are a fantastic mechanic, restorer, videographer and great friend. Well Done! See you in about a week.
Thanks for taking the time to make this series! It's a great reference. I am restoring a 6hp M from 1919. My dad traded a load of scrap for it in the early 70s and now at 35 I'm finally going to make it run.
Fun series to watch, you did an amazing and beautiful restoration! I would never have believed that tiny little led could effect the voltage that much to keep it from firing! Great job to all the people involved!
Tip I don't know if you have one but I have a little mechanic handbook and by looking at those bolts and if they're The Originals you may be able to determine what they are and in doing so you can get the torque value if you're skilled enough to know how to read the top of the pole orbit stamp on the nut
I sure wish Wayne came to Grand Rapids, Mi to get my 1 1/2hp[ M running. I think I have a problem is in the governor because the disc is worn thin as is the fork that rides along side of it. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Cheers, Jim
This makes me want to get off my arse and restore my 1909 McCormick deering 1 1/2 HP motor, im an old guy without too much fat, and a young wife, so i should be ok. Thanks for the inspiration, PS I did see an errant cable tie on your ht lead, better remove that before its marked, don't want to lose points.
Great job. Your understanding of the ignition system was incorrect. It is a high voltage ignition system and the low 180ohm resistance of the LED across the spark gap was effectively shorting it out.
Hello again from the uk can I ask you a question excuse my ignorance but why is it some people have international harvester company and others have McCormick deering on there engine. Regards mark
Short answer: The International Harvester Company marketed its products under different "brands" through the years. Deering was one of those brands. Around 1902, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company, along with several smaller agricultural equipment firms were merged to create the International Harvester Company.
Ah! The smell (really!) of sweet success! I was wondering if the startup might go as it did in the first clip in this video: ua-cam.com/video/c3pxVqfBdp0/v-deo.html See you Oct. 1!
The final assembly and startup was a blast. Thanks for letting me help with it! Great work on the final video. Your pal, Hardy!🤣

Good deal!!!! Thanks for the kind comment!
A very faithful restoration right down to the original fuel tank, a great job very well and expertly done, thank you from Ireland.
I just watched the whole series. Fantastic! I’m very impressed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun series to watch, you did an amazing and beautiful restoration! I would never have believed that tiny little led could effect the voltage that much to keep it from firing! Great job to all the people involved!
Two accomplished radio/TV engineers are humbled that we (obviously) didn't think of it either!!!!!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Jay, some tremendous work on your end!!!
Many Wally! Sure will miss having you this weekend!
Nice to see and hear it running Jay. Well done.
Thanks Mark! Wayne and I moved it into the engine shed today! Will have a video out shortly (after Guy's Weekend which started today)!
What a great series. Watched every video. Thanks for taking the time to go into such great detail on the restoration. You did a fantastic job!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comments!
Thanks Jay. Real inspiration for my 1 1/2 hp project.
This series was awesome to watch. I was so excited to see it finally run, well done!
We had a blast! Moved it out to the engine shed today. Will have a video up on that AND the starter stick soon!

Hi I have watched you restore this from the beginning can I ask were did you buy your reproduction badge plate thank you
The McCormick-Deering "decals" came from Flywheel Supply. The reproduction aluminum "timing plate" or "badge plate" came from Hitandmiss2 on eBay.
Thank you 👍👍👍
