Dear Machinery Restorer, thank you for providing us with such high-quality clip of old machinery restoration. The way you shoot these processes is clear and comforting to watch. Yes, I am using the word "comforting." On a Sunday morning, I sit in front of the computer with a cup of coffee and watch the master--namely you--at work, and that feeling is comforting. You bring an old machine back to life and give it new meaning to serve again. Thank you very much.
I dont know how or why, but I have oddly enough become addicted to restoration videos even though they make me extremely jealous of all these people with great garages and tools I wish I had lol
I know I’m commenting on an older video but my dude, I say this with all the love in my heart, I am never bored watching this kind of thing, I like your process and the videos, but I have discovered that watching these after I get off my night shift really helps relax me to the point that I don’t even realize my eyes have closed and it follows me into a half awake state and then I’m waking up 4-5 hours later and it’s glorious- i don’t get a full 8 but I get something and I’m not anxious. Thank you so much for sharing this.
At first I was like why restore it, it isnt that old then I realized 1980 was 29 years ago. :-) edit: nope still wrong *39 years ago* damn doesnt seem that long ago.
Congratulations, you now have the best museum-quality $39 Montgomery Wards tiller ever sold. In a great market at the right auction that could bring perhaps $200.
I never would have figured that watching someone overhaul a garden tiller would be interesting. However, I think what makes this interesting for me, is the way that it was edited. You showed constant progress all the way through, without spending too much time on one particular part or aspect. Quality production keeps my interest. Well done lad!
I admire your dedication to making that old machine run like new. I'm stunned the difference. It looked like a complete basket case at the start, but it looks beautiful now. It was so satisfying to hear that little motor run again. Awesome job!
Built in 1980... and going by the looks of it immediately thrown in the Atlantic ocean where it sat ever since. Awesome work! I can't get enough of videos like this, there's something particularly satisfying about seeing something "irreparable" getting restored, 99.999% of everyone else would have immediately junked it as scrap metal!
@@gus6rocks makes sense that it could be the reason, but IMO it would be better to leave a constructive comment rather than a thumbs down. His ability to restore equipment is already far superior to the average person, I can't see how one oversight deserves 140+ thumbs down. I'd like to see any of those people try and attempt this :)
gus6rocks - You wouldn’t just go and replace the piston rings due to visible signs of wear. First - you need a reason such as evidence of poor compression or a smokey engine but this is a 3hp garden tiller that doesn’t even turn over to start, so no evidence it has either of those issues. Second, in an old engine the rings, pistons, bores have all worn together, so you could end up making a good engine bad swapping parts out like that and ending up with the issue you were trying to fix that didn’t exist before but now does. The best thing to do in this engine is exactly what he did - get it cleaned up, run it, test it and if there are any running issues deal with them then. A quick run clearly demonstrated it was working fine and no such serious expensive mechanical fixes were needed aside from a strip, and a good clean, with only bearings and seals/gaskets needed. That’s how I would have done it too, and as Martin Murphy said it didn’t deserve a thumbs down not for any reason in my opinion. These machinery and tool restoration videos do such a fabulous job of encouraging others to dig in and see how things work, and really help look after our history. Upside down sticker - now it’s one of a kind. LOL.
gus6rocks - I know you gave one reason mate, you may be right in why someone gave a thumbs down, but you are WRONG in what you say, it is NOT BAD PRACTICE to re use old piston rings. It’s not like changing your brake fluid, brake pads, engine oil, coolant, or any other wearable part or consumable item that’s always to the benefit of the engine, if you just go and change piston rings you could be doing more harm than good, to a perfectly working engine. It would be best practice to change the rings, and pistons and rebore/hone the cylinders yes together, but BAD to change the rings alone. If you don’t understand that you don’t understand engines at all. And as he showed in the end result, engine ran fine. Sorry dude but you’re wrong
Excellent job on an old piece. Always like to see things be restored rather than scrapped. And do such a thorough job as to rebuild the engine rather than repower. Enjoyed the video keep it up.
Because it's not actually rusted, its a method where you basically put it in fire, if left to rust without this method it would've gotten into the threading and made it alot harder, its something along the lines of rapid oxidation from the combustion of a material, meaning its just fast rusting
Sometimes it can be quite satisfying to watch some of these restoration channels they make something that almost looks as if it's gone too far lost to time and nature yet they managed to turn back the clock and make it beautiful again from Cars to desk fans lawn mowers and in this case a tiller
Приятно смотреть как старая, сломанная и уже много лет ни кому не нужная вещь попала в руки мастера, которому это по душе, подарил вторую жизнью Интересное видео! Молодец!
Decal is fine! I'd leave as a sign the machine was brought back from the dead and it now has a new direction in this world. Binged watched a few of your offerings and I've got to say, you do fantastic work! Thanks for sharing!!!
I have to say: This video was very nice to watch. Just do the work with a little description. No annoying music and no talking aaaaall the time. Thanks.
Tillers are VERY useful in hard soil. But you do not race it like in the video, you go very slowly. The tiller angle adjusts the depth and speed. Press handle down and it will dig in, lift handle up and it advances.
You seriously did an amazing job. I like your thought process and editing skills more than some others that do everything at once. You completely finish one piece at a time
Looks as if it worked perfectly the last time it was used and was just left there untouched outside for years. These videos are so interesting. We are grateful that you are passing on your experiences and skills via this channel .
worked at an aerospace machine shop for years, and learned my lesson a few times with the ultra- sonic cleaner (industrial sized)...let a couple parts in over a weekend, running...non-existent by monday, lol
Nice save. You need to make a drag bar behind the tiller so you don't have to fight holding on to it. Set correctly, your hands should just be resting on the handles.. let the drag bar hold the tiller back, not you.
481 people disliked the video for absolutely no reason!!?? GREAT video man! Goes to show ya with a lil bit of work and a few new parts, you can rebuild most things!
The fact that there is no talk and weird accent (like in many other home/diy/tips/etc videos) makes watching this so immersive! Also very good editing, always keeping us interested with not too long or too short cuts, and also you are knowledgeable in the mechanics of things as well, some restoration videos are all about aesthetics only, but now I'm watching a skilled person
I was not remotely surprised when I saw this had c. 7,000,000 views. Im not mechanically minded but was fascinated to watch this restoration. Beautifully filmed in a way that made sense at every step. All the more impressive and interesting because of the absence of a voiceover. The images and progress did not need explaining. Thank you.
Those Briggs engines are great, just got an old 80s Briggs powered tiller to run after sitting for over 10 years. Going to use it then restore it and sell it on
Come on give him a break about the decal... Yeah I noticed it also, but man oh man I’m shocked you brought it back to Life.!!! congratulations!!! Good work.
Amazing restoration... from junk, to a nice looking piece that is useful again! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! Keep up the good work!

That was a fantastic restoration, one of the best. I like the editing but I do prefer your narration over the video. Looks like you have lots of new shiny equipment too, polishing wheel, ultrasonic bath and a sandblasting booth. Nice work. More, more, more!
Wonderful restoration. I really liked the editing on this one. I’d watch these over and over. That clear sticker though!!!! That’ll be a easy fix... great job!!
I don't understand why anybody would give us thumbs down on your videos I find them to be very helpful and informative and I can honestly say you did a great job on this restoration also It was a pleasure to watch
After taking of the first 5 pieces I would not know how to put them back again. :) That's why I like old machines. Solid build, repairable on single item level not like today's junk machines with all the nonfunctional electronics.
The sand blasting texture almost makes the finished paint look like hammer tone. cool effect! Very cool old tiller. I'm not at all surprised that replacement parts were available for a good old 3hp Briggs.
Hi everyone. Just to say I am aware of the 3hp decal being upside down. I am hoping to turn it around.
👌
great job daggerwin I mentioned machinery restorer in your live stream
Just wondering if you slapped your forehead like I do when I do this kind of stuff??!! :-)
No, it's a learning experience
It's your point of view, pay no attention to us. Thanks for a great rebuld.

I was born in 1980, your work is a wonderful. Hello from Russia.
Amazing restoration, a pleasure to watch.
Being a small engine tech myself for 30 years...since I was about 13...Great Job!
I kinda work with gokarts and small engines as a hobby.
I don't know why I feel satisfied when watching this kind of restoration video especially no inferior background music & voice-over.
Engine rusty and from the 80’s spark plug still comes out... meanwhile at ford
I know exactly what you speak of. Got a kick outta that one.
Yeah no joke.. that #3 plug

never understood tillers.. Tears it all up we follow behind and crush it all down with out feet trying not to get chopped up in the midst
I actually drag mine backwards for that very reason.

You did an amazing job on that, I tried to restore the exact same model as that but I couldn’t get parts for it, so great job
I was wondering where he found some of those gaskets for a tiller from the 80s
Fantastic bit of editing there must have taken you ages and top work on the tiller she looks great.
Shiny!
Yup
I picked up a tiller off the side of the road, no small effort, and it looked like an archaeological excavation. Thanks for this detailed breakdown!
Good Restoration Done 👌
Thumbs up 👍
👏 👏
I've watched several restores from this guy and he always does and outstanding job ... keep up the GREAT work!
theres one reason why you got it running
*you cant kill briggs and straton engines*
itll run forever if you maintain it well
You dont even really gotta maintain them that well. Change the spark plug every now and then and they'll keep on truckin
That unit needs a drag stake like our 1961 Sears tiller...makes tilling a lot easier.
He's supposed to remove the wheels but leave the support bracket on this then leaves two drag stakes or depth gauges as they are called in the uk
This was a joy to watch. I think I blinked less than a handful of times. Gorgeous work. It must be so much fun to work on these machines.
A joy to see a great old machine purr once again.
I dread to think how long this must have taken, good video and good skills
Probably a week.

Beautiful work
me at the end of the video after watching 23 minutes of cleaning: "noooo, you're getting it dirty!"
Lol
yea same im like whyy
excellent job! I believe you're missing the spud which would replace the wheels with a drag rod to make it easier to use. Works this way too though!
Wonderful restoration. I really liked the editing on this one. I’d watch these over and over. That clear sticker though!!!! That’ll be a easy fix... great job!!
