@@HandToolRescue as any and every time we watching your vids, mate! Love the humor. You remind me of my best friend, which is not with us anymore. Even my kids love to watch HTR!
Can we all appreciate all the work that didn’t make the edit? All those fasteners and small parts must’ve taken hours behind the scenes and don’t go unnoticed.
You have a knack for finding tools that look like they may have single handedly been the inspiration for numerous consumer safety regulations being passed. You are brave to use them. I love it!
I was once complaining to an old plumber about the steel pipes I had in my house. He gave me the best advice I’ve ever received. Always start by tightening the pipe a little before loosening it.
.....im not sure if you're being sarcastic..(dang internet) But if not, I'm going to start using this method....unfortunately....with mechanics (and especially old and rusted parts) if you over tighten something that was over tightened to begin with...your risk breaking it off. What a double edged sword....
You don't really have to visibly move it, if it is already quite thigt. But let me tell you if you have some sort of feeling for what a part can handle, you won't break stuff, that wouldnd have broken either ways. Yust doing this or change the direction a few times is definitely a livesaver of a trick.
@@mUnky889 I learned that by fixing cars and in fixing free stall loops at the dairy. Things get rusty, and your happy just to have it move a bit in any direction. Gets difficult to turn, and you just go back a bit. Use oil, but the heat from friction even helps.
Easily the best restoration channel on UA-cam - humour, actual siezed parts, and no disassembly with surgeons tweezers and magic - the subtitles were great 😂
I work on clockwork mechanisms as a hobby and I feel like an absolute tool every time I place a wheel or a bridge with tweezers, even though that's actually the best way to do it, given the size of the parts. Those people have ruined tweezers for me.
I watch Nekkid Watchmaker, and he uses tweezers to lift bridges and springs and tiny screws etc, probably similar for yourself, and granted, I may have been exaggerating for effect, but I was watching someone disassemble a giant doorbell the other day, in surgical gloves and lift oversized screws and nuts with tweezers - all a bit unnecessary - our man here has oil in his fingerprints and makes fun of falling for a lefty tighty curve ball - the awful smiling freeze frame on the intro, a good thud as his head lands on the sand blasting cabinet (how many people need to use a cabinet at the same time by the way 🤔 where is that from?). Great viewing every time 😀👍
We don’t get a lot of these videos because it’s obvious that they take a lot of time to produce. I have never missed a restoration video on Hand Tool Rescue. Always excellent.
I've been watching this channel for a while, and I'd never imagined myself doing this sort of thing. But now because of my job, I'm seeing literal tons of great quality old tools get recycled every week. I've started grabbing and setting aside things I know I could fix. So far mostly 70's power tools that just need a new cord or new brushes. Figure I'll clean and refurbish them as best I'm able, and throw them up on eBay if nothing else. Honestly, I just like how old tools look, and I'll probably collect a lot of them.
Do it, do not put it on a back burner, DO IT! You will get the odd scumbag that will steal the items, but mostly you'll be selling to good people that love older tools. Good luck Sir/Ma'am.
I agree with you about old tools. I've bought some very high quality used stuff on ebay. This channel also inspired me to restore my grandpa's wilton vise (had to watch several other videos to make sure I was doing it a good service)
Yes! At first I thought...'Ohhh hes gone to the cutoff wheel for this one.' '...aaand this one...' / 'Oh no...Eric no...Reverse threa.....awww nevermind'
I'm a self proclaimed "Small Engine Nut" The craftsmanship and engineering in these old motors are so fascinating. Recently rebuilt a 1949 Evinrude "Speedifour" outboard. Opposed 4 cylinder, 33.5 hp! I think you'd really enjoy some of the 40s and earlier outboards, before cowlings came into style. All the bits and bobs are out in the open, exposed flywheel, and myriad knobs and levers on the front.
It really feels like this one had it in for you; everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong! Thanks for the thoroughly entertaining videos Mr. Hand Tool!
I feel like Eric is the one that actually needs the rescuing on this restoration lmao. Good job though. Your channel is the reason I can do half the restoration stuff I know how to do now. Thanks for the content!
I've been tasking engines and carbs etc. apart since I was about 8 years old. Sometimes got them back together too, without a camera to record what I had done. I am now 80 yo, and in all these years I don't think I have ever seen a more complicated machine. No matter what part of it you attack, it has more parts than anything I've yet seen. Wow! Those guys really had some imagination. You've improved on that and brought it back to life as a work of mechanical art. SO WELL DONE...of course. That's a piece any collector would envy.
To me, this is one of my favorite restorations I've seen you perform. You took a100 year old behemoth monster completely apart and rebuilt it to last another 100 years were it in steady use.
The brazing work on the cog @32:04 actually made my day. Call me old fashioned, but that was blissful. A perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine and a cigarette at the end of a long day.
This one really makes me appreciate what you do to entertain us on youtube. There were so many times in this video where if I had been doing it I would have walked away and trashed it but you just power through. Great video!
I like that you don't sand, file, polish, grind, and body fill every bit of character and originality out of most of your restoration projects except in the most rare of cases. These are truly restorations.
I love when someone else knows what they are talking about when it comes to lifting heavy thing, you also need to do your best to keep your legs out of it entirely.
I once restored an old rototiller, very old, and I had many of the same problems you encountered. You did a wonderful job on that old, old engine and applaud you. Great work.
The reverse thread killed me! 😂😂 Also at first when you put those gears back on and didn't match the indexing marks I had a minor panic attack, thank you for noticing that. I absolutely love your channel and humor! Keep up the great videos!🔥🔥
You are by far and away the best restoration video maker other there. Thank you so much for bringing these wonderful items back to life. Please keep doing what you do so well. My very best to you and yours.
I have watched this channel for a long time and really like it. I appreciate everything you do by getting these really old tools looking and working new again. But it’s just a shame that so many people on UA-cam rip your concept off they are doing the same exact thing and it’s identical to what you do, but it’s OK. I consider you the OG.
That mower was sent from heaven to teach you about your new self and to let go of your old self 😂❤ Your pain saves thousands of us from vast amounts of pain and suffering… and your lessons are well headed, eg painting on rust.
What a heartbreaker to see that those gears were threaded on. I don't know how you could have known that. This machine must have been fabulously expensive in the 1920's.
I will always be in awe of someone who can take an engine apart, put it back together and... get it started again. Sincere congratulations ! (Google traduction, I am french 🤪)
One of your best. What a machine made when men were men and lawnmowers were built up to a standard. I still run a vintage UK built ATCO!. Hope to see it in action on the next episode. Best wishes from the UK and thank you for posting.
Simply amazing 1933 reel mower my first ever seeing one. I got lost on the points yet everything seems straight forward. Always enjoy your content and humor keep up the fantastic work.. 👍🏼👍🏼
Who’d a thunk they’d of reached out 104 years to put the screws to ya by threading that sprocket and gear onto the shafts. I guess screws and shafts come with the territory when you’re restoring antique machinery. Love your channel. Your work is amazing!!👍👍
I haven’t commented on any videos yet, but to the maker, you are the best at rebuilding and adding noises to film edits. Thanks, that’s what we like to hear. And good job, all of your restored items are great. I appreciate the detail and paint and the maple syrup humor.
It's practically rot proof at this point from all the oils and grease soaked into it. I bet he could set it outside and his great grandchildren would still find it sturdy.
Gosh i love this channel! I really enjoy the opening credits, it never fails to give me a chuckle. I really enjoy your humor and the fun you seem to have editing this vids. I also love the real work you do on these projects, nothing fake here.
I didn't realize this was a "Part 1 of ?" until the video ended abruptly and I re-read the title - I was expecting to end with grass getting cut. Silly me for not noticing that's it's just the engine component restoration in this one.
It is so amazing how something as complicated as this lawm mower , could have ever been designed to work. Great job at restoring it. You have a part of history and a work of art. Hope to see part 2 ?
That was AMAZING!!! (as always :D ) - You do SUCH GOOD WORK!!! And I just don't know how you're able to keep track of all the parts, or know how these strange things work, or what the best replacement part should be without using modern materials (as in replacing the float and still using cork, but coating it it with a gasoline resistant material... I would have just put on a modern float lol) - You are ONE OF A KIND and I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! (I just wish I wasn't unemployed and strapped for cash because those wrenches are SWEET!!!) THANK YOU for the AWESOME Video, and I CANNOT WAIT to see the work on the Mower Body!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
If you read the subtitles starting where he's machining the cork, you'll discover that he also ended up using a modern foamed plastic material to remake the float, because the gasoline resistant material wasn't.
I've followed your advice and have been lifting with my back, using a twisting motion. I'm pleased to report that I no longer have any pain or sensation in my feet! and lower extremities! I am also incontinent now, but it's only my wife that cares about that. Thank you for your invaluable advice!
I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter.

I'm from a poor background and my parents have struggled all there life. I wish to give them a happy life with all the strength I've got in me and this is what I have been looking for. I prayed yesterday that God should help me conquer this hard life with great connection and this is a sign that my prayers have been answered. Praise master Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love all your videos, you turn all these old forgotten gems into.... well Gems. I agree with the other commenters that say this is the best restoration channel on UA-cam. I wish you had more time to create more content. I know its a lot of hard work, and a lot of it we don't see but it must be a labor of love because you do it so well. Your videos are very satisfying with just the right amount of humor✌
You're getting pretty good at these cranky old engines. Nice work! As always, the clanks, grunts, bangs, and occasional outburst are the perfect soundtrack. Can't wait for the rest of this beast.
I don't know why I'm not getting notifications but just laid in bed (UK time) and see this... Told the wife I'm off downstairs to watch you restore a mower. Peek old man vibes... Love it
Muito impressionante a engenharia desse motor, nunca vi nada parecido aqui no Brasil, parabéns pelo belo trabalho de restauração e pelo vídeo incrível.
Espero con ansias la segunda parte de esta restauración, como siempre es todo un placer ver tu trabajo y una motivación para este administrador. Saludos desde México.
If the thing being restored didn't put up a fight in the disassembly process, this wouldn't be a Hand Tool Rescue video. Engine restore was nicely done. 👍
This is by far, I mean MILES, the best opening to a video! Every time I watch this channel, it makes me laugh. It's straight out of my childhood sitcoms of the early 80's good.
My goodness, this was like a decent into mechanical hell. Its an incredible feat of determination to overcome the akward engineering of this frankenstein design. A bit inspiring. i appreciate your efforts.
I've been watching this channel for a little while now while I'm at work for the background noise and good moments it has. I am only just now realizing there have been closed captions on these videos that add backstory and unspoken commentary. I will now be going back to re-watch videos for this very reason.
Dear Mr. Rescue: I have appreciated your videos for some time now and I wish to thank you for all the fun and shenanigans we have had along the way. Have a nice day, -Scott
Sitting in the dark. Having in the middle of the night because of my hurting back. Then I saw your back message. Ahh, my problem has always been bending my knees, keeping my back straight. 😮 😊

This is the first engine I've ever restored that has depression and truly hates all its original parts. Also, subtitles surprise!
Have really enjoyed following this on I and G with the mini updates. Thanks!
This restoration seems to be extremely time consuming. I got anxious just by watching the recap...
Me too engine, me too
Do you think it didn’t like you touching it?
Loving your videos. Just wondering how long it took from disassembly to Prozac perfection
I think I speak on behalf of all the folks here when I say: "Yes, Eric, we have enjoyed watching this restoration". Thanks for posting, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Probably run better without that carb heater choking it.

I was surprised he didn't go that way. Even if it wasn't, sometimes a good wrenching tighter can help remove stuck parts. Works for me a lot.

Wow! A multiplayer sandblasting cabinet!
A veritable threesome of suffering
Coop! 🤘
It's a poorly kept secret that HTR hosts sandblasting threesomes on the weekends.
Why sandblast alone when you can sandblast with a friend?
It's for giants too. (or is HTR a minion?)

I'm from a poor background and my parents have struggled all there life. I wish to give them a happy life with all the strength I've got in me and this is what I have been looking for. I prayed yesterday that God should help me conquer this hard life with great connection and this is a sign that my prayers have been answered. Praise master Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Equivalent of $7000 in the late 1920's! But you got it to start in 2024.... WORTH IT!!!!
I love all your videos, you turn all these old forgotten gems into.... well Gems. I agree with the other commenters that say this is the best restoration channel on UA-cam. I wish you had more time to create more content. I know its a lot of hard work, and a lot of it we don't see but it must be a labor of love because you do it so well. Your videos are very satisfying with just the right amount of humor✌
Absolutely an amazing testimony to your determination to make things right. This is a true museum piece! Can't wait for more.
You're getting pretty good at these cranky old engines. Nice work! As always, the clanks, grunts, bangs, and occasional outburst are the perfect soundtrack.
Can't wait for the rest of this beast.
I don't know why I'm not getting notifications but just laid in bed (UK time) and see this... Told the wife I'm off downstairs to watch you restore a mower. Peek old man vibes... Love it
It's beautiful and yes, it was incredibly entertaining watching it get there. Thank you Eric, for another awesome restoration!
Hope you had a good summer... love the work you do, and your sense of humour.
Muito impressionante a engenharia desse motor, nunca vi nada parecido aqui no Brasil, parabéns pelo belo trabalho de restauração e pelo vídeo incrível.
Incredible ! I can't waint to see it in the mower.
Seems like a very complex machine for its time. Awesome restoration. Thank you!
Espero con ansias la segunda parte de esta restauración, como siempre es todo un placer ver tu trabajo y una motivación para este administrador.
Saludos desde México.
If the thing being restored didn't put up a fight in the disassembly process, this wouldn't be a Hand Tool Rescue video. Engine restore was nicely done. 👍
The most complicated rebuild yet. Impressive!
You should have a museum for all the things you restored!
Greetings from Drayton Valley Alberta Canada 🍁Miss your work Eric, please keep the vids comming. Love all the old stuff you find
Next level restoration! You took apart shit I would never had attempted! Can't wait for part 2 finish!
Can’t wait to see you finish it !
This is by far, I mean MILES, the best opening to a video! Every time I watch this channel, it makes me laugh. It's straight out of my childhood sitcoms of the early 80's good.
Top notch video, it was a pleasure to watch, thank you for taking the time to record and share 🇨🇦👍👍
Hell yes. Can't be tight if it's liquid! Your intro is the best thing on UA-cam!
Thanks for this one! It brought back an old memory, which you may like. He had this giant Craftsman 3/4" steel drill that he used to start our mower.
What a beautiful engine! You did a fine job bringing it back to life
That's a lot of impressive work on the death machine! Love that you keep the mistakes in the video, so we all learn too. Nice job!
My goodness, this was like a decent into mechanical hell. Its an incredible feat of determination to overcome the akward engineering of this frankenstein design. A bit inspiring. i appreciate your efforts.
I've been watching this channel for a little while now while I'm at work for the background noise and good moments it has. I am only just now realizing there have been closed captions on these videos that add backstory and unspoken commentary. I will now be going back to re-watch videos for this very reason.
Dear Mr. Rescue:
I have appreciated your videos for some time now and I wish to thank you for all the fun and shenanigans we have had along the way.
Have a nice day,
-Scott
That turned into a Misson. What a ballache. Knew you'd beat it. Great video
Sitting in the dark. Having in the middle of the night because of my hurting back.
Then I saw your back message.
Ahh, my problem has always been bending my knees, keeping my back straight. 😮 😊
