@@brianpaul98 anyone that says a crescent wrench is bad has not used one correctly or hasn't worked on enough old machinery to say anything. More likely to strip a bolt on these old engines with regular wrenches then with a crescent as the standard for bolts where way lower and it's really common to get 32nd increment bolt heads on these engines.
Ok I have to be completely honest here I did buy one of the adjustable wrench / vise grip deals and I really liked it. My engine building is way more recent than what you're working on. Standards were different and I guess if it gets the job done it's a win.
@brianpaul98 one major thing to watch out for on crescent wrenches is most modern ones are made so shody and sloppy that's where the rounding will start harbor freight crescent wrenches can't hardly turn air without rounding something off.
You certainly got it going but obviously have a lot to learn on using the correct types of tools to correctly approach the job in hand. Something of this age requires an amount of respect.
@@SiaVids I agree and disagree at the same time I work on them damn near daily there is some respect to be had but a crescent wrench is plenty of respectful if you're careful with it.

@@MARRANCA2 if you think a crescent wrench is a bad tool you either Don't know how to use one or have never used one properly to begin with. There's no harm in in using a crescent wrench. If using it correctly you can snap the bolt off before it would ever round the head.

Das mucha "envidia buena" como decimos en el idioma español. Es muy divertido y gratificante poner a funcionar cosas antiguas; en mi casa tenemos un Renault 4 de 1977 que estuvo abandonado casi 15 años y ahora lo tenemos andando. Puede que técnicamente se puedan hacer las cosas mejor pero el trabajo que has hecho es muy bonito.
So some information from a professional to the novice. In future if you run across another stuck poppet valve in one of these engines... use some PB Blaster or Kroil and apply liberally and let it sit for a couple of days. If this doesn't work, a heated oil bath and let it soak for 24 hours. The other thing I use is Berrymans B12 Chemtool in a slosher and let this agitate for 24 hours. All of these options would have prevented you from destroying a valve that you may not have been able to find. Just a suggestion for next time.
@@shanemcguire170 I am a full time machinist by trade and work on engines for my hobby and income, have my whole life. Anything I did in this video had some amount of for thought before I did it and the old valve that had been beaten on well before I got a hold of it was not on the top of my list to save.
Bring back a lot of memories for me. When I was a teenager my friends Dad owned an antique shop and had a lot of old engines similar to this one and we started bringing them back and cleaning them up and getting to run again. This included some very old Tractors too!
Great video! Minimal resources, maximum output. Genius. Why are some guys crying for 21st century state-of-the-art tech tools, for a guy working on an engine with pot metal parts? Please...
I plan to do a video with period correct wrenches one of these days. the good the bad and the ugly and the engine I do it to wont be the same ever again.
He did do it with his eyes closed, that's why he couldn't find any correct tools. If you're in a workshop environment there is no excuse for using crescent wrenches as hammers etc, just lazy workmanship. The floor should be covered in sawdust like in old butcher shops, because this clown is a butcher of the worst kind.
Finally somebody using penetrating oil. Field Mechanic here 30 years. There is nothing wrong with crecent wrenches if you know what the hell youre doing.
Well, at least the old valve acted as a reamer to clean out the old guide, maybe? XD Pot-metal cracking/swelling means some portion of the alloy has corroded, whichever metal was more reactive tends to go first. Some grease between the housing and the magnet might slow the corrosion in that area at least, since the filing will have exposed fresh metal to the air. Giving the housing a coating of some sort of oil after cleaning would be good as well, as the scrubbing and brake-clean will have removed any oils that were protecting it. See it with old ACVW engines that sit in a wet/damp area, the more reactive magnesium case will turn into a crumbly mess but the steel parts will just have surface rust and might be saveable. Would be great if more pot-metal parts had aluminum re-pop versions available!
Yep. Not only was he a goon with a Crescent Wrench but he held it backwards on the Nuts. Then used it for a hammer. Oh boy. Sure ran good. I don’t know how
@@squarefour1 and what did it do? Nothing worked perfectly fine. No rounded heads no problems with the wrench what so ever but people still complain like it is causing problems. And it ran because I did the work it needed to run.
I guess Delaval was the same company as Alfa laval ,which is familiar to me as makers of milk separators for dairy farmers. A huge company once. The little motor was typical on small farms for running the milking plant and separator.
@@cruddycornstalks monkey sees monkey does, this is the trouble. There is alot of young people who learn off UA-cam before they attempt. They copy these bad practices.
Using a metal hammer on a valve head, I could see what was comming. If your going to be hitting a valve like that use a wooden mallet or rubber even. If it is stuck that bad then it needs to come out and be cleaned also. Maybe sand and clean the shaft of the valve before beating it out of the head, so as to make easier removal and not damage the valve guide in the process.
I agree with some people, the last thing to use is adjustable wrench. But most of the people who watch this don't know how to restore an engine or the process of it.
@@christopherrobinkivisild5309 they sure seem like it's the worst thing to ever touch this engine like some of the nuts haven't been taken off with a chisel and hammer before.

Oh look, an engine that you can actually repair without patented tools and a computer that can only be reset by the manufacturer and is obsolete as soon as the manufacturer goes bankrupt

@@enginecrzy thank you! someday when I have more time down the line I'd love to get it completely spotless in the crankcase too but I had time restraints so I skipped that part.
That's how a "hit and miss" engine regulates its speed. When engine is above the set speed, the governor disconnects the magneto and holds the exhaust valve open so the engine does not draw air/fuel mixture in the intake valve. Only when it drops below the set speed, the governor connects the magneto and exhaust valve resumes normal function, causing air/fuel mixture to be drawn in the intake valve again. Put some load on it and it will fire more often.
If it works it’ll be a miracle. Lots of rusty components I apologize, it’s a miracle. It speaks volumes about the quality of the products built by master engineers ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to work on irrigation pumps the fasteners above the water line was very hard to move, Under water, the bolts were very rusty, but easy to remove. Ever since, I soak rusty parts in water. It softened the rust, hardened steel can pit thought. Works beautifully with hinges tools. Pliers etc. Great job rebuilding. Thanks.
There is no need there's nothing in this engine sensitive enough to care nor in most engines from that time. The lead in fuel wasn't as much for a lubricant or dampener then it was an octane booster as there wasn't ever metal lead in gas only tetra ethyl lead and that has no major help over modern octane boosters and oils.
@@Mariano.Bernacki basically no hit and miss engine had an air filter. They just sucked crud in and spar crud out. That's why you can find a lot of them completely worn out from inhaling corn dust and the like for decades.
@@AM-pl2pt someone finally gets it a bit. On these old engines alot of the bolts /nuts are called "large pattern" so in theory they should be one size larger then standard heads. But between a 100 years of rust and or abuse most are somewhere in between and it's safer and more reliable to use an adjustable wrench that will always go tight against what ever you put it on.
a few before me had wacked on it for a good minute the stem was crushed to almost twice its thickness. so I had a replacement in line and had no reason to worry about breaking it, though it wasn't really expected. but hoh boy do people seem mad that I broke a valve that I had a replacement for ! and they seem to act like they know how to fix the world!

@@danielgriffith7694 you can do that next time you work on one. Worked on hundreds of them. And handled some of the rarest out there so im good.
I used to work on irrigation pumps the fasteners above the water line was very hard to move, Under water, the bolts were very rusty, but easy to remove. Ever since, I soak rusty parts in water. It softened the rust, hardened steel can pit thought. Works beautifully with hinges tools. Pliers etc.
Great job rebuilding. Thanks.
Cry baby
thank a 100 years old engine now 😅😅😅 you make alive 💪 again 😅🎉
Did you put a lead substitute in the gas?
There is no need there's nothing in this engine sensitive enough to care nor in most engines from that time. The lead in fuel wasn't as much for a lubricant or dampener then it was an octane booster as there wasn't ever metal lead in gas only tetra ethyl lead and that has no major help over modern octane boosters and oils.
would this engine have some sort of intake air filter in service? can't see it lasting long without one, but am not knowledgeable so asking.
@@Mariano.Bernacki basically no hit and miss engine had an air filter. They just sucked crud in and spar crud out. That's why you can find a lot of them completely worn out from inhaling corn dust and the like for decades.
Nice to see beautiful, well made and reliable machinery being bought back to life. Subscribed.
Built to last
I love the crescent wrench
Diden't hone the cylinder or check for stuck rings?
@@bobvarrica5541 if it has good compression without , no need.
I'd recommend having that green paint checked for arsenic content, just in case …
@@RattiDave licked it. Seemed ok
Are the bolts/nut non standard size so that an adjustable wrench has to be used?
@@AM-pl2pt someone finally gets it a bit. On these old engines alot of the bolts /nuts are called "large pattern" so in theory they should be one size larger then standard heads. But between a 100 years of rust and or abuse most are somewhere in between and it's safer and more reliable to use an adjustable wrench that will always go tight against what ever you put it on.
What did you use to clean the engine at the end there? Looks to have worked very well!
it was a 50 50 of gasoline and kerosene. worked best with the grease the engine had without making the green come off.
Never seen anyone belt a valve like that
a few before me had wacked on it for a good minute the stem was crushed to almost twice its thickness. so I had a replacement in line and had no reason to worry about breaking it, though it wasn't really expected. but hoh boy do people seem mad that I broke a valve that I had a replacement for ! and they seem to act like they know how to fix the world!
@@cruddycornstalkssilly to beat a rusted valve back and forth. did you mean to screw up the valve guide? Shouldn't it have just been pushed out?🤦♂️
He makes it look so easy. Never like that in real life.
thanks! alot of labor went into the filming and the editing to make the video nice and short. and everyone that doesn't understand that is saying i missed steps and did it wrong
I love old machines
What would this have been used for ? A generator ?
anything you could belt it to!
Abroad, it is mechanical respiration. good.
Cool to have this machine powering an alternator or something slightly more period to produce power to charge an Edison battery...
Amazing ressurection!! i love those ancient hit n miss engines:)
Brunswick Green, I think.
What does "alot" mean ?
Didn't expect a pot metal mag housing...
very common back in the day.
I wish he worked for me he’s so quick
