Sir, you possess a wealth of knowledge regarding these old work horses. It appears that you spent less than just several hours to restore this dishpan which to me is mind blowing. It would take me a few days…maybe even weeks :). The magneto work impressed me the most because I am leery of working on them, but your work has encouraged me to tackle one…I even have one of those same engines to practice on. Thank you!
Good info,I have learned the hard way ,over 18 years I can’t remember all the probs encountered,but buying on line ,without proper info can lead to some pretty expensive ornaments…best to check them over in person,have brought one on line ,heaps of photos ,friendly seller ,but grease spread in cracks in the head and cylinder frame,photos taken of that area when asked ,but they were taken in such a way as to use light etc to hide the problem..no internal parts, basically scrap…they are out there…
Great Video, With reusing copper gaskets i would anneal them before using them it only takes a few minutes just get them blazing hot and drop in water it will save countless problems with sealing and leaking and breaking ,Thanks again Joe.
Thank you for this video. I bought my first motor last month. 1 1/2 IH M. First thing was to spray everything that should move wit PB blaster. I’m looking forward to building my collection. Not much of these old engines to be found in TX.
Greetings from a model engineer near London UK; I'm without a workshop atm during a refurb of my house and have enjoyed watching you doing an amazing job on this engine. We need more folks like you to pass the knowledge to the next generation; thank you! Keep up the good work and I'm subscribed and wanting more 👍
Great little Rustoration. I've found with old copper gaskets like this, before reinstalling them, heat them up with a blow torch to anneal the copper, it usually helps to reseat it.
Great suggestion about annealing the copper head gasket iv never rebuilt a stationary engine ( yet ) but iv had success annealing copper in other sealing applications. Geek bit now , to anneal the copper it only needs to be heated to a dull red then left to cool naturally , however cooling it in water as you suggested will “clean” the copper too So yea I’d agree dunk it in water , just technically it doesn’t need it
Excellent video. Two things I would like to add. Never lift an engine by a strap thru the flywheels, may bend the crank. Also if the engine is stuck do not use the flywheels to rock the crank back and fourth to try and unstuck the Poston, may Crack a spoke at the hub.
When honing cylinders, run slow revolutions and move quickly in and out so you get a cross honing, you should aim for a 45 degree cross, it's good to save the old machines from being scrapped and melted down
I have been collecting for over 25 years and just found your channel. You have done a Great Job!!! I find the videos very informative and well well edited. Thank you for your videos!!!
Got a 4 hp 1916 Galloway running couple years ago people at flywheel supply were able to supply the mag and other parts I needed great people to deal with
Recently found your channel and I love it! I'm an antique outboard guy, but many of the same tips and procedures apply! Like guys who run an outboard out of water and fry the rubber impeller, or particularly on old Elto motors spinning the flywheel without first making sure that Atwater Kent timer isn't frozen. Like you say, ignorance can be expensive!
By the way, that copper head gasket can be renormalized with heat. In other words turned soft again from being worked. But it looks like it sealed just fine so unneeded.
very good advice. seen alot of people ruin a lot of money at auction by not fallowing those simply rules. on those Fairbanks especially as if the governor is stuck or the mag the whole cam bracket can break very easy and ruin the whole engine for the most part.
with present day copy design programs,3d printing etc scrap pistons from diesel loader , piece of a head valve assembly , etc and large flywheels , steel from scrap yard these can be reproduced , only tricky part is mag which may be able to be replaced with electronic ignition and a crank sensor
Something I started using on mine to quiet the gear noise is chain saw bar and chain lube. It's sticky and stays on the gears better. It adds a cushion effect and really quiets it down. I know it's not as loud as it seems on camera.
Thank you very helpful, ,here in Kansas I've seen a few of some small ones here and there ,, have had mag work done and they are varied and expensive 😢 , , see ya ❤
Great information. I have a similar Fairbanks Morse that has not been run in approximately 20 years will help me as I try to get my engines running again. Thanks for the information.
i hate when i forget to strap them to table...lol..i had them take off on me before.started a 4hp ottawa once just sitting on shop floor i swear it came 2 feet off the ground when it fired and it was a throttler man i was busy for a minute
I recently started using a microphone on my channel as well, a cheap asian knock-off with crappy instructions!!! Enjoy watching the process of how these engine are brought back to life. I really want one now!!!
I thought you were going to break that last mixer valve and was that you using an adjustable wrench for a hammer ? And when you were trying to get that head off ( it was the same peice of equipment) and you tried getting it off by hitting the 90 that was screwed into it that was binging used for a muffler and really it was a pipe 90 but you finally found your bearings ?
Love watching these old engines rebuilt. Could you possibly do a video where you add a common auto alternator with a V belt and use it to charge a battery bank? A fella could then add an inverter to power an off grid cabin or power down situation. I know there are plenty of modern generators out there available for cheap but I think maybe these might be a smidge more economical. And you would have put one of these old girls back to work and out of the scrapyard.
I have a couple factory generator sets that use the hit miss engines. I plan on getting one of them going, and it will be on here. I have some other hit miss engine powered equipment I want to get running again and pair up with some engine so people will understand what these things are used for.
Wow thats what I've been looking for! Thanks so much for all the info. I have loved these engines at shows since I was a kid. I think I'm finally at the point in my life to take on one myself. Looks like your channel is going to be my guide. Can't wait to see what else you have. Subscribed!✌️
I would like a tour of your shop someday. See all the different engines that you have and other old iron. Plus it's a easy video to do because you don't have to do any work!
Many thanks for the great videos! I stumbled across your channel yesterday, and it didn't take long for me to subscribe. Still have a lot of catching up to do. Part of the charm of these old engines, is the sound/noise and how much they vibrate around. I was wondering if you've ever tried to place a heavy rubber mat under them, such as a horse stall mat, to help dampen the "charm"? Keep up the great videos.
I think I would have loosened the connecting rod cap bolts and the crankshaft cap bolts a little on both sides, before totally backing off the bolts. Then again I would have loosened the head bolts a little at a time.
Hey there! Loving your videos! I’m new with the hit and miss engines. I recently was able to take over my father-in-laws collection. 2 out of 8 he had basically running. I have worked on getting 4 more running. I am hooked! I’m waiting for warmer weather here in the northeast. 1 of my questions is, I am starting and running them on 90NE. Should I switch to kerosene after I start them. Not running them long, just showing them off. Keep it up!!👍🏼💪🏼
Very nice! Always love these types of videos so keep them coming! Also nice job with the engine! That thing runs great! Looking forward to the next one! :)
Hah! I thought is was going to be a potion of Marvel Mystery Oil, transmission fluid and eye of newt! Thanks for the link to your other video. Cheers! 🇨🇦
Those types of"MAGNETO" IS ACTUALLY A SMALL DYNAMO, LIKE WAS USED ON TELEPHONE OPERATORS SWITCH BOARDS. IT DOESN'T PRODUCE A "HIGH TENSION" SPARK LIKE ON( or maybe that one does since it has a spark plug??) AN OLD TRACTOR, IT JUST PRODUCES A VOLTAGE TO MAKE THE POINTS IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER ARC, WHEN IT HITS! NO TELLING WHAT THAT WAS USED FOR,, running a saw,a water pump,AN OIL WELL PUMP WHATEVER! I LOVE THOSE OLD ONES!! On that type of mag, does it have to be timed up ?? Since it has the plug ignition?? I figured it was like the ones with the other style ( point inside chamber) if not when does it know to fire at the RIGHT SPOT??
This is a Fairbanks Morse Type R magneto, which is a high tension mag. Engines with spark plugs are all going to be high tension. The type you are talking about are low tension and are used with engines that have ignitors. This mag does need to be timed the same way the crank is time by matching up timing marks on the gears.
@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities thanks for that INFORMATION,I was a little confused about that,,I had thought all those types were low tension!!! NOW I KNOW THAT SOME ARE HIGH TENSION AS WELL!! ALWAYS LEARNING!!
What's the difference between kerosene and distillate. My grandfather had a Minneapolis Moline tractor that started on gasoline then you switch it to distillate
I just found one for sale the other day on FB marketplace and realized I really wanted one, this video is an excellent start point but the thing I want to know is value. That person wanted $400, it was gone before he answered whether or not it actually still ran. Any info on values around?

Excellent video and you're right, they do keep getting better!. I dig your parts washer. Where's it from and what are you using as a solvent? At the risk of sounding like a Karen, you might want to refrain from wrapping your thumb around the crank handle. These old timers have a habit of kicking back, which can make for a bad day for your thumb.
I bought the parts washer from homedepot if I remember correctly and The solvent is from tractor supply company. You are not wrong about the thumb, the correct way to crank is as you stated. The short crank handle on this engine didn't accommodate to doing it that way unfortunately.

I agree. I owned British motorcycles and that was necessary to keep them from blowing.
38:45 when things were actually designed to not only be repaired. But repaired in the field with as little tools as possible. Excellent!!
If pounding on the pot metal Fairbanks timing bracket do so very carefully. They are very easy to break. I speak from experience.
You are correct. Really should use a press.
Nice to see folks still interested in these! Nice tutorial!

@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities Heat until bluish/yellow in color. That is the way we used to treat head gaskets on older triumph 650s to re-use them
Great suggestion about annealing the copper head gasket iv never rebuilt a stationary engine ( yet ) but iv had success annealing copper in other sealing applications.
Geek bit now , to anneal the copper it only needs to be heated to a dull red then left to cool naturally , however cooling it in water as you suggested will “clean” the copper too
So yea I’d agree dunk it in water , just technically it doesn’t need it

The copper head gasket can be heated up on a gas stove to soften it, otherwise it may not seal when the head is retorked.
