- Hey All,
I'm finally back with a full length resurrection video! I bought this engine in 2023 and literally saved if from going to the scrap yard. Was it a good save, will I be able to get it to run again? Watch the video to find out!!!!
THIS VIDEO IS NOT NARRATED AND IS DIFFERENT FROM MY REGULAR CONTENT, THANKS - Věda a technologie

Nice save! Glad you were able to rescue this one and make it run again. I love the old iron and it would break my heart to scrap an engine capable of running again.
You and me both!
Scrap????? how is it possible
I love watching videos like this. No useless talking or music in the background. It's very distracting n gets on my nerves. The sound of your tools is music enough. Nice job.
Thank you. However, my normal content I do talk some in. This video is doing well, however, so I may throw a silent film in from time to time!
@Cast_Iron_Curiosities I don't mind a bit of talking, but some videos have too much talking. I just want to watch what the video is about. Thanks, mate.
@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities Everyone loves a restoration ASMR. This got you a sub from me, but I do like the verbally informative videos as well.
Very nice! I love listening to those engines run. Its a comforting sound to me. On the farm when I was a boy, I could here one on the pump jack running 24/7. It produced all the natural gas to power the irrigation motors and lots more. So long as it was cared for, it ran and was very rarely shut off. We kept parts on hand for repairs and it was never down for long. It ran on the natural gas so it didnt carbon up. It was perfect for that application.
These old motors were definitely built a lot more robust than what we have today!
I am very impressed. We had one just exactly like this one - and in the same degree of neglect. Where I grew up had been an old farm and this was just sitting out in the woods. My father brought it in to tinker with it. He called it: "a one-lunger," but he didn't want to put in the amount of work that you did here. This was over 60 years ago, so it wasn't old enough then to be an "antique," but not new enough to be worth saving, so it sat outside until I left for college in 1971. What happened to it after that I have no idea. So, it was great to see this one actually working! Thanks!
I love old technology, we wouldnt be where we are today without it, watching you save and get these old timers running again is so satisfying. I am looking forward to the magneto video, and the progress on this old girl, all the best big fella from the UK.
Thank you! I hope to be a little more consistent this year with my posting!
Thank you for making this old engine run again, a most enjoyable video. It makes a change to see somone repairing stuff rather than just throwing it away.
Even in unrestored condition you have to pAY a lot of dollars
Nice clean up and restoration. Thank you for bringing this great machine back to life.
Excellent job in getting the engine running again! Now... you have to disassemble it completely, clean and polish everything, sandblast, steam clean, paint all the outside, measure everything with the right tolerances, and reassemble, and will look and work like a brand-new engine! keep up the good work! Don't forget to do the same thing for the 4-wheeled cart!
Why?
Why ?
👍
That would be a sin.
Because all he has done so far is revive the engine, not restore it.
That truck looks better with each video. You are an inspiration to us all !!!!!!
I am speechless, what a bring back. Well done hope your proud of her.
Thank you!
Each hit or miss engine has it's own rhythm, I like to listen to the patterns.
My kids called them hiccup motors they said it sound like they had hiccups.
awsome work sir.i have worked on these in the past years.
you realy lucked out the way the nuts and screws came off.
thank you for saving the engine
I’ll say when I work in my own shop on my antique engines and equipment it sounds very much like this video does, and most times it’s relaxing to just wrench on something and not explain every detail. Really in my honest opinion if their watching for education and they have a question or concern they WILL ask you. People that just watching for entertainment aren’t here to learn anything. You do good work sir, and I enjoy it
I watched this twice . I love to see these great pieces of History saved. As always I liked and shared. Glad to see you back Sir. All my very best.
Thank you!
@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities Your a butcher !first video i watched you were using a pipe wrench on a connecting rod this one begins with you removing head nuts with a crescent wrench pathetic buy some tools .
Thank you for saving it's life. 😄
At 68 years I've got some worn out parts too. 😹
Wonderful to watch thank you for sharing.
Was not expecting to see somewhat modern-looking two-piece insert journal bearings. Very cool. You can certainly tell it was designed and manufactured in an era when diy maintenance was the norm. A dream to work on even after a century!
Good for you. Thanks for sharing.
That's a lovely old engine and just how I like to find them. I've had to cut engines out of trees before now and managed to save them without breaking a single part.
Very impressive. So glad for my grandchildren, to know that there are still people around that can fix stuff. Thank you for sharing your adventure..
Wow the Old Girl Runs Again!
Thanks, good job....
Great to see a nice, well built engine being saved from scrap! Thanks, great work!
Brilliant workmanship and a good save of the old machine 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Awesome work. Thanks for saving instead of trashing.
Got to say I prefer narrated vids. I like hand tool rescue, but I prefer the voice with it.
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided not to narrate without it.
I have that back now, and future videos will be narrated.
Thank you for your input!
I prefer the non-narated vids myself.
Hand tool rescue is even learning that people like to hear the narrative and is starting to speak more in his videos. Ok video but nope sorry.
Brilliant!
Glad to see someone keeping this stuff alive. Good work!
We used a 3 hp version on a truck frame with steel decks to cut firewood for 20 yrs or so. Belt driven; that is where I learned to make / repair drive belts.
What a beautiful sound! Music to the ears! That you were able to find an engine that intact was a feat in itself! Not how they are usually found. Ready for the fine adjustments and as close to period painting as possible.
Mate, some of your tools are positively ancient. That lathe is best of all it's so beautiful, and the drill press is second only to the lathe and that old pressure thingy works so well without the aid of pneumatics. It's lovely to see a guy who respects old machines in use and fixing, but can also combine modern tools as well. A great restoration video using some tools themselves restored. It was very pleasant watching you restore this old engine back to use, using some tools not far removed from the engine itself. A really great restoration video using some wonderful old tools. Cute doggy to.
Thank you!
Great to watch. Top class!
Old rusty engine brought back to life, then put on an old rusty cart! Perfection!! Even got to hear it run. Even better!
Love the old classics.
Absolutely!
Fantastic 🎉👍👍👍
Great work!!!
Thank you!
Done this so many times great memoties.
Good work, great that it runs once again.
Thank you!
Glad to see there are still people that rebuild the old engines. I have one that is similar in size maybe a little smaller but haven't begun to do anything with it yet. Given their size the horsepower ratings always seemed low. My grandfather had one with five foot flywheels. I don't ever remember it running. Keep up the good work.
Good to see another video, nice save.
Thank you!
Very cool video! I love going to thresher shows just to see the old engines running. Glad you save this one!
This was absolutely worth of saving! Nice job 👍
fantastic , thank you for restoring this old pice of mechanic. M.S. from germany 😊
Top Vice one could only imagine how much hard graft thats seen...Absolutely this engineering history needs saving..
Angry Farmer is my go to for tough jobs. Absolutely love that stuff. 👍🏻
Definitely is!
A thing of beauty
I'm sure glad you are saving the old iron. Good job young man.
Thank you!
Excellent work thanks for saving
nice to see a survivor run and thanks for fixing it.
Great restoration on this old engine. You did a masterful job.
Well done, great to see
formidable!!
Nice save. A couple of years ago they had a couple of fully restored hit-and-miss farm engines running at a Labor Day weekend festival at the old Seale, Alabama courthouse.
I used to take mine to shows. One fella told me to put coffee grounds into cheese cloth, 1/2 a cup, in the water tank and it'll drive people nuts wanting to know where the coffee pot was. The best part was after the show I drained the tank and it was clean as you could want. Good video, I'll be watching.
awesome watching this rebuild
Thank you!
Good job on saving that old engine.
enjoyed the video.glad you respect the design , engineering and fabrication that went into the making and restoring of a piece of history.amazing shop and talent you got
Awesome restoration!
This would be a great application for one of those laser cleaners.
Definitely!
I love these hit and miss engines. Just a little adjustment of the regulator and shell run fine. They run better under load
Great video i can learn a lot off this type off video's. Thank you so muts.
Greetings Martin from the Netherlands
So cool! Always wanted one.
Great job, well done
Excellent! No f-face and no music to disturb ... this is how to do it!
Thank you. Not all my videos are like this one, but I try to keep the unnecessary talking to a minimum.
Great job, I like the way it looks now, like a well used surviver, that runs like new again. The painted-up "dandies" look good too. However your engine has a dignity that only comes with time and hard work...I say, keep as it is.
great job john
That is amazing how you restored that 100-yeat-old gas engine running at all, even though you had some trouble getting it to run at first.
Thank you!
one of your most enjoyable videos, not that I don't like the soind of your voice but you have such expressive hand gestures conveying thoughts and its great to concentrate on a capable pair of hands doing what they do best. Well done.
Thank you!
Well done. Old engines like this were almost hand built and the knowledge to rebuild them is important. Better still, put them to use again.
Excellent interesting
Whoa. That's really great.
Greetings from Australia. What a beautiful piece of kit. You did a great job mate. Goodvwork
Thank you!
I enjoyed this video! I valve seen several engines like this at fairs in South Dakota back about 50 - 60 years ago. The last one I saw running was at my amateur university back in late 70's - early 80's. You saved a piece of Amreicana from a long ago!
Just found your channel - some awesome content subscribed straight away - have to work my way through your videos now 😃cheers from Tasmania and keep em coming 👍🇦🇺
Nice job Thanks for sharing nice job.
Well done
I can't believe you got that to run!
I would love to see this engine with the rust completely removed and an era appropriate paint job applied.
Excellent ... good to see you didn't 'bling' it up with new paint.
You've got my work bench! I have a 1in plate steel bench, a safe builder cut off for me.
I grew up in an oil field town, listening to these engines at night. Later I worked on engines just like this, only the flywheel was about six feet in diameter. They ran on well head gas from a copper tube from the well head, and were started with your foot and arms. Take the spark plug out and squirt a little gasoline in and they would start up easily. The only reason they were shut off was to work on the well.
Nice work!
A reciprocating cannon… I love this stuff!! ❤️
Nice work indeed, amazing retore hello from down under.
Bonsoir
Une belle restauration 👍
C’est toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos.
Yes I do like to hear you narrate your videos! It makes them a lot better! Keep up the great work!
I will be narrating my further videos. My mic, that I got sooooo many comments that I should get, quit working on me, and I decided to not narrate without it.
I have that back now and future videos will be narrated.
Thank you for your input!
Great job
Thank you!
Excellent!!!!!
put a peice wood or rag in the cylinder head keeps the valves from pushing in when you push the spring down to remove keeper. Love these old motor projects. So neat to hear them run.
Loved the video!!!
A defiant good save
I agree, thank you!
Congratulations, good work.
You sir, have some impressive skills!
AWESOME!!!
Love this old stabil engines
I'm an old shade tree Mechanic myself! Started out with nothing more than leftover tools from my Dad (they were all crap) taught myself, with the help of hot rod magazines, and built 4 great street worthy cars, which I drove for many years! This guy has a soft spot in my heart!
Thank you! I'm glad you understood the premise of the video!
Why would you shame your own Father by saying his tools "were all crap." I really doubt if they were, but even if they were "crap" you should have kept to yourself. Ungrateful son, sounds like you have an ego problem..."built 4 great street worthy cars."
O_O!!!! Look at it go!! Amazing to think what it meant to the people of its time~
Awesome Work

I like to tub old iron in a mixture of diesel and a little gasoline to softened all the old grease. I use a large poly tub with a snap on cover. I also like to brush the iron to make it like new. Just a personal preference. Nice job and i am sure that old iron feels like a young one again.
I really like that you didn't paint it all up with pinstripes etc.
Thank you!
Mate,bin waiting forever for more content ,at last yay luv your work
Thank you! I hope to be a little more consistent this year!
