I have a question for Taryl and the Grass Rats : Question : Does anyone make a Rev limiter that is compatible with a lawn mower style ignition coil with just a grounding tab ?
I'll take a B&S over a Honda, any day. The B&S carbs are very forgiving of bad fuel, whereas Honda is a pre-madonna. Leave it alone for a week, and the carb is clogged up and runs like crap.
@TiredOldMann Oh the memories. Once I told my dad that the mower wouldn't start and that's why I didn't cut the grass. That was the last time I said that to him. I learned how to make it start no matter what.
Brings back memories when I was a child lawnmower mechanic in the 60’s. Got to to work on a Briggs with a crank like this one. The aluminum frame mower reminds me of dads old 50’s craftsman. Love the vintage deck color and Briggs stamped metal and classic decals 🙌
My dad had one of those. I barely remember it and I'm 66 years old. I thought the name of it was " that sonofabitch" because he always said that when he tried to start it. Thanks for the memories!!
I'm 58 now and that is the style my DAD had, when I had to cut his grass in the 70's..I was just wondering the other day if you were going to have one of those type lawn mowers.. Your videos are outstanding plus the skits before and some after. Your team is extremely creative..GREAT GREAT JOB!!
Cool project. Amazing it survived this long. Fun skit with the rest of the boys. I worked for NAPA for 25 years and I've seen a lot of old mower parts sitting in dusty old parts boxes waiting to be discovered.
I'd like to throw a shout out to the company that prints Taryls shirts, quality is top notch, bought my shirts at your shop over a year ago and after many washes the print still looks brand new!👍👍
That is one cool mower. The 1950's and 60's had some really neat artistic characteristics in the the design of just about everything. Great video. Thanks Taryl and crew.
you, Farmcraft 101 and Mustie 1 are just great DIY.....watch all of you regularly....your common traits are calm deliberate solutions with a touch of humor....TY
Great video as always, Taryl! I love these old machine videos because they take me back to my youth. By the way, the trigger positions on Weller soldering guns are the opposite of what you would think. The first position is high, and the second position is the low setting. Just an FYI.
Not true. I have two. Got my first one in 72. Still have it. First click is low, second it high on both of them made 30 yrs apart. If yours isn't like that, maybe it's been apart and someone switched the wires around. I got both mine brand new.
@@MaxNafeHorsemanship It is you that's mistaken. Google the manual. I have both the professional (260/200 watt), and the universal (140/100 watt) guns. They both they are high on first click, and low on the second click.
That green deck reminds me of the old Kee mowers. My neighbor had two of them. I got one running. The other was a donor. It went to the scrap yard. The oil monitor reminded me. Several years ago, a friend called me to go through her late fathers shop. He was a contracted Sears repairman. I was able to get two new in the box full block 8 HP engines. Two rebuilt engines, I believe both were 5HP, and a short block 8HP. A bunch of new old B&S parts, Tecumish parts. New and used gas tanks, and other stuff. Most all is gone now. Nice job on the mower. Like you said, patience!
I really enjoy these videos of vintage equipment repair. You can learn alot, including the need to be creative, as illustrated by the carb bowl gasket modification. TD's advice about muriatic acid is very good. Muriatic acid is a form of hydrochloric acid and can be nasty stuff if you're not careful. Use gloves. It can be a skin irritant even if the residue on its container appears to be dried out. Great educational video.
Well Taryl ,you are the the only one who takes on the most forgotten projects I have ever seen. I learn so much from you when you tackle these forsaken pieces of history. I am scared to even think about buying anything new but your knowledge base is incredible. I wish you would tell us in a video of what you recommend to look for in this El cheapo Grande world of small equipment manufacturers. I know that you have pointed out over your videos of what is good and what is just junk . So as a start ,could you do a video on how you would build an engine or what were the goodies that were reliable, dependable and durable. Honda's were great until they were out of patent, but what is a great engine built today?
When I was a kid my uncle had a small engine shop and I did most the repairs. I worked on alot of these mowers. Believe it or not alot of the ppl wanted the crank starters taken off. We had some old parts laying around and we changed out a few. He closed down after a while , sold everything off to a guy. Lots of parts and old/new stock that's priceless now. Carb kits for those mowers, he had alot of them. He had boxes of carb parts he got from a shop went out of business in the 70s. I remember sorting and stocking gaskets and glass sediment bowls for engines. This was around 46 or 47 years ago. 1976 or 77. I never seen one of those oil minders. That's pretty cool.
Dang! That flywheel has an amazing number of fins in the "fan" that cools the engine. Have'nt seen anything like that in a long time. Very cool work, Taryl. ❤
I used to cut grass with one of those I'm talking about mid sixties early seventies. Thanks taryl you just show me what tools you use and what tools to buy god bless buddy.
I remember this type form when I was young . That's how old I am. My dad had one for a while. Really cool. Thanks man.that is really appreciated martial
Thank you, I have the same mower but with a pull start, needs a governor spring. No model numbers that I can see all rusted over . I will use your model number and try to find a spring on the inter screen. Thanks for the video it was a big help.
That is American craftsmanship at its finest, Taryl. Thanks for our Sunday dinner. By the way, I have an old 1968 lawn boy I’d like you to have to do a video on but it would have to be a pickup because I can’t drive. I’m in Ohio.
Man that brings back memories. We had that engine on a different frame, the wheels laid out like a figure 8 car and rubbed. I was 12. I hated that mower. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Taryl Fixes All, is absolutely incredible at working on these types of engines and machine's. His knowledge is literally 2nd to NONE. The way he's willing to take the time to explain every step with very few cuts in the video is impressive. This make's it so much easier to learn how it's really done. Thanks TFA, your the best channel
I enjoy watching your vids, We use Formula 88, it dissolves everything and anything, its not toxic either, used in to de-tarnish the inside of my coffee pot.
teaches me about my gas post hole digger; has that same wind up starting... Sometimes in MN winter, I wish my Jetta was adapted with one on the hood! lol That carb looks like my Montgomery Ward roto tiller! Lots TO do! I'm lost with any valve problems really.
1:19:45 that knob also explains why there's a gouge in every cooling fin on the flywheel. It was half-engaged while running at least once and nearly destroyed the flywheel. Maybe some goofball 40 years ago tried to stop the engine with that knob. Shame about the original starter clutch. You CAN clean the inside of those with a gun bore brush too and also polish the crankshaft extension to eliminate the squeal. Maybe it needs a felt disc in the end to hold a few drops of 30 weight oil as well, like the newer style you replaced it with? The noise is pretty easy to deal with.
I seen a neighbor or relative that had a mower with similar starting mechanism back in 60s or 70s. I never seen it run, or prepped to start. Totally forgot about it. Thanks for sharing this cool piece of history!
That Oil Minder came as standard with our 1974-ish Swedish Klippo Kommun with a Briggs engine, quite like the one you just breathed life into. Also solid aluminium deck and very good large ball bearing wheels. Klippo was also very early with a one lever/4-wheel height adjustment, which this one also had. Sits on the side and very dependable mechanism. Never had one break or seize up. I still have a 1977 variant, but the previous owner converted it (sadly) to a dip stick instead. Loved the video, thanks!
Another fun project Taryl, God bless Uncle Pat. I always like working on the old B&S. I’m surprised to see a plastic governor air vane on a 1959 vintage engine, I expected to see metal. No oil smoke either. 👍🏻
Faryl gave great advice on the Weller Solder iron. I have one it is superior to the others I have. It works also amazing as a plastic welder and you can get a flat tip for it to finish the plastic welds.
Hey. “You are not supposed to be sanding the points. It leaves sanding grit in there and it makes them wear out” 😂. They must have not heard of brake clean and compressed air. As a dealer you want to sell parts, but sanding works. Love my Sunday mornings with my coffee, robe and ascot, watching your skits and adventures into the mechanics life. I’ve been doing it (repairing) for 50 year and still love it ❤. Thanks for what you do. Sb
My mower and my car still have points. Never heard of the grit wearing things. I guess it could. Personally, the problem I had was if you don't clean up after your clean up, the grit could hold the points apart and prevent contact and spark. I've seen lots of RUclipsrs buy new points after sanding. They couldn't figure out why they didn't work. Wasted a lot of money just in gas driving to the parts store. Sanding works great if you understand the risks.
This mower has some great features for the time, but at least a couple of dangerous aspects stick out to me. If you look at 01:24:39 the carburetor is directly above the exhaust muffler. That is a fire waiting to happen.. And the side discharge chute at 01:09:15 is awesome and dangerous as hell at the same time. I'm glad we learned and implemented small (but significant) safety improvements over the years.
Taryl great content. I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing your next videos. Again a nother relic saved by you. And you are amazing finding out how to get the machine back running.
Tarryl when I was younger my family had a mower shop 1960-1986 sold a fair amount of Hahn/Eclipse mowers made in Evansville,Indiana .probably close to Podunk ,Ind.most were cast deck good design. That mower brings back memories thanks.
CAST ALUMINUM, THEY DON'T MAKE THEM ANYMORE, USALY YOU SEE THE 2 STROKES ON THE ALUMINUM DECKS. I HAVE AN OLD JOHN DARE WITH A ALUMINUM DECK, I THINK IT'S A 4-STROKE BUT NOT POSITIVE. TARYL I'VE ONLY BEEN WATCHING FOR A FEW MONTHS, YOU GOT MY ATTENTION. YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY, I LOVE IT ALL, BOTH CH. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13 YEARS OLD I USED TO DRIVE MY SIT-DOWN LAWN MOWER WITH A TRAILER MY OLD MAN MADE WITH PLYWOOD TO THE TOWN DUMP. I WOULD BRING HOME OLD LAWNMOWERS CLEAN OUT THE CARBS, GET THEM RUNNING THEN SELL THEM IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. I ALSO SOLD SCRAP METAL, AND BOUGHT MY FIRST WELDER WHEN I WAS 15. YOUR CH BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.'' THANK YOU TARYL 🙋♂✌
Yeah Tarl, I had a mower like that for cutting grass around the neighborhood. Then I'd go to the public swimming pool and with my little brother, we'd enjoy our summer 😁. Many fun memories, so thanks 👍
50:01 back in the 50's and later they called it grinding the valves , I guess because not many actual machine shops around to do a real complete valve grinding job.
Back in the late 60's, my grandparents had a "coast to coast" mower that had a Briggs with the same wind up starter system. It made it easy for me to start an mow their yard at the farm.
Cool machine-I have a old mower in my garage that was built in 1957-same as me!- and the quality is amazing-I miss the old asbestos gaskets, the new ones seem to be junk. Well done, Taryl!
Dang it... that's just too cool of a mower...Why they don't make em like that anymore...I don't know. I love that winding start crank that folds up and the height adjustment lever is just awesome.
People want to save money and So companies make them cheap. They still make high quality push mowers. But most people are not willing to spend 800 plus for a push mower. They buy cheap disposable mowers, and cheap companies are happy selling them
I used to love them crank top B&S mowers i found thrown out as a kid in Camden N.J. get them things running and make some bucks cutting grass in the summer. mine didn't have that knob on it, mine have a lever.
@1:05:22 White vinegar works really good on rust, you just have to have patience with it. It also makes a good all around the house cleaner and with baking soda cleans out p-traps in sinks.
I really like this video! Tip for Taryl: Cleaning the tank: Put your stuff in there and duct tape it to the rear wheel of a vehicle - jacked up, and then let her idle for 20 minutes.
To clean motorcycles tanks, I toss in some short sheet rock screws and lacquer thinner or vinegar. I stick the tank in my old electric cement mixer and cram in some old blankets or inflate some old inner tubes to keep it from tumbling around in the mixer. Works like a champ
Hey Taryl love your channel! I have two troybilt horse tillers with Kroler 8 hp castirons from the 80s but would love to see a video on belt replacement and especially proper tensioning. Great piece of equipment but everyone I know has problems with belt tension making it where you have to hold the lever down to engage forward. “Help me Mr Wizard “
I remember my father had a mower with the crank start. I was a youngster then. I think it might have been a craftsman mower but I am not sure. It was a pain in the rear to start. I hated the crank start feature. But my friends thought it was cool to crank the handle to start it. Thanks for the memories Taryl.
That thing is awesome! I have never seen one of them before. I would love to be the proud owner of that baby. Got me feeling like Slips & Ron in one. I joke, I love both of them guys but I can't cramp their style,
My family had a mower with a wind-up starter on it, but the spring was released when you folded the starter back down into the storage position. I think that one was a Tecumish. Amazing that the spring on that one is still good.
Weller is one of the best in that type of soldering gun, been using them for over 50 years. Still have one of the old ones that still performs great. It just works.
Saw a RUclipsr from Great Briton clamp an auto gas tank to a cement mixer, and spun it with nuts in tank to clean it. He moved it a couple times and spun it and it cleaned pretty good!

I have a question for Taryl and the Grass Rats : Question : Does anyone make a Rev limiter that is compatible with a lawn mower style ignition coil with just a grounding tab ?
You can STILL be a fan of Breaks & Scrap 'Em, just be a retro fan of the old stuff.
The Briggs and scrap em engines from the 90s and earlier were so easy to work on,and very dependable.
sears and row back outboards, can't beat them..
I'll take a B&S over a Honda, any day. The B&S carbs are very forgiving of bad fuel, whereas Honda is a pre-madonna. Leave it alone for a week, and the carb is clogged up and runs like crap.
@@airplanegeorge You mean craftsman
@@frankbill9172 No, Crapsman!
@@newsnowriversidesgtrock YEP! Right there
What would I do without your entertainment Taryl? I hope you never stop you are the best. Also the rest of the grassrats that are with you.🍻
I love that crank start. The 60's were a really innovative time.
I remember seeing a few of those.
As a 10 year old I hated them . Took at least 10 tries to start it .
@TiredOldMann

Had one of those when I was a kid. didn't even think about it till I saw this video man, the memories. Very cool. Thanks Taryl.
Pretty cool old piece of b&s history, and a solid old lawn mower. Nice work bringing her back to her glory Taryl
The Briggs I rebuilt in Small Engines class in high school in 89 had the crank starter. Nice to see one in action again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I have the same mower but with a pull start, needs a governor spring. No model numbers that I can see all rusted over . I will use your model number and try to find a spring on the inter screen. Thanks for the video it was a big help.
Loves these vids Taryl ... Nothing better than dragging an piece of Briggs and Scrap-on into the man cave for a fiddle!! Keeps the wife guessing LOL!!
Those oil minders are great. Period correct too.
That is American craftsmanship at its finest, Taryl. Thanks for our Sunday dinner. By the way, I have an old 1968 lawn boy I’d like you to have to do a video on but it would have to be a pickup because I can’t drive. I’m in Ohio.

I love that winding start crank that folds up and the height adjustment lever is just awesome.
People want to save money and
So companies make them cheap. They still make high quality push mowers. But most people are not willing to spend 800 plus for a push mower.
They buy cheap disposable mowers, and cheap companies are happy selling them
These are fun Sunday projects see if it can run again
I just love these antique stuff - what a cracking mower. 👍
Years ago my neighbor who has passed was Dale Weller and he was a accountant for his brother Roy who invented the Weller Soldering Gun

Thanks for the long video! Love you guys. Taught me half of everything I know.
You guys are great actors 😃😃🏁🏁 Ed is my favorite I know guys like him 😂😂
you are so explict in your detail, it is amazing. your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, that was a great show. Never seen a crank start like that. I've done that DIY bowl gasket super glue fix myself, cool to see a pro do it.
I used to love them crank top B&S mowers i found thrown out as a kid in Camden N.J. get them things running and make some bucks cutting grass in the summer. mine didn't have that knob on it, mine have a lever.
@1:05:22 White vinegar works really good on rust, you just have to have patience with it.
It also makes a good all around the house cleaner and with baking soda cleans out p-traps in sinks.
I really like this video! Tip for Taryl: Cleaning the tank: Put your stuff in there and duct tape it to the rear wheel of a vehicle - jacked up, and then let her idle for 20 minutes.
To clean motorcycles tanks, I toss in some short sheet rock screws and lacquer thinner or vinegar. I stick the tank in my old electric cement mixer and cram in some old blankets or inflate some old inner tubes to keep it from tumbling around in the mixer. Works like a champ
i have been watching taryl for about 1 yr. he can REALY FIX ALL !!!!!!!!
This is a unique channel. Not only does it educate, its so entertaining. I just love it. Keep it up Taryl and the Boys..👍🔧😂🇬🇧
Hey Taryl love your channel! I have two troybilt horse tillers with Kroler 8 hp castirons from the 80s but would love to see a video on belt replacement and especially proper tensioning. Great piece of equipment but everyone I know has problems with belt tension making it where you have to hold the lever down to engage forward. “Help me Mr Wizard “
Coil crack can be repaired with liquid electric tape. Sounds great and looks terrific!
Great info video, thank you very much Taryl!
Thank you taryll for being the space shuttle for us
I remember my father had a mower with the crank start. I was a youngster then. I think it might have been a craftsman mower but I am not sure. It was a pain in the rear to start. I hated the crank start feature. But my friends thought it was cool to crank the handle to start it. Thanks for the memories Taryl.
That thing is awesome! I have never seen one of them before. I would love to be the proud owner of that baby. Got me feeling like Slips & Ron in one. I joke, I love both of them guys but I can't cramp their style,
Great video on the old equipment.
Great job getting the old mower going another well done job 👍
That's how I remember my Grandpas mower ..you could wind that thing up until your arm fell off ..it only started when it felt like running
My family had a mower with a wind-up starter on it, but the spring was released when you folded the starter back down into the storage position. I think that one was a Tecumish. Amazing that the spring on that one is still good.
Weller is one of the best in that type of soldering gun, been using them for over 50 years. Still have one of the old ones that still performs great. It just works.
Saw a RUclipsr from Great Briton clamp an auto gas tank to a cement mixer, and spun it with nuts in tank to clean it. He moved it a couple times and spun it and it cleaned pretty good!
