Absolutely LOVE your channel and all the things you do. I thank God I found it and has given me inspiration to help preserve the 'old ways'. I have restored an old pickaroon, Pulaski and splitting axe since finding your channel. Thank you for what you do and what you bring to a world GREATLY in need of it ALL !! THANK YOU !!! God bless you and your family !
McCormick Deereing Hit and Miss Engine. Very cool find Cody! My grandfather used one of these for many years running a saw mill and a water pump. we still have it in our family and still runs to this day!
Yeah you are killing me! Fun to watch you progress through this. I have an old JD hit and miss. It came off our family farm and ran everything from harvesters to the washing machine. May The Lord continue to bless you and your family sir !
Everyone needs to stop complaining about length. He's not putting up an entertainment show, it's farm work. Hard, long days of demanding work. He just happens to be bringing us along. Be grateful!
Love these videos. I am working on a old wisconsin 2 cylinder engine from the 50's that my garndfather put on a home built tractor he made in the 60's. Keep them coming.
You are in my wheel house now and I am really enjoying this. I love making old stuff run; it is such a sense of accomplishment when it cranks up. You're right, I can't wait to hear it pop for the first time in nearly 70 years.
This is amazing seeing these old tools and machines being restored! I am sure the mice had a very warm place to live with all that "stuff" in there. :) Thanks Mr. Wranglerstar.
Around here they refer to this type of engine as a Hit or Miss engine. They were used to power anything from an ice cream freezer to a hammer-mill, hay baler or even a small cabinet shop. There are usually several antique tractor shows around here each year that are loaded with the engines and replacement parts. Great find; I sure you'll get it running and have lots of fun with it! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
This is truly a pleasure to watch. Not only do i have a great appreciation for quality old equipment, but i also work for Navistar - the company that now makes International trucks and engines. I cant wait to see the outcome. If it runs, ill share the videos with my co workers and see if it can go viral inside the company (roughly 4000 people at world HQ alone). I sincerely hope you get this thing running and put it to good use.
"The varied and interesting things we show on the channel... " I can honestly say that I never know quite what to expect when I watch one of your videos and that is a good thing.
I have a buddy with a small hit and miss engine, he hooked it up to an old White Mountain ice cream maker. It is very cool to watch and even cooler to eat the great ice cream it makes. Very nice series of video's I love them.
God you remind me of my father lord have mercy on him he would stay at things for hours and not let them best him thanks for that you brought back great memories god bless you
I have a 1953 Farmall Super C tractor. It took non-detergent 30W oil, but I gathered from several people and several different forums that they used non-detergent back then because that was all they had. Of course, that could've all been full of it. I ran regular 30 W through it once, then did the oil flush thing to clean it out more. Of course, the engine has an oil filter to catch anything that might come off. I've never had problems. When, and if, you do a restoration on it, you should be able to switch over to a modern oil that will protect it better and keep it clean. That's one of the nice things about old equipment. They don't need any specialty anything, and even the basic stuff is better than what they had back when it was built.
Great find cody, an older neighbor of my had about a dozen of these old engines in a machine shed in sizes from one horse to I beleive twelve horse. The twelve horse hand twin flywheel probably 5 foot tall, big motor for twelve hp. Thanks for the video.
Patience - the virtue that we all want in others, but not ourselves. I will wait for you to do it right and not rush the job; 70 years of non-use is a lot to over come. The engine internals look great!
can I possibly be the first person to thank you for volume adjusting your video? It was so nice to see you reduce the audio when you ran the vacuum. Terrific editing that makes watching your videos that much more enjoyable.
This is so exciting. And I love the suspense of waiting to see if you get it up and running. My hunch is yes, because you are so good at doing things well and really know what you are doing.
I got my hands on an old VW the engine was really bad shape. I drained every thing pulled the spark plugs filled it with diesel and turned the motor with a 3/4 hp drill. Cleaned it out slick as a whistle. I put some vegetable oil in the cylinders as it took a while to clean the pump leads and return openings. Drained it, put used oil in it ran it for a few minutes, drained it again and put fresh oil in it. It ran like a champ until it was stolen and wrecked.
Engine is in great shape! That gunk in the crankcase could be from the breaking down of the old type oil that was used back in the day. i agree there is alot to getting them running. At least there was no water in the crank.
"Killing me" is right! I'm working on my raised beds today but since I saw 1.0 this morning I keep ducking into my shed (I keep a laptop there) to check for updates. Well, I'm going to plant my tomatoes and check back for 3.0!
Don't care if there are if there are 100.0 videos on a subject, this is interesting to me. If my Dad was alive he would be watching with great interest alongside me.
Ah, you're killing me here Cody! I DID think we were going to see it running this time. This engine is really cool though, I can't wait to hear it fire up. I've been outside working on similar projects today myself. I couldn't just sit here and watch you do it without getting my hands dirty too.
Hey it's okay take a deep breath you will make it to the next installment... Funny how seeing stuff like this makes you want to do something creative... Can you guess what I have that would work with this engine? I missed out on an old long bed jointer that would have worked with this little beast
Cody! Awesome! Love every minute of it! and the suspense in intense! Can't wait to see here make smoke! Nevermind the editing suggestions of those who do not make videos of this caliber! The true "Wranglegroupies" dig the content at any length of video! Looking forward to 3.0!!
This is great, I love seeing old iron being brought back to life! I found this.... Antique 1909 "Hit and Miss" International Harvester L-A Engine runs again. looks to be a very similar model to the one you have Cody! I can't wait to see you hit and miss engine running, I'm sure you have lots of ideas of how you are going to use it! Cheers!
I would highly recommend using detergent oil. Yes, it will dislodge all the crud, but all you have to do is watch the color of the oil. After it has run a short time, the oil will darken. Drain it, refill, and repeat until it doesn't get dirty quickly. Detergent oils were invented to clean the carbon created from burning fuel from the internal components. Before detergent oil was available, one had to dismantle the engine periodically and clean the carbon manually. Best wishes and may God bless.
Fun one! I thought this might be more boring but found intriguing. I too love this old engines totally agree put oil in cylinder to lube up those old rings and lube topside those cylinder walls, in a way you hate to do it but are glad you did as these old engine starts can be quite abrasive, to say the least very cool old engine nice vid thanks you are very thoughtful on filming and conversation. Thank you very much Atta boy Cody
Oh man I wanted to see it run! Ever wonder if the motors and other things we make today, with the Love of someone yet unborn, will come back to life in 2084.
I don't mind the installments at all, but, just to warn you, anything more than a day between installments and you're going to have subscribers camping out on your front lawn! Great stuff!
My dad had the same engine for his self-made band / table saw. Mom complained about the noise but not after he had made her a sewing center. She said he could use it anytime he wanted after that "I'll use ear plugs and the noise be damned"
You sure got me watching till the very end ! you are killing me !! LOL I want that baby to Puff and Caught ! Awesome that you take so much care in those old Tools and Machines... that would be awesome to have just running a gen or water pump ! Old style of course... but none the less... a nice little general purpose motor !
Maybe I didn't get to see it run in 2.0, but I got to see it fire in the teaser :) You'll get it to run. I've been there and done that and you're right, it is a bit of work.
Great video and an interesting subject. I'm not sure what you intend to use this engine for but I do know that collectors prefer the original paint in tact on them as much as possible. Remember the old commercials where the older lady says, "WHERES THE BEEF??!"? your videos leave me saying the same thing. Please make them longer.
With the war and depression, I would imagine oil was pretty hard to come by back in those days. I was waiting for you to grab the plug wire and gently turn the flywheel so you could check the mag. That would earn you some good points there!
wranglerstar LMAOROTF!!! Sorry. It's like the funny bone. It's only funny when someone else hit it. ;) But you can laugh at me too. I took 24000 volts once when I was working on a old color tv high voltage rectifier. The shock didn't hurt. But it sure did when I hit the door jamb on the other side of the room.
yeah, you must have had a good ground. At least you know that part is good. I've done it several times but a D4 Cat pony motor really charged me up one time.
Please kick the length of your videos back up. Say around the 10 min mark at least. It will be worth the longer upload times. I feel it is being diced into smaller pieces and I am losing the thread of the work. Worse on the Timber Framing than these. Still excellent but less...useful.

Great old hit and miss engine, I have a major affection for that early machinery. Good luck getting her going.

I have to commend you on your patience!
Sweet find! Ive been wanting an old Lister for awhile now.

This series is probably my favorite.....but honestly the anticipation kills!!!! Keep it up man. Some really intertwining stuff
Hitchcock could ignite our curiosity at the outset of each film as you do in your videos. Nice job.
That is neat old engine, look forward to seeing it run.
Jason
I love old machines. Lets get this thing started.
Love these great old engines what a find .
Looking good so far. Can't wait to see it running.

just look at how thick the metal is on that thing! built to last forever.
We do enjoy these restorations!! Keep them coming!!
Great video, can't wait for 3.0. Please do more restorations!
Love it. Nice to see hit and miss restorations!
This is a McCormick deering engine from the 40s I think my grandpa has one. When the magneto is off a bit they are hard to start great find Cody
Oh man! Can't wait to see it run.
Don't care if there are if there are 100.0 videos on a subject, this is interesting to me. If my Dad was alive he would be watching with great interest alongside me.
Hurry!!!! I cant wait to see it run!!

Very cool! Now I can't wait to get back home and starting restoring my JD engine.
Cody! Awesome! Love every minute of it! and the suspense in intense! Can't wait to see here make smoke! Nevermind the editing suggestions of those who do not make videos of this caliber! The true "Wranglegroupies" dig the content at any length of video! Looking forward to 3.0!!
Thank you John,
The real thanks is to you for your patience in the making of these videos that so perfectly educate while entertaining!
This is great, I love seeing old iron being brought back to life!
I found this....
Antique 1909 "Hit and Miss" International Harvester L-A Engine runs again.
looks to be a very similar model to the one you have Cody!
I can't wait to see you hit and miss engine running, I'm sure you have lots of ideas of how you are going to use it!
Cheers!
Makes my shoulder hurt just watching..
Thank you!
Good goose grease Cody! Your vids are more suspenseful than any movie I've ever seen!
patience is a virtue they say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That could be a major work horse around the homestead. Now you got me hanging on two series this one and the timber framing.

Atta boy Cody
what a great project.
Mice seem to love old engines and machines.
Looking good though.
Oh man I wanted to see it run! Ever wonder if the motors and other things we make today, with the Love of someone yet unborn, will come back to life in 2084.
Not sure if things made today will last the next 20 years or not
Love it!! Anticipation like a cliff hanger!!!🤗
Great video! can't wait for 3.0
I don't mind the installments at all, but, just to warn you, anything more than a day between installments and you're going to have subscribers camping out on your front lawn! Great stuff!
At 2:50 I see copper-coat, Big pat on the back for Cody. As usual everything done well with lots of care and attention to detail.
Thanks for the tease.
That looks like fun . love doing that stuff. you will feel great when you get it running
Love it. Can't wait for the next.
Maybe its taking longer due to it being so "coldly". awesome find and even better restoring. Thanks for sharing.
My dad had the same engine for his self-made band / table saw. Mom complained about the noise but not after he had made her a sewing center. She said he could use it anytime he wanted after that "I'll use ear plugs and the noise be damned"
another nice find. good for you! i know you will put it to good use. enjoy.
You sure got me watching till the very end ! you are killing me !! LOL
I want that baby to Puff and Caught !
Awesome that you take so much care in those old Tools and Machines... that would be awesome to have just running a gen or water pump ! Old style of course... but none the less... a nice little general purpose motor !
The suspense is awesome.
I hate multi part series videos like this. But it does give me something to look forward to. Keep up to good work.
Keep the vids coming. I am loving this motor rebuild!
Love videos like this!
Treat that spark plug like gold. You won't find one at the local auto parts store! Cool old stationary engine!
This is cool. Makes me want to go get an engine like this. I just need something for it to power...
Love it! I can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.
Great the cleaner you get it the better it runs!
I have an LA that needs to be restored. Also have a brand new water pump jack attachment for it. Now for some time....
now you have motivated me to find myself one of these engines!
Maybe I didn't get to see it run in 2.0, but I got to see it fire in the teaser :) You'll get it to run. I've been there and done that and you're right, it is a bit of work.
And to find some work for that little engine will be a lot of fun to figure out too.
Thanks
great finds man great finds.
Great video and an interesting subject. I'm not sure what you intend to use this engine for but I do know that collectors prefer the original paint in tact on them as much as possible.
Remember the old commercials where the older lady says, "WHERES THE BEEF??!"? your videos leave me saying the same thing. Please make them longer.
Excellent.
Very cool. I want to restore an old hit or miss but there real hard to find. Good luck with it.
Awesome!
The suspense is killing me!
great stuff thanks
The suspense is killing me!
Cody the cliffhanger!
I tell you who is a great RUclipsr who is an abundance of information on old Hit N Miss engines... Shopdogsam
Waiting to see this thing run !!
Keep it up young man!
Interested to see what you are going to use this for! Don't forget to show us how you sharpen a crosscut saw BTW!
great find and I can't believe all the bedding those mice left behind.
With the war and depression, I would imagine oil was pretty hard to come by back in those days. I was waiting for you to grab the plug wire and gently turn the flywheel so you could check the mag. That would earn you some good points there!
I did this, The shock paralyzed my arm, It still hurts,
wranglerstar LMAOROTF!!! Sorry. It's like the funny bone. It's only funny when someone else hit it. ;) But you can laugh at me too.

What I'm curious to know is what you're planning on using it for Cody? :)
Can't wait to see her go. Fun fact did u know these engines will run on kerosene. Defineatly a great find glad to see it being brought back to life.
Cody we need to see the 3.0 I guess if we don't see it soon I will have to come visit you lol
Man! I knew the vid was too short to see it run!
Looking good as always
cool project
