      @themadmailler  7 лет назад +4

      thanks! If i put my ear to the bearings, i can hear a slight "click" as the bearing loads and unloads. Just about perfect as far as i'm concerned. There's always shims to remove too.

    ARTISTRY ON VIDEO - to you blokes and generations before. In the early 80's in a country town, my service club got a 1920's tractor restarted after weeks of sourcing tyres (English spelling) from farmers as well as a few weeks of constant lubricant soaking before start date. Worked within say 30 seconds on first try. It was part of our town's yearly parade that year. Preserve, preserve.

    That was cool. I had never been exposed to these engines in my youth. Bet your bottom dollar I would have been deep into these if things had been different. I had all sorts of engines apart and back together.... and to run again, all but a twin Onan that sat exposed to the elements to long but sure was fun tearing it to bits.

    Good video. Its clear that you're being honest when you say that this is the first start in all those years. Its annoying how lots of people on RUclips with old engines claim that the engine "hasn't started in X years" only for the engine to start up like it ran 5 minutes before. You can tell that those people are just lying since almost nothing starts up on the first try after a few years.

Not half as much fun as this, this has to be one of the best start up vids I have seen you put it all in warts and all goodonya . I take it that this engine was made to be bolted down and not a mobile due to the very bad balance or is this due to some component missing. Good luck take care and most of all have fun. from the land down under
