A free pile with an almost full roll of #12/2 NM with ground? Mustie, you are one lucky dude!
Wife: why dont you take the interstate anymore? Me: there are no Free piles on the instrstate. Wife: sigh.
😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅👍exactly
Gotta tell ya, watching your videos has inspired me. We had a council cleanup here in Moss Vale, Australia, which is about the only time you see free piles, and took home a Yard King 138cc mower and a line trimmer. The mower had some handle bolts missing and a small hole in the plastic fuel tank, which I was able to address without any problems. Took down the carb and cleaned it and it runs really well. The line trimmer needed a bit of love with the thing being stored for years with gas in the tank, which had evaporated and the ethanol had turned to tar. So lots of cleaning out the tank, and carb, replaced the fuel lines, filter and gas cap, and it, too, came back to life. Cost me $6 AUD. Couldn't have done it without ya, Thanks.
Excellent score, Martin!! 😃
Was that a 2 Fosters project?
Only e10 or e85 has ethanol in Australia. Try again.
It's called empowerment. It's fun too.
Good on ya, dude!
@@majesticskeever
And it's somewhat cheaper than 95, so people buy it for their mower. Most servos with E10 don't have a non-ethanol fuel below 95, so if your preferred servo carries E10, and you don't know any better, you're putting that in the mower.
Mustie will forever be the best person to hang out with in the garage, knowledge, awesome stories, a great time
Man I love the stories you tell while filming what you do. They're almost as good as watching you fix up old junk. Always look forward to mustie1 Sunday postings.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Thanks Mustie1!
That’s a Echo Chainsaw By Kieoritz Corporation. Re-Branded as a John Deere. 451 is the Model I Think. 1976 Is a Wild Guess for the Date
I was going to comment this same thing! 😄 Thanks
There needs to be a story time special with musty sr!
oh what vi are different, i don like de mumbling stories
I feel like I'm in a small engine repair class, and Mustie is the instructor. I always learn something new when I watch your channel. Very informative. And, well photographed and edited, we appreciate your effort. Thanks
What he said. Thanks, Darren!
Your description of growing up burning wood and coal sure brought back memories. We too burned wood/coal. Had heat in two rooms. Kitchen and bathroom. Banking the fire every night. Getting up at 5 am to get the fire back up. Shaking down the shaker grate in the morning. And recharging with wood and coal. Taking out the ashes every morning and spreading on the compost pile. Cutting and chopping lots and LOTS of firewood. Dad would get coal in larger chunks as it was cheaper. My brother and I would use sledge hammers to break it down then shovel down the coal shoot. Always smelled like wood smoke and coal dust. Kids at school would make fun of us for how we smelled and how stained/rough our hands were. How dirty our boots were. When I got to boot camp after high school couldn’t believe I didn’t have to get up and tend the stove. Actually got to sleep in until 530am. Still woke up at 5 and silently got ready for am PT. Always the first one out of the barracks, bunk made, foot locker squared away. About day 4 or 5 of boot camp, DS asked me, “You’re a farm boy right?” “YES SERGEANT!” He winked at me and said, “Me too” Then chewed me out for some perceived infraction. That was a long time ago. Thanks for the videos and the commentary. Hadn’t thought about those things in over 45 years.
I just looked up Cross Castle. Apparently it cost $1.5m to build back in 1907, and the family sold it for just $155,000 in 1919. 12 people were employed full time just to cut wood for the fires!
I had to look it up as well!! He is a great story teller.
That's a huge depreciation. That's worse than a Mercedes Benz depreciates.
war and depression
Hey, Mustie! I was raised in Passaic, NJ and used to go to Greenwood Lake when the drinking age in NY was 18. The cops used to wait for us on Clinton Rd as we came out of NY and try to pick us off for DUI. I never got caught but some of my friends did. That was back in early 70's. To quote an old song: "Those were the days my friend".
My old stomping grounds in the 60-70's also fun place to grow up.
I grew up in Summit New Jersey and we'd take the train into the City and hit the bars to get loaded when we were underage. The only ID we ever needed was cold hard cash. If you could pay for drinks they'd serve us. We loved it. Then going home we'd buy beers in a deli and brown bag those on the train. We were delinquents.
Probably just a normal comment for you, but i watch Alot of youtubers fixing everuthing from chainsaws to 80 tons excavators, but im absolutely looking more forward to your videos. Its just like fixing things with a best friend IRL. Thanks for being you, and showing us a great time bud! Regards from Norway!
Mustie is the best - he's got a great, relaxed personality, doesn't use annoying music in his videos, knows what he's talking about and takes the time to explain things while casually chatting to his viewers. Can't really fault the guy, this is easily my favorite repair/maintenance channel.
Helt enig. It's a pity that we don't have the same culture in Norway with free stuff at the side of the road. Every thing goes to the recycle centers and we are not allowed to pick anything there.
@@frank-t6857 that sucks...
Been watching Darren for years now.. Always great content and dialogue. The dialogue really makes it. You should also like Rainman Rays repairs.. Another channel I watch religiously. Daily content too.
🇳🇴🇳🇴
This video brought back the nostalgia of your home shop videos a little bit. Good times.
Those JD saws were made by Echo (made in Japan). I've worked on a bunch of them.
$100 roll Romex right off the bat. Can't beat that.
Ive been here, a subscriber for years and am super impressed with how little your channel has changed over time , I've seen so much growth but so little change. Awesome dude and a awesome time hanging out in the shop. I thank you Darren for all the great memories and learning experiences. I started watching when I was about 17 or so and never miss a video! Not asking for any praise I'm just expressing how great you and your content is!! Keep it up!
Wow, thank you!
@@mustie1 my guess is poulon or scagg. The only reason for it to say John deere is advertising
Mustie1 - Unlike most chainsaw bars, the one on that wee John Deere has a "right way" and a "wrong way" to mount. Currently it is the right way round at the start of the video! From memory they were a low kickback design from Oregon. The saw is a Kioritz Echo - built and branded for John Deere. There are collectors for the JD and Echo saws.
You would not have coil for a JD66SV
I agree it’s an early Echo , with cleaning up it will be a good running saw.
Japanese saw.
My favorite part of these videos is the way Mustie just laughs whenever he comes across something that is crusty or busted on whatever he is working on. Great content, love watching!
You're a really good story teller, Darren.
Better than. Steven king
I would listen to mustie1 story podcast!
@@Mitsubishigarage me too.
1:00:20 talk about realism, as soon as the screen got splashed I jerked my head back! What a chuckle! Good work Mustie1…
@@geoffquickfall Sorry i'm a bit late Geoff (3 weeks late). Came to say the same thing. We have been bumped into, dropped, knocked and near-misses, but I think this is the first time we got a full squirt in the eye. And the vision was blurred as the liquid ran down the lens, felt like I had been blinded. 😉
Yes, funny that it almost felt real. Good on ya.
Curb treasure is always the best. Sounds like that's got a little life left in it
This saw is the same as the echo 452vl. It has an auto oiler as well. It also has points ignition. On echos, the VL is vibration dampen, and the EVL is electronic ignition and vibration dampening. Cool saw.
I have a JD 66SV. I have been looking for a coil.
Yup, I own Echo's for the last 40 plus years and imo right up there with the Steelie... the 14'', was my first & the best, extremely light as a feather, which did 75% of the work. & loved the re fueling & oil being on the top...
I still have my Echo after 50y
Years
Starts on the first pull every time
6am CST on A Sunday means Mustie1 video. Coffee ready to watch a video
Home of the Highlanders, class of '85!
Mustie1, great to hear these stories, 100% facts. I'm from the same neck of the woods, Northern NJ. So cool to hear the stories continue to carry the legend. Clinton Road and the history behind it are still alive and well!! Keep the stories alive! Cheers!😎
I grew up in New Jersey and absolutely know about Clinton Road. Your story made me smile... huge smile.😄
How Mustie keeps his shop clean considering the flying dirt, dust, oil, and rodent remains is most impressive.
As a young man I worked in a wood and metal shop that built restaurant tables and booths. It takes a lot of compressed air and push brooms to keep it clean. The last hour or so of the workday was for clean-up. The shop manager/co-owner would do a walk through inspection on occasion and if the shop wasn’t clean enough we couldn’t punch out on the time clock and get our weekly paychecks. Inspections were usually on Thursday. We worked 4, 10 hour days. So on Thursday we made sure to clean very well because a bunch of you folks wanted those paychecks and start to party for our 3 day weekend!😂
How he keeps his you tube account active is the biggest question!!!!!
When I worked at a outdoor equipment dealer we used a backpack blower to clean the shop. Open the door and blow it all outside.
@@dennisphilbrick1623 ? Why you say that?
@@dennisphilbrick1623 Quite simple: he is a project man who does this find/repair/sometimes flip it for profit scheme on the regular and he keeps the camera on. That's how he does it and he found it out makes him more and more money as the channel grows. No big mystery there--he's one of the busiest men out there
I always enjoy listening to Mustie's stories while he's working on stuff 🙂
Definitely. The stories are brilliant
"let's see how it works"..few content providers say that..and like when Mustie takes that extra step..knowledge and understanding is the best teacher..thx Mustie
1989, i was 9 years old, was in the forrest and helping my stepdad felling some timber, my job was to take care of the axes and the wedges and to pay attention, and ofc helping around. my stepdad was adjusting on his jonsered 535 silvertop, he used to say that when it's right it sings on top. I now have that saw on the shelf along with several other chansaws, and i listen for that singing on top when i need to adjust a bit when i'm in the forrest.
On the end of the bar, there is a small hole next to the sprocket. I'll usually put the tip of my grease gun against it and give it a squirt. The bar chain oil doesn't get down to that bearing, so a bit of tacky grease helps.
I occasionally take the bar and chain off for a full cleaning of sawdust in the bar track and sprocket area. After it's clean, I'll dump an ounce out so of oil on the side of the bar and work it into the track and sprocket area. Then reattach to the saw with the chain and dribble a little more on. Then after a few minutes of setting I'll fire it up to fling off the excess and it's good to go. I also turn my oilers up to max output. Cheaper to use more oil than burning up motors and bar/chain combos
Usually in the fall people would come into the shop with their chainsaws (not this vintage though) and complain about it not running after they got it started. The primary reason for that usually was because the muffler was packed with residue from the 2-cycle oil. A quick burnout of the spark arrestor with a propane torch and a saw would run after starting, then we sold them a chain sharpening, bar, or whatever we found looking it over. It wasn't to gouge them, but homeowners as a rule need guidance on small engines to steer them toward repairs they wouldn't necessarily think to do themselves. We never pushed, but more often than not they would go with our suggestions. Our best day was when I processed 300 repair tickets and called back 150 the same day to pick their equipment up. There were 3 small engine repair mechanics and one specifically for the 2-Cycle jobs. No piles are available here on the curb like this, but my family does attend estate sales and often get things like this that just need a little bit of care, and then we turn around and sell them.
Awhile back my dad's weed eator just stopped running one day and I looked at it and that's what it was the spark arrestor was clogged, luckily it was removable so I cleaned it and it ran like brand new
Yeah I had a Stihl chainsaw and it was running terrible and I bought another $2 carburetor for that didn't help. Until I looked in the spark arrestor which was packed full of look like lava rocks 😦
if the spark screen is plugged they use shit oil and/or too much.
@@alexstromberg7696 yeah that's my idea if a little oil in the gas is good maybe a little more oil will protect it more. 🤔😦
I used to pour diesel or kerosene In the mufflers and burn em out
I literally jumped and closed my eyes when that carb cleaner hit the camera. From now on, I'm wearing safety googles when I watch Mustie. ;)
I kinda feel sorry for modern teens - they will never know the fun of riding around with 8-9 people in a '65 Ford Country Sedan, everyone chipping in a quarter or 50 cents to buy gas and have an older sibling pick up a sixer or two so you could ride out to the old deserted mansion in the middle of a field and hang out. If you were lucky you could get a young lovely to squeeze in beside you for the ride back. Them was the days!
The issue with fueling, if you put the fuel screws back the way you wrote down, you actually flipped them so they're in the wrong places. Watch carefully =)
That fluid that came out of the chain oiler reservoir looked more like transmission fluid,.....that could be part of the issue too. Way too thin! Good fix Darren.
Thought the same, plus I have never seen red bar oil.
Yep, trans fluid for sure
@@wallacejeffery5786 I do use my used tranny fluid for alot of things, especially when using my drill press. Probably fine for bar lube too. You will just need alot of it. lol
@@duckhunter8387 I've never seen bar and chain oil that wasn't red. Of course, I don't saw much last 20-odd years, but the 70's, 80's, 90's, anything I ever bought was tinted red.
@@stanpatterson5033 Interesting!
FYI the flat file in the kit is for lowering the rakers as the chain wears, but certainly can be used to clean up the bar as well.
That's a great little saw to have when you get your big saw pinched in a tree. I always have a little backup around. Great video.
The tone of your voice is so relaxing, mustie, it’s like a balm especially when your up to your elbows in things involving old vw, and lots of rust,
70s in the UK and the miners strikes we as kids would walk the train lines that came from the mines ( NE England) and fill bags up with dropped coal along the lines. Downside was a few stones would get put into the bags ( we got bored shitless picking coal) so sometimes a stone would get dumped into the fire and they would explode and fly out like a bullet! Our house was bloody freezing in the winter with only a coal fire and back boiler for hot water. Upstairs was so so cold and years before modern gas central heating systems.
All the stuff you're describing about the area of North Jersey you grew up in, I heard all the same stories about the Pine Barrens in South Jersey. We would call the people living in the Pine Barrens "Pineys" The Pine Barrens are huge and at a minimum go well into central Jersey. I like camping in the Pine Barrens. Lots of fun.
Nothing runs like a Deere Mustie!. Love your video my guy. Thank you for a relaxing Sunday
Love the dancing bottles on the table in the back ground 👍
We love the old stories when you were growing up.
Echo saw / kioritz corp... A good tool is a timberline chain sharpener. It clamps on the bar & a hand crank turns a carbide cutter, right angles every time.
homelite
@@Bill-xc8le Yah there are J.d Homelites, this ones Kioritz @ 49:35
Made by Echo. Same as their CS452VL. Apparently the oiler is automatic with manual override. If it had a chain brake it would be a beast.
The brake burnt out on my saw years ago. I don't need brakes on a chainsaw. I just need them to go.
Yep it does have both, like most older saws
My 750EVL is a beast! Almost 80 CC’s…..
Mustie reminds me so much of myself, just love tinkering with small engine machines it's so much joy.
Grew up in Ringwood, my sister is still in West Milford. That Newark watershed area was a GREAT place to grow up. You probably knew my brother in law.
I have never owned a chain saw, but I learned so much about the blade, adjusting, sharpening, etc. Thanks Darren!
Chainsaws don't have "blades", knives have blades, chainsaws have bars.
When sharpening a chain. there are usually two cutters going the same way. That is your starting point, and when you reach those two cutters again you know that side is done. Then sharpen the opposite facing cutters, again using those same facing cutters as a starting point.
That oiler is like the Morphine button in the hospital. You can hit it all you want but only get a dose when it's time.
😏
My father's chore as a boy was taking the ashes out of the coal fired heater and this was in Philadelphia, but it was in the 40s. The main choices back then was purchase steam generated in a central plant or coal. My father used to tell me how when his neighbor's steam pipes would fail, the whole house would fill with steam.
A lot of older homes in places like Philadelphia have a coal storage room in the basement under the front porch. There would be a window facing the street (under the porch) where the coal would be loaded into the house.
Made by Kioritz per the tag. They made the good, and older Echo equipment.
Great video
Good Morning from the Colorado Rockies! Coffee and Mustie1. No better way to start a Sunday morning!
Agreed lol Cheers David.
Nothing like a mustie video to brighten your day up 👍🏽👍🏽👌🏅
Sounds like we both had the same coal stove! . . I held onto mine just in case coal ever becomes affordable again. Much more convenient than wood. Great video!
That's a Kioritz, which was the parent company of Echo. Now known as Yamabiko. They still make Echo, Shindaiwa, etc.
Hi Mustie, on almost all two stroke, the needle closest to the engine is low mixture, and initial setting is 1 1/2 turns for low, and 3/4 for high. Love watching you!!!
Didn't read all the comments. If already said sorry. That saw is made for john deere by Echo. Very nice Saws. Little on the heavy side but they are made of steel instead of Plastic. Keep the videos coming. Ron B Michigan
Mustie, THANX for the explainations an pointing to the parts.
Been enjoying your videos for years.
You make me laugh when I watch you videos.
Bonus episode, not only do we get to check out and fix a John Deere chainsaw acquired free, but Mustie1 tells us more about his youth in what sounds like an ideal basis for a John Landis or Steven Spielberg coming of age movie 😂😂
Given the castle story, more like a Stephen King coming of age horror film?
@@Jesselovespinball it wasn't the pine barrens, that's in southern Jersey. It was North Jersey.
@@Jesselovespinballlike the Jersey Devil.
There's actually a movie, "Class Action Park" about the place he talked about previously.
59:56 damn it mustie you got carb cleaner in my eye 🔥🔥
Nice recovery job! Generally speaking, at least for newer saws, on the carb, you want the "L" adjustment a tad on the rich side, so it will sit and idle for hours, and then when you pull the trigger, right to full speed. The "H" adjustment is pretty much for how fast the chain will go. So you can actually adjust the carb to run the motor to full, and all the way to destruction. So control the top speed with the H adjustment. Just want to share some info I've gleaned over the years working on them. :)
Doesnt matter what you are fixing, you make it interesting. You could fix breakfast and it would get a zillion likes.
That style of John Deere chainsaw is fantastic. I’ve used them a lot and it seems like every farmer in my area has one lol
I sympathize with the vision challenges. Apparently it is common for most men to need close up vision assistance from about 43/44 yrs.
Got me good right about then. Hasn't got much worse since and 71 yrs young now😃🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺. Cheers, Tony

Nothing runs like a Deere! Thanks Mustie! 😀👍
I've got one kind of like that, it was my Grandfathers saw. It's so old there isn't even a muffler, just a resonator box (?) thing, definitely hearing protection required, it has the manual oiler as well. It calls for gas/oil ratio of 24/1. I found the serial # and it dates to 1965 or 67. I cleaned it up a few years ago and it's a tree eating monster. I've got a newer saw I use 90% of the time but if I have something big that requires more power I drag out the old monster, it never disappoints. Heavy, and noisy but it gets the job done in no time!
...good ole bark box 👍🏻💪😆
A cup of tea and a mustie video on a Sunday early pm here in Norwich uk… perfect, thank you..
I absolutely love the stories of old times . You sure know how to keep a guy tuned in
Hello mustie1. I also live in New Jersey I love hearing the old stories about our state. Remember Clinton road had the ghost stories of that if you put baby powder on the bumper of your car and put it in neutral that the car would get pushed up the road and when you got out you saw handprints on your bumper? Those were good times
Loved the story about the old castle. They used to have Jungle Habitat by the lake and there were all sorts of stories of animals getting lose and dying in the winter. The chainsaw saying Canada and Japan on it is similar to band instruments from the 80’s and 90’s. Yamaha USA would be parts manufactured in Japan but assembled in the US. Then when that got too expensive assembly went to Canada, then Mexico, Taiwan and finally good old China. I have a 38 year old John Deere 2 stage snowblower. It was my Dads and I had to have it when he passed. I emptied the gas tank on it and it’s been in the garage for years now. Lots of stuff I’d like to get to but I don’t have the time. Sax
Good old China??
@@shannonwittman950 our balloon buddies…lol
That saw was built for Deere by Echo (Kioritz) in Japan. Probably early 70’s since no chain brake. I had an Echo 302 very similar to this. Same exact design, just smaller.
Makes me want to go out and work on my old saw that hasn’t been run in 5 years .
A sensei. A master craftsman. A mazing.
My Sunday mornings start with a hot cup of strong coffee and a new vid from Mustie!!! Thanks man!!!!!👍
ok....who else jumped when that spray hit the camera? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s the reason I went to comment section.
😎👍
It has the same effect as a spider jump scare video.
Thanks Darren; I enjoy your stories - makes me feel I’m watching over your shoulder and getting to know you a bit better.
I was fully invested until you said "braid blake" hahaaa, good job sir and a good find too.
I lived for 14 years near Newark Watershed 1999-2013, Newfoundland, around the corner from Clinton Rd, and Oak Ridge. My favorite part of NJ.
I have that exact chainsaw.. said so on the last video when you showed this AMAZING free pile!! I love finding stuff like that!!! That romex is like seriously 150 bucks!!
I watched that same documentary which featured the area I am from in the Pacific Northwest. My folks place still had tree stumps from 100 years prior where you could still see the notches for the spring boards the loggers stood on while they ran the crosscut saw (misery whip) back and forth across the tree. Those stumps averaged 8 foot in diameter across the butt.
I jumped out of my seat when that brake cleaner hit the camera. I've got to wear safety glasses when I watch Mustie, now 😄
As always, extra cool.
Got to where I look forward to Sunday , and your video.
Genius. Never cease to amaze. Thank you for creating and posting these videos. You inspire me to get out there and get things done.
Good morning Mustie family time for coffee and hang out with Darren in the shop.
No matter the outcome your videos never suck brother
I come for the displays of masterful mechanical empathy but love the stories of youth. No free piles here (well, the neighbours did put out a coffee table once I snagged for the shed) but I do look for old engines at the local tip shop to buy and play with.
Cool Clinton Road story, thanks for sharing it with us!
Good job, Mustie...not too bad for a clapped out chain. I believe Kioritz makes Echo...which are still pretty popular, and not too bad of chainsaws.
Mustie1, how do you always give us good views to everything you are doing? You get shots of impossible angles so we see exactly what your doing. I have been following you for years and your second to none. Good stuff man. I feel like i am on the side of you.
The way I flinched when the carb cleaner came at my face was intense. I've had that in my eye before, never a fun time.
Super video Darren. You really do have a lot of patience and knowledge. Many thanks.
I have a John Deere weedwaker - really an Echo. I don't know how old it is.
Bought it at a Yard Sale and put on a new carb and runs good. Been using
it a few years now. I'm with you on the reading glasses buddy. I can't do
anything it seems without them anymore. I'm half way through this one, but
I'm sure you will get it running. These older machines just work with a
little love. Cheers! 🍻 -Al
I was thinking echo as well
I wish we had free piles like this. That saw looks a lot like a homelite to me
a gussied up Super XL by the look
It is Made by echo. Some john deeres were homelites, but this is made by echo. Same as an echo 452vl
@Madison Hadley you're definitely right. Looks a lot better in Echo colors, only older saws I've been around were McColluch Mac saws, I prefer my huskies now
I had a snapper chainsaw and it was a made by homelite forget which model it was it was a while ago.
@@madisonhadley7906 Yep. I've got a 452vl in the original case with original bar and purchase receipt. I kinda had a fetish for collecting saws years ago. My "work" saws are a 500vl and a 51sv. I love em.
Been watching you for about 6 yrs. The first one was you getting rusty out of the field. Great job and please don't stop. I know a video is a lot of work..
Those free piles are great, more people should do that!
At least for a few days, before dumping it into the trash.
Yay, story time with Mustie! That takes care of the Sunday night movie, hee! Wow, and this actually brought back a bunch of memories too, from the time I had a week-long course at a forestry school like... 27 years ago to learn handling chainsaws and we had to do all this type of maintenance and all - I most remember the pyramid-shaped files for filing the teeth of the chain; they'd REALLY get on your case if you used a regular flat file, ha. Can't say I remember oilers being on the saws we used, but I do remember they did all have a chainbreak alright! And I remember I once got my saw stuck in a tree that was leaning to one side quite a bit and I cut the wedge for making it fall on the side the tree was leaning away from... 😬
Yes, I can't imagine what it was like to cut a whole winters firewood by hand. I do have an old 2 man saw hanging in the barn but it is strictly ornamental!
Thanks for delving into the many dark secrets of the chainsaw . I appreciate it .
Thanks for the complete breakdown, a lot of guys only show the fuel aspect of repair .
The day just got better with a Mustie1 video
Good Morning everyone.
Good morning to you good Sir.
Good morning sir from the UK
@@chrispbacon3042good morning to everyone. We are 13 hours ahead of mustie time over here. I will watch this video while preparing to go to bed ☺️
That's a good saw,better than the garbage they sell nowadays.
Back in the early 80's, my dad would get off work from the coal mine in the morn8ng and pick me up around 8 am . We would meet my uncle and log untill 3pm. Then he went back to bed and be back underground , digging coal at 11pm. Anyway, he bought a brandnew john deere , big chainsaw. We went cutting pine one ealy saturday morning , that darned newish saw would not start. He got mad as a hornet and slung that saw at a huge pine stump and busted that saw into 4 or 5 pieces.😢. When you work yourself half to death and lose your temper. He is 78 now and still works. He doesnt need to work , he is doing much better than most people. Its keeping him alive and healthy so all is good
Looks like a pioneer 👍👍👍😁
Another brilliant video Darren, I'm a car person but the way that you come across on your videos, like we're helping you out, makes me interested in whatever you are working on.
Sadly here in the UK we don't have free piles otherwise I'd be bringing home all sorts of projects.
At least I've learnt from you how to revive long stood engines... Keep up the fantastic work
Sometimes you can find stuff for free in builders skips. I found a DeWalt brushless cordless drill in a skip and a Makita drill in another. The DeWalt's motor was burnt out. £50 for a new motor and it works perfectly. The Makita just needed taking apart and cleaning. Both these drills cost £150+ new. Also regularly find decent wood.
Never found any petrol powered tools though.
