    There's simply nothing more satisfying than rebuilding a seized or worn out engine. When it coughs back to life post rebuild, it's a great feeling.
    I just read that Briggs and Stratton was purchased out of bankruptcy by an investment group. This group has the capitol, experience and also hired a new CEO to hopefully get it back on the right path for decades of success. American's need to keep these legacy companies alive! So many have folded or shipped ALL their manufacturing overseas. WE all need to support the remaining American manufacturing companies that keep Americans employed.

      VW Purist, the problem is the extremely high cost of union labor is why so many have either folded or gone overseas. While I realize people need to make a decent wage sometimes these unions just get outrageously greedy. A great example is what happened to Eastern Airlines. The company was in trouble and trying to stay afloat but the moronic unions refused to back off and help until the company could get back on stable ground. Eastern is now just a memory of what was once one of the premier airlines in the US. When the Obama administration started bailing out the big three auto companies, Ford told them "Thanks but no thanks" as their unions realized they had to work with Ford in order to survive and they did. GM took the money and is now almost as bad as before because the greedy unions keep demanding more while producing some of the crappiest vehicles ever seen on American highways. Chrysler wound up being bought out by Fiat and now we only have Ford and GM as American companies. Unions are like dinosaurs and should have long since gone the same way. They've outlived their usefulness and are just shoving more and more companies and jobs overseas. They NEVER seem to learn.

    • @warbirdwf
      @warbirdwf 3 года назад

      @@richardcline1337 Richard, I'm 100% in agreement about unions. They've succeeded in driving many companies out of business or shipping their manufacturing overseas. Detroit is a union city. Look at it now. How many Detroit jobs were moved to Mexico due to the unions wanting to pay an unskilled union worker $35 an hour plus benefits to put a bolt in a bumper on the assembly line. Most foreign car company factories in the USA are in non-union states deep in the south. Unions need to go the way of pensions. The other last century company killer.

I don't see any battery powered engines or lawn and garden equipment. As America goes greener, I see their fossil fuel engine sale opportunities drying up. They need to get this figured out quickly.
      I've transitioned to battery powered lawn blowers, hedge trimmers, etc. I did because they are so much less hassle than mixing gas, storing gas, the finicky engines, etc. I wouldn't go back to fossil fuel powered lawn/garden equipment.

      It needs refabricating. It still needs a lot of work to get it in perfect restored condition. The clutch needs rebuilding, the steering gears are all worn out and would need remaking, ideally the whole machine would need fully dismantling and sandblasting inc the gearbox. The front grille would be very difficult to manufacture without special machines. So I won't say it will never be restored but after spending 4 months working on this video I need to move onto other machines first. Thanks for watching

    Just a suggestion for your Sanding Procedure on the Granite Block. 1. Choosing a piece or Granite or Marble... perfect, I have used a Piece of Tempered Glass for years. Works great too. For the Sand Paper, I have found it more effective to use some thread cutting oil spread on the sand paper. It keeps your work piece from "Jumping" on a small fold in the paper, and forces the paper to smooth out. Plus I only use the paper for one time use. So after the block and cylinder head, I toss it into the garbage. Sometimes save a small piece for a stubborn gasket. Just a suggestion.

    Restored to near original condition. 100 points. Good for another 50 years.
    P.S. Glad to see the Barnyard Dazzle E42 camo scheme was retained. Cornwall mud and crumbly rust over red fade. Perfect.

    50:38 the hydraulic press is so nice it gave those bearings a good luck kiss. Maximum anxiety at 56:27

    Nice work. I love the hot degreaser. And you went one step further with the sandblaster. And you cleaned threads by hand. Most use a drill!

    I like that you use the same piece of lawn to test your projects. You need a sign for it - ‘The Machinery Restorer Proving Grounds’.

      I'm staunch Kohler engine guy, however I won't kick a Briggs And Straton engine . I'll thank them over a Tecumseh or definatly over an Onan engine.

    There's just something extremely satisfying about laying back and just listening to the sound of all the different birds featuring the crank of ratchets, the clatter of tools, the tapping of hammers, then the grinders come out and scare the life out of you😂😂😂🙄🙄

    On seized engines, fill the cylinder with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for a week... The rings will also be unstuck... We have saved countless engines this way... Love how you keep them original...

    hahaha when you were winding the pull cord, and you tugged on it to test it, I was expecting you to do a "blub blub blub" sound like we all did as kids and hot wheels. made me giggle thinking about it

    I enjoyed watching somebody else do it instead of me. Maybe a homemade grill and just some rust-oLeum with paint brush. Give it a little shine. Sounds good.

    I have the exact same motor on my rototiller. Was hoping you would show how to rebuild the carb but alas you got a new one. I think I bought it in 1981 ish. Still have it still use it. Great little motor.

      Hi Dan I have rebuilt many of these carburettors in my other videos. Check out the other full engine rebuilds or the Wheelhorse lawn ranger video.
