I think that was my favourite video ever. It reminded me of trying to start single cylinder motorbikes in the past. It brought a real smile to my face.
Yay !!!!!! Way to go. How exciting for you guys... My wife gave some weird looks as I was clapping with joy on your success.... That's some feel good stuff right there.
I know you felt great when it started....I know I DID......I learned SO much about old engines from these FIVE videos....thanks so much for doing these, it was great !
Thank you for the entertainment, way better than watching anything on tv. At first viewing, one would think there is a limited amount of knowledge to be gleamed from your videos. But your videos are filled with good values, hard work and perseverance we have lost over the years in our society. I am glad to of found your channel. Keep up the videos and thanks again
Oh the look on your face as you paused for the last time before it started. "The calm before the storm" Then your beaming smile when your wife came into your view to see the commotion too... my smile was almost as big.
Very excited to see that engine fire up! As a master auto mechanic for nearly 40 years and trained in very new technology, I still love to see the engineering of technology from every era. Excellent job!
Just getting into these engines and I can say that this series of videos probably saved me a hundred hours of frustration. I was just getting ready to build an elevated gas tank. Won't do that now. The deal that you did with the mirror - wow! That saved me. I will be watching this series again.
I like the way you go throw step by step how you made it run. I also like your comments on how to make things work . Thanks again Al Fendley from Canada
I admire your stick to it attitude and willingness to learn. I don't do this type of work, but I really appreciate bringing old back to life. Great Job!!
The best part of this video was the look on your face when it first started. It sounded just fine to me. I used to have old John Deer 40 Utility, I called my time machine because when ever I was on I felt I was transported back in time. Jason
Way to go Cody! I love to see older machines up and running again. They may not be as smooth or as safe as modern ones but something about the sound and all of the moving parts facinates me.
Awesome job, I was hoping you would get it started. After seeing it run, it gives me new respect for the older generation having to deal with what we consider such crude machinery. Every time you put your hand on the top of it, I got nervous you might put it too close to the flywheel. Great ending to the series.
I knew you could do it! It needs to be idled down so it runs less slowly. My dad, grandpa and brothers all have some of these engines and this made me feel 'at home.' Thanks for sharing all of your videos.
What an accomplishment! Congrats on getting it going Cody. Can't wait to see how you put it to good use. Very great video series on the old engine. Learned alot from it. Thank you.
What a blast! Well worth the wait. Next, you can use an old starter that works, along with an old car battery,and create your own electric starting system for her! No more sore shoulders and arms!! I truly enjoyed this.
I know I'm way behind you on this but I so enjoyed watching your journey. I was blessed as a small boy and then a young man in the Navy to get to work on several of these types of engines and some old steam reciprocating pumps on my first ship. I knew it was flooded (white smoke etc) but you couldn't hear me rooting you on and offering advice. LOL My wife came in and asked who I was yelling and laughing at. Thank you so much for sharing, I only wish I could be there and hang around when your working. It's been a long time since I got to do some hands on. Keep the faith and more videos coming.
I watched that part when it first popped a few times. your reaction is priceless!! congratulations on your success!! Thank you for keeping the videos coming.
I love this video! I was hoping you could get that old thing going and you did! I was excited when it started and I'm glad you didn't give up. I just kept thinking if anyone could do it, it would be you. Thank you for sharing.
Watching you start this single cylinder engine reminds me of the days I was learning to start friction fire. "Once you think you've done enough, do more" that's is something to learn and love by
I love that you show pretty much your whole process as you learn and figure things out. When you elevated that fuel tank I knew you were flooding it. But unless you learn that somehow you wouldn't know. You bring so much knowledge and experience to everyone that may not have had the chance to see and do the thing you have. I appreciate that and have learned a ton. I have a love for old tools too. Though I currently don't have the place to store them. Some day I hope to do some restoration and use some old tools as I find them. Well more than the few draw knives and other old tools I have. Love the videos. Keep up the good work. Maybe one day I will get a chance to meet you guys.
i love these workshop videos, working on things like the harvester, or black smithing a tool. my favorite type of video for sure :) but i definitely appreciate every wranglerstar video
Really glad to see you got that motor going Cody, it may be noisy, but it ran well and stopped smoking after a little run. It will surely be handy. Excellent.
Congratulations Cody. All that hard work pays off. Time to look for a belt drive saw mill??? That would give you a nice project. A sawmill building on the homestead. Be safe, Mark
Congratulations! Did my heart good! Never around one of these but grew up in the 50's and 60's with a lot of McCormick-Deering equipment, especially Farmall H's and M's. Enjoy all your stuff, but really enjoyed this series!
Hi Mr. Wranglerstar! Congratulations on that restauration! I felt really happy for you when that motor started to run finally :-) Again: Congratulation!!!
Congratulations! I'll be looking forward to future videos on belt-driven contraptions and fashioning long leather belts. Loved the music, too; very fitting.
I'm glad to see this thing finally running. And I agree, the video you mentioned is probably one of your better ones. However, my all time favorite video of yours is the axe competition.
Atta boy! She's purring like a champ. You certainly are crafty, Cody. You should do a series of videos where we challenge you to make something with limited materials. For example- 'Make a knife sheath out of pinecones..' or something not as absurd
Love watching the facial expressions of disappointment and frustration followed by pure joy when you got it to run. Good for you sticking to it until you got it to run. Now I need to go do the same with my old quad lol.
Very nice original IHC Type "LA" engine. One rule of thumb, along with all the other great advice for you, is to always use "copper core" spark plug wire(s) on a magneto equipped engine; there are a few reasons for this. I really enjoyed watching your videos and have learned from them myself. Thank you for sharing your information.
Awesome job getting that old engine running. I haven't watched the other video yet but I will over the weekend when I have time to catch up with all my subs.
great job... I used to work for a company that made hit or miss engines (Friend Manufacturing) back in the day... they'd take them out and run them every once in a while... always wanted to get one of those engines but they're hard to find... loved watching you fix this one up...
Cody, I could see it in your face...you freaked out when it suddenly fired up.like I did :-) and I'm sure many others. CONGRADULATIONS! a job well done. I can't wait to see similar video's from you.
HOW NEAT FOR YOU. YOU KEPT GOING!!! I THINK PEOPLE COULD ATTACH THEM TO MANY THINGS AROUND THE HOME LIKE THE WASHER ON THE PORTCH!! I REALLY LOVE THE SIMPLICITY. A GREAT LEARNER PROJECT!!! I THINK IT WAS FIZZ WORTHY!!!😀🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful. It reminds me of a few years ago when I was working in an old farm camp. I found an old Wisconsin engine that hadn't been run in over 30 years. I basically had to do the same thing, tear it down, clean it up and even make a few parts. I too had troubles getting it to fire initially. I cheated though, I took an old air compressor motor and slung the belt over my flywheel. I got the first fire done with that. After that I could fire it up just by spinning the flywheel by hand. I ended up finding the old water pump that had been hooked up to it and we used the setup to lift water from the lake to water the cattle
Well done sir. I enjoyed watching you work. I know it’s way to late to offer suggestions, but I’m going to anyway. My first suggestion, back a motorcycle up to that flywheel, block it up so the rear tire is off the ground, and use the rear tire off the motorcycle to spin the flywheel for starting. Now that you have it running, you won’t need to do that, but the first start is often hard. Second suggestion is that silver solder might have been a better choice for sealing your check valve. It melts at a lower temperature. Thanks for sticking with it!
Congratulations Cody. Hard work, determination, and the ability to spot a treasure in another persons junk really pays off. I am really looking forward to see what uses you put that engine to. I know your Honda would be much easier to use but that is for simple plugs whereas this you could do all sorts of stuff like hooking it up to some sort of old manual tool or device and giving it power. Anyway great video
I had three one lunges that I bought and rebuilt year ago. they are just amazing built back then. I rebuilt a 1962 hale 750 GPM pump a few years back for a VFD here, even had a new impeller shift made for it my a machinist in Nampa Id., I had to made new gasket for the pump. I was fun and the learning was so awesome. I took a lot of photos as I was taking the pump apart to use them if I needed to see where parts went . You can see the pump photos on my facebook page
I seen your face when it started! A look of accomplishment. That feels good doesn't it? thanks for this series on the old IH. Love the old technoligy, it was built to last and built with pride unlike much of what we have today. Brad
World is a little wonky, time to relax with vintage @Wranglerstar 😎
Cody's face is priceless when it actually starts!!!!
i just bought one if these, don't even have it home yet, but have learned a TON about it's inner workings from your vids, thanks!!
I think that was my favourite video ever. It reminded me of trying to start single cylinder motorbikes in the past. It brought a real smile to my face.

+Douglas Brockhouse, SIOR glad to help
Cody your attention to detail and willingness to always see things through is inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

I admire your stick to it attitude and willingness to learn. I don't do this type of work, but I really appreciate bringing old back to life. Great Job!!
loved that smile when it started. you yourself were amazed when it started. Hard work again paid off. Congratulation. God Bless

Jason
The total look of shock on your face when it finally fired was great! Good job!
Congratulations!... weve all been along for the ride!...albeit a patient one!.... great to hear the 'ol girl roar to life again!
Vintage WS. I watched this series years ago but am going back and watching a few of the oldies! So good.
Its alive!
Congrats. Now, this was what they call some work. I too love restaurating old machines, giving them new live.
Mr. wranglerstar I have enjoyed this series on your engine I truly appreciate it keep up the good work God bless you and your family

Puts a new perspective to the modern flip a switch gotta have it now lifestyle we exist in. Great video. Happy to see it spring back to life.
I knew you could do it! It needs to be idled down so it runs less slowly. My dad, grandpa and brothers all have some of these engines and this made me feel 'at home.' Thanks for sharing all of your videos.
What an accomplishment! Congrats on getting it going Cody. Can't wait to see how you put it to good use. Very great video series on the old engine. Learned alot from it. Thank you.
Congratulations on getting the engine started! What a piece of history. Love going to the steam-up in Brooks, OR and watching them run.
What a blast! Well worth the wait. Next, you can use an old starter that works, along with an old car battery,and create your own electric starting system for her! No more sore shoulders and arms!! I truly enjoyed this.

Wow, that was something!!!! I am watching this on my break at work and I want to go home now and work on something more meaningful!!!!
Brilliantly done Cody. So what can be done with elbow grease and perseverance. The smile on your face when you called jack over says it all
i love these workshop videos, working on things like the harvester, or black smithing a tool. my favorite type of video for sure :) but i definitely appreciate every wranglerstar video
Love the sound of that engine. Congratulations, Cody. An excellent lesson on perseverance.
Your persistance is second to none. Way to go!
What an awesome old engine. Great job getting it running!!!
Really glad to see you got that motor going Cody, it may be noisy, but it ran well and stopped smoking after a little run. It will surely be handy.
Excellent.
Wow, I never thought of using sheet lead for gaskets. You gotta love all this 'history' we are losing.
Great vid :0D
Must remember to photo well pump from where I am working.....you'd love it
I can't help being an Engineer ;0)
I would be greatful :0D
Way to go! It's alive, finally! I applaud your persistence sir! Well Done!
Congratulations Cody. All that hard work pays off. Time to look for a belt drive saw mill??? That would give you a nice project. A sawmill building on the homestead. Be safe, Mark
You did it!!!! Fantastic! I'm so impressed! But i know ofcourse, you never give up once you started.
Nice work on finally getting it going! I liked the music interlude building the tension, then fading as the engine finally started.
Congratulations! Did my heart good! Never around one of these but grew up in the 50's and 60's with a lot of McCormick-Deering equipment, especially Farmall H's and M's. Enjoy all your stuff, but really enjoyed this series!
Hi Mr. Wranglerstar! Congratulations on that restauration! I felt really happy for you when that motor started to run finally :-) Again: Congratulation!!!
And this. Is why I love this channel
Congratulations! I'll be looking forward to future videos on belt-driven contraptions and fashioning long leather belts. Loved the music, too; very fitting.
Fitting music and another piece of old technology you have resuscitated, nice work and documentation!
It was a pleasure to watch you work on this engine. Great job!
Success! Nice job. Loved this series! Hope u keep us updated with any further tuning, and the uses of this machine.
I am so glad that all your hard work was rewarded with the old engine chugging away.
I'm glad to see this thing finally running. And I agree, the video you mentioned is probably one of your better ones. However, my all time favorite video of yours is the axe competition.
Great job Cody! It's so exciting to see that old engine brought back to life.
After all that work, that is a beautiful sight. Properly done, sir!
I was definitely surprised when it started. Good to see it running!!! Engines are really pretty amazing if you think about it!
Atta boy! She's purring like a champ. You certainly are crafty, Cody. You should do a series of videos where we challenge you to make something with limited materials. For example- 'Make a knife sheath out of pinecones..' or something not as absurd
YESSS!! Thumbs up for sticking with it and not giving up!
I initially thought "at last", but it really has been a pleasure to watch all the video's on the IH engine.
Finally! I was beginning to think that we would never see it run. Great job!
Love watching the facial expressions of disappointment and frustration followed by pure joy when you got it to run. Good for you sticking to it until you got it to run. Now I need to go do the same with my old quad lol.

,,, that smile,,, says it all,
shopdogsam couldn't say it better myself
Success!!! Great Job Cody. Definitely going to get a lot of use out of that beautiful machine. Good luck with what ever your going to run off of it.
I can't believe that monster started and than ran! Wonderful! Congrats!
great job... I used to work for a company that made hit or miss engines (Friend Manufacturing) back in the day... they'd take them out and run them every once in a while... always wanted to get one of those engines but they're hard to find... loved watching you fix this one up...

What a beast! I loved the look on Cody's face when it started.
HOW NEAT FOR YOU. YOU KEPT GOING!!! I THINK PEOPLE COULD ATTACH THEM TO MANY THINGS AROUND THE HOME LIKE THE WASHER ON THE PORTCH!! I REALLY LOVE THE SIMPLICITY. A GREAT LEARNER PROJECT!!! I THINK IT WAS FIZZ WORTHY!!!😀🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cody you are one amazing human being, so glad I found your channel!
Yey! You got it started ... I knew you would! It certainly runs lumpy ...
Now let's see you find a use for it!! Thanks Cody!
Awesome! Put a smile on my face. I don't know why I am proud of you but I am all the same. Way to go Cody!

Awesome job Cody! It feels amazing when somthing comes together! Great to see history that lives!
Awesome to see you finally got the old beast started and running!!!!
There's nothing more satisfying then bringing life to a old motor!
Very cool! Thanks for taking the time and effort to get it running.
That's one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!
I liked the music and the push-in for the start up! It built tension for the payoff.
i am so glad you got it runnin i have never seen something quite as neat as this engine. now lets see it in action on the Wranglerstar homestead
Awesome. I know Old engines can be a pain in the butt. But I love them!!
It's great to see one of those old engines brought back to life! Great job! I am not sure I would have been a patient!
Wonderful job! What a great restoration of a fine piece of machinery, they certainly don't make them like that any more!
Fantastic! You have the patience of Job! What I find even more incredible is that I didn't hear you cuss once! amazing!
Getting fired up to a little heavy metal!
I love bringing things back to life as well
Congrats on getting her going
Congrats on getting it started. I've been waiting to see you get it running. I like the idea of a saw mill powered by it.
I had three one lunges that I bought and rebuilt year ago. they are just amazing built back then.

That was awesome. It was louder than I thought it was going to be.
That's what I'm talking about, man versus machine. Nice job Cody
I had a grin I my face almost as big as yours , good job Cody happy for you.
Great stuff! Can’t wait for the next installment...
All the best to you and yours!
