Glad to find a restore channel that is not filled with ads, sponsors Or Paid Promotion on each video !

Start of video: I say it will run. End of video: great job!

Pro Tip: Put a thin layer of heavy bearing grease on both sides of the carburetor/fuel tank gasket and it will allow the gasket to be re-used instead of being destroyed each time you need to do servicing. Those paper gaskets usually don’t come off in one piece. Kart racers (Briggs Raptor 5hp) use the same method for maintenance or changing out carbs between races, etc.

I really enjoyed this. I have 7 wheelhorse tractors that I love to work on. These old tractors never die! Great job!

Mustie 1 would be proud of this one well done good vid.

Great work! Very satisfying to bring back to life these old engines and machines.

The best follow through small engine rebuilds on KZfaq 👍

Thanks for all the amazing videos that you do for our entertainment! I really do enjoy all of your content across all 3 of your channels. You are a great inspiration to my wife and I and I would love to meet you some day. Your videos inspire me to continue making my own content even though it is difficult to do so sometimes. Thanks for all you do, it is greatly appreciated!

Do a full restoration of it. IT DESERVES TO LIVE!

Always excited to see a notification that you have uploaded a video!

G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia, I've been watching and subscribed to your channel for a while now and I'm always amazed how you get these machines running again especially when they really look like they are headed for the tip. You explain what your doing very well and it's great to watch you disassemble it and diagnose the problems terrific channel really interesting thanks for showing this one, kind regards John

Very good restorer very well explained I appreciate that you show part numbers I think you are the best on KZfaq this is the first video I watch of yours I enjoyed all 57 minutes looking forward to seeing more from Canada

This entire channel is like an indirect ad for those aftermarket tarp covers made for lawnmowers.

Finally I’ve waited forever for this

Used to do this and similar stuff for a living most of my life. Never ever got tired of it, still enjoy watching someone one else. The reward was always in getting something to function correctly again. The money was only an incidental really to allow me to go on playing. Getting closed to 80 years old now , wonder what will happen to all that experience and knowledge that's still in my memory and brain when I go. Seems a pity it can't be transferred to one of these usb things, or is this the way of doing that ?.

Great video I love your restoration projects so relaxing to watch and very educational to I feel like I could tear apart an engine rebuild one now 😁 keep up the great content thanks dagger 😁

Lovely video Keep up the good work your videos kept me going through lockdown

Love watching you work, I keep thinking “id bring some tea & biscuits & ask you whats happenin if I was around”

Restoration looks fun. That mower needs a full restoration, because it's also a part of history.

Enjoyed watching. Thank you..

I literally have 2 wheel horse raider 12s and I absolutely love them. Glad to see you saved one

Another great video again dagger👍

Impressive and great video. I did not think it would start.

Well done lad! My grandfather fixed things this way for years. Saved people, who couldn’t afford it, hundreds!

The moment you turned on the pressure washer that mower was thinking "OH MY GOD A SHOWER FINALLY THANK YOU" lol

Nice Job Great Video! Sometimes more work than worth but it proves the point you can do anything you set your mind to doing! Look forward to seeing more videos!

Sounds great! I predict that unit will keep your right foot nice and toasty.

As always great video...keep up the great work

I like that this one is not overdone. Only whats needed

Cracking job on the Briggs!

You are doing a good job getting the lawnmower done

Nice video Daggerwin i love it so much thank you

Nicely done, and like the narration👍

The old Briggs & Strattons are quite tough. Sad to hear lately that they are in a financial bind. They have survived many a year of competition that saw a lot of other manufacturers go under.

I love your videos. I have learned a lot about the machines I use. Great jobs. God bless.

I've got a 1960s Gilson 16 hydro. Those old tractors are as tough as nails and never break.

your channel came up , so I watched it ....for 4 hours . Great . Thank u

Good show, cracking job.

Excelente amigo le dio vida despues de 10 años de estar abandonada esta cortadora de césped, mis felicitaciones y respetos desde Venezuela.

WOW, very good job. Thanks for the video.

Love watching your vids! good stuff!

Excellent, been looking forward to this since your hint in survival challenge

Maybe shoot a little transmission fluid or light oil down the spark plug hole before you start freeing it up?

Should try some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in your sand blaster for carburetors. It blasts everything off them but doesn’t take away the base material like sand or glass bead. Works amazing! Then run it through your ultrasonic cleaner and the baking soda dissolves in the water, leaves everything looking brand new!

She sounds great. So much so that I joined your channel tonight.

I like seeing old riding mowers and equipment come back to life, I rather own older mowers, they were made with quality.

Well done. Brilliant mechanic.

It takes a lot for me to smile anymore I love ur channel man. Keep up the good work.

Bravo sir, Bravo. An old B & S engine that has lots more years of life in it yet. Now you have to disassembly it, remove all the old peeling paint and rust, prime and paint it to look new, since you got it running like new... Thumbs Up!

Nice video, picked up a Web self propelled mower for £10, plan is to get it going again, this sort of inspires me to start lol. like all the videos. Thanks for sharing :-)

Success, another classic motor saved. Great job 👍🏻

Nice work bringing the old Briggs back to life again, i would have given the recoil spring a bit of oil, also would have been interesting to see what compression you got psi, ido love a old Wheelhorse.

Awesome job!

It looks more fun and would go over more terrains than my mobility scooter.

I think those originally had a 6hp Tecumseh and that's why the briggs didn't fit particularly well. Enjoyed the video.

Excellent video

If you put all the parts of a Briggs & Stratton engine in a box and shake it until everything fell in place, it would probably run!

Nice job man it doesn’t even smoke, looks like you got yourself a good one after all. Catch you on the next one.

My new favorite channel!!

love your videos mate. i have learned heaps.

love ur vids keep up the good work

My grandfather worked at wheelhorse in South Bend for many years up until he passed away in 1986, though he worked in production for quite a while he eventually became a delivery driver transporting them into Canada.

Amazing how you were able to remove that gasket - I had to use unreasonable force on mine as if somebody had jb welded it on.

Really enjoyed watching that 😁

I like that knot you used.

Great vid as usual :)

Hey Quick pointer, before you start moving thr piston of an old engine, throw some oil down the spark plug hole to lubricate the piston

nice job , i really enjoy your channel

Your videos are awesome 😎

Thanks your my favorite KZfaqr

Yes, I can say I've driven one, lovely mower to operate!

Master lawnmower mechanic.

Amazing video! I have a Wheel horse 310-8 and its due for a restoration soon

Nice, awesome looking tractor.

My father was the SE Distributor for Wheel Horse in the 1960’s. They were a pretty nice lawn tractor for the time frame.

I love all your vids you inspired me to play fs19 and watch machinery restoring

Good resurrection video! Personally I think the mower, and especially the deck is too far gone. But, you have a good engine for something else that may come along :-)

Nice video!

This guy. Is good, but I was like, " release the mustie!"

this is the best entertainment for a cup of hot tee and biscuits

Nice work great video subscribed

No spiders became harmed during this renovation! Haha

Very typical seeing all that corrosion and gunk when the head comes off. When I used to do this, I'd tear it down till it was only the block, piston, and crank there. The rest I'd take off, clean up, and it would run almost immediately. Love these small engines.

I have a wheel horse ranger 700, and it looks just like it! It was made in 1974 I think, and is pull start. But I don't think it has the original engine though. Great video!😊

4:55 this mowing deck have seen better days.

Great job! When will we get a part 2 of the other riding mower?

Another great vid

Love your acent man.

the engine is exactly the same as my flymo 5gxl wheeled mower i managed to find an original old stock brand new in box coil for mine on ebay very reasonable price too , they have so much power mine will cut long thick grass on tick over , great videos .

Great Job

No fly wheel key ! ? Great video !

Seems to have a nice sturdy axle at the back. Unlike my white yardboss t85. I never thougth you'd get it moving without a zeised pulley.

Really is interesting seeing the difference in lawn mowers of the same time period in the UK and here in the states. The way the seat was made blew my mind haha, i feel sorry for the people’s backs that operated those back in the day. But at least the engines from both here and there had the same name. Haha

Well done!

Another good engine. No smoke from the exhaust at all that I could see.

Hi machinery restorer I love your videos and was wondering what happened to the westwood w11 videos as I am currently restoring one and found your videos extremely helpful

Good job 👏👏👏

Wow, Briggs really stuck with designs there. It looks remarkably similar to the 5hp (12.5 cu in) horizontal shaft from 88 I recently cleaned up: it was running but not well, and coated in an oil and leaf bits emulsion (it's on a big leaf vacuum). Much better shape than yours, but the whole side was gummed up and I decided to replace (definitely not because I lost them in the pile of muck 😅) governor arm and linkage, and I've ordered a new governor spring too since it's not quite governing the way it ought to. (Hooray for new old stock on eBay!) Had some nice carbon stalactites on the head, glad I decided to pull the head for a cleaning, that would have been big scoring in an otherwise pristine bore. A bit jealous of how easy that looked in your sand blaster! Had to clean the starter clutch after I got it running again, but that was easier than expected.

I like the philosophy that you arent just replacing parts. Fixing parts that you can to get it to go instead. Awesome approach. This machine was a real disaster.

my neighbor just gave me a wheel horce c-120 or something.i got it running after being outside for 6 yrs.this thing is a beast.way better than my crastman v twin.
