The acme cat shredder works very well, another rescue well done

Makes me sad that their is not some little 10 year old girl or boy by your side for you to teach it all to . I learned a lot on my own when I was 10 , working on one lungers . All I had was a pair of pliers a 9/16 socket and a 7/16 socket a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer . With just those tools I could completely disassemble a lawn mower and fix most of them . Thank you for bringing back some great memories . I noticed you have all 8 fingers and 2 thumbs ,, so you must be good . Thanks again for sharing .

I have worked on old engines like this a lifetime....I have NEVER seen ANYONE as lucky as this guy for things coming apart....EVER.

That was a worthy revival! Breaks every OSHA rule that exists .. it NEEDS to be saved and used! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

A few days ago I helped a friend "bring back to life" a 15hp chipper / shredder he was given for free. Engine full of water, starter and accelerator link seized, carb and tank full of debris. Following your videos gave me the confidence to try this, and a logical sequence of how to go about it. Result - in a few hours we had a fully working chipper (although we still need to chase down the kill switch wiring). Love your videos, and learning from them - keep up the great work!

When I was a kid, every time we had our first big snow storm of the Winter, we'd always hear a story about "the guy down the street" who either had a heart attack from shoveling or lost his fingers in his snowblower. Every year. That poor old "guy down the street" had the worst luck.

Who else gets so excited when they see a Mustie video, over an hour like me!!! Thank you

With those "wheels" you can blow the snow and aerate your lawn at the same time! :) Great work getting that old beast going.

Nice job, Mustie1. Glad to see that you were able to work your magic once again and bring a piece of old equipment back to life. Thanks for bringing us along. You're an inspiration for all.

GOVERNOR FIX. Hi Mustie, I enjoy watching your videos and this was a good one for me because I recently restored a water pump with the same motor on. I come from a time when these were new. It seems they always need the choke on to start, even when warm. The governor vane on your motor is bent the wrong way. More air flow needs to tend to pull the throttle down (off) not throttle up. Just bend the top of the vane towards the carb and the air passing by will throttle down to find an equilibrium between the air pressure and spring pressure. You we have to do some trial & error to get this to happen in the RPM range you want. Good Luck!

That carb brought back a lot of memories. When I was a kid I screwed around with my grandpa's old lawnmower with an engine like that.

That blower running and working by itself was a Hysterical ending🤣 even he couldn't stop laughing!

When you go to use it in a decent snowfall, be sure to keep the engine cover on it, otherwise blowback will accumulate on top of the engine and short the spark plug out. (Voice of experience with that snowblower here)

YT's algorithm fed me a bunch of videos on similar snowblowers after the first installment. Most of them are in museums, so it was cool seeing one run and throw snow. Few guards, no dead man switch on the drive, no warning labels telling you to keep your hands out of the chute... it's not for the careless user.

1962 technology,, wow . I really truly like watching your shows,, my friend . there is character and there is content. Thanks for being one of my channels

That would be ideal for one of those backyard model railroaders that you can ride on. Some train wheels and coupler and it would be just like the rotary plows they use on the mountain passes.

My Sunday doesn’t begin until Mustie posts his latest video!

Afternoon mate

Lot of people don't know about this....But watching you having fun with your Roll Pin and punches. They actually make special Roll Pin punches which are balled on the ends which pushes the center of the Roll Pins out and act as a guide to keeping the punches In place. I was amazed by how much easier it made removing them and they actually fit through the holes being they were made for this application! Check them out, their cheap and worth it! Never knew they existed until I was so sick and tired of bending Roll Pins or mushrooming the ends over, then finding out a regular punch doesn't fit in the holes within having to be cut down! Just FYI to anyone who does a few now and then 😉

“I went with the higher hole, heh-heh”, chuckled Beavis, Butthead, and Mustie1.

Thankfully in Texas where I live, we don't have to worry about Snow Blowers; but, it sure was enjoyable watching you bring this old machine back to life. Mustie you are a Legend.

You're probably the only person on the planet who can take 60 year old piece of dangerous yard equipment and turn it into a snowblowing Roomba. Very nice.

that is the coolest snowblower ever! the wheels will never go flat, and never need chains.

Amazing restoration Mustie, I would love to see that blower completely restored to its glory 😊

Pretty impressive! Always love to see old things brought back to life, well done sir!

There is a huge difference in technology from 1960 to present. Who would have thought the first generation snowblower would be so dangerous. No clutches, no reverse, no speed control, but!!!!!!!! They were smart enough to put the very reliable Briggs and Stratton engine on it. I enjoyed both parts.

I love the brutal simplicity of those old machines.

This right here is why so many people's grandfathers and great grandfathers are missing fingers and toes.....

That's a wonderfully dangerous contraption. No home is complete without one of those extremity removers :D

That front view!! It looks more like a cat liquidizer than a snow blower. Terrifying. 1962 Health and Safety at it's best! 🧡

Never doubted you Mr. Wizard.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who makes light saber sounds with my extra long screw drivers. Well done.

Kind of impressed how well it works compared to some of the newer designs.

I been cleaning a couple carbs off a 650 Kawasaki and had all my parts separated for each carb . Have them in a Tupperware bowl trying to be careful to not lose anything. Turn around with it in my hand and run into the handlebar and lost the hole thing in the floor ! Thankfully I found everything after a hour ! Great videos on this channel ! Enjoyed them all !

When I was 13 in 1965 I bought the same snow blower from Sears. It cast $169.00 and that was a lot of money in 1965. It was dark gray and had a different shoot, and rubber wheels but it was basically the same unit. It was great in heavy wet snow. I did several houses in the neighborhood and it payed for itself in 2 snow storms. Sold it in a yard sale around 1975.

What a wonderful restoration! Good to see that old gal working; she's quite a lovely beast.

What a refresher course on these engines from my go-kart days... All so nicely worded. Great job on the revival. There was a farm salvage yard I would visit. What an assortment of lawnmower engines, axles, transmissions etc waiting to be brought home for upcoming projects. That's back when a dollar would buy many things.

I got a real kick out of that one. It is amazing to see things not rusted by the new gas. Thanks for taking the time to fix it.

Mustie, my Grandfather bought the same machine from Sears, around 61 or 62, and I remember it well. The broken muffler, and close proximity to the carb, probably helped warp that carb plate cover, due to heat......good machine, and steel traction wheels didn't slip, or need chains....man, could that thing throw snow...!!!!

70 yrs old & you got it running. Amazing

I've got this carb setup on a 1975 tiller with a 3.5 HP Briggs. I'll keep this for reference!

I had no idea it would blow snow that well! I’m surprised 😮!

Ha ha ha... that Mustie laugh when its running......Priceless 😁😁 Happy wrenching Mustie 👍

Looks more like a snow scooper thrower ! Then a snow blower haha !

Outstanding-an early autonomous snow blower-I like it!

Another great save by the Master. Good morning Mustie, really look forward to Sunday mornings. Your one of my favorite U-tuber's. Be good and have a great day. 👍

It definitely moves the snow That is one dangerous looking beast!!

Great job on that vintage snow blower!

I am so glad to see older stuff brought back to life you do such a great job on things

Wow, that unit must give safety “Big Brother” a conniption fit!

Lol ! Safety ? We don't need no safety ! That was awesome watching the damn thing move right along !

Sweet machine Mustie! Looks like a battlebot and a leaf blower had a baby.

I have been following this channels for a while now and I am convinced Mustie can fix anything mechanical!

When you tipped it up to access the engagement lever….There is the gearbox oil level screw, center , right under the sprocket/shaft.

ANOTHER WIN for team MUSTIE!!.. awesome.. just awesome!!.. CHEERS!!

Nice job mustie! That is a man’s snowblower! Driveway newspapers don’t stand a chance!! 👍🏻

very cool both the coolest and most dangerous snow blower i ever saw . great job bringing this monster back to life buddy .

At 16:16, since the fuel pick up screens are gone, you can just take some fine mesh and wrap it around the end of the tube and fasten it around the neck of the tube [like tying a trash bag] with some wire. Those meshes ARE the fuel filter(s) and if both pickup tubes have the mesh intact, the fuel is filtered twice before combustion. Pretty nifty in and of itself.

Awesome that is so different to see thank you very much

never seen before the "air governor"... thank you so much for bringing in the 2k era such beautiful vintage technology!

What an awesome little machine, considering it's age I thought it did a pretty good job just round your garden.. Well done on saving a bit more history, love this chanel!

Wow, you have resurrected it. It will be fun to see how it handles deep snow. Given that the engine is pretty small by modern standards, and it has a muffler that really muffles sound (compared to what used to come with Tecumseh snowblower engines), I'll bet it will be pretty quiet, for a snowblower.

Just like a rotary plow on a train! Cool stuff!

Glad you didn't have a walnut tree in your back yard.. lol Thanks for the video. Take care..

I believe those stems on the carb are friction fit, and can be gently worked out with a soft jaw pliers. I rebuilt a 70’s Jacobsen with a similar motor/carb.

Great job once again Mustie, I’m really curious to see this old boy blow some heavier snow. The engine doesn’t smoke or knock either. Great resurrection!

That's a good one. Cat shredder! Who was thinking of safety back in 50s or 60s right?

Take care of your physical health and your emotional health too! Take time to do things that you enjoy. I don’t want to lose you because you get burnt out. You are so appreciated!

Part 1 of this find was the first video I had ever seen of your channel. So glad I hit Subscribe! Keep up the awesome content and thanks for putting in the time and effort for such kick-ass videos!!

I started using Trufuel in all my two stroke engines. It costs more but I’ve had no carb issues. Now, need to convert over to 100% gas on four stroke engines. Ethanol bad.

This machine belongs in a museum. And you can put it there with your love.

Another labor of love with several parts for KZfaq viewing.

That was fun! - And now you have a display item for the vintage garden machinery shows! I guess this shows just how far these machines have developed over the years. I've always had nightmares about about snowblowers, and garden waste shredders, and this machine just highlights the reason why! That engine sounds pretty fit too, and if I recall, we have the tiny little 2hp version on a machine here - They just seem to live forever.

Dr. Mustie just did an engine swab, and it appears the patient was negative!!! Now you will have to test every patient that comes in for a service!!! Rock on doc, and stay safe buddy!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Hilarious seeing It "walk" on its own, another great fix👍

This is awesome! I did the same thing with a snow blower...and it's got 18 seasons on it now! It was also destined for scrap!! Safety of ZERO on these old machines!!! Too cool...

Very cool! When you do get a respectable snowfall, she'll throw better with the chute aiming across the "Starboard side.

If you get more snow I would love to see another video of this really working

You are 'the maestro' of mechanics.

Works better than I thought it would. Awesome find

It is gratifying to hear a little, old engine run with such sweet precision. Today's machinery falls apart under its own complexity. The tech of yesteryear was robust and almost alive.

I've had those briggs carb pump plates warp on me too, very common it seems, and sanded them down enough to make flat again. I wonder how good it would be with leaves.

i was talking to an old timer and he saud this type of blower was great for clearing on icy surfaces. He talked about the local flood rink having one and then took me down memory lane with him.

Awesome ! Josh loves it 👍

Goooooooood morning everybody ! Time to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the next hour and twenty minutes with Mustie1

I’m busy for the next hour and twenty minutes. LazyBoy-check, Coffee-check.

You, got her going!The engine, looks like,what my older brother, used on many mini bikes ,in the sixties! Very cool, Darell!😀👍

The mafia must have had a whole fleet of these. Great video Mustie!

Today's menu: Cooking carburetors with Mustie1 ! 🧑‍🍳

Whooo I’ve been waiting for this video

Snap ring took a ride. Snap ring sort of walked away.🤣🤣😂😂 Mustie1 I love your videos. I work on small engines all the time, I really get a kick on all the commentary you come up with. There's a joke somewhere there is another one of you're all time greats. I learn something most of the time so that's always a plus. Keep the videos coming, I very much enjoy them!!

For a self propelled snow blower after 50 years that is fantastic,nice job Mustie..

I have watched several older video's ( as did everyone else that watches you) of how this type of snow blower operates. Like me, you get the old crusty stuff and try to resurrect it. I worked on an old craftsman chipper shredder and finally gave up on it. It was nothing I needed and it would have cost more to fix then mess with and couldn't sell because of its age. Yes, I do like saving old power equipment, but you need to draw a line somewhere on this stuff.

When you turned it lose, it seemed like it was a happy puppy in the snow-happy to be alive again. And at the beginning of this episode I thought that this machine was the ugliest travesty ever manufactured. Now you have to admit, those wheels are ugly. But seriously, my young nephews asked me what I watched on KZfaq, and I mentioned Mustie1, "but I know you guys have never heard of that channel." Boy was I wrong, Your demographic stretches from kids to old guys, so don't change a thing.

Most impressive snowblower I've ever seen, fire it up, throw it in gear and stand back with a beer and watch it clear the driveway. 👍🍻

Hay Darren well done another one saved

Amazing to learn how early snow blowers got started. Imagine pulling that baby out while all your neighbors were shoveling. You were da man! They have come such a long way in terms of function and safety, but fallen so far in terms of durability and construction. On the plus side, 50 years from now it will be so much easier to lap that carburetor part flat because it will be plastic! Ha ha ha…

It's Sunday, it's 12pm (UK time), that means it's time for Mustieeeeeee.. Hi Guys an' how's it goin'.

With those wheels, impeller, and tins it is a steam punk snow blower from before steam punk was a thing. Great video as always Darren.

I had one of those 30 years ago. It was given to me because it didn't run. I got it running and used it several seasons. It went through heavy snow like a trooper. I had an asphalt drive and it did no damage at all to it. It was a Sears model, and a different color, but other than that it was exactly the same. Kind of funny, but I had the same governor issues, too! Never got it fixed, but it also seemed like someone screwed with the spring. Anyway, thanks for the memory!
