Knowledge on machinery repair will always have value, those who don't have it end up in the fields harvesting.

You try and explain to someone that watching a lad rebuild a lawnmower engine is incredibly relaxing and they'll bloody laugh at you!

That is a perfect restoration of that old school brigg's very nice .... !!!!!!

This is awesome, to take a basket of parts, spend a few days cleaning the parts and to assemble everything and cut grass. Truly awesome. I find that most, not all lawn , mowers can be fixed with just a simple carb cleaning and PM service. The concept now is, if it wont run, junk it and buy another one. I love junking round old barns and “FREE” piles on the road, never know what you might find. One mans junk is another man’s treasure. Great job.

I have watched so many restoration videos ! I’m a marine engineer specializing in marine locomotive engines. This is something I would love to get into. Something to do in my off time and retirement. I’ve learned a lot about small engines from these types of videos and I’m motivated!

a guy i know who built rally engines used an old dishwasher using the cleaning liquid instead water including the heating function and it cleaned the parts spotlessly also another advantage was the the cases were so hot that he was able to insert bearings as soon as it came out of the washer

I truly enjoy watching these videos.

I couldn't stop watching and was on the edge of my seat when that spark plug got screwed in!!! First rebuild I've seen and it was awesome! Thanks for the video!

A old school Briggs & Stratton Flathead is hard to beat 🏁🏁🏁👍 Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina USA 🇺🇸

Haven't watched yet, but it's a Briggs & Stratton. Of course it's going to run.

Great work. Nothing more therapeutic than engines..

Briggs made good engines back then, Tecumseh did too. My 41 year old mower with 4HP Tecumseh still works fine. Cheers from sunny Australia

This is pretty much the dictionary definition of a masochist. Excellent work, even if I had the skill and the tools, I would definitely not have the patience to take on a project like this.

I get laughed at in my hometown for restoring small motors to many people obsessed with the disposable life

Briggs & Stratton ghost!!!! Very nice!!! Amazing work!!!! Like a lot. Congratulations!!!!💪💪💪👉

I really like your videos on rebuilding garden machinery. So relaxing to watch after a long day. I prefer the ones when you just put up text and we can here birds singing. Not that you have a great voice for dialogue...i like the no talking just watching concept...like other resto channels. Great work...👍🇬🇧

These little engines are the sound of summer. Early evening, one of these humming in the distance and the smell of cut grass.

I love bringing engines and equipment back from the dead. People are so wasteful sometimes and if I can take their "junk" and repair it with a good cleaning and a few bucks in parts its 100's maybe 1000's of dollars it saves me. Nice work I admire your attention to detail.

Another job well done Can’t say it enough. This is why I enjoy watching your videos so much you do such a good job at fixing up the stuff that you were working on

this Gentleman is living proof that they're still people out there that when they set their minds on doing something they still do it right !!! another awesome restore !!! 👍

Wow!!! Great job!!! Very thorough.

It's so rewarding seeing some one restore something, I just love to watch videos like this. Great video thanks 😊

My first job was on a maintenance crew that used to mow lawns in a Village that used to maintain power stations. And the lawnmowers we used were 4 hp and 5 hp Bridges & Stratton lawnmowers, very similar to the lawnmowers you are restoring now I have owned many lawnmowers over the years but they were always my favourite

The Briggs of around that age are honestly the best engines to work on in my opinion, fairly simple and reliable

I took that engine apart in 1987 before I went to college because it burned too much oil. I always promised myself I'd re-assemble it with new piston rings someday... Thanks for keeping my promise.

5:48 Can you do a restoration of that garden chair? XD

Makes me want to go find something to rebuild! Nice work!

I used to work in a little engine rebuild shop waaay back....(late 70s)....rebuilt those Brigs n Stratton by the dozens.

I have a mower with the same engine, and man... this thing is a beast!! This engine worked around 10 years continuously and only requires a little maintenance, never changed piston and nothing. This engines are the best thing i ever had.

Just clicked on this video from the main page when it randomly popped up but I took apart a 100% identical engine in high school in a Small Gas Engines class. Literally all the parts and assembly are coming back to me watching this. Well done though!

Briggs and Stratton engines, rebuilt engine comes to life after two pulls. Solid small engines. I would say that B&S small engines are the gold standard of small engines.

I remember my dad doing this back in the middle 70s I was the only kid on our block that didn't have to worry about not being able to cut the grass Thanks Dad years later I was rebuilding Briggs & Stratton three and a half horse and Tecumseh Engines still enjoying it

I love watching craftsmen at work. Thanks for the video.

I'm so impressed by your skills. And it brings back my childhood to see that old mower running.

This has given me alot of helpful tips as me and my dad are restoring a classic volvo 340 and we need all the help we can get get so thanks daggerwin for uploading on this chanell👍🏻

I LOVE these old mowers... just a simple engine with a blade for doing a simple job. Could you do a restore on a modern engine (smog/safety switches/electronic...) just so we can see how much is involved. I took a 2006 mower in to be repaired and was told that it was non repairable?!?!? No reason why... the stuff that is being made these days is just junk... Thank you for all the hard work you do and for showing us that these machines can be repaired.

I'd love this guy's skills. People laugh at me for working on my own car and I find things hard as I have sadly have autism. The pride thing is I try I don't need to pretend to be somebody I'm not and have to drive a flash car for an image. This is why i admire skills like this it's keeping something beautiful going

There's nothing better than listening to a old engine! How do you do it man? It's incredible.

Cool! Ready for the next 43 years!

The transition from when the powder coat goes from looking super dry to loking super wet is always so satisfying to me. So please don't cut that out

Just used this video to diagnose issues with a victa tiller 100 series 6 i bought yesterday. Pulling apart the carb, the pump spring was on the wrong side of the diaphragm! It still (just) ran. I never would have known without the video! Cheers!

Machinery Restorer: Exists Uncut grass: "My time has come"

Great job! I restored a 1974 Murray 22 inch mower with that same engine. I had a blast doing it. It’s not worth anything but seeing the before and after was amazing. Someone was throwing it out and it just so happened to be the same model mower I pushed around the Neighborhood as a kid looking for lawns to mow. Satisfying on a couple different levels.

The way you work eases my OCD on engines. You do things the correct way and aren’t lazy while doing it. Love the videos. Please keep more coming.

Great renovation. My father had a mower like this. We used it for years. Great to see one fully restored. Videos are great! Better then watching TV. All the best! Skip

This man knows what he's doing. Awesome rebuild.

Beautiful work sir! I love that powder coat! For me growing up, these engines were the de-facto standard for lawnmowers.

Really a very fine and measured step by step restoration. When I was a little kid (about a million years ago) we could pick these up free from the local nursery/landscape/yard maintenance outfit and refurbish them and mount them on our fat tire bicycles for motorization. They were about half the size of this one and easy to fix....hell on wheels! Best wishes and stay healthy.

The lighting used on this video is excellent; professional.

Very satisfying to watch this process.

Absolutely excellent video, you clearly know your parts and way around an engine. Thanks for sharing.

Another fantastic job. Refreshing.

Dang son this guys a perfectionist

Really a joy to watch, thanks for the video!

Briggs and Stratton love's this man .... whatever part he needs the company says "make em' whatever part he needs" no questions asked lol

This brings back good memories when I was a kid. From mowing lawns around the neighbourhood for arcade money to making go carts with some friends. Good to see theres still some mowers around today that got taken care of. p.s- i think your warranty's up! :D

A pleasure to watch! The sound of that Briggs & Stratton brings back many childhood memories. Thanks

I am one of those guys too ! Love fixing old machines !

That was a great job restoring that old motor. I wish I had his skills. Nice to keep and old dog running.

This is gratifying to watch, but it must be 100x more gratifying to actually accomplish. Kudos from the U.S.A!

Beautiful job well done looks like new 👏 👍 👌

Yes i enjoyed watching you rebuild that old 41yr.old engine. I learned a few tricks to do in my lawnmower repair shop. Thanku

Just got home, went to KZfaq, and this video dropped in my feed, perfect, just enough time for me to chill and and watch this from start to end

For some reason "AND THEN CUT GRASS WITH IT!" Just really got me in the funny bone.

I enjoy watching restoration videos of small engines. You made this a joy to watch. Very artistic with your form. Very patient and thorough. Thank you for sharing! 😀👍🏼

Your videos are absolutely satisfying to watch.

Did you ever figure out where the extra bolt went? Just kidding. You are professional in every sense of the word. Your videos are first rate. Very grateful you share them.

This is awesome to watch, ive worked on a few small engines but never restored one. I love watching him work because it all looks so easy.

You do outstanding work Sir. Keep it up.

Fantastic restoration - a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing

Thankyou for reviving yet another one!!

Thanks for posting this. Beautiful job. I have an old Rover Rapid (Australia) lawn mower that has a very similar Briggs and Stratton engine. We inherited the mower at our new rural property in Tasmania. It has never run right, always surging up and down. I recently pulled the carbi apart and cleaned it all. Found the pump spring on the fuel tank side instead of the carbi side. Also for some reason, my motor has a cylindrical air filter and housing instead of the flat horizontal sponge filter I have seen on them. Seems to run better now, but not 100% yet.

Oh.my.word. Brilliant work. I LOVE the detail, I love the patience, I lover the clear camera angles, I love the descriptions. I learned SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!!!

Boy does this bring back some awful memories. My dad had an old Snapper mower back in the 80's and he used to make me mow the grass every Saturday. That mower had the exact same Briggs and Stratton 3.5 horsepower engine. The thing was so old and hard to start that I was drenched in sweat by the time I started mowing. I used that thing from the time I was 9 years old until I went off to college. He finally broke down and hired a lawn service after I left. God forbid he actually had to use that mower himself.

I love the old Briggs and Stratton really good engine when I was a kid I put one on a go kart great memories and you done a great job 👍😃

Very nice. I have a 1970's? rototiller with an old 3.5 Briggs on it. I plan on doing similar. The tiller is so old, I am unsure of the brand. Appears to be green in color, maybe an old Wards machine, but, it serves its' purpose well, and is a beast. Starting to smell oil burning as I use it, so it is time to rebuild before things become terminal. Winter 2022 project to refurb the entire tiller. Again, well done!

Great presentation. Congratulations. Amazing you could get the coil

I enjoy watching these vids. My first restoration was a Briggs 5s, followed by a WM. I mostly play with oilfield engines these days, but the trip down memory lane has been nice!

Excellent video-I have the almost the same motor on an old John Deere push mower from 1973. You've inspired me to do a full rebuild and paint too. Thank you

The polished gas cap an filter screw were icing on th cake...

I love those old Briggs engines!! I remember them as a kid!! Still good engines!!

I love love love it when you powder coated the parts and this color is soooo refreshing!!!!

The old stuff was built to last. All it needs is a little love and care, and it will serve for years and years.

You have a real gift my friend.

I love watching you master your craft. I just got into this hobby...my girlfriend thinks I'm nuts. You've taught this old boy a few tricks, keep up the great content!!!

My sons are using a Cub Cadet pusher I bought new when I got married in 1985. Just changed the blade to a mulcher, enclosed the chute, changed oil and air filter and they started using it. The carb's never been apart, etc.

The paint looks amazing! 👌awesome job, Your vids are always awesome.

Brilliant job, really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for uploading. 👍👍👍

I really like all these restoration work you’re doing! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for another great video Daggerwin, they are a big help while we are still in lockdown here in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Thank you

Flawless execution. Nice work.

terrific rebuild super close up camera work a joy to watch with great title inserts

Sounds like and looks like it's running good to me... Great job.

Man I love these rebuild shows,real manly,thanks.

6:45 - That's quality paint that it self leveled and didn't roll over into a run on those first couple passes across the bottom. Luckyyyy.

What a brilliant makeover. Great explanation of the work carried out.

Nicely done Daggerwin! Good attention to detail 👍

Nice!! Just Baling hay in my T7 watching you :)
