I often say my favourite restorations are either things I have never seen before, or they take me back to my childhood. This restoration falls into the latter, I have wonderful memories of being about six 'helping' my grandfather use his tiller like this in the 60s. The birdsong throughout parts of the video strengthened those memories. In all probability you are much young than my 59 years, and to you this is just a machine you’ve done a brilliant restoration on. However, I don’t think I'm alone in recalling machines like this being used in happy times of our lives. Those memories can be wonderful and precious. Thank you for such an amazing video and a fantastic restoration.

I used to restore vintage Snowmobiles. It was a great hobby but time consuming and parts were hard to come by. Now I just repair small engine equipment much like that Tiller. I always enjoy watching an old, rusty hulk come back to life. I do wish I had a powder coating setup. I usually do primer, paint and a clear coat sealer. I think it holds up better than powder coating in the long run.

You are so correct in the satisfying statements. Almost as good as jumping into the shed and having a go myself.

Auch wenn die Restoration eine klasse Arbeit ist, die Motorhacke ist die dümmste Erfindung seit Erfindung des Rades, was man aufgehackt hat hat man hinterher wieder fest getreten, aber zum Löcher butteln im Garten hervorragent geeignet. Ich habe selber so eine Maschine gehabt. Even if the restoration is a great job, the motor hoe is the stupidest invention since the invention of the wheel, what you have hacked has been kicked back afterwards, but excellent for punching holes in the garden. I had such a machine myself.

I like the touches of the decals, I had wondered on a previous video where you go them from, never considered that you'd print them. That old Suffolk Iron Works engine brings back memories. I used to work on those as a teenager and I still have my fathers old Qualcast Commodore lawnmower which had one. It precedes the engine you have here as the earlier ones had cast alloy starter pull assembly instead of the nasty plastic and cast and chromed throttle control rather than the pressed piece. The 70+ year old mower now rests peacefully in the shed as a memory of my father and the first time that I was allowed to mow the lawn with it.
