I am 70 years old,retired mechanic , welder \ fabricator have my shop at home My wife and best friend of 23 years next to Jesus bought me a tablet.After working in my shop 2-6 hours I come in tell my honey I'm home get a shower. Plug in to you tube and get lost in the world outside full of of videos such as this one. I never fail to learn something different exciting and rewarding such as this gentleman here. You are a great example to a lost and dying art. Last but not least you are a credit to your profession and fellow you tubers God bless you and all of the tubers out there

27 year old here who has been binge watching these videos. I started my own small engine repair business 2 years ago after growing up hotrodding my whole life. Something about small engines they're so simple and fun to work on I love what I do day in and out.

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.

G'day and fantastic new life that made of this tiller, really good job, regards John

please make some more like this Ive watched them all and now watching reruns Thanks for all you do

I wouldn’t be able to use it after that beautiful restoration. Be afraid of scratching it. . All the best Mick.

Back to back random videos to watch while in quarantine

Who else after watching this thinks n feels like going out n getting a project to restore

Thanks for another great video . I would like to see a video of the field where you planted the saplings

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.

The best thing I love about restoration videos is to see these tools in brand new condition as it would be if my dad or granddad would have seen it displayed in a store

You are so correct in the satisfying statements. Almost as good as jumping into the shed and having a go myself. You just cant pass on these old beaters as they are twice as good as the cheap plastic crap of today and have stood the test of time, you have now sent them on a journey of at least another 25-30 yrs. Thankyou so much for these vids as they give me a huge amount of enjoyment. Cheers.

am I the only one who loves the matte look of powder coat paint before baking?

Nice Video good to see someone saving old machinery and bringing it back to life for future generations to see and enjoy.

Brillant work no annoying loud music no bull talk just work on your machine a job so well done👍

I love these old machines, enjoyed the video

EXCELLENT VIDEO. THIS IS A TUTORIAL FOR YOUNG MECHANICS & SMALL ENGINE REPAIRS.

To all us basic people your videos seem simple and easy.......little do they know that half the restoration time was spent moving the camera around. Had this not been filmed the total time it took you to restore this item would have been a hell of allot shorter.....but then again, filming is half the fun. On behalf of all your viewers/subscribers thank you ever so much for sharing your restoration and tinkering experiences with us : )

Amazing attention to detail

Thank you for all the knowledge you bring, you are such a keeper of old knowledge, be proud of yourself

I would love to see an older Sears/Craftsman Roto-Spader restored. My grandfather had one from the mid 70s and my parents used it until it gave its last leg back in 2013. Wish my dad still had it so we can have a fun restoration experiment to work on. Small machinery. Shouldn’t have been too difficult to work on.

What skill and patience to do this. I take my hat off to you, a first class restoration. With the knowledge, equipment, time plus the money to do a great job. From an old engineer in the UK. Just read the previous comment and I too am 70, retired service engineer/welder/fabricator, and have been glued to James Condon's videos for many days. Well done James.

Love this channel, i learn so much just watching those restorations. Thumbs up.

I don't know what it is but these videos are oddly satisfying to watch.

Beautiful video. One fine Craftsman here ladies and gentleman.

Yes indeed, once I saw the video ...... Musti1 came to mind... WELL DONE!!!!!!!!

Loved what you did. All things are not wasted it can be reclaimed. Nice video.

Well done lad....you should be proud.I am sure that unit would work wonders in small areas.

Now that is what I call a full restoration,well done my friend you are an inspiration to us all.

Wow, what's not to like in this video. When you tackle a refurbishing project like this, you have to have many different skill sets. You seems to have them all covered. Thumbs Up!

I just get so much satisfaction bringing an old engine back to life.

This is one of the most reliable ways to relax

lots & lots of birdsong in the background, very relaxing

Watching this makes me so nostalgic. My gramps started a garage in the 30s and my dad and his brothers kept it going until the 90s. I didn't realize how talented mechanics are. Back when parts were parts. Great job.

This how a KZfaq video should be made. The only noise should be tools clanking. No loud rock music or that horrible urban music. Great vid!

Boy does this bring back memories: I don't know how many of these I tore down and rebuilt when my dad ran a small engine repair shop;

great job you did with this Tiller Dagwin looks just as it did when it was new more of the same please.. S C UK.

Great job! It looks brand new!

Happy little tiller. Good job.

I can see you are restoring this machine more for the satisfaction then for the money you can safe. I hope some day I'll be able to do something like this!! thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge!! great video 👍!!

Someone already said it but this is incredibly relaxing to watch. Great job Daggerwin, most everyone else would have considered the tiller scrap and not worth the time it took to get it running, let alone restoring it to showroom condition. Very well done.

Simply awesome. Great job!

This is what I call 'a perfect job'!!

Glad you got the powder coating kit. Great job bud.

I think this is the second or third video I watched of your channel and I am definitely impressed you do really nice work and you should be proud of yourself for doing such what an inspiration I tinker a little bit when I find stuff and get them running again like a 1970 John Deere riding lawn mower the very first one they ever made and I had it running in about 10 hours after being down for 15 years so I know I know how you feel when you get things going only you go the extra step and really make them nice congratulations I'll keep watching stay safe StayWell and as always God bless

First class restoration. Nice to see you are adding to your tool collection.

Travail admirable pour ressusciter cette machine ! J' essaye d' en faire autant sur toutes machines sauvables ou restaurables, mais pas à votre niveau, bien sûr ! Bravo !

I love powder coat. It's just so magical. Also, loving the new tools. Very nice job.

A fantastic job and lovely to see an old girl jumping back to life

Non ethanol fuel saved the tank!! Awesome job!!

I’ve restored many Suffolk’s.. awesome little engine, they just keep going.. great restoration bud

Very good restoration! You went far beyond what the machine is worth. Suggestion: sharpen the tiller tines. Thanks for sharing!

Superior indeed! Kudos!

Very good attention to details! Thank you for sharing with us!

Quarantine Day#38 : I've started to watch people restore old machines. I think I'm going insane

Wonderful restoration. I like that you leave the parts with some of their patina instead of putting in filler. Really lovely machines. I have never worked on lawnmower or garden power engines but from watching your videos it seems there all saveble if they don't throw a rod! I might pick up a project over winter if I see something at the right money as they look pleasurable to work on.

THANKS !!!!!!! Excellent Workmanship & Restored Equipment !!!! JESUS CHRIST IS LORD -- AMEN !!!!!!!

Beautiful restoration

I rate this video 10/10

Great result looks fantastic

Absolutely excellent!

Amazing channel. Wonderful restoration, really incredible what you have achieved. it might very well look better than when it came from the production line.

Nice video enjoyed watching whole process, ultrasonic cleaner and powder coating booth, I am quite envious.

Please, please, please keep these videos coming. Loving them

Great job!!! When you know your job, you don't need unnecessary verbage! Thank you!!!

My word! I believe this is the best and most thorough restoration I've seen yet. I cringed to watch you run it in the dirt. LOL

A piece of art, i would put one of his engines in my living room

Hi, I enjoy minute by minute your restorations, how nice it is to have all kinds of machines in the workshop, I admire your cleanness, next to the show you give us we can enjoy the birds of your garden, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time with us. Rico's greetings.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing restoration. Too nice too use, after all that hard work I would put it someplace special and look at it.

Very good restoration it looks beautiful .

That was a good restoration.

I remember my dad getting one of these when I was very small, and the biggest problem being holding it back and stopping it running away. We never thought of removing the wheels!

Great vid - I love tinkering with old stuff like this - not to your level thou - just a bit of paint and getting things running. I have an identical Westwood tiller like this - never seen another until now! Mine has a bucket and drive wheels to make it into a powered barrow.

You are very talented my friend!!

Hard work make it done. Great job, magnificent results.

Beautiful work my good man. I have a period correct American version of this tiller called a "Merry tiller" with a Briggs and Stratton 5HP. A little bigger, but I love it.

Nice, the labels came out very nice

I liked the access through the flywheel to change /set the points. The background music of real life tools being used is wonderful (no screeching techno girl bands). Rust removal, my friend put his stuff in the vinegar soak set it on top of the wife's heating / massage pad overnight. Worked great. Try using a hair dryer on heat gun to remove transfers. Great job. Narragansett Bay

Was looking for something to watch in bed before sleep. Preferably something relaxing.....and I hit the jackpot!!

It’s nice to see old machines that have been sitting in some brush to come back to life. Nice job.

That's an awesome restoration

Excellent job!!!!!

that came out mint!!! good job

Seriously excellent work. I stumbled across your outstanding channel today and can't stop watching. I'm supposed to be fixing my own car, but hey that can wait...a day... or three...

I just watched the 1hr long lawn mower vid and now this one. These are awesome man keep it up 👍

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.

You are the best Daggerwin!..I hate waiting for the next project but it's always worth the wait!

nice work, looks like new. Good engines, used to have the same one

Again AWESOME job bro. True craftsman , love the tools . My dad used little sticks to see how much oil was in the lawnmower , must be a old school thing. 😎👍

Who else doesn’t know a cylinder from a doorknob and yet fully enjoys watching these restores from beginning to end?

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.

Very nice daggerwin another awesome job

It's a museum piece now!

A brilliant restoration with massive skills, patience and desirable results.

Awesome restoration Daggerwin / Machinery restorer!!! You've got two well restored tillers now!! 👍👏 Keep up the good work! 😃

One of the finest restorations I've seen yet. Kudos to you and yours!

Wow an awesome restoration

Thank you for your video.

So many negative comments i see, very sad, this is for entertainment, are you not entertained? Most annoying thing is they're not even accurate. Thank you daggerwin, keep up the great work and effort you put into these videos :)
