Thanks for not playing music....The sound of the restortation is music of it's own.

I don't know about everyone else, but for myself, in this current World, where almost everything is entirely BS, I find your videos a very welcome and satisfying distraction from reality. Long may it continue! :)

It's soooo lovely to only hear what's happening, instead of stupid muzak..

It’s always great seeing an old machine rebuilt and returning to service. I’ll take that anytime over something similar that’s new from China.

The new old stock parts are fantastic, little gems in this restoration. Well done!

ah, good ol' old stuff, stuff thats actually MEANT to be taken apart.

I remember these engines very well, worked on them all the time as a kid.

Feel like ive been on safari, ive seen a world of parts i never laid eyes on. Great no music, no useless yapping, thanks.

wow that's the first time i ever seen a hydrolic puller .. that thing is sweet .. great vid!!

It's been a while, but as usual I am amazed at the articulate work and artistry you do when you are restoring these old relics.. You are really genuine , and I appreciate your videos..

This really does take the restoration process to an artform. Just mesmerising. 👍

Mechanical skill, a good memory, and an attention to the details made for an interesting rebuild, good job.

Fantastic rebuild, and what a piece of machinery! The engine reminds me of the 5 hp Briggs we had on the back of our AMF riding mower in the late 60’s early 70’s. It ran for years until one day Dad forgot to check the oil, ran it dry and it seized up. I took the engine off and rebuilt it for him, it ran for another dozen or so years before we gave the mower away. You could buy all of those parts at the local mower shop back then!

I never thought I'd be so happy watching a video of someone mowing the lawn. I want that lawnmower (or that type). No bog down cutting thick grass. I lost my favorite mower as a kid (one of those scary reel-to-reel 5hp craftsman) when the fuel hose got ripped of at the same time as the spark plug. Wish I could find another... burnt it all up

Been ages since I have seen you man, glad I'm back. Am I only one that likes the red assembly lube?

A video without music - wonderful.

Didn’t even know a hot washer existed before watching, great tool!

I love these old rebuild videos. I rebuild an identical engine from my parent's old rototiller in highschool for my auto shop final. Neat watching in such short time what took me over 6 weeks (only being able to work on it for an hour or so a day)

Brilliant Job. I worked on small Petter engines when I was a young apprentice, back in the seventies. It`s amazing what these little engines will take and still Run on.

What's insane is how much grass you can cut with that mower. I really want that mower.

Thanks! currently restoring a Hayterett mower with the same engine, good to see the strip and rebuild, very helpful. Thanks

That thing is so happy now! Just chugging along! Look at it!!!

I nerd out with stiff like this. Very well done video. No narration needed.making the old new again is , fun for the lack of a better word. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed this video. Just proves that a person needs the right tools for the job. Excellent work!

Growing up around old school hot rod guys, I learned a bunch if stuff so I figured I could pass it along to anyone who wants it. At about 18 minutes in he used that permatex assembly lube, which is good for bearing and seal surfaces, but at 19:30 he coated the cylinder wall with it which is wrong. Engine oil or assembly lube will make it harder for the rings to seat, I was told to use wd-40 or something equivalent. Also always coat both surfaces when putting bearing surfaces together (ex. Coat the pin bore in the piston and wrist pin its self not just one or the other) or it will leave some dry spots on the surface. Greatly enjoy the videos man and I also understand that engine building is a talent and most of us have different talents.

Thank you, you have helped me aspire to rebuild an engine, which I am doing right now, an old briggs and stratton rototiller motor.

Beautiful work and thumbs up for B&S for still having parts around.

Fantastic restore mate ! Brilliant content. Poetry in motion . Superb . Well done . 👏🏻👍🏻

Great job! My OCD wouldn’t let me fit that tremendous rebuilt engine into the machine until it was all cleaned and rebuilt. I’m envious to those that can.

Nice video! About 10 years ago my father brought me a Tecumseh LAV35 from our neighbor. I spent a lot of afternoons to restore it after school. I did almost everything you do in the video. Unfortunately the piston-ring replacement was not enought to avoid oil consume of the engine. After 4 years of using it the 45 years old lawn mower has been retired. Now it is a "statue" in my workshop. A lot of memories.

Love seeing these old mowers restored, they were built so much better back then. 👍

Like the Camembert dish for screws😎😎. Great rebuild👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Finally!! Someone that pre lubricates on assembly 👏 and a matching funnel. 👍

This was fun and educational to watch. Wonderful craftsmanship. Thanks for posting.

Great stuff you inspired me to save lawnmower from scrap and restore them thanks I have six in total 4 B&S one tecumseh and a Mountfield all running well restored ,it is a hobby I enjoy very much cheers for the inspiration

It was very satisfying to see the new rings at 18:04. I was happy to see the packaging has not changed. Brought back great memories.

You done a fine job rebuilding that engine; runs great.

Briggs. And. Stratton. Is. One. Of. Oldest Manufacturer. Of. Small. Engines. In. The. World. Well. Made. And. Well Built. Roger I. Have. One. On. My. Lawn. Mower.

This type of stuff really gets me excited, i love the videos man keep up the good work!

Great restore!!. Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome video

I really enjoyed watching you work. Thanks !

Excellent job cleaning that block casting!................Smart man, using Assembly lube instead of motor oil as an assembly lubricant!!.............I have seen several cylinders all scratched up from using oil instead of an assembly lubricant.

Good job I never had the ring compressor , always used a big hose clamp . Good job on the restoration , anymore those major jobs have turned in a disposable mowers because of the labor cost . I restored a. Old 3 1/2 Briggs push mower one time and put chrome rings in , sold it for it was 25 years old ( it was still running good when I sold it ) and bought a new one . But the old stuff was easy to work on - thanks for the reminiscing session .

You did a good job on this restoration. Very thorough.

I am a firm believer in breathing new life into tired iron. I would have run a dingleberry home on the cylinder for 15 seconds to knock the glaze off it. Good video.

These videos are calming to watch. Really not bad for a 54 year old engine!

Great job. That had a strong, even idle.

Very nice restoration on a truly magnificent yard machine...best wishes and stay healthy.

You do beautiful work. I wish there was a shop class like your videos when I was in high school (1973).

Is it weird that watching you loosen a straight slot screw is really satisfying to watch? Love the vids. Not enough mechanical genius vids to watch nowadays. Thanks for the videos.

This was much more interesting than I thought it would be.

These videos are so satisfying, keep up the good work mate

It's beautiful great work. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I like watching these repair video's. Thanks for the upload!

Wow ! This is a true tlc restoration! New rings, new conrod, new sump! When you took the head off it was so clean. Sludge in sump appears to be lead from the leaded fuel days. This engine was already built to handle unleaded fuel with such good valves. Only thing viewers would probably miss is a compression test before and after.

Ooo, those spring "Pliers" are so simplistically satisfying, so were the piston ring ones!

Nice job! Nice to see these classic Briggs engines get new life!

Big thumbs up for all the content on your channel, my dad has an old mower at the bottom of the garden and I’ve been watching all your stuff so I can have a crack at getting it going again , all the best 😀

An old Briggs and Stratton lives on. Lovely to see. It really is.

Awesome, enjoyed the clip. Thanks for sharing.

Wicked! A Rat Rod lawn Mower! It must be nice to have the specialty tools for the job, it makes life a lot easier. Good Job brother in keeping this old girl alive! 👍👍👍

Amazing video! Keep fixing them up👍

I found out that your best videos are when you talk and explain. I have learned so much when you talk. So please continue commenting. Otherwise there are plenty of channels who just shows work but does not teach. I do not watch for entertainment. Thx for video!

Beautiful work. Correct tools, knowledge how to use them, great craftsmanship. This engine can now work for another 50 years.

I really admire people who are gifted with these special kind of skills.

Great work...and great to see restoration carried out in decent boots and gloves and not a flip flop in sight!

Love the sound of that Briggs engine

Loverly rebuild, well worth your effort :-D No oil being burnt and it sounds very stable.

The engine sounds real healthy you did a great job you must’ve been gathering up those parts for years

Very good job. Thank you for sharing!

Lovely job. Well done.

So relaxing while doing hw also hopefully a deck rebuild

You got to do the rest man, lovely work.

Great restoration! I need to get my 1986 Snapper push mower restored because recently it started burning a little oil and around 5 years ago it started having a slight misfire

I wonder why he didn't hone the cylinder. I believe that is always recommended when installing new rings as it allows them to seat in well.

I like that piston ring extractor!

WOW, AWESOME RESTORATION

Nice video👌 superb result. Thxx

Top work there Dag keep it up your videos are fantastic.

I have watched many restoration videos, and you are the only one, that I've seen, that uses a torque wrench to put things back together. Another job well done sir.

Excellent work! I’m inspired!

I rebuilt a 1969 3 1/2 hsp last year painted the block Chrysler engine blue with white cowlings and breather. It runs my garden tiller.

Awsome job i love watching restorations

I figured you would replace more parts. Good job.

Great video, great job! I enjoyed it a lot. Next video; restoring the mower? 😏 Imagine the views, imagine the subs!

Cool old brush mower man, nice video

Wow what an awesome machine! Its really quite comical how there has been so many different designs for things that accomplish the same thing at the end of the day. But as they say, variety is the spice of life!

Thanks for posting!

that was very enjoyable, look forward to see whats next

Next object must be an old Wimbledon 1/4" heavy cylinder lawn mower for your turf garden, Daggerwin! ;D

Great job and thanks for sharing.

I wish I was this handy. Great video.

Looking at that style flywheel cover its a late 50s to mid 60s 5 hp engine cleaning like you did makes everything look so nice ! in fact you can see the serial # perfect I bet !! Job well done !!! 👍

great job! enjoyed watching

If that engine was alive it would say, "Thank the maker! This oil bath is going to feel so good!"

Amazing restoration

31:44 when filling the oil, do you always match the funnel color to the color of the engine? don´t you think you are carrying perfectionism a tad too far? ;)

what a craftsman. very fun to watch. thanks for making video

I could watch you build all day long!

Another great video . I would like to see the field you cleaned up ; and the trees you planted , even if they failed / died . Thank you
