👌

great job daggerwin I mentioned machinery restorer in your live stream

Just wondering if you slapped your forehead like I do when I do this kind of stuff??!! :-)

No, it's a learning experience

It's your point of view, pay no attention to us. Thanks for a great rebuld.

85 toI'm OK km o hi

Me too

Exactly

start buying tools one by one. I buy one tool every month

It looked like it that's for sure. Must of been a yard ornament.

Just half looked like it was used as an anchor. The other half was covered somehow lol

😂😂😂

I was thinking a barrel of muriatic acid!

like dio brando!

love your comment....it's awesome

@@leifhietala8074 My first thought was "Built in 1980 - and then immediately parked in the sea!"

Salt mine

You can get addicted to restoration videos!

Dale D pplppl

Nothing like watching others work! It just chaps my ass when arm chair mechanics criticize this or that.. They should make their own damn video

(Ppl ppl) ?? I musta missed something

Shane Buckley and healing too

At first I was like why restore it, it isnt that old then I realized 1980 was 29 years ago. :-) edit: nope still wrong *39 years ago* damn doesnt seem that long ago.

@@thewilddinkus8026 I know, right..

Had to watch it all the way through.

Congratulations, you now have the best museum-quality $39 Montgomery Wards tiller ever sold. In a great market at the right auction that could bring perhaps $200.

I am the same way Holy shit, maybe we are related!

Same here, I usually end up with spare parts

Same. Usually I have some extra parts left after assembling :)

A am the opposite

@@_Dwarkin I repaired a battery hedge trimmer and have 3 screws left over DOH!

Using old piston rings that had visible signs of deterioration would be on reason.

@@gus6rocks makes sense that it could be the reason, but IMO it would be better to leave a constructive comment rather than a thumbs down. His ability to restore equipment is already far superior to the average person, I can't see how one oversight deserves 140+ thumbs down. I'd like to see any of those people try and attempt this :)

gus6rocks - You wouldn’t just go and replace the piston rings due to visible signs of wear. First - you need a reason such as evidence of poor compression or a smokey engine but this is a 3hp garden tiller that doesn’t even turn over to start, so no evidence it has either of those issues. Second, in an old engine the rings, pistons, bores have all worn together, so you could end up making a good engine bad swapping parts out like that and ending up with the issue you were trying to fix that didn’t exist before but now does. The best thing to do in this engine is exactly what he did - get it cleaned up, run it, test it and if there are any running issues deal with them then. A quick run clearly demonstrated it was working fine and no such serious expensive mechanical fixes were needed aside from a strip, and a good clean, with only bearings and seals/gaskets needed. That’s how I would have done it too, and as Martin Murphy said it didn’t deserve a thumbs down not for any reason in my opinion. These machinery and tool restoration videos do such a fabulous job of encouraging others to dig in and see how things work, and really help look after our history. Upside down sticker - now it’s one of a kind. LOL.

You could ask that about any video on YT. Someone could save a drowning puppy from a frozen lake and it will get some down votes. Go figure.

gus6rocks - I know you gave one reason mate, you may be right in why someone gave a thumbs down, but you are WRONG in what you say, it is NOT BAD PRACTICE to re use old piston rings. It’s not like changing your brake fluid, brake pads, engine oil, coolant, or any other wearable part or consumable item that’s always to the benefit of the engine, if you just go and change piston rings you could be doing more harm than good, to a perfectly working engine. It would be best practice to change the rings, and pistons and rebore/hone the cylinders yes together, but BAD to change the rings alone. If you don’t understand that you don’t understand engines at all. And as he showed in the end result, engine ran fine. Sorry dude but you’re wrong

Amszing mehanik, good restoration!

Agreed - I want to watch the takedown and the repair. Incessant talking and too much music detracts from the quality of the video.

I know exactly what you speak of. Got a kick outta that one.

Yeah no joke.. that #3 plug

Sean Spell stop

Because it's not actually rusted, its a method where you basically put it in fire, if left to rust without this method it would've gotten into the threading and made it alot harder, its something along the lines of rapid oxidation from the combustion of a material, meaning its just fast rusting

@@jordanfenwick123 it a joke about fords not chem class home boy 😂😂

Sometimes it can be quite satisfying to watch some of these restoration channels they make something that almost looks as if it's gone too far lost to time and nature yet they managed to turn back the clock and make it beautiful again from Cars to desk fans lawn mowers and in this case a tiller

Yes, SALTY flood waters.

I kinda work with gokarts and small engines as a hobby.

Yup

Hold up, so the corrosion became non-existent?....or the parts?

@@martinramirezjr7872 the parts were completely disintegrated from the ultra sonic cleaner

@@gregleblond6039 Dear god.

@@martinramirezjr7872 try explaining that one to the supervisor

Wait so it uses sound to remove corrosion

I am from England not America

Yep, these type of tillers usually came with a spud. You're probably missing that piece but you can't help that the previous owners lost it!

steve A mate yeah it is cool and it would be great if everyone repaired all of their tools. But that amount of effort for everything would be insanely long

This great job!!!!And good video!!!

good job!!!!

I was wondering where he found some of those gaskets for a tiller from the 80s

Lol

yea same im like whyy

this beutifol restoration!!!! And good job!!!

Not that hard.. doing a full OEM restoration on a 1969 honda trail 70..

Probably a week.

good job!!!!

He's supposed to remove the wheels but leave the support bracket on this then leaves two drag stakes or depth gauges as they are called in the uk
