A little JB Weld to repair that block and you'll have that thing running like new. Just kidding. Thanks for another terrific video.

I enjoy the fact he acts like we're standing there watching in the shop. Makes it more fun.

Love your videos son..no sales or bad attempts at comedy...just the real deal...when you hit a snag you keep us with you and find your way out...you keep cool with a good attitude....keep em coming...

The challenge, even when the engine/car/boat wins, is why I like to watch your videos! Besides, even at nearly 80 years old, I still learn new (to me) techniques!

If I popped that head off and found that rusty mess I would have quit. Mustie laughs and gets to work. Legend

Without being repetitive, I’m glad someone knows how to use the impact driver. Please explain fully every time you use it, others might catch on 😁

I would have loved to hear this run... brought back memories of when I was a 12 yr old kid at a neighbors (Mr Roberts) yard sale and he gave a similar model to me. We kids wore ourselves out pull starting - wrapping the rope - no recoil. Eventually a friends dad helped us run a v belt around the pulley to a garden tractor and not knowing what we were doing started fiddling with the carburetor screws. It came to life! Mine had no tines and a t-bar handle with a lever to engage the wheels. We tied the red wagon handle to the to it and sat in the wagon with the t-handle out over the wagon to steer. Gosh, we must have put hundreds of miles on the thing around the property. Neighbor kids would come over with their wagons. For a four wagon train, I found it effective to shove a piece of wood in the front and cantilever a bunch of bricks on the end I found in the garage for added traction. So much fun as a young kid in a small New Hampshire town.

I actually own one of these. I've pulled it out of the barn multiple time over the course of 30+ years. Most of the time a quick carb clean and new plug did the trick. Last time required new points/condenser/coil. Still runs like a champ. All original internals.

Trying to get some little old ladies yard ornament to run, can be a daunting task. lol, You just know she had it out there with the concrete goose and the garden gnome.

Thanks that was a fun watch. I kinda miss the old garage though.

Finally one old enough, rusty enough, frozen up enough even this one could not be brought back. Everyone once and a while some have to get away no matter how hard you try.

I inherited my Dad’s Allis-Chalmers B. Engine seized when I got it. 2 cylinders were rusted from the valves being open and sitting in a humid barn basement for 10 years. Very long story short, after using various potions of Mystery Oil, trans fluid and acetone for a month, none of which did much, I filled the cylinders with Evapo-Rust and 24 hours later, the pistons moved for the first time in years. The tractor now runs fine, still has good compression, and the pistons have never been taken out.

I hope you have another old motor in the stash. It would be great to see that thing operate again!!! Thanks for another great upload!

the man that revamped my love for air cooled VW. love ya Mustie!

Mustie1, the Dad everyone wishs they had! Thanks for another great video!
-
Oh man, you gave it a good shot. Most guys would have quit long before you did. It was fun to watch.

Puts the cap on the tank - “Don’t wanna get any dirt in there” 😂
-
"Lovingly Restore" it, like the marine engine was, and donate it to a museum. Then in another 50 years, Mustie3 can have another go at it .
-
This reminds me of how most of my projects go. Everything's a battle! Thanks for another great video, Mustie.
