Broken Antique Tiller tear down, can it be saved?

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!

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.

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

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’m a master technician for Mercedes Benz, and I learn something new every time I come to your channel! You inspired me to take on a Honda 185s three wheeler that sat in the woods for 15 years. I’m having a blast restoring it!

Thanks to you Mustie I fixed my first small engine. A free 1964 Evinrude Yachtwin I found on the side of the road. It needed a carb clean and rebuild, new coils and head gasket, cleaned and adjusted points and now it runs good! Thank you

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 😁

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

I actually love that you don't give up on these, you have all the tools and knowledge, so until you have parts missing I'm super happy you explore the options

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.

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!

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.

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.

This reminds me of how most of my projects go. Everything's a battle! Thanks for another great video, Mustie.

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

Puts the cap on the tank - “Don’t wanna get any dirt in there” 😂

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.

honestly, thank you so much for your videos. not this one in particular but all of them. your videos have given me enough knowledge to confidently work on my own equipment and it officially payed off when i went to start my mower today and it didn't work. i managed to get it up and running and that alone boosted my self confidence so much. something so small meant so much to me so thank you.
