Hey guys. I know this video has been very long awaited but finally I am able to have a go at starting my Ransomes Crawler. What a journey it's been. Nearly a year exactly since I started this project and it looks nothing like it did back then! Still more to do but there's not much left now!
I hope you all enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching 😁

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

Hey all, thanks for the feedback! Just a note for you all. There’s nothing that holds the gudgeon pin in. It floats in the piston. It has little Ali caps on the end of it to allow it to rub the bore without damage. There’s no way to secure it or put clips in.

@thisoldminewithlars5324 Месяц назад

This was common in some engines back in those days. I have even seen this in aircraft and large stationary engines. As long as the pin does not stick in its bore, no problem.

@pisstinpete4700 Месяц назад

Indian motorcycles also did that

@lectro88 Месяц назад

When I saw you stick the cylinder on, I thought to myself.. hmm something looked waaaay too easy in that clip,. I had to go back and re-watch it, I saw you easily aline the wrist pin, but I didn't see any snap rings, cir clips or button caps. Good job putting this pin comment. You did an outstanding job, A little polishing on the timing and Carb and she will be purring.

@commanderkratticus7255 Месяц назад

Hell yeah, that smile when she fired up says it all.

@wales4me139 Месяц назад

Your smile when it started says it all 👍

@multipower617 Месяц назад

Kim, your skills, dedication and resourcefulness is second to none, making nuts and bolts particularly impressed me

@LordMuck Месяц назад

I think you're doing yourself down, to get a 1930's engine to fire up and run as well as it does first time out is a great achievement. You can tweak and tune it after a few hours running 👌🏼

@billupstateny9151 Месяц назад

Lord Muck with a compliment, receiving his respect is well worth the work effort 👌🆗

@user-bw8jg5nl8j Месяц назад

Second what Lord Muck says. Quite an achievement. Wear it Proudly.

@whatscoldoing5627 Месяц назад

Well done on a classic restoration. These old girls are always worth the effort Kim. These little workhorses have found their way around the world including here in Australia.👍🏆

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

There’s quite a lot of them in Australia I think? Always see people posting in the groups about them. Thanks 😊

@thisoldminewithlars5324 Месяц назад

I have one here in California. Not running, yet.

@richardmortimer9917 Месяц назад

Hi love the great job you have done. I have just bought a MG5 and was wondering where you got the track hardware/rubber washers from as mine all need replacing. Your help would be much appreciated

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

Hi Richard, all of the parts came from Neil Jarrett. His email is njarrett@btinternet.com if you ask him about an up to date parts list. He’s in the Ransomes group on Facebook. That groups called Ransomes MG Crawlers, a lot of very good info in there.

@mikejohansson6711 Месяц назад

Ah.... a lovely Britt with the accent. Who knows her way around a shop and tools to boot! I spent 5 years stationed in England in the Cotswold. Very beautiful place. I love working on the old iron. God bless.

@MADKIWI Месяц назад

Spot on Kim, I know of a Ransomes crawler in a sad sight atm also one that uses a a single furrow, for plowing matches..... Mucka will be proud of you. 10/10 from me....😊

@MADKIWI Месяц назад

Also, they are in NZ. Next trip here, I hope.....

@bishopcorva Месяц назад

Using the lathe for rust removal on the inside of the fuel tank is a nifty idea. Only you'd need something more than just sand. A short length of smaller link size (think chain dog lead) of chain rolling around the inside would help get any scale pieces off the inside. After that follow with steel nuts and bolts of about 8-9 millimeter size, maybe about as long as the end of your finger turning at as slow a speed as your lathe can manage. Polish with steel shot and or blasting sand.

@chox2001 Месяц назад

Congratulations the hand cranking isn’t easy, it’s surprising how tiring it is to do. Hopefully you can get the last few bits finnished and get it all running and starting perfectly and get it to one or 2 summer shows for restored equipment. 👍👏

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

That’s the plan 😎 I’ll be doing the last few bits inbetween jobs. Be done soon I hope.

@jackreed3445 Месяц назад

I loved your smile when it started and ran. Great job and a great result. Now on to putting around the yard with it. Take care, stay safe, jack, In The Valley of The Sun, Arizona, U.S.A.

@easymoney4796 Месяц назад

Kudos young lady your smile when it fired up was beautiful❤️👍

@jameshodgson1609 Месяц назад

Great work Kim, your smile when it started was as big as Leo’s when Tally ho starting sailing on his video yesterday. Only problem is your delaying me going out to the shed to get my 1952 Atco lawnmower to start ( currently no spark). Look forward to further videos on this Ransomes

@rickradford3920 Месяц назад

We all smiled when it started, but your smile says it all! Congratulations Kim 😊 🎈

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

😁 thank you. I was thrilled!

@seanworkman431 Месяц назад

You're smile at the end made it all worthwhile. Great job Kim.

@kenmurray4232 Месяц назад

There is nothing more satisfying than getting an engine running for the first time. A very tidy job done on the Ransom. Thanks for sharing.

@tomcarr8666 Месяц назад

As already said by many, but that smile at the end 😍

@gogglet72 Месяц назад

Well done Kim the look on your face when it started shows how pleased you were to get it running. Excellent project you have done a brilliant job!!

Nicely done! I just can't get over how massive the fuel tank mounts are, lol!

@whitestream5233 Месяц назад

You have done an amazing job on that Ransomes Crawler . It sounds good and looks like new. And you looked happy when it fired up. Looking forward to your next video Kim. All the best

@andy2950 Месяц назад

Congratulations, Kim.🎉 That crawler is beautiful. It's museum quality and should be on display. 👍

@pcplayermalc Месяц назад

That's an awesome effort, it looks really good! You should be proud of yourself. I always remember one of these being at a vintage rally as a kid, it was the coolest thing there.

@ianmckay1780 Месяц назад

Yes! She starts, and run . Granted she's a bit rough, but a bit of fettling will see her right. Well done Kidder!!!

@eweunkettles8207 Месяц назад

when crank it over you should hear a click from the magneto impulse coupling as its winding up the armature is not moving so it retards the timing in relation to the crankshaft then the dogs move inward ad the spring flicks the mag opens the points and voila big spark also the timing advances as the dog weights are moved inward by centrifugal force if this is working and the mag is good it should only need a short pull to start , not cranked till your exhausted mag coil resistance between ht out and points wire in should be around 4

@davidgibbings6085 Месяц назад

Great vid Kim , you’re so talented n glad to see mucker to. Both you’re channels are brilliant 👍👌 as mucker would say party gas n send it 🤣🤣

Fantastic restoration Kim, just a little fettling and it will be running fine.👍

@rodgercaldwell7804 Месяц назад

A proper nut and bolt restoration. Top job!

@cheechU38K Месяц назад

Fabulous restoration Kim! Such a cute little crawler. 😍 you’re an inspiration to all young girls 😎

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

Thank you ☺️

@coniow 23 дня назад

For clearing rust out of old fuel tanks I have seen old nuts, bolts and washers used to remove most of the rust, (shaken up or rotated as you have done), followed by some molasses with hot water to finish off the clean. It seemed to be effective. They also used to use Coka-Cola to remove rust in Portsmouth Dockyard.

@andrewforeman5716 Месяц назад

Your smile and look of relief at it starting show your commitment to the restoration. Well done Kim.

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

I’d been fiddling with it for a few hours before it finally went. So I was relieved!

@MatthewHenson. Месяц назад

Excellent job, probably the best mg2 around. A real credit to you. one thing I would say is, It's probably best to get the engine to compression and then pull up on the handle. Pushing down on the compression stroke could break your arm if it backfires. Looking forward to seeing it move under its own power.

@bobroberts6155 21 день назад

Good advice, kickback when hand starting can catch out those new to the art, keeping your thumb out of the way is also wise. What a great restoration, loved every part of it.

@mikebradley6880 Месяц назад

The smile says it all! Awesome job!!

@hedgerowpete Месяц назад

@beakittelscherz5419 Месяц назад

Don't worry, you're doing great, Kim! Every Time I try to fix a machine I haven't had my hands on before I have to re-do stuff bc I forgot something or had to figure out bc stuff was missing.. Esp. the 50cc scooters are prone to double work. Bc they are not mandatory to go to german TÜV ,and only needs insurance, EVERYONE is messing with them around.I am at the state where I open up every machine , just to have a look at it before driving, despite it "runns fine". There is not one Scooter that wasnt fiddled with or had screws mixed up.Or holes in airfilters or shit done to make it run faster , so that some 16year old can go 5 km quicker than his friends..haha. I guess thats why people finally leave them alone... ( and all the Plastic "wrenching" which isnt fun at all).And move on to higher cc! Love your videos. would watch them even without fast foreward. Interesting stuff!

@CalamityKim1 Месяц назад

It’s always the way isn’t it. I’ve done a fair amount of that with this. It can be very frustrating.
