SAVED from the SCRAP PILE!!! Will this 100 year OLD engine RUN AGAIN? Engine REVIVE & Will It Run!! 

Nice save! Glad you were able to rescue this one and make it run again. I love the old iron and it would break my heart to scrap an engine capable of running again.

I love old technology, we wouldnt be where we are today without it, watching you save and get these old timers running again is so satisfying. I am looking forward to the magneto video, and the progress on this old girl, all the best big fella from the UK.

Excellent work, so good to see these old engines brought back to working condition. They are a tangible part of our industrial heritage.

Very nice! I love listening to those engines run. Its a comforting sound to me. On the farm when I was a boy, I could here one on the pump jack running 24/7. It produced all the natural gas to power the irrigation motors and lots more. So long as it was cared for, it ran and was very rarely shut off. We kept parts on hand for repairs and it was never down for long. It ran on the natural gas so it didnt carbon up. It was perfect for that application.

Nice clean up and restoration. Thank you for bringing this great machine back to life.

Excellent job in getting the engine running again! Now... you have to disassemble it completely, clean and polish everything, sandblast, steam clean, paint all the outside, measure everything with the right tolerances, and reassemble, and will look and work like a brand-new engine! keep up the good work! Don't forget to do the same thing for the 4-wheeled cart!

I love watching videos like this. No useless talking or music in the background. It's very distracting n gets on my nerves. The sound of your tools is music enough. Nice job.

Thank you for making this old engine run again, a most enjoyable video. It makes a change to see somone repairing stuff rather than just throwing it away.

I am very impressed. We had one just exactly like this one - and in the same degree of neglect. Where I grew up had been an old farm and this was just sitting out in the woods. My father brought it in to tinker with it. He called it: "a one-lunger," but he didn't want to put in the amount of work that you did here. This was over 60 years ago, so it wasn't old enough then to be an "antique," but not new enough to be worth saving, so it sat outside until I left for college in 1971. What happened to it after that I have no idea. So, it was great to see this one actually working! Thanks!

I am speechless, what a bring back. Well done hope your proud of her.

Got to say I prefer narrated vids. I like hand tool rescue, but I prefer the voice with it.

I’ll say when I work in my own shop on my antique engines and equipment it sounds very much like this video does, and most times it’s relaxing to just wrench on something and not explain every detail. Really in my honest opinion if their watching for education and they have a question or concern they WILL ask you. People that just watching for entertainment aren’t here to learn anything. You do good work sir, and I enjoy it

Great video but should have soaked the bore with penetrating oil or diesel for a couple of days...Sledgehammering out the piston was brutal! Oh, and get a decent set of tools eh?

Each hit or miss engine has it's own rhythm, I like to listen to the patterns.

Was not expecting to see somewhat modern-looking two-piece insert journal bearings. Very cool. You can certainly tell it was designed and manufactured in an era when diy maintenance was the norm. A dream to work on even after a century!

I watched this twice . I love to see these great pieces of History saved. As always I liked and shared. Glad to see you back Sir. All my very best.

Mate, some of your tools are positively ancient. That lathe is best of all it's so beautiful, and the drill press is second only to the lathe and that old pressure thingy works so well without the aid of pneumatics. It's lovely to see a guy who respects old machines in use and fixing, but can also combine modern tools as well. A great restoration video using some tools themselves restored. It was very pleasant watching you restore this old engine back to use, using some tools not far removed from the engine itself. A really great restoration video using some wonderful old tools. Cute doggy to.

I think you should have put all the parts through the parts washer before putting it back together

Holy Moly what a beautiful sound. Old fellow in town here in Vermont had one of these. He ran his cider mill with it. On a crisp fall evening it brought the town alive. Thank you !

Wow the Old Girl Runs Again!

That's a lovely old engine and just how I like to find them. I've had to cut engines out of trees before now and managed to save them without breaking a single part.

Like many others I had an issue with your use of an adjustable wrench on other videos, but after watching this you really know your stuff and I trust you know what you are doing. I apologize for being so shallow, and look forward to learn your knowledge

Excellent! No f-face and no music to disturb ... this is how to do it!

You made my day. Thank you for saving this example of power from the past. What was it used for can you share. Once again good job.😊

I'm an old shade tree Mechanic myself! Started out with nothing more than leftover tools from my Dad (they were all crap) taught myself, with the help of hot rod magazines, and built 4 great street worthy cars, which I drove for many years! This guy has a soft spot in my heart!

Brilliant workmanship and a good save of the old machine 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Top Vice one could only imagine how much hard graft thats seen...Absolutely this engineering history needs saving..

awsome work sir.i have worked on these in the past years. you realy lucked out the way the nuts and screws came off. thank you for saving the engine

Greetings from Australia. What a beautiful piece of kit. You did a great job mate. Goodvwork

*Just amazing that you can makes it run again.*

I grew up in an oil field town, listening to these engines at night. Later I worked on engines just like this, only the flywheel was about six feet in diameter. They ran on well head gas from a copper tube from the well head, and were started with your foot and arms. Take the spark plug out and squirt a little gasoline in and they would start up easily. The only reason they were shut off was to work on the well.

We used a 3 hp version on a truck frame with steel decks to cut firewood for 20 yrs or so. Belt driven; that is where I learned to make / repair drive belts.

Its a real testament to old engineering, no built in obsolescence, thay were made by companies that had real pride in their work and faith in their abilities

Great job! Thanks for saving her!! Would be nice to see it all primed and painted restored to it's original glory!

Yes I do like to hear you narrate your videos! It makes them a lot better! Keep up the great work!

This would be a great application for one of those laser cleaners.

Old rusty engine brought back to life, then put on an old rusty cart! Perfection!! Even got to hear it run. Even better!

That is amazing how you restored that 100-yeat-old gas engine running at all, even though you had some trouble getting it to run at first.

Love the adjustable crescent hammer 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm sure glad you are saving the old iron. Good job young man.

Nice find,,who would scrap a 100yr old engine?

What a beautiful sound! Music to the ears! That you were able to find an engine that intact was a feat in itself! Not how they are usually found. Ready for the fine adjustments and as close to period painting as possible.

I used to take mine to shows. One fella told me to put coffee grounds into cheese cloth, 1/2 a cup, in the water tank and it'll drive people nuts wanting to know where the coffee pot was. The best part was after the show I drained the tank and it was clean as you could want. Good video, I'll be watching.

Awesome work. Thanks for saving instead of trashing.

I really like that you didn't paint it all up with pinstripes etc.

Fantastic thank you, keep doing your thing, 👍

Super job.👍💫 Fuel consumption should be very good and torque insane. Not too loud either. Would be a great base for a diy emergency bugout powergenerator. Now that you know all the ins and outs of it, you can get it always to work somehow with no need for buying expensive spareparts and with simple homemade bushings and tweeks. Good investment😉👍 Greetings from Tasmania ☀️

Re-bored one of these that we used for water pumping many years; Cracked water jacket needed welding and used a CAT cylinder sleeve to do so. That Press needs sandblasting and re-painting. lol Journal sanding-- a slotted spool with a loop of sanding tape with a drill set on low will do a fast and slick job; just do NOT put a lot of pressure !!

Angry Farmer is my go to for tough jobs. Absolutely love that stuff. 👍🏻

Love ❤ the format. Disassemble, clean, repair, reassemble with very little talking. 👍

Excellent. So interesting. And not spoilt by rubbish music.

Great work!!!

I’m amazed you needed to replace so few parts and am greatly impressed you machined a part or two. I don’t believe we are better off when these old engines can go a hundred years. Some ran on several types of fuel that were oil based. Anyway, good job and thank you for omitting the chatter.

I don't know what it is about these old engines that peak my interest. I think it has something to do with they are so different from the way I'm used to seeing an engine engineered and I'm amazed at how old they are and that the they still work. I'm also amazed at how basic they are and robust they are. It's like if you take care of them they'll run a life time. Makes me wonder what other types of fuel they'd run on. I wonder if they could be made to run on wood gas, propane or even natural gas. If they could run on wood gas, holy cow you could run these for almost for free. Thanks for sharing. Loved the video bud. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

You have to just love an old Johnny Popper. One of these things on a farm transformed that owner into an "Uptown Farmer". Pumping water, grinding grain, and I even saw one stepped down to power an early washing machine. Talk about impressing your wife at the time. Nice job! Love the channel!

I love these hit and miss engines. Just a little adjustment of the regulator and shell run fine. They run better under load

Glad you were able to get her running again!

Great to see a nice, well built engine being saved from scrap! Thanks, great work!

I could watch that run all day. Beautiful!

Dude..very impressive and appreciate the fact you love Old Timey stuff..you deserve so many more subs/views..new sub

Very impressive. So glad for my grandchildren, to know that there are still people around that can fix stuff. Thank you for sharing your adventure..

Nice save. A couple of years ago they had a couple of fully restored hit-and-miss farm engines running at a Labor Day weekend festival at the old Seale, Alabama courthouse.

Extremely satisfying to watch, thanks for saving a bit of history!!!

Thats a good Idea to save the old maschines.Thank you :-) Gratulation to the run.

old engineering, well done . Takes me back to my youth working on steam engines

awsome work sir.thank you for saving the ole boy. love the old engines.fool with them myself

Love the old classics.

Good job! Do not overrestore! Fresh paintjob = 2 hours, this lovely patina = 100 years..😊

Born on a farm in 1941 had this type of motor everywhere. Potato riddle, stack elevator, root vegetable chopper, down the field under an old stack sheet pumping water. Eventually driving a generator where the lights dimmed between firing strokes and the early tv picture changed size. Wish we had kept some.

Bonsoir Une belle restauration 👍 C’est toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos.

At 35:00 the boss inspect your project. The comment is "Good job!" Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland

Dude that Mobil gargoyle sign in the back ground is rad!!!

Amazing! Congratulations. Love This!

Excellent job, congratulations !!! I hope that engine will give you so many satisfactions in the near future

Fantastic workmanship

Love seeing old bits of kit getting another go!. Bril!, Nuff said! 🙂

Good work, great that it runs once again.

Someone would have to be pretty clueless to scrap one of these nowadays. I can't believe that. They sell for 3 to 10 times what they used to 35 years ago.

Very Cool ! You brought it back to life ! Thanks for sharing this experience.

🎉 Absolutely awesome. The workings of old school vs what we are use to today. Basically same technology. Great job on the rebuild. Not sure where you found rings...😅

Wonderful to watch thank you for sharing.

Fantastico!, estos motores chinos aguantan varios años sin destruirse.

There is no way anyone could resurrect a modern engine that was 100 years old with simple hand tools. Efficient? Nah. But they can be made to run. Great channel. New subscriber.

The honing tool looked like throwing an hot dog through an rainpipe...

Great restoration on this old engine. You did a masterful job.

Brilliant. Reminds me of getting a 1924 Lister going in 1978 with my Dad. I turned some Caterpillar valve guides down to suit, they had the right bore size. Lots of solid rust in the water jacket took ages to clean out. Internally the engine was in good nick. It had been on a Stothert and Pitt (Bath, England) concrete mixer. Loved 35.24 on where Doggo seems very interested in the crank polish up. Our Staffy usually supervises my projects. God bless. Dave New Zealand. 🙂

awesome watching this rebuild

This could only be a fun and enjoyable project! I would have loved it if I was part of the process of getting it running!! Best regards maarten

Glad to see someone keeping this stuff alive. Good work!

I’m sure I could pull it apart, clean it, but then ,getting it back together again, not a hope, that is what I admire in guys like you, keep up the good works 🍷🍷👍👍👍👍👍

what an accomplished mechanic amazing

put a peice wood or rag in the cylinder head keeps the valves from pushing in when you push the spring down to remove keeper. Love these old motor projects. So neat to hear them run.

Thank you for saving it's life. 😄 At 68 years I've got some worn out parts too. 😹

Good to see another video, nice save.

I agree, nice work !

Good job! Thanks for sharing!

That kind of stuff should never be scrapped. It's like scrapping history. Poor old thing.

When you were trying to start it the first time, you must have had something binding. It seemed like it was turning very tight. The rings too big / not gapped enough, or perhaps the bearings too snug / not shimmed enough. To me your intake sounded pretty typical. I would not have said that spring was too weak. They all pretty much sound like that.

Done this so many times great memoties.

fantastic , thank you for restoring this old pice of mechanic. M.S. from germany 😊
