I thoroughly enjoyed this restoration. I can't imagine how many hours you have into this. I especailly liked seeing the different ways you came up with removing pulleys and bushings and exahust pipe. And recreating the tags but maintaining the original serial numbers etc. was brilliant. Awesome job all around and great narration.

Thank you for making this excellent restoration video, brings back many memories. When I was growing up we had one on the farm, when I was barely old enough I started using this wonderful machine on our farm, it was quite heavy and needed some serious strength to keep upright & from toppling over, quite a high centre of gravity! Ours had the B&S engine originally I think, but it blew up and we replaced it with a Mitsubishi engine, which threw the conn-rod I think, then the final engine was a Kohler. After many years of hard slog, I credit this machine for giving me great upper body strength. I hope it gives you great pleasure and satisfaction using it. Cheers from NZ. (PS: I am two years older than this machine)

That took me right back to the one I had in the eighties. It was a fearsome beast and I remember putting it into reverse and it backing me into a thorn hedge as I couldnt disengage the drive and those tines meant business ! I made a single furrow ridger for mine and it was great for potatoes. It somehow got "lost" in a house move, but I recently found the owners manual for it.

@rotax636nut5Рік тому
You were very lucky that the gearbox was in good order, when I restored my Howard 350 about 15 years ago the gears were all worn beyond repair so I ended up making most of the replacement parts myself, (fortunately I am an engineer and I had a fully equipped workshop) while I was at it I got rid of all the plain bushings between the gears and the shafts and converted to needle roller bearings throughout the gearbox, at the time I couldn't get any spare parts or gaskets so I had to make everything myself. I replaced all the bearings, seals and chains and eventually I got it all done, I also replaced the tyres and the tynes and converted the tynes to double row. The old Howard is still performing flawlessly to this day and leaks no oil. I also overhauled the Kohler K141 engine and replaced the piston, carb, exhaust and fuel tank. The engine runs perfect and can really do a job of work on my small holding, the last time it was used the engine started first pull with 2 year old petrol in the tank and did everything I asked of it, these are truly great machines
