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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

That truck looks better with each video. You are an inspiration to us all !!!!!!

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

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.

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

Wow the Old Girl Runs Again!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

Wonderful to watch thank you for sharing.

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.

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.

Just found your channel - some awesome content subscribed straight away - have to work my way through your videos now 😃cheers from Tasmania and keep em coming 👍🇦🇺

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

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

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

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..

one of your most enjoyable videos, not that I don't like the soind of your voice but you have such expressive hand gestures conveying thoughts and its great to concentrate on a capable pair of hands doing what they do best. Well done.

Awesome work. Thanks for saving instead of trashing.

Well done. Old engines like this were almost hand built and the knowledge to rebuild them is important. Better still, put them to use again.

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

Love seeing these old workhorses brought back to life, nice job. Do you know who or where it was built or what it was used for? Thumbs up for any video that includes a dog...in fact it should be in YTs terms and conditions that every video includes a dog.😊

Great work!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

Very cool video! I love going to thresher shows just to see the old engines running. Glad you save this one!

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

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.

Awesome Work You've Earned Yourself A New Subscriber From Aberystwyth , Wales Bless Up ❤

Excellent video, so satisfying to see you bring that beauty back to life. You have to listen to what it's telling you to get it to run right. Thanks for posting. Made a subscriber out of me 👍

Great video i can learn a lot off this type off video's. Thank you so muts. Greetings Martin from the Netherlands

Love the old classics.

Great to watch. Top class!

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

Excellent work thanks for saving

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

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

Nice job Thanks for sharing nice job.

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

This was absolutely worth of saving! Nice job 👍

enjoyed the video.glad you respect the design , engineering and fabrication that went into the making and restoring of a piece of history.amazing shop and talent you got

Good work, great that it runs once again.

Entered the UKposts rabbit hole and landed up on your channel. Loved your content especially the fact that there's no music. A new subscriber from Nagaland, India.

Glad to see there are still people that rebuild the old engines. I have one that is similar in size maybe a little smaller but haven't begun to do anything with it yet. Given their size the horsepower ratings always seemed low. My grandfather had one with five foot flywheels. I don't ever remember it running. Keep up the good work.

I used to start a smaller one of those for a neighbor when I was on my way to school. It filled a stock tank with a pumpjack. That was when I walked the mile plus to school. I filled the water reservoir, put in as much gas as I guessed it would need and went on my way across his section.

I like to tub old iron in a mixture of diesel and a little gasoline to softened all the old grease. I use a large poly tub with a snap on cover. I also like to brush the iron to make it like new. Just a personal preference. Nice job and i am sure that old iron feels like a young one again.

Done this so many times great memoties.

Good to see another video, nice save.

The furry poopyhead was really into the crankshaft work.. good helper no doubt

nice to see a survivor run and thanks for fixing it.

O_O!!!! Look at it go!! Amazing to think what it meant to the people of its time~

Well done, great to see

Outstanding job. Really enjoyed watching. You do great work. I'm a fan. 👍

Old iron engines are indestructible compared with the new modern engines fully designed with a lot of electronics stuff, you did a great job saving this old lady from the scrap 😊

Very Cool, no way I would scrap something like that without first doing an "autopsy" to find cause of death and the possibility of resurrection. ❗🤪👍

You sir, have some impressive skills!

Really good strip and repair , 25.20 its hard to believe that a small mouse lived in there . For your birthday try and get a copper hammer and a fixed wire buff .I believe that this rusty machine will turn into something to behold when your finished .

Brilliant!

I like history, specially when "the history" is working. Best wh. from Sweden.

Excellent ... good to see you didn't 'bling' it up with new paint.

Great job

I enjoyed this video! I valve seen several engines like this at fairs in South Dakota back about 50 - 60 years ago. The last one I saw running was at my amateur university back in late 70's - early 80's. You saved a piece of Amreicana from a long ago!

Awesome restoration!

Good job on saving that old engine.

awesome watching this rebuild

Great job, well done

Nice work indeed, amazing retore hello from down under.

Fine looking shop-dog supervising the job🐕

Excellent interesting

Whoa. That's really great.

Love the German precision sledge hammer!😅

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

a true engineer !!!

Congratulations, good work.

We had a old hit & miss on the farm, sounded similar. Good memories.

I can't believe you got that to run! I would love to see this engine with the rust completely removed and an era appropriate paint job applied.

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 !!

Fantastic job.

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.

Hi, Just found your channel. I have never seen someone do a full tear down of a Hit & Miss Engine. 👍🤠

Great video….

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.

Well done fella a nice job well done!. Auld Tam in Ayr.. a nice clear viseo too...
