First + babe wake up new video just dropped

Christoph Jones

+56min?! Can't wait. I was just thinking last night that a nice long HTR video would really hit the spot.

Woodhead Works

You'll finally be able to mow the 20,000 acre family farm!

That beast looks like a machine from Machinery Restorer’s nightmare! It’s green, so it can sneak up on unsuspecting lawnmower restorers easily. the handle reminds me of the slope & rice field berm offset mowers here in Japan. The two paint colors - old dark and new light green paint - are also on the noodle cutters; the old ones seem so much darker than the ones grandpa roughly cleans up and tries to sell at the flea market.

About the tiny crack on one of the wires in the magneto, since the voltages coming out are in the kV range, is probably arced over inside and you didn't get an arc at the spark plug end.

Allen Carter

Like something out of a Stephen King short story!

John willis

Follow-up: the steel, green, copper pipes & brass *is* glorious!

Steve Z

Oh my, yet another absolutely awesome restoration! Bit of a sacre bleu-cheese moment that you didn't know or remember that spinny-roundy things are often reverse-threaded. I'm reminded the hard way with much cursing!

Brian Fisher

First, thanks for the new video! I'm always excited to see the newest project. I had some trouble with volume on this video. Sometimes your narration was drowned out by the background audio and then with the differences in volume between hand tools, hammers and die grinders, I was frequently turning it up and down.

Raul Ramos

Awesome, now the extended version on a journal mode with all the frustration. 35 hours director cut and no bleep over

Marco

Would love to see!

Martin Burkert

you touched the shaft and maybe used ur soathing voice on her, wont be never ever stable again

Huge big nut guy

I was beginning to wonder if you had just... died, man. Perhaps that would have been your preferred outcome? She purr tho, can't wait to see the grassification.

Have you ever tried to reach out to Morris magneto here in the Tampa Fl area? Eric from FnA bought them and I know they work on old magnetos.

James Holmes

19 hours of you yelling at the clouds sounds like some of the best sleep relaxing sounds

what a beast. guessing golf courses where there was room to turn around..have you weighed it? google sucks now with the ai and all, trying to find info on old '20-30's ac motors, latest free CL haul is a 90 yr old lathe with a motor that works in one direction, but not the other, unless you hand start it backwards, then seems to run fine..anyone reads this and has a suggestion would be appreciated.

Hand Tool Rescue

I probably did. I called EVERYWHERE. They were all backed up for months.

Hand Tool Rescue

I actually still doesn't make sense because when you move the machine forward, it unthreads inself.

Brent Goodell

Anyone else sing, "this is stuck, this is stuck. This is stuck, this is stuck", during the intro? Originally from the tamper video

Evan Lacks

I needed this video so much. Thanks for the content. Very talented and skilled, I love how thorough you are. Keep it up.

Driver

Amazing. Me thinks this is your sign to finally restore a new lathe for yourself. Make it a two-parter. I will light candles whilst watching.

david brown

Sounds like a new Patreon level is in order

Lorrie Mussett

So good to get a new video I love what you do and I find you hilarious! Look forward to more whenever you want to share!

Old Crow Bourbon

There was a place in Ft Myers FL that rewound motors. They did a giant ventilation fan motor for me. But that was in 1991.

hey, what do you use for lead testing paint and stuff?

Bob Coombs

I applaud you and thank you for your perseverance and excellent videos.

Jeffrey Hampton

cylinder markings are pressure test symbols. meaning exactly? i'm curious myself.

Jeffrey Hampton

This is my second comment on the same issue: the reverse threaded sprocket. I can't make any sense of it. I watched the final clips of Part 2 where you're actually using the mower. A reverse-threaded sprocket should be unscrewing the moment you go forward in the damn thing. It seems entirely impossible. This would have driven me to alcohol every waking moment until I figured out **WHY**! You must have figured it out. If you did, please walk me through it.
