Gday Mate. Yeah mate if there was an oil screen I would have refitted it.

Gday Mate. Im almost certain these are sealed at the factory. Thanks.

Gday Nathan. Yeah tough question. Does the mower have a sentimental connection? if so go for it. I got this engine for next to nothing and really only spent time on it, not money. if your engine needs big bucks to get it going forget it they aren't worth it. Most of the motors I get are salvageable and will go without a lot spent. It really depends on what you want. Hope this helps.

@@thebigfella8986 Thanks for reply Not sentimental will possibly get it all up and running and sell on. The mower needs quite a bit of work also. Where are you located out of interest I'm central Vic

Gday Nathan. It can be rewarding bringing these back from the dead, have fun. Im between Bairnsdale and Orbost in east Gippsland.

Gday Shane. Yeah its a fiddly thing. Fortunately, it's only a working display. Thanks for the comment and take care.

gday mate. I just used the wire wheel on the bench grinder and then buffed them a bit.

Gday Mario. Thanks for the comment. Mate with these motors I only rebuild what's there. In other words if the motor needs a new piston the engine will be used for parts. If the parts are serviceable then I will try to get it going. These are not worth spending the money on unless it is for a specific project. You could try looking up parts from the USA. Regards from OZ.

Gday Sam. The CZ sounds like a hot one. Reed valves! I heard a lot about these but never really understood them. If I may ask what was the gain over standard induction. Thanks Sam.

Gday Sam. WOW a CZ, it must be about the last one in OZ. I remember there was a few around back min the 70's. Parts must be getting hard to find for these old mowers and I was lucky that what was there was still serviceable. The guy who owns it was happy with the result. Thanks for the comment Sam and good luck with the projects.

And that one will be a big help From shayne please thx

Gday Shayne. Firstly can I say well done for showing an interest in these old mowers. They are part of history and Australian culture and its great that a guy your age is doing restorations on these or any old machine for that matter. Don't let anyone discourage you! Mate I can't do another video as this mower was never mine to begin with, I was merely doing it up for a friend. If I understaned you correctly are you referring to the central nut on the blade holding disc, if so these are held on by a Nylock nut and they will be tight nearly all the way when you undo them. An impact gun helps to make this easy but be sure to disconnect the spark plug as it may start if its rotated. The nuts that hold the blades are similar so its easier just to cut them as you get new ones with the blades. I hope this helps if not let me know. Keep up the good work.

Gday Mate. Thanks for the comments, Yeah this one ran well after I fixed it. Trouble is I cant remember what ended up being the problem. Yes If I come across another of these I'll highlight the cam process. Thanks Mate.

@@thebigfella8986 Thank you , I'm glad you showed what you did . Very helpful to me as i am learning as I tear it apart .

Gday Mitch. Thanks for the comment. Yes mate I have another carby for these. If you like you can have the motor and carby for $50.00. The motor is low on compression but there is many good spare parts on it that you may need. you can contact me via email [email protected]

Gday Mike. Thanks for the feedback. Yep you're right on the money. Apparently Kero was cheaper than petrol at the time. Times have changed. Thanks.

Gday Midge. Thanks for the feedback. Mate it doesn't matter if your rebuild is better or worse than anyone else's project, the main thing is that you have fun doing it. If someone criticizes your work its only because they are jealous or too scared to have a go themselves. Enjoy the rebuild and I'm sure you'll get a great result.

Gday Michael. Thanks for the comment.

Gday Mate. Im sorry but I can only read English.

Gday Mate. email would be best as I don't really use social media. Thanks and hope the restoration goes well.

Where do i find your Email?@@thebigfella8986

Gday Neil how are ya man? Happy new year and I hope all is cool. Hate to shoot you down old mate but this one is a UK build. There are some differences to the Aussie ones. I got it of a local farmer who said it powered some sort of machine for hay. She went first shot after a fix up and then I stopped it to fix a fuel leak and now it won't go. I've ordered a new coil from the UK. Take care mate.

Gday Geoff. yeah they made things right back then.

Thanks tomsear1

Well done that’s a sweet running Tea20 .

Gday Aiden. Yeah that could be fun.

definitely do it @@thebigfella8986

Gday Shane. its a bit that way. Start up is getting very close.

Gday Shane. Yeah its getting there. AS for the engine I'll be happy if it runs. Take care mate.

Gday Pete. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah those Villiers engines seem to show up everywhere. The bitumous paint you refer too actually came from Supercheap. It's just an underbody paint in a can that is located in the spray can section and I think you can buy the applicator gun from them as well or it can be painted on. Hope this helps Pete. Take care.

Yes you re right, safety is important, I traded the Tea and a Super Major with 6 m construction lift for a MF 35 X, so no money between him and me, the tires came with the newpainted tractor, actually don t think there would be space enough if the tires were new, not space enough now for fingers to have a grip on the edge of the mudguards when driving, so guess old habit stopped, must be spring there as it is autumn here, the usual habit of the earth tilting away from sun after 20. of june these parts, take care, enjoy.

Gday Mate. Thanks for the comment. Yeah its getting there slowly.

Gday Aiden . Heads Tractor services supplied the engine kit.

Gday Mate. Thanks for the comment. Yeah I'm a bugger for the radio being loud. I'll try to remember to turn it down.

Gday Shane. Thanks for the comments. Yeah its getting there but I dont know if the Harry Ferguson purists would like it.

Gday Pete. Thanks for the heads up on these Wico mags and i will take this on board for the next one I get. Very interesting about the coil and bar. Thanks for the tips. Mick.

@@thebigfella8986 Just starting a restoration of a BSA 320cc myself so your videos are a valuable guide for me. Cheers.

Gday David, thanks for the comment.

Gday David. Thanks for the feedback. Apologies if its a bit short in places. I dont have a tripod so I tend to shortcut a bit due to lack of free hands.
