Nice thanks

It would have been nice if you explained the steps and why and how…

Sir, you are incredible! Outstanding craftsmanship and amazing repairs! It was amazing that you fixed the idle on one of the engines by simply adjusting the governor!

Gotta love the body on frame stlyes

Great information Thank you

How much you paid for the 3000lb of motors and where you bought them at recycling center?

.15 that is awful

I like the video

What's the liquid sprayed into the carburettor at the beginning?

Do you have any Onan 18hp engines???

What size belt goes on the 212 bc I can’t find the right size

I need the lift arm

Do you still have part for the 873 ?

Nice vid. I just got a hustler fastrack going too. 700$ into it and it runs and cuts like new.

See that Honda big block you need to ajust the gov or remove it completely and replace the valve springs and get an aluminum flywheel rhe way you ajust the gov is under the gastank you will see the arm and it has holes in it and what you need to do is put the spring from the rod in the hole that will let you give out as much rpm as possible i done it on my mini bike with a Honda 200

Weld that hole up.

What an awesome video. Who was the other man in the video at your shop? I am assuming he was your father or another family member. Please include him in your new videos. I enjoyed hearing the conversation between you two.

If you could find the welder that would be willing to patch the hole, rip it apart and ultra sonic clean the block to remove all oil residue and let the welder have at it.

What part of NC are you located I have some vic parts

I worked for a rental company that ran both these machines. The Barreto is a whole other level above the sg40. Wonderful machine that takes a beating and keeps going. The sg40, if you really want it to last BEFORE they break go thru and weld extra supports on the mounts for the pulleys where ever you can. Keep extra belts on hand. Grease the bearings A LOT. Like more than you'd think you need and more often. It looks like that one was probably rolled and robbed for parts. Which is probably why it was repoed. The sg40 rolls very easily on hills and is really jumpy at full throttle compared to the Barreto. I have a gx690 on a generator low hours I'd sell you for 2500.

LS swap😅 Always enjoy your uploads!

Weld up the hole replace the rod is my vote, guess it just depends how much damage there is

Yea always great video.. off topic, isn't the store in the beginning ABC a liquor store?

Bellzona epoxy on the hole, and a new rod. Maybe a crank if it’s fried.

I don’t know what house power it is normally there 27ho but you could put one of those 22 hp harbor fright motors on it cheap

Harbor Freight Vanguard engines are basically Honda clones and we have been running them on our pressure washer trailers. They run usually for 5 to 6 hours every shift and have been reliable for years.

God I love this channel.

Find a used non Kohler horizontal V-twin and adapt it. It seems like Kohler quality has all but disappeared in the last 20 years. Kawasaki or Briggs industrial have much better reputation these days

Weld up the hole,, 👍‍‍😎👍‍‍

Mini skids sadly are so costly because they are more useable for smaller jobs especially residential work they can get places a full size unit has no chance of. My current project is a 80s lahman little dipper mini skid as its only 46 inches wide and i can load it on the flatbed of my truck for residential work. You made me want to find a stump grinder for a future project.

Put a predator engine on it or put new engine on it it will pay its self off so fast people always want stump grinding done great buy

I agree, finding a bare block is probably the best option. Does any other cheaper equipment use that engine? Maybe you can find a scrapped riding lawnmower and strip a usable block off of it.

Even with the work and money you are going to have to put into this it still looks to be a heck of a deal. I'd probably lean towards a short block if its under $2k like you said.

If it were me I would take the engine apart first so you know the scope of the damage, I’ve fixed holes in blocks by taking fine wire mesh and epoxy and putting it over the hole, if your lucky it mite just need a new rod. If the engine is no good then search marketplace I see those engines on there a lot. My city had a local auction about a month ago and they had piles of those engines that came off city equipment and mowers and the pallets of them went for like $10 I was so tempted to buy a pallet of them and now I wish I would have I could have sent you the parts you need☹️

One of those hidden gem channels tbh

Hell yea another stump grinder vid and another video within a week😊😊

This just got interesting!

Haha, nice new gride man.

You might want to make yourself a engine start stand to mount the engines to. Lol

What I do to Honda and bs engines is pump oil in cylinders and turn it over by hand, keep rusting under control for several years

I keep all the parts and label them I’ve built many engines out of junk people throw away, tanks, carb, head ,flywheels are just as good as new 😊

Love your vids! That engine that you said was a Honda clone is actually a Subaru robin and those are really good Japanese engines 👍

Nice work. Yep great motors. Like you said that’s why every one copy’s them.

i love your videos every time they allways make me smile

Great video bub. You always find interesting stuff to do.

Miss your videos

But great video mate! Loving it.

39:00 this is what happens when people just throw a hose into a lake or ditch to suck water for pressure washing. Never, ever do that. At least build a float and attach the hose with a filter cage so that it sucks somewhat cleaner top-level water.

Great stuff as always

The sad thing I hate about these pressure washers if the pump goes bad everything goes into the trash pretty much
