I am 70 years old,retired mechanic , welder \ fabricator have my shop at home My wife and best friend of 23 years next to Jesus bought me a tablet.After working in my shop 2-6 hours I come in tell my honey I'm home get a shower. Plug in to you tube and get lost in the world outside full of of videos such as this one. I never fail to learn something different exciting and rewarding such as this gentleman here. You are a great example to a lost and dying art. Last but not least you are a credit to your profession and fellow you tubers God bless you and all of the tubers out there

[@bobf12]

you sound a lot like me.

[@josephmccarthy2947]

Yep, so true. Internet is much more than this . It’s the tool that can connect you and your history with someone random like Me. I’m from Spain , professional firefighter and amateur mechanic. I started to use computers in 80’s but still today I’m amazed how this shit works connecting people , wether watching how plays on líne my son with people or talking with someone with similar hobbies. Yep. Have a nice day.

Thanks for another great video . I would like to see a video of the field where you planted the saplings

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day and fantastic new life that made of this tiller, really good job, regards John

[@markharris5771]

I often say my favourite restorations are either things I have never seen before, or they take me back to my childhood. This restoration falls into the latter, I have wonderful memories of being about six 'helping' my grandfather use his tiller like this in the 60s. The birdsong throughout parts of the video strengthened those memories. In all probability you are much young than my 59 years, and to you this is just a machine you’ve done a brilliant restoration on. However, I don’t think I'm alone in recalling machines like this being used in happy times of our lives. Those memories can be wonderful and precious. Thank you for such an amazing video and a fantastic restoration.

[@robertdavis6708]

Beautiful video. One fine Craftsman here ladies and gentleman.

[@johnfogarty1182]

Who else after watching this thinks n feels like going out n getting a project to restore

[@hungryhunter7158]

I do

[@isaacniswander2070]

Same here

[@Endfloat]

Yeah I'm now looking for a Briggs and Stratton model H!

[@simonk9700]

I actualy found a car while raking.

[@ZeldaNumber17]

Another day another project, and you can finally finish that “one” that the parts have been on order for over a month that you’ve forgotten about by now.

[@mpchmr1317]

This is one of the most reliable ways to relax

[@TinkerPrepper]

The best thing I love about restoration videos is to see these tools in brand new condition as it would be if my dad or granddad would have seen it displayed in a store

[@Gear1993Head]

27 year old here who has been binge watching these videos. I started my own small engine repair business 2 years ago after growing up hotrodding my whole life. Something about small engines they're so simple and fun to work on I love what I do day in and out.

[@mickboakes7023]

I wouldn’t be able to use it after that beautiful restoration. Be afraid of scratching it. . All the best Mick.

[@mitchellray3967]

please make some more like this Ive watched them all and now watching reruns Thanks for all you do

[@scottfirman]

I used to restore vintage Snowmobiles. It was a great hobby but time consuming and parts were hard to come by. Now I just repair small engine equipment much like that Tiller. I always enjoy watching an old, rusty hulk come back to life. I do wish I had a powder coating setup. I usually do primer, paint and a clear coat sealer. I think it holds up better than powder coating in the long run.

[@lindysmith13]

Watching this makes me so nostalgic. My gramps started a garage in the 30s and my dad and his brothers kept it going until the 90s. I didn't realize how talented mechanics are. Back when parts were parts. Great job.

[@IRTGaming.]

Awesome restoration Daggerwin / Machinery restorer!!! You've got two well restored tillers now!! 👍👏 Keep up the good work! 😃

[@user-nd3lx1zg9t]

One of the finest restorations I've seen yet. Kudos to you and yours!

[@joesaiditstrue]

am I the only one who loves the matte look of powder coat paint before baking?

[@fynbo1007]

Very beautiful result, love it. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family

[@rob5792]

Back to back random videos to watch while in quarantine

[@davidc7286]

Absolutely beautifully restored. Had to subscribe after seeing such nice work...Thanks!

[@milanradak269]

So satisfying seeing the results. Lots of work and love went into this. Thanks for the video

[@gregj3515]

lots & lots of birdsong in the background, very relaxing

[@MarkMeadows90]

I would love to see an older Sears/Craftsman Roto-Spader restored. My grandfather had one from the mid 70s and my parents used it until it gave its last leg back in 2013. Wish my dad still had it so we can have a fun restoration experiment to work on. Small machinery. Shouldn’t have been too difficult to work on.

[@muddydave01]

I love powder coat. It's just so magical. Also, loving the new tools. Very nice job.

[@noe29933]

Brillant work no annoying loud music no bull talk just work on your machine a job so well done👍

[@leonpetit8798]

Thank you for all the knowledge you bring, you are such a keeper of old knowledge, be proud of yourself

[@lloydlynn8084]

You are so correct in the satisfying statements. Almost as good as jumping into the shed and having a go myself. You just cant pass on these old beaters as they are twice as good as the cheap plastic crap of today and have stood the test of time, you have now sent them on a journey of at least another 25-30 yrs. Thankyou so much for these vids as they give me a huge amount of enjoyment. Cheers.

[@caseyjones166]

I remember my dad getting one of these when I was very small, and the biggest problem being holding it back and stopping it running away. We never thought of removing the wheels!

[@killtony11]

Nice Video good to see someone saving old machinery and bringing it back to life for future generations to see and enjoy.

[@skeleten5439]

Quarantine Day#38 : I've started to watch people restore old machines. I think I'm going insane

[@grahamfurley2144]

What skill and patience to do this. I take my hat off to you, a first class restoration. With the knowledge, equipment, time plus the money to do a great job. From an old engineer in the UK. Just read the previous comment and I too am 70, retired service engineer/welder/fabricator, and have been glued to James Condon's videos for many days. Well done James.

[@retrorestore]

Glad you got the powder coating kit. Great job bud.

[@MachineryRestorer]

Thanks! You're videos put me in the mood for a bit of powder coating :)

[@retrorestore]

@@MachineryRestorer Nice one, Send me some info on reproducing the decals as I'm looking for a system.

[@MachineryRestorer]

I create them using "Affinity Designer" and then I get them printed at www.stickersinternational.co.uk (I would love to be able to print my own though)

[@retrorestore]

@@MachineryRestorer Nice one, i'll check them out.

[@brettonmcinerney6954]

Wow, what's not to like in this video. When you tackle a refurbishing project like this, you have to have many different skill sets. You seems to have them all covered. Thumbs Up!

Amazing attention to detail

Well done lad....you should be proud.I am sure that unit would work wonders in small areas.

I can see you are restoring this machine more for the satisfaction then for the money you can safe. I hope some day I'll be able to do something like this!! thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge!! great video 👍!!

[@nicholaskemp2246]

Really enjoyed that. Nicely done. First time I've seen your vids. I remember when my ol' man came home with the exact same machine. Brought back a lot of happy childhood memories of the ol' fella out on the veg plot! Thank you 😊

[@MrLeigh221]

i really love watching you take something like this and making look new again

[@bobeden5027]

I just get so much satisfaction bringing an old engine back to life.

[@nickturner2606]

Lovely work mate, just found your channel, I watch a handful of great restorers on here and it’s immensely gratifying to see another English proponent of this most satisfying genre doing the job well and delivering a fine product and rejuvenating some deserving equipment. Keep up the fine work. 👍🏻

[@petermurphy1696]

Now that is what I call a full restoration,well done my friend you are an inspiration to us all.

[@-Deena.]

Fantastic, wonderful, superb. Yep....that was THE best ❤

[@thorrite9734]

Loved what you did. All things are not wasted it can be reclaimed. Nice video.

Please, please, please keep these videos coming. Loving them

[@rabooey]

Simply amazing. Great job!

[@billymathews6035]

Again AWESOME job bro. True craftsman , love the tools . My dad used little sticks to see how much oil was in the lawnmower , must be a old school thing. 😎👍

I've been doing the same thing in my shop classes! Got an old one from my grandmas house

My word! I believe this is the best and most thorough restoration I've seen yet. I cringed to watch you run it in the dirt. LOL

[@fabtwister]

I advise you "my mechanics" channel ;)

[@johnday7362]

Very good restoration! You went far beyond what the machine is worth. Suggestion: sharpen the tiller tines. Thanks for sharing!

[@lenjames]

This how a KZbin video should be made. The only noise should be tools clanking. No loud rock music or that horrible urban music. Great vid!

[@bobf12]

Beautiful job. I loved every minute.

[@JDLarge]

Forget all of these restorations, I want the bush you keep finding all of this stuff growing in!!! 🤪

[@MrNatebain]

It does my head in when they set up "finds" like that. Disgraceful

[@Legord2]

Hi, I enjoy minute by minute your restorations, how nice it is to have all kinds of machines in the workshop, I admire your cleanness, next to the show you give us we can enjoy the birds of your garden, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and time with us. Rico's greetings.

[@jacobpgood724]

Someone already said it but this is incredibly relaxing to watch. Great job Daggerwin, most everyone else would have considered the tiller scrap and not worth the time it took to get it running, let alone restoring it to showroom condition. Very well done.

[@DavidGillilandACA]

Incredibly therapeutic! Really lovely to think that your passion for farming simulator has maybe helped pay for the all your new workshop toys in this video, so that you can better pursue this passion too! Fantastic, you're an inspiration; living the dream. 😀 Keep it up. #lettonfarm4ever

Once again......you do an excellent job restoring. Like another commentor, I too, want to know what else there is hiding in all that over growth. Any CATS, AEROCAR, REO, MACK. I want to go on a scavenger hunt on your acreage. Love your work. Please keep it up. I'm one of many fans.

You sir, are an artist!! Great video!

[@anthonywilson4873]

Nice video enjoyed watching whole process, ultrasonic cleaner and powder coating booth, I am quite envious.

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

I think this is the second or third video I watched of your channel and I am definitely impressed you do really nice work and you should be proud of yourself for doing such what an inspiration I tinker a little bit when I find stuff and get them running again like a 1970 John Deere riding lawn mower the very first one they ever made and I had it running in about 10 hours after being down for 15 years so I know I know how you feel when you get things going only you go the extra step and really make them nice congratulations I'll keep watching stay safe StayWell and as always God bless

Boy does this bring back memories: I don't know how many of these I tore down and rebuilt when my dad ran a small engine repair shop;

[@bradfader691]

My childhood was spent in the garage tearing down small engines and rebuilding them. It helped teach me alot of the skills i have today

You are the best Daggerwin!..I hate waiting for the next project but it's always worth the wait!

First class restoration. Nice to see you are adding to your tool collection.

[@stefandr5252]

Such a good video again... Nice to see that you know what you're dealing with.

[@WildmanFrance]

Always good restoration from your hands 👍 / But for soil, don't scrap it too deep, soil have its own structure. Look for permacutlure, thanks.

[@MikeyMack303]

Very good attention to details! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@jebsails2837]

I liked the access through the flywheel to change /set the points. The background music of real life tools being used is wonderful (no screeching techno girl bands). Rust removal, my friend put his stuff in the vinegar soak set it on top of the wife's heating / massage pad overnight. Worked great. Try using a hair dryer on heat gun to remove transfers. Great job.

[@jackblacker6099]

That was awesome, super satisfying, I’d love to know how much you spent on parts and what the estimated value on these things are. I know you don’t do it just to sell them on again but I think it would be interesting

[@wokohedgehogs]

Fantastic restoration, I had one of these that I bought from a lawnmower repair shops junk pile. Did some work on it to get it running and it worked really well. Impressed that you managed to get a new belt, mine was knackered and I couldn’t find a replacement anywhere, I eventually took the old one into Halfords and found a fan belt that was the closest size, wasn’t perfect but it worked reasonably well. Thank you though, really enjoyed you doing the restoration.

[@johndutton9739]

Great vid - I love tinkering with old stuff like this - not to your level thou - just a bit of paint and getting things running. I have an identical Westwood tiller like this - never seen another until now! Mine has a bucket and drive wheels to make it into a powered barrow.

[@jwaterous224]

A brilliant restoration with massive skills, patience and desirable results.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

That was a great restoration and the final result was awesome. Printing the decals finished it off perfectly. I think you used just about every preparation and coating method available: paint stripper, wire brush, vinegar, sandblasting and sandpaper. Powder coating, spray can and brush but a great job. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@catalaorlando]

A piece of art, i would put one of his engines in my living room

[@drakesullivan2962]

It’s nice to see old machines that have been sitting in some brush to come back to life. Nice job.

[@kcraig51]

Another way to clean that aluminum off that journal is to mix up a strong mixture of lye and water. You can just dunk the whole crank in. Lye will dissolve the aluminum, but won't hurt the cast crank.

[@bentertainmentstudios7142]

Hey Machinery Restorer, I discovered your channel about two months ago and i have seen a lot of your videos. I love them all, I really look forward to all your future uploads and lawn tractor work!

[@jimmycav369]

Wonderful restoration. I like that you leave the parts with some of their patina instead of putting in filler. Really lovely machines. I have never worked on lawnmower or garden power engines but from watching your videos it seems there all saveble if they don't throw a rod! I might pick up a project over winter if I see something at the right money as they look pleasurable to work on.

[@andrewmantle7627]

Beautiful work my good man. I have a period correct American version of this tiller called a "Merry tiller" with a Briggs and Stratton 5HP. A little bigger, but I love it.

[@Steve25g]

nice work, looks like new. Good engines, used to have the same one

[@waltercooling8907]
