CHEAP RUSTY GENERATOR RESTORATION (Are They Worth It)

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Beautiful work my friend. I have one of these generators that I fixed. I got it for £40 and all it needed was a new spark plug and cylinder head gasket. Keep up the good work.

[@bobeden5027]

I've brought dozens of these back to life. When they stop working folks just throw them away, but they are so simple to fix and can be very reliable. My back up generator for my boat for 8 years.

[@scotstubbie]

Love the restoration vids good job maybe do one on sharpening drill bits lol

[@LeglessWonder]

@Skodaman2 she must be really hot. *ba dum tss*

[@drider43]

Just a little bit duller and you'll be able to start a campfire with that thing.

[@straight-up-shots]

It actually shows that the generator can handle a bit of load - better than before.

[@JamesTKruk]

Or having the drill spinning the rite way

[@dannyj5688]

LOL Burned a hole in that wood!!!

[@BakedPrawns]

Those labels are absolutely fantastic. Great work at giving this little genny a new lease of life!

[@keremardicli4013]

Finally, someone sand blasting before removing rust and paint...

[@timothynorris1464]

No it is better t temove paint better

[@joshuamorin2762]

It always bothers me when people use a paint stripper then media blast it anyway. Wasted time and materials lol. Just media blast it and be done

[@darkworlddenizen]

@@joshuamorin2762 they do that if its lead paint. They remove it chemically first so there wont be lead particles created when they sandblast.

[@freefall0483]

Dagger, I'm genuinely impressed. Awesome video. Damn professional work. PS, sharpen your spade bit... 🤣🤣🤣

[@belsayshootingground]

i must admit I was hoping to see some work on the alternator etc :( But great work on the finished product 👍

[@baksteenhamsterdez67]

First

[@Ebikelover]

Agreed

[@twistedyogert]

I actually wanted to see what condition the field coils were in.

[@ipad1729]

Very helpful having a little generator like that that you can carry easy that can run your drills and grinders

[@c0c0asauce]

The powder coating is a very cool process. I definitely want to get into that.

[@ShofarGuy]

He got himself one of those new more efficient, wood burning drill bits. Nice 👍

[@AJRestoration]

What is the white sandblasting media you use? It looks like play sand? Great video, I watched every minute!

[@RJ-nh9hw]

Your grass looks great! The drill bit seems dull. The decal work excellent. The oven is nice. Good you could get replacement parts. I like the finished effort, well done!

[@sniffer5098]

Why do people dislike Daggerwis vids. I mean if u didn't like it then move along. Am I right?

[@imnotimportant]

I think people may dislike because if no talking. Thats the only thing I can think of

[@alanrobison3298]

Great restoration my friend! Your skills are off the hook!

[@owenwilliams5388]

You are very thorough! Fantastic job, sir!

[@Mercury1600]

wow the powder coating turned out really well!

[@DUKEOHAZZARDs]

How do do you get correct dimensions of the decals for photoshop and where do you get them printed

[@MachineryRestorer]

I measure the decals and then submit the dimentions into my software. I use Affinity Designer. Some are printed by myself and others I get another company to make.

[@Robb403]

After watching some of your videos, I think you are doing a good job , especially with your editing. Might I suggest adding a materials list either in the description or at the end of the video. It would be especially useful to know where you find some of your parts. Those cheap Chinese made generators were sold by the millions under all sorts of brand names.

[@jackgreenhill3193]

Loving the vids keep it up

[@Coolsweat67]

Perfect powder coating, Australia is watching

[@sappernz]

Love the labels very professional

Wow it looks like spring is coming in your garden Daggerwin, i hear a lot of birds singing!

[@nicolabooth6075]

Absolutely brilliant work on that generator

[@American_Jeeper]

You took something that was neglected, looked and ran like shyte, and turned it into a beautiful, serviceable generator again. Bravo!

[@Vloxey]

You are good at restoring and you should do more bigger projects I only found this channel from your daggerwin channel I enjoy all your content from both channels keep it up

[@rynwolfeh1904]

3:50 why does it look like someone has literally drilled a hole through the carburetor? Top left quarter

[@mjyanimations1062]

Ryn Wolfeh same I thought so too

[@Rock722]

It may be the carburetor overflow, they might have done a really rubbish job at the factory. Just a guess, I could very well be wrong.

[@TheeWanderingAlaskan]

He did say it was a cheap generator lol

[@SoldierFox1393]

Wait are you a furry? I am

[@daveslife921]

I prefer the videos that you are talking. keep the videos coming. thanks for sharing.

[@bluemoondiadochi]

Just found your channel! your filming style looks a LOT like Samodel's, and i must say i LOVE this style of making videos! very enjoyable, thank you!

[@muffins12313]

Nice job! That generator is small compared to what we have in the US. Smallest I could find was 1200 watts.

[@AZVIDS]

Excellent work👍

[@alterdphsycosis]

Everything looked surprisingly good from the get go. Love these vids man GG

[@maxtheinvincible1925]

Good painting job It looks brand new

[@eduardedwin]

Love the restoration. I also like the part where you fixed the grammar mistake on the decal at 16:20 mark. Lol Subscribed, with bell on.

[@willchet9241]

What have we learnt from this video? Machinery restorer has some blunt ass drill bits Also that he has a great talent at the labour of love

[@peChoOO]

Well done colleague!!!

[@ossyhoff]

That's one dull drill bit 😂 great restoration 👌👍 I'm stil tryin a get my snowblower runnin.

[@fiveminuteman]

Great vid. Can you tell me the rust removal solution you use?

[@grenzhochspannungshindernis]

such a pleasure to watch videos like this one

[@anthonysimonhough9691]

Thanks for a good movie will help me a lot with my generator. .

[@AgriculturalLife]

Did I miss a video about the powder coating machine, have you ever mention it ? Never know you could do it yourself, I know it's easy, powder, magnetic and bake it. You triggered me to find out more about it, it would be great to do it also myself. Also, nice to see subtitles, good addition!!!

[@MachineryRestorer]

I used it in my Westwood gemini rotavator restoration too. :)

[@alan6832]

@@MachineryRestorer Was it worth it? I would say no, at least not to those standards, for several reasons. Firstly, I find that about 1200 watts are needed to start many refrigerators, which is an important job for generators to preserve food during blackouts, so these little ones have reduced utility. Secondly, partial choke probably would have kept the generator usable in the short term, and constant, liberal use of fuel detergent likely would have helped in the longer term. Thirdly, you could likely prevent future rust by taking it to a self serve car wash and spraying it down with spray wax, which made all the sandblasting and powdering work unnecessary. though cleaning the cooling fins might have been necessary, i'm not sure; but generally, I think it could have been made useful and flipped with far less work and expense. How did the finances work? Did you make money on it? I never seem to see cost/benefit ratios on these vids.

[@jacobanderson1891]

Another great restoration! Okay, I liked the red gas tank, but if black grey was original, then definitely go with that.

[@LanceHanlonOutdoors]

I think that spade drill bit might need sharpening... If that was smoke coming from it. Great video. Love the powder coating.

[@fiveminuteman]

Any chance you can tell me the rust converter you used on the Kubota? Cheers

[@GuidoPerdomo]

Fantastic job

[@troyna77]

wow! that gas tank looks really good. definitely worth it.

[@dannyj5688]

Good job on the gen...Need to restore the sharpness of that spade bit...Didn't cut, but burned right through that wood!!!

[@nicog3583]

Awesome! What program did you use to create the labels? How did you determine to not break the engine down any further? Thanks!

[@robertcushney3174]

Great channel,just a quick one what size generator would i need to run a kettle drill and grinder much appreciated

[@leosedf]

That powder coating is awesome.

[@tomlewendon4563]

Nice vid really well restored as a person who restores things as well I found it deeply interesting I love your channel and I'm also 12 but I can use most the tools you use thank you 👍🏻

[@TopCat2021]

Nice work on the genset. Is your paint oven commercial or did you build it yourself? Keep up the good work.

[@freefall0483]

Definitely worth it. A good generator is damn useful.

[@MrAFJones]

What's your process for keeping all the fasteners and hardware sorted and put back in the correct place?

[@cw9666]

Next week on machinery restorer.... Daggerwin restores blunt wood bit 😂 but in fairness, top job. Labels came out great.

[@MachineryRestorer]

Thanks

[@overkillsnake]

I just fixed one of these up I found at a garage sale. Just needed a new spark plug wire and recoil cord. A little carburetor adjustment and fresh gas, it starts right up.

[@dalejones4186]

Great restoration job.

Twice to make sure I was on the right channel I kind enjoy the commentary. Also to clean small parts used a tea screen it looks like a little basket used for making tea with leaves.

[@darkphoenix3875]

When removing paint I recommend using paint stripper then use the sandblaster to remove the rust or rest of paint

[@esco9043]

Fandomtexas Gaming Sandblasting removes paint easier btw

[@iankyranakis9038]

Nice resto! Just an FYI, out of the box, there are 2 small gaskets that go between the handle and the gas tank.

[@kevinshea5819]

Great video...very well done. You are not a man of very many words, which is good. Can you say where you were able to get the parts from?

I love watching sandblasting. Is it as satisfying doing it as it is to watch it?

[@Ragnar8504]

I haven't done it for... ooops... 15 years but as far as I can remember, yes! At least with a decent blasting rig. I had access to a pro cabinet with big compressor at that time.

[@troyna77]

question ? did you clean the motor wiring coils with anything?

[@IvorTHorn]

Nice work Daggerwin. Is the sandblaster and the powder coating an upgrade for this year?

[@footloosetoucan1238]

Mr daggerwin sir, the cleansing machine you put the carburetor in does it affect rubber seals with the acidity?

[@veldmaat]

FootLoose Toucan ultrasonic cleaners usually don’t need harsh chemicals. Most things can be cleaned with water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, or special cleaning fluids.
