I'll take quality over quantity any day, and your videos, sir, are top quality indeed. Well worth the wait.

[@mykeg2401]

He certainly puts out gems. His content is really interesting and entertaining. Iv also got a few of my own small gas engines up and running thanks to his videos.

[@cposwn]

This channel is one of the best repair and/or restore sites on KZbin! I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing the video. Well done again.

[@haichyou2930]

Your videos are always worth the wait, so don’t worry about that 👍🏻

[@jamesbromley5820]

Thank you for talking about the upcoming projects. Lovely to know there’s more to come.

[@SIR_MNBEN]

New mic system sounds good, always nice to relax to a nice restoration vid on a Friday! Looking forward to your big restoration reveal

[@philipgunderman7292]

Thank you for the neet shot of the sun. It's fun to see you breath new life into an old engine. 😀

[@j308s7]

Audio quality is superb-as is the video content! Brilliant.

[@craigpeter4794]

Love a bit of machinery restorer. Not only entertaining but has helped me out with some fixes here & there.

[@iansvecs]

The mic is perfect, video quality is perfect too. Love these quick will it run videos!

[@johnbradford9235]

New mic feedback - you sound just as good as you always do man 😉 👉👉👉. I love it when there's a new upload from you. Thorough enjoy it every time. I could watch and listen to one every single day if possible. Your ability and knowledge levels are super impressive, and as for a KZbinr who talks, for me, your voice is right up there with This Old Tony, RRC, Ca Lem, and Diecast Resurrection (RIP, gone but not forgotten 😢). Thanks for sharing dude 🙏🙏🙏. 😎

[@davidfist7801]

That shot of the sun was awesome!

[@andywindy]

A nice, informative, 'will it run', and your audio sounds excellent too. Thank you.

[@jamesfield5346]

The microphone sounds crystal clear and steady volumn.

[@larrykelly2838]

Nice job checking areas out.

[@aserta]

23:37 you can also use a little bit of naphtha. Tho i wouldn't do this inside an enclosed space as that stuff is naaasty. The risk is well worth it, it dissolves any grime very fast and very well. Whenever i do maintenance on my bike, i take out the engine, and chuck basically everything else that's not rubber or fuel weak plastic in there and they come out clean as new. It does leave a white residue, but some water and a little bit of dish soap cleans it fast.

[@redneckbryon]

Love the UK Tractors and some of the features they have. I wish we had the same here in North America, when it comes to the consumer variety machines, like rear PTO.

[@guswhite220]

You should make a race lawn mower with that

[@robertmailhos8159]

Even before I see the ending of this video I say you are going to have it in running condition 👍

[@Shadow-eo2pf]

Crazy to think that the UK has so many Briggs engines, but I also never seen a lawnmower with a stock exhaust going out the back

[@daleyurk4369]

It's always a good day to see you've posted. Thanks!

[@BungSmuggler]

I always love the commentary videos! They are my faves.

[@jefflary5457]

I really enjoy all your videos great mike too by the way round very clean and clear JeffinMaine

[@aserta]

I'm the same. If i get something, if it can't be used as is, it ends up parts. Parts extreme, i break apart stuff down to sheet metal.

[@danhei]

I always enjoy your videos, even if they take a long time to come out. Cheers from🇨🇦

[@2ToneWalt]

When you look at the Sun like that it makes you realise just how tiny our little planet is. 👍

[@andrewjohn7952]

Love these videos…. Could you do a workshop tour

[@ksaab3946]

It’s so intriguing how such an old mower with that engine can be robust even to this day, certainly enjoyed the content and cannot wait for the next video, keep up the great work 😃

[@jasonstarnes3838]

Great work as always from the USA!!! Love the exhaust. Looks like you have hillbillies to.

[@j.j.richardsfanjakeYT]

love it mate keep up the good work

[@selfreliance1017]

Funny I enjoy these as I'm not that keen on mechanics or engines. Great job mate

[@oppdalskjifer5955]

What do you do with the restored mowers after you are done? Love your content!!

[@Ridgeroader]

Mic sounds great. Be careful of placement. A few times we hear "heavy breathing."

[@jimboy7102]

Great video, You are doing a very good job. I like your videos!

[@bobjoncas2814]

lookin' good, keep well...

[@abesmith8642]

Another Westwood video can’t believe it so happy would like to see a restoration of a t1200

[@MachineryRestorer]

Thanks. I have two T1200's that need restoring so there will be a restoration of one at some point

[@abesmith8642]

@@MachineryRestorer thats great would you do the grass collector as well?

[@MachineryRestorer]

@@abesmith8642 yes

[@mikestewart2409]

Great content and the mic sounds great 👍

[@MachineryRestorer]

Thanks 👍

[@duncanrathbone2658]

Bye the way sound was lovely and clear

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Any reason you didn't spray brake cleaner on the points? There is still some oil residue on the condenser wire that easily migrates to the points again.

[@timhvac6869]

I agree quality over quantity. Love your videos 🤩.

[@ACYT298]

What brand and type of black paint do you use to paint all the metal parts in your videos?

[@huntergreen8212]

works great.

[@gr7637]

Merci ! 👍👍👍👍

[@jasperedwards2713]

ohh not another westwood

[@briank4753]

Would there be any benefit to putting powdered graphite on the starter gear?

[@Bulrien]

I have always wondered what you do with the projects you fully restore. Do you sell them or keep them? Maybe show them?

[@MachineryRestorer]

I keep them 😀

[@adrianeskeland8087]

1

[@elichappell2276]

First one

[@Highlordratick]

I would rather wait awhile for a good video than sit through some poorly done video every other day. If you are going to do it right and you do.

[@mohmedhosny6094]

Very good done We wait second video to fully Restoration and new machine as usually Thanks 👍 for you I need your email address

[@RichsRidesandRestorations]

I like your “will it run” videos, as I enjoy the problem solving process you go through.

[@toddburton5548]

Got a motor like that on a old wheel horse

[@Shagnasty]

I always find your videos interesting. You really show from start to finish. I can't wait until your next video. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@Joserocha-wm9de]

This Men is talent in person 👌 No matter how long it takes you to upload a video , I'll patiently wait and watch it 🔧🔧🔧

[@afarmingtrucker]

I really enjoy the videos you produce. The time taken to look at each part and explain the thought process before progressing is excellent. The new mic is working perfectly. Initially, I thought you were narrating the video during editing. It took a few minutes to realise that you were narrating whilst working. Look forward to the next one, keep up the good work 👍

[@mikesbarn1858]

Always love the detail in your work. Thanks for the sun spot bonus. Not something seen everyday.

[@tamedog3687]

Honestly any content is good content we all appreciate the will it run videos so we have stuff to watch

[@E_Mrgan]

Just some advice from a mechanic You really shouldn’t be using a wobble extension on the ratchet unless you absolutely have to as it can put the bolts in at an angle damaging the thread

[@raccoonpeddler6730]

very good as usual its satifying to see something that seems dead at first just come back to life like it wasn't abandoned for the last 20+ years

[@American_Jeeper]

There are no stupid questions, but I am an inquisitive idiot...why does the decal on one side say "6 Horsepower" and "8 Horsepower" on the other?

[@MachineryRestorer]

lol Westwood must have run out of ‘8’ decals so they used the W6’s decal and then they stuck an 8 over it. On one side the 8 has peeled off

[@thebestfornow7735]

Dagwin ❤

[@MaximusGaming]

Definitely looking forward to your next big restoration video 👍

[@jameshedrick605]

I like all your will it run or restoration videos. I've re watched one of your older videos when you rebuilt the Briggs and Stratton opposed twin engine. It really helped me rebuild mine the right way

[@BritishBeachcomber]

Never worked in a Briggs opposed twin. But their V2 engines are a nightmare.

[@larannar123]

I love your restoration videos,so really excited to hear you have three projects coming!!💯👍 The new microphone sounds great!!!😁

[@AZVIDS]

Once again an excellent video👍. Great quality in your editing and audio was spot on.

[@Marcelo-56]

No se porqué, pero veo que empezó por lo menos importante. Lo primero que se revisa es el estado mecánico del motor, el carburador, el encendido, motor de arranque, tanque de combustible y después los accesorios menos importantes. (Si es que realmente lo va a "restaurar")

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Excellent video, great video footage, and well-explained thank you 👍

[@scottsteinburg3284]

I can imagine those large parts take a long time to come back from powder coating. No wonder why you have multiple projects going at once.

[@daneabdalla1954]

I love these videos 😊 you have inspired me to work on things like this in currently working on a husquavana weed wacker and i now have 7 lawnmowers thank you

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I really like the way the British say, "the belt is perished". An American like James Condon says, "the gas line has become petrified". Both adequate descriptions that the gas line needs changed. James also checks the air filter, and changes it immediately if as he rubs it with his finger & little balls roll off.

[@geraldharkness8830]

your new mic is superb..your voice is excellent..i have always loved your voice..a perfect tone!

[@jonathanspearman9274]

Hi another great video! ,..can you tell me if you would be interested in a very rough John deere x120 I have come across to work on ?

[@bobuncle6962]

Have you considered doing series videos? Some of the construction channels that I follow will does at least four videos for one project. The video would not have to be the length of your current videos. just a thought

[@picklesgherkin]

I could literally build a whole vehicle in 3 months...used to build dune buggies out of old vw's during the winter and then sell them in the summer

[@Bunkers101]

the quality of your videos is outstanding, so the time it takes to make them is understandable. thanks for sharing.

[@Dodger2204]

I'll watch your videos whenever you post them. I don't mind waiting!

[@taficegaming]

If your not doing it already you should do a car video like a flip or a full restore

[@eddiepatterson5025]

On the starter gear ⚙️ if I remember correctly you can flip the gear on the other side and reinstall it and use the good side of teeth.

[@muddydave01]

New 🎤 is brilliant sir. Very clear voice, far less background noise.

[@dietznutz1]

Why would you restore it though? It's not exactly a nice bit of machinery no matter the condition

[@BritishBeachcomber]

I've owned six (pre-used) garden tractors in 25 years. Never even seen one as bad as that.

[@Cyberdeamon]

You and Mustie1 are my fav channels for this stuff.

[@RazsterTW]

Mic sounds good. Thanks for the video btw.

[@DrBenIngle]

Audio sounds clear and I can easily hear you working on the engine.

[@andrewheinen9185]

Where do you get those foam gaskets for the top of the air cleaner?

[@ronniebgpoulsen9155]

You sound great with the new mic 😁💯👍👍

[@andrewcooke3523]

so what happens with all the finished and fixed mowers?

[@robertbiggs4934]

Nice job, as always! Your mic sounds great. Thanks for the "teaser" for the upcoming restorations...looking forward to them. Thanks for sharing!

[@leosweeney7955]

Debris screen, fyi. Enjoy the vids.

[@simonbagley3571]

What do you do with the restored machinery?

[@billbeyer657]

Seems to be a lot of oil where it shouldn't be on this motor

[@ShogunMura]

Yes man, I really enjoyed this video and commentary. Well done as always. Mic sounds really good. Look forward to the next project! Cheers

[@RDJim]

Audio sounds clean.

[@nixielee]

Great audio, great video, as always.

[@Melicoy]

you need power tools to speed it up. time adds up

[@bryanchinander46]

I like when you talk on your videos.

[@jakapoljanec0834]

You have beatiful voice in this video

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Great job brother 👏
