SINGLE CYLINDER DIESEL RIDE ON MOWER CONVERSION - Part 1

[@wmwho]

Thank you for another year of great videos Daggerwin. Happy Holidays!

[@MachineryRestorer]

Thank you so much, that's very generous of you!!! :) Merry Christmas

[@StevenEverett7]

It's nice to see these old pieces of equipment being brought back to life. I'll be waiting for part 2. Happy Holidays!

[@ksaab3946]

I have to say, you must be the only person I watch who loves to collect, restore and bring back old ride on mowers, especially westwoods, it’s awesome to see 😃 I congratulate you for that 👏 I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a very happy new year🎉 Keep up the great work👍

[@rossdavis8130]

Hey man, always love your no nonsense videos about something that I will probably never do. Or so I thought until the 4 stroke leaf vacuum we have at work wouldn’t start and my absorbed basic knowledge of small petrol engines saved the day! Thank you so much for your content and soothing tones 😆

[@roughandrrag]

Clicked so fast on upload notification! Two things happening in one video!! When you upload it makes the day legendary!!!

[@Hazmatt4700]

I keep watching old mowers used as off road vehicles and ones about the chicom diesel replacements and wanting to combine the two. Great video

[@WendysAnime]

Man thank you for everything, I found my love of engines here and have rebuilt several pressure washers and lawnmowers on the property thanks to you.

[@jeffdowns2146]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarcoVdschyff-gs7np]

Thanks!

[@greglewis3382]

I like the metal welded onto the muffler. They poked holes afterwards in it, too. But it works.😂

[@michaelnotigan7796]

Excellent, looking forward to this engine changeout!

[@apersononyoutube-pv4py]

What a lovely Christmas present to get that going

[@haichyou2930]

I appreciate that fly wheel is cast, but in future you could try putting a squeeze on the puller and shocking the flywheel with either a mallet or a piece of wood. As long as you don’t belt it with a metal hammer, it should be fine. It’s something I often have to do in work if something cast is seized solid.

[@blarneystone1965]

Awesome project really enjoy your content,looking forward to the next one. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Massachusetts.

[@Alex74.]

Lombardini is an Italian engine. Thank you very much for your work.

Merry /Christmas Daggerwin, Dennis, Peter, Fletch, Virtual Daggerwin, Wynn and Machinery Restorer.

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Brilliant conversion project. I have that same boost pack, they're really good.

[@johnwaite8826]

Merry Christmas

[@larrykelly2838]

Looking forward to part 2

[@t.w.3]

These Lombardini (and clones) are notorious for sticking fuel rod causing no fuel. Check the movement of the fuel rod and lubricate and ensure it moves smootly when you manipulate the throttle lever. Looking forward to part 2.

[@mikesbarn1858]

Thank you for the Christmas present.

[@redneckbryon]

Now I wish we got a Diesel mower like this in North America.

[@AndrewBrooks-r2b]

When is the part 2 going to be coming cant wait to see the diesel on it

[@jamesdavis4124]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours 🎄

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Love your videos, looking forward to part 2 on this, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁👍

[@sommerjared]

Always love your videos mate, they're so inspiring and help me to get motivation to get out to the shed and tinker with my mowers. I'm pretty surprised that the diesel motor sounds pretty similar to a petrol one! I'm also curious as to why you never show your face? Anyway keep up the great work, you're bloody good at what you do!

[@samuelthorogood3878]

Always enjoy the work you put into these videos. Have a good Christmas! Just an FYI - Those Lombardini engines are tricky to get parts for now. I've been looking for ages for parts, and ended up going with a new engine. The other thing to consider is a hand primer. A lot of these small diesels (Hatz in particular) don't have any way of priming the fuel system apart from a hand pump fitted in the fuel line. The one I had on my Hatz powered Stiga perished and i never replaced it. It's been a pain ever since to bleed when changing filters.

[@rl3898]

12v primer pumps solve all those problems.

[@ralgith]

Anyone else here 9 months later and wondering what happened to part 2?

[@Mr49Studebaker]

I've found the best way to get the old needle seal out is to blow the air nozzle into the inlet. Shoots right out. Helps to hold a hand over it so it doesn't fly out too far.

[@TimTurner115]

Merry Christmas and happy New Year

[@nitt3rz]

The good thing about using a small diesel engine; you can use old oil & brake fluid.

[@jdman1930]

NOT BRAKE FLUID, but yes filtered old motor oil is fine.

[@nitt3rz]

@@jdman1930 I thought that old oil was a bit too thick, & needed to be thinned down

[@jdman1930]

@@nitt3rz it's a good idea to thin it with some gasoline but brake fluid is alcohol based and bad for the fuel system.

[@nitt3rz]

@@jdman1930 I learn something new everyday

[@jimclements3190]

😅😅

[@mastertech7104]

Happy Christmas, cheers.

[@Somebody3120]

With the diesel pump issue, if you take the pump out, what there should be is a two pronged fork that meshes into a small shaft on the side of the pump. That’s the throttle. If you don’t see that fork then wriggle the throttle shaft on the side of the engine a bit and you should see it. At least that’s the case in the two single cylinder vertical shaft diesels that I have. Yours could be different.

[@charlescarriere76]

Happy New Year

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Great video! Awesome project! Merry and Blessed Christmas to you!! :)

[@harrisoncook530]

Yes i love ur westwood videos ive got 8 my self

[@MarkusAlx]

Excellent work !

[@jameshowson5897]

Dude make sure you have put power to the engine cut off, if it's like a normal Diesel engine it will need power to open the engine kill, have a good Christmas and happy new year fella

[@ruben_balea]

The seal is Lombardini 1210.092 / Kohler ED0012100920-S It's 38x52x8 mm CLOCKWISE rotation and made of ACM It seems only Glaser (Dana) makes that size 8 mm thick and for clockwise rotation: P76126-01 The cheapest alternative seems to be a Febi Bilstein 26372 38x52x7 CLOCKWISE rotation and made of FPM, used by many Ford Fiesta models, for some reason the equivalents from other brands are only 6 mm thick and more expensive.

[@dposer10]

Those kind of remind me of the old sears tractors over here in the US

[@dposer10]

Also do they change the front pulley on the diesel machines? They don't spin the same rpm so not sure

[@SammyFender]

Well.. “It ran when parked” or, “It ran the last time I used it” and then there is the always subjective “Very ‘clean’ unit”

[@easydoesit2006]

If you put the pulley puller back on and tighten fairly tight without bending the tool, remove the socket wrench then smack it on the top where you tighten it with your socket wrench with a hammer it should just pop off🎉

[@AshLikesCar5]

Very nice 👍

[@baileythefarmer571]

Hi what did you use in the squirt bottle to degrease the chassis and mounting plate looked to work well ?

[@paulf2529]

I always weld the nuts on my own air filters, stops them rattling loose and needing to tighten the nut and no real reason to need to ever fiddle with the filter.

[@AZVIDS]

Excellent content👍

[@tonyfreeman5048]

Really good video can you run e85 in small engines. What part of England are you in thank you very much

[@aliveandkicking1977]

Happy new year 2024

[@christopherlewry7906]

When's part 2

[@matty3507]

As you have no fuel from the injection pump have you checked it's set in the run position

[@vinceianni4026]

Good job

[@tubeDude48]

Ar 7:15, that junk at the bottom is most likely, from crappy Ethanol fuel! I'd ultrasonic that whole carb. in Simply Green. It WON'T run correctly until you do.

[@chuckclark9464]

Now you put this one out a month ago did you do part two yet? Did you hook up the diesel engine?

[@robertmailhos8159]

Nice swap job going from gas diesel

[@BladSG]

did you hold the throttle wide open when you were cranking it though?

[@ryanmc-1754]

More atv 😎 please restore it thanks for giving me hours of entertainment

[@MarcoVdschyff-gs7np]

I want part two please

[@adampyro834]

Diesels... always like to be awkward. hope you have a good christmas and new year DW/MR

[@cryton69]

what happens with part 2😃😃

[@jacjones4776]

I have one of those lombadini engines. Mine is awful hard to start

[@mj-rm7ir]

Hi did you get the diesel engine to run T

[@SNBRdude]

Part 2 wen

[@gamey356]

When are you gonna complete the build or at least post it?

[@beppisdoggo8213]

why the diesel swap?

[@TimothyPoindexter-o4z]

Can't find part 2

[@davearthur514]

Do you have another channel where you use a wood lathe ?

[@liammccarthy-qh3us]

Whair did you get the engine.

[@mikeyoung5211]

Could you put a pto to run a mulcher.

[@MarcoVdschyff-gs7np]

I want part 2 please machinary restorer

[@TimothyPoindexter-o4z]

Where is part 2 at

[@mattym129]

I think it’s pretty likely the engine was scrap, with a faulty fuel pump, so he abandoned the project.

[@selgonzo475]

3 months no part 2 yet?

[@GRrrr-xr7kj]

Hey Daggerwin, I know it's a bit far from the topic of the channel, but you could try a renovation of a 125cc 2-stroke kart sometime

[@JyveKilla]

you should write the date on your note too

[@MarcoVdschyff-l8e]

I want part two please machinery restorer

[@takis12345]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikedavis2969]

👍

[@jasperedwards2713]

ahh you wanna run it on red diesel

[@stevethegreasemonkey]

It's hard to get red diesel unless you're a farmer

[@Kelita_penguin]

The one t1100 you you swap a deisel into it 😭

[@Aleskander-gq9tw]

Hi i sent you an e-mail. I am restoring identical diesel engine from my Westwood and i need some help and information.

[@eric_seguin]

Tease. lol

[@pepethefrog7193]

Forget your torque mumbo-jumbo. That is BS. The only important number is HP, the rest is gearing.
