Standard Monarch Garden Tractor

[@ChickaWoofRanch]

I don't know if my two year old son was more excited for it to start or me. He called it "little tractor". Thanks for sharing!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Chick-a-Woof Ranch Thanks and glad you'll watched along. Makes me want to go to a tractor show now. Take care

[@wyattoneable]

It amazes me how simple machinery can run forever. That was a treat, thanks!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+wyattoneable I know what you mean. I just don't see much of the stuff made now being able to function 50 or more years from now. Simple but made to last. Take care

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very cool old rig. Thanks for sharing it with us Lloyd.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+The Shade Tree Fix-it Man Thanks George, It was fun getting out and cruising the yard...lol

[@geargriden19]

It sure does run and sound good Rusty! Always nice when you don't have to spend a couple hours messing with something to get it to run after it ain't been ran a while. Have a good'nnn

[@RustyGlovebox]

+geargriden19 Thanks Gear, it was almost too easy...lol But fun to walk it around

[@crzy4htrods]

[@RustyGlovebox]

+crzy4htrods Thanks, Yep I'm just the care taker till the time for the next owner comes some day. Was glad to get it back in running order and play with it for now. Take care

[@ianpym3953]

[@RustyGlovebox]

+ian pym Thanks Ian , it was fun getting going again. Thanks and take care

[@GDTractor]

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Gary Dougherty Made about 1930. Runs like it's ready for work. Thanks Gary

[@mmielcarek3046]

Dad had the 'Standard Convertible'. Two banger with a ride on sulky. Had a bent valve that every once in a while you would get a miss till it rotated in a better position. Great little tractors.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That's an interesting story . They are well built little tractors

[@ziggassedup]

That's a cool old unit Lloyd..Even if it's plowing abilities are not up to scratch at least you don't have to push it around...Love that old stuff.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+ZIGgassedUP Thanks Zig, I have the old manuals for it and the picture show several different attachments. It was a welcomed tool on the small farms.

[@MrWillis5719]

Never seen a garden hand tractor before Thanks for showing it off

[@RustyGlovebox]

+MrWillis5719 I see them at antique tractors show at times . But getting harder to find. Take care

[@strokedfirebirdable]

What a awesome piece of history. Built tough.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+strokedfirebirdable It is a fun tractor to take to shows, they have come a long way since then.

[@johnwallace7465]

She sounds pretty sweet! I love to hear the old stuff run unfortunately that's why my garage is full of tractor parts.lol It looked like you had the clutch tied off Which is a good thing I wouldn't want that thing taking off while I was reaching through the wheel adjusting the Carb..lol

[@RustyGlovebox]

+John Wallace To adjust the carb you have to reach through the wheel spokes. Wouldn't want that tractor hoping in gear then. Thanks John and take care

[@rpeek]

Watchin' this video makes me wish summer would hurry up and get here. I hear birds in the background. 27 degrees here yesterday. I'm ready for some spring..

[@RustyGlovebox]

+rpeek We almost didn't have a winter here this year. It was really nice. Your winter was easier this year than the one before. But you'll have the motor home and boat at the lake before you know it. Take care

[@vw64manyrd]

very nice old machine! Thanks for showing!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+vw64manyrd It is a cool old tractor and glad to have it. Thanks

[@ShinyKnife]

Very cool, Ive seen some of those before at a threshers Reunion.. Love the sound of those old motors

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Shiny Knife Thanks , I have enjoyed having it and may start going to shows again.

[@DannyWalker1949]

That was sure neat to see it run again. I really like the sound of it too. Thanks for video.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Danny Walker Thanks Dan, After it ran a while the carb cleared out and work good. Thanks and take care

[@jamesbaker6803]

Very cool my wifes grand dad had one and used it up to 1978 to do his garden

[@RustyGlovebox]

+james baker Those old tractors are tuff. This is was made around 1930. Take care

[@RoodogGonebushTas]

She is in pristine condition especially for its age. You don't hear that sound very often nowadays, a sweet old tractor you have there mate!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Roodog Gonebush Thanks Roodog, it was a sight when I first got it. Wasn't sure if it would ever run again but with a little luck it made it, Take care my friend

[@RoodogGonebushTas]

Rusty Glovebox Well you done a great job fixing her up mate! :)

[@DarrenCharron]

That little tractor is really cool!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Darren Charron Thanks Darren , a fun old tractor to play around with.

[@ramblers69]

[@RustyGlovebox]

+ShawnMrFixitlee Thanks, Just a little work and it was up and going again.

[@busman5429]

wow and it works without GPS..love the sound you know Lloyd it sounds a lot like me when I'm walking down to the post office to get the mail...

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Dan “Busman54” Love State of the art for the day in 1930 but because they didn't were slow to develop new designs, stop mfg in 1949. I know what you mean , when I get up in the morning my knees sound like I'm walking on bubble wrap...lol Take care Dan

[@cokeman250]

Now that's awesome. To bad they can't still make things that work and last that long. God bless buddy

[@RustyGlovebox]

+cokeman250 I know what you mean, we are lucky to 5 years out of something now. Thanks and take care

[@SteveRobReviews]

Fantastic, looks a whole lot easier to hand crank than an old farmall . No plastic on that machine. Nice Rusty

[@RustyGlovebox]

+STEVE ROB I was surprised how easy it fired up. It had been setting for years. Thanks Steve

[@buzzsah]

Now that is a piece of history a working piece of history.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+buzzsah An oldie but a goodie for sure. Thanks

[@hezekiahdotson9233]

nice earlier standard. I collect standards and that's technically pre monarch would have been referred to just as the standard tractor. early ones have flat blade wheels and carbon on the back of the cylinder later are on side. Walsh and standard where actually separate company's that used the same design and then joined all together with twins also to form the standard company.

[@StanislavGrymblat]

Hello, my dear friend,Rusty ! Great video! I loved it! Thank you for the friendly and constructive comments! Thank you for participating in the experiment. Two more videos, then bude result.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thank you Stanislav, I have collected several antique farm engines also. Have a great weekennd.

[@snocrushr]

That is a cool old piece of machinery.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+snocrushr Thanks, I have really enjoyed these old engines and each one is a little different.

[@black85chevy]

man I love old equipment n tractors. especially " pop pop" engines. lol

[@RustyGlovebox]

+black85chevy Me too, I have a couple of those old engine , i"ll get them out. Need to get them running again. Thanks and take care

[@RustyGlovebox]

+wile coyote Thanks , I have always worked on mechanical projects since a kid. And will till I can't anymore I guess. Thanks and take care

[@MothershipVideos]

Fricken amazing. When you get old and stiff you will be able to hope on your skate-board and have the monarch tow you to the shops for some pipe tobacco and rocking chair oil.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Mothership Videos Ha ha, That's right Noel. You read my mind. Take care

[@not2fast4u2c]

[@RustyGlovebox]

[@RodderFiles]

that is so cool

[@all21leishman67]

I found a all original standard monarch at an up coming auction, what are the worth?

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Very nice Lloyd. Towards the end of the video were you adjusting the timing? We had an old Allis Chamers tractor that we hand cranked to start, it had a starter but most of the time the battery was dead so we cranked it. It snapped back once on my dad and broke his wrist, it had a good kick. Your Monarch reminds me of the Gravely model L's we had. TFS

[@scottsinfl]

That thing will work way after we are gone too.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+scottsinfl I think you're right about that. A whole lot longer ...ha ha

[@RobertMcarthur-gt3gl]

Just got a standard Monarch tractor early model missing the gas tank could you tell me the dimensions of a gas tank for that

[@1970chevelle396]

My dad has an old plow that looks like that. It has a very old Lawson engine on it.

[@RustyGlovebox]

+1970chevelle396 There was a lot of small tractors made of all types and sizes. Thanks and take care

[@markking2046]

Thanks Rusty would 40 weight non detergent oil be ok for engine oil ? 80 for gearbox?

[@RustyGlovebox]

30 or 40 wt will work good. I wouldn't put any heavier weight in it. Good luck

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

That's one Cool Tractor! Keep her running! How long have you had that?

[@RustyGlovebox]

+5 Acres on the Bayou I've had it close to 20 yrs myself. It was made in the 30's. Just don't make them like that any more.

[@bobwhite3777]

Hey liked the vid👍 early tractors have a machined surface on them right next to the oil petcocks do you know what year it is? what is the serial number? Ps: the oil petcocks on mine are made of brass might want to shine yours up a bit☺️

[@RustyGlovebox]

the tractor tag is E9454 on the plate. Not knowing for sure, I thought it was around 1930 or so. If this tag # doesn't show up, I can see if there is a number stamped on the case. I have the original parts book and manual for the tractor too.

[@bobwhite3777]

Rusty Glovebox I am sorry but I can't find out the year on yours I don't know it should work on all standard tractors. I know the E means it is a standard monarch and the 1 and 3 number are the year but that doesn't make sense the letter E should be the 4 one. They started production around 1934 and ended in 1950. Mine is a 1939 I'll do some more digging and you look by the pet cooks and see if there is a number there

[@w056007568]

That started really well and seemed to improve as you were walking with it as well. I wonder how well it might pull if you asked it to work pulling that drag. Does it only have one gear?

[@RustyGlovebox]

+Dan Whiteford I think the carb was clearing out and running better. Just 1 gear forward. It was rated at 3.5 hp. I may see if it will pull me on a skid, that should be a good test...lol

[@bicknellmanor8001]

Never saw such a thing!

[@RustyGlovebox]

+BIcknell Manor I have been glad to have it and running. I would hate to tackle a 10 acre field...lol, Have a Happy Easter

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

a hand crank - Wow

[@robertwhite7894]

That's what I said

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

Cool

[@markking2046]

I have a Monarch very similar to yours. I'm going to try to get the old girl running do you know where i can get a spark plug for it mine is broken?

[@RustyGlovebox]

I ordered some Autolite 3095 Copper Non-Resistor Spark Plug from Amazon and they worked good. Same as a Ford model T plug. Good luck

[@TheFrameoff]

Made in the U.S.A .... very cool

[@RustyGlovebox]

+TheFrameoff It has been one of the pieces I've really enjoyed and taking to shows . Take care

[@MissouriOldTimer]

you might have already said but do you know about what year that was made?

[@RustyGlovebox]

Hello i have standard monarch garden tractor but spark plug broke do you know what the parts #

+harryfaber That's right Harry, no excuse for idle hands now...lol Take care

[@marcushuntjr8142]

I know this video is 4 years old but i just viewed it for first time. Does the tag say monarch on it ? That appears to be an earlier model just called the standard garden tractor. If by chance its tagged as a monarch judging by what i see it would be very early possibly even a transition tractor. I own many tractors from these related builders.

[@RustyGlovebox]

I have the original manuals and it is a Monarch.

[@marcushuntjr8142]

@@RustyGlovebox must be very early then. To my knowledge the monarch models didn't use that aircleaner & wheels appear to be larger diameter. I love to see a pic of ur tag to check. Style serial number etc. Very interesting machine

[@2.67acrehomestead2]

Nice..I like it...Wish you would have tilled a little with it. I bet it could get away from you easily.

[@ahorsenamedoaks1377]

is there a governor on theys engine? Because i cant seem to find any on mine.

No governor, its RPM's are limited by the atmospheric spring loaded intake valve . Good luck on your tractor

@@RustyGlovebox thanks bro.

[@robertwhite7894]

Wow is that the original Manuel. If so were did you get it

I got from the owner when I bought the tractor in the rough. He had a manual for everything he ever bought it looked like. I was surprise here knew right where to find it.

[@robertwhite7894]

I have one of these that I am restoring. It is quite a bit different but I want to know were I can find a maluel for it.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It is original , not a reproduction. I can make a copy if you want one.

[@robertwhite7894]

Mine is a Standerd Walsh not a Standerd monarch. I'll be making a video of it sometime soon. Mine is really locked up too do you have any advise on how to get it free. Mine is only missing the fuel bowl and the crank.
