[@raywood8187]

Nice to hear birds. It's snowing where I am.

[@kahlid-ataya]

thankfully you was able to get the sound back

[@jongsookim636]

I know you hired payed actors.😎

[@PamelaBrandonChromeFoto]

This is some true ADD focused detailed man

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks a lot!

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@raywood8187]

I'm no expert on hoists, but that looks like a really well built one worthy of the nice restore you did. Let's all be thankful for nice old men. And women of course!

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you, I appreciate it. They made propper tools back then!

[@patjohnson3100]

Great restoration of a wonderful British vintage tool. It's also still very practical and useful as a shop tool. Thumbs up from the USA.

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you!

[@shedmanx3640]

Always a pleasure to watch you work. Especially on a wonderfully built tool like this hoist. I felt for you for the amount of times you had to dismantle it to fit a part you had forgotten. I do that waaay too many times.

[@rbyaldrzee6657]

Beatiful 👍

[@shaunmullings4153]

Sometimes bare metal is just as beautiful as painted. Bonza job cobba. From Western Australia. 😉😉👍👍

[@johnconnor555]

I really like how you restore all this things, you're born for this job I think !!! They are many people doing this,but only a few guys are really good.You're one of them,you're the man !!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤👌👌👌

Wonderful job restoring the hoist, and it is working, too.

Looks great, Chief! Another cracking video! 🍻🤘💜

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks again Andy!🍻🤘💜

[@Mikey__Mike]

The orange colour always looks nice :)

[@AJRestoration]

I love the orange!

[@thebrothers3971]

We had a Tug Lift at work years ago . Don't know what happened to it. Very useful.

[@garymucher4082]

Nice refurbishing work. I can only imagine the difficulty of manufacturing that center armature. A real nightmare with that part and the steps to machine it. We look at such simplistic looking machines and never see or understand the complexity of what is inside them until they stop working properly. Thanks for the project and inside views. Thumbs Up!

[@olgaabella2537]

Es verdad lo que dices !! Tan complejas que son por dentro

[@christophermarshall5765]

Looks great!! Nice job!! Love the colour scheme!! I think it looks better in orange & black, with white lettering!!

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

Cool project buddy, and good job 👍👍👍

[@oneshotme]

[@dannyhenson3141]

[@Bri-tg6xr]

Very cool hoist, I could use that lifting ATVs in the shed. I kinda liked it vintage looking, maybe take it apart, regrease it and then put it back together again with a matte clear next time for me to buy? Haha.

[@robertmailhos8159]

It's so up.lifting to watch you restore stuff such as this hoist LoL 😅 get it up. Lifting

Gefällt mir diese Arbeit ist.perfekt👏👏👏👏♥️

[@stephenpaul9165]

Very nice 👍

[@mskayla7747]

I guess I needn't have worried about the head of the screw you were trying to remove being stripped. After seeing what it did to two bits, wow! that is one tough fastener! Nicely done, btw.

[@user-xo4cs1op2u]

Порекомендовал бы мастеру обзавестись ударной отвёрткой а так вроде не плохая реставрация

[@restorationconstantines7731]

[@WILD35]

Oh very heavy duty tool my dad has got 4 of them on his lorry

[@AJRestoration]

It is, they made them real good back in the days!

[@carrestore]

nice restoration

[@MarkMeadows90]

Don't think I've ever seen one of those tools before. Looks interesting. Nice job restoring it. At 24:38, think I heard a loud helicopter overhead. I thought you were in the US for a moment. I hear those loud army helicopters all the time where I'm at LOL

[@TheStig1961]

3/4 Ton is far more then 750 Kg😁. Fantastic restoration. Regards Stig Österberg from Dalsbruk in Finland.

[@blainerueckwald]

Sorry but 750 kg x 2.2 lbs/kg = 1650 lbs. A ton is 2000lbs x 3/4= 1500lbs. So no.

[@lpconserv6074]

Excellent job done here... These are called Coffin Hoists in the States...

[@glennmoreland6457]

Herbert Morris Empress works, Loughborough, England. Cranes, blocks & lifting equipment. 🇬🇧🙂

[@SHOINOFF]

I have a hoist similar to this one. It needs to be restored as well.

[@brandoncooke1529]

Are you South Africa I swear on my life I hear a Hadida in the background of one of your vids

[@AJRestoration]

That is a Hadida hahaha

[@Lukelins1]

We’re do you live. Sound like an airport in your shop.

[@AJRestoration]

I live about 2miles from a military base.

[@AFV85]

The Germans used these alot on there recovery vehicles with pilsen Jibs on the bergepanzers! It's the bigger hoist I'm having trouble working out how to feed the chain back through they used this small one to pull the arms of the jib back up towards the tank and lower on the either the vehicle or ground once engine was removed for example and

[@josewagostolopez7510]

Le faltó la pieza que hace que gire en los dientes y hace el trabajo de chicharra

[@garycowart986]

How do know how to put things back together are you familiar with all mechanical issues or reverse the film ?

[@pauljohansson288]

The hooks look better in 🍊.

[@paulredfern2252]

19:50 looks like you forgot the 2 cap screws holding on the chain guide before closing the assembly?

[@Video__136]

Kaha milegi ye or kitne ki plzz bta dijiye

[@boklenboklen]

احسنت اتمنه اعمل معك اتمنه

[@RachaelSA]

Where does your dog get water while washing the chain in his bowl? Must he maar just wait??

[@DLDietz]

I'm confused - I didn't think you forgot the ratchet items. I thought you were just TEST FITTING the other parts.

[@josewagostolopez7510]

We're i faind replacements parts For restore mine??? It's from a Wright company
