Vintage Pesticide Fogger Restoration.

Hello Folks today I am restoring this vintage fogger .
In the midst of my passion for collecting vintage machinery and equipment, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that would prove to be a challenge - a vintage fogger machine from a bygone era. Little did I know that this rusty relic would take me on a journey of discovery, restoration, and a newfound appreciation for craftsmanship.
The Discovery:
It all began with a chance visit to an old, abandoned farmstead. As I explored the decaying outbuildings and overgrown fields, my eyes fell upon a peculiar machine covered in layers of dust and cobwebs. With its weathered appearance, it was clear that I had found something special. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a vintage fogger machine, likely from the early 20th century, used for pest control in orchards and farms.
As I began to disassemble the fogger, it became evident that the aluminium body had not aged gracefully. Decades of exposure to the elements had left it riddled with holes and corroded patches. It was a disheartening sight, but I was determined to bring this piece of history back to its former glory.
The next step was to address the holes in the aluminium body. This involved welding and patching, a delicate process that required a steady hand and an eye for detail.
Once the body was restored, attention turned to the inner workings. I meticulously cleaned, repaired, and refurbished each component, from the pumps and nozzles to the intricate brass fittings. It was a process that demanded patience and a deep understanding of vintage machinery.
After a months of dedicated effort and countless hours of labour, the vintage fogger machine stood before me in all its glory. Its aluminium body, once marred by holes and corrosion, now gleamed with pride, restored to its original splendour.

Hello, my friend. Brilliant restaurant.👍👏

[@Austeration]

Hey thanks very much for watching my friend 👍👍👍

[@charlesdebarber2997]

I recommend using rust converter on any sort of tank or anything that must hold liquid. Saves you from thinning the walls and causing holes via rust removal. You can paint right over the hardened rust after the rust converter dries.

[@Austeration]

Cheers Charles 👍 I didn't think of that. I mainly wanted to just remove any old chemical residue from the tank. I'll remember that one for next time 👍👍👍👍

[@charlesdebarber2997]

@@Austeration Excellent restoration, FYI. 👍 I only know about the rust converter after restoring a honey extractor years ago.

[@Austeration]

@@charlesdebarber2997 that sounds like a fun job. I don't even know what that looks like.

May want to try some aluminum Flux for low temp. I have had some good luck with the stuff. Good looking job.

[@Austeration]

Cheers Mike I had never used these rods before. I got all my training watching a KZbin clip, they made It look easy with no flux. Thanks for watching and leaving me a tip 👍👍👍

[@Dalesworkshop]

It looks really. great. When you welded with the aluminum rod it didn't appear you had to use any flux, is that right? Thats a good restoration from rags to riches,.

[@Austeration]

That is correct, your suppose to just heat up the area and not the rod. I had a lot of trouble getting it hot enough but the end result was pretty amazing. You couldn't even see or tell that it had any holes in it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@oneshotme]

Very good chance of having DDT in it so I really hope you used a mask restoring it!!! It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@Austeration]

Thanks buddy. Yes I wouldn't have been surprised if it did. Yes had the mask and everything on for this one. Thanks for your concern. I liked your message so I gave it a Thumbs up also 🤣

[@garrylearmonth9313]

Wow what a great repair job on the ally. I was thinking JB weld or similar given the age and oxide etc. But well done and a great result.

[@Austeration]

Cheers Garry, I thought you had seen this one already. After you mentioned about being a welder I thought you would have picked this one to pieces lol. I was well impressed with those rods in the end, couldn't find the patches after it was all cleaned up.

[@garrylearmonth9313]

I hadn't seen this one actually, I would never pick anyones work to pieces. I have found old oxidised ally really hard to work on with a tig or a mig actually. So from my perspective well done.@@Austeration

[@Austeration]

@@garrylearmonth9313 I was almost going to ask the other day. This was my first time doing this type of repair. It was a nightmare to start with.

[@garrylearmonth9313]

Changing to the MAPP gas was a good move and when in a couple of places the ally, slumped a little "it raised my heart rate" lol I thought u had lost it. But a great outcome. I haven't fired up a welder for years, almost seems like a lifetime ago now lol @@Austeration

[@Austeration]

@@garrylearmonth9313 I know right, when I spotted it moving I thought I'm done for. Almost had to buy 10 tubes of JB weld 🤣

[@Restorology]

Bloody hell I hope you wore a respirator while on the lathe. Nice work!

[@Austeration]

Yes I did, thanks for checking. Glad I had my gloves on also. Very messy work. Thanks for watching 👍

[@LTMS]

Too shiny, now we know your face. 😂😅 It looks like a death ray machine from the 50's. The design is gorgeous and your work is flawless as always. It's always pleasing to watch your videos and I learn something new every time.

[@Austeration]

Thanks LTMS I was trying to hide but it was very tricky. I learn something new every time also. That aluminium brazing was not much fun and I was surprised that broken piece held up as well as it has. 👍

[@Mackey1902]

Beautiful finished project! What do you use in your blast cabinet? With all the rust and other stuff how often do you have to change it?

[@Austeration]

Thanks for watching Boss man. I use Garnett in my cabinet. I have never changed it, I just keep topping it up. Once I removed it all to try andremove all the fine dust from it but that's about it.

[@hdioramamaking]

[@Austeration]

Thank you 😊

[@ArtemisToo]

Fabulous! Out of curiosity, what is the machine making the fog from? Atmospheric moisture, or is there some other process?

[@Austeration]

Thank you Artemis. I'm no expert on this one but I believe the fan blowing out the back is creating a suction from the tank up to the spout.

[@Austeration]

Fog or a mist really. It draws the water and chemical up from the bottom tank and blows it out the back. No smoke as it has no heating element in side. Hope that explains it better.
