All I have ever seen before are air drills. But used the same for drilling holes for dynamite. So if you can get some dynamite you can blast all of those big rocks. You will be a full-fledged "powder monkey" and have a lot of fun at the same time. Would make a great video!

i thought.. why not just replace the spark plug? Then after it came out from sand blasting.. all became clear! Very satisfying. Great job!!

We used a similar one in the Swedish army. The name was “Pionjär” = Pioneer. It was a two stroke like this, could probably wake the dead when going full.

[@dustcommander100]

Your ability to get machines to cooperate is amazing! I have seen a similar machine that was made for packing dirt, but it operated at a much lower speed. The cylinder was very similar. I cannot imagine operating a machine like that daily to drill rock. It is also amazing that the carburetor was able to function reliably and had not been damaged by vibration.

I've lit fires on and then tipped iced water on big rocks to break them in the past. The drill would be more fun i think!!

Ps, you should be careful drinking and operating heavy machinery! The fire looked like it enjoyed the glass for you though!!

[@jamessmith7691]

I was tasked with starting one of these that had sat for a long time. We used it for pounding 3 foot metal posts in the ground. It was so heavy and awkward that most of the time the guys opted to use a sledge hammer. I always had respect for these old pieces that were built when men were happy to have them.

[@mobiousenigma]

thanks for the videos! it has been a while and patience has its rewards ...more old machinery makes me believe we are loosing something through progress where it is obsolete before you bought it wears out before its service life and isnt designed to be repaired maintained or rejuvenated . personally i think its time to get rid of the safety guards and backup alarms but thats another topic lol. looking forward to more machines and the information you provide with them.
