My model o has a very old abd tired water pump that I may do away with, it's been sat in a shed since the start of covid and is probably wrecked by now, iam probably going to restore it. Maybe in green or gray not sure, BTW that sounds stunning

My plug keeps going black with soot after every cut. I have read that it means it’s running too rich. I am struggling to find the solution as to which way I turn the air/fuel mixture screw ? My mower only has one adjustment screw however I have just bought a new carb which has another adjustment screw on the bottom of the bowl under the main jet so hopefully this will help me ? Any advice would be great 😊

Proves that when something is made in the USA, it will last!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

YOU REMOVED ALL ITS PATINA AND THE KICKSTART SPRINGIS MISSING

That's a nice way to brake the flywheel fins, all you have to do is put a piece of hard wood on the piston and hit it until it moves!!!!!! That's what I do and it always works:-))

The Ford Cortina is now aged 50 years old in 2024. In 10 years time 🕰️, the Ford Cortina car 🚘 will be aged 60 years old. Very good 👍 condition and does extremely well on the roads 🛣️ 🛣️ everyday. It’s an estate car 🚙. 👍

Yeah a fuse, I need to add that to my E93A

DONT SCEAM A COLD ENGNE

In 1963 we bought a Sears Craftsman lawn mower that had a windup spring starter. It was better designed than that one and worked for 13 years!

Being offered an HCB35 fitted to a rotorvator with optional grass cutting blade. Got photos if interested.

Did you get round to restoring it? Ive just got lucky and managed to buy a j.a.p 55 with the large oval fuel tank, flywheel gaurd on the front and an aircleaner fitted, all be it in pieces but these engines are so rare i couldn't help myself

What a beauty. Always loved the Mk3 the most.

Hi!! did you fix it?

They are loud! I’m guessin the exhaust design has something to do with it?

Sounds like a tight tappet. Check the valve clearances

I just bought a Biltmore Crank push mower. 3.5 hp. Starts and runs. $25. Very happy.

Thanks

We have two of them, the easiest diesel engines ever to start. The best tractors ever built. Buy the way one has a reg AVX 932, could someone tell me what year that is.

Hi, where do you take the lighting power from ? Cheers.

my first lawn mower is a briggs engine( 3 H.P. mod.# 80906 with the first generation( old style) wind up starter made in 1961. this mower was bought used in 1973, and I still use it today with 9 thousand hours on the mower/ engine

that is a commercial mower, with ball bearing wheels. the engine does have a loose connecting rod/ worn crankshaft that can be rebuilt. 1968 was the last year that briggs offered the wind up starter( killed by the U.S. federal government), also that is the second generation starter. the first generation starter was used from 1960 to 1964, and it used the flywheel teeth with the holder assembly mounted on the side of the starter blower housing to stop engine rotation so you could wind up the starter. the mod. # of this engine is a 92906 , the engine build date is the" code "#, and the first two digits are the year, the next two digits are the month, and the last two digits are the day, if there is another set of digits, that would be the hour that the engine was built. example: 66032205, translation: 5th hour of mar. 22, 1966.I mhave been doing small engine work for the last 50+ years, and I collect/ restore briggs engines

Where can i buy one

These are very well made machines. The circular attachments on the impellor are actually the cutters. The impellor never did have sharp edges - the circular cutters were designed to be rotated when the leading edge was blunted, and eventually they could be replaced.

Have you got her back on the road yet ? Hope you have 👍🏻👍🏻

Why were you laughing when it almost started?

Those post-war Zenith carburettors were made of a very nasty alloy. If you remove the bowl to replace the gasket or clear out the jets, the material of the body distorts so that it is almost impossible to achieve an airtight joint thereafter. Moreover, it is fatally easy to strip the threads on the two bolts which retain the bowl if you try just a little too hard to tighten them. This one looks as if it has been leaking fuel between the bowl and its cover - and of course, if fuel can get out, air can get in. I learned about this when running a slightly later Devon (the 1951 version with column change and central instrument-panel, like the Somerset which succeeded it) as everyday transport some 45 years ago.

Is it still running in 2023?

Hey! I have one of those!

Did you get a Bongo. Lost your email and tel number. Cheers from Mick (George)

Great vid! Fab engine. Just one question though, don’t they run in a clockwise direction? (Ignore me, you’re starting it from the back of the engine, hence clockwise 😊)

Very cool old mower. I’ve never seen a wind up starter before. They should be putting those on modern small engines today here in 2023. This would make someone who is “less able” to still be able to start their mower/power washer/generator/whatever. I’ve got a generator that will start on the first good pull but you gotta be able to give it a really good pull. This would equalize that issue and make more people…more independent.

Ha-ha! I was yelling at you "Cold start button! Cold start button - on the injector pump! Jesus, use the bloody cold start, why don't you!" Fact is, I bought an abandoned 1951 E1A, and used to fight with the damned thing until an old boy, a retired farmer, saw me struggling to get the tractor started, and kindly educated me in the finer points of early Fordson diesels. Interestingly, unrestored but keeping an eye on essential maintenance, I used that machine pretty much every day for ten years until I sold my 'hobby farm'. The tractor I gave to my nephew who uses it on his Northamptonshire property to keep the grass down in the paddocks. Still running well - looks like sh*t - and at 72 years old, is still a reliable work horse.

Kool. Now don't shut it off until your done mowing

Looking at videos to see how to mount my 72 on a wood skid for running. Thank you!

Perfect starts 1st turn. I like the back tyres. 😊

Seems only fair that the old girl got to have her revenge on the barn after being locked up in there for 20+ years!

Wow the gas tank right up there in your face!! 🔥 But love this old mower!!

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

The assembly of the lawn mower could be done without any problems ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend I just puzzled something about the red strange “key”. However, it quickly turned out that this creates a kind of contact bridge between battery packs and lawn mowers. An additional backup as a father of a 1 year old nephew is great!! :-)

I wish that type starter would make a comeback! I like that, I think it's a good idea!!

This brings back memories of my childhood and the mower that my father had. Thanks for sharing!

I have one just like it but the motor is white It will run also and engine is great shape to 😊😊😊

Hi, do you still have this brilliant Norlett....?

Really cool

They are cool the flat head engines dont see many these days very reliable a problem with them was due to the proximity of the carb to the manifold they woulkd sometimes get vapor locked simple fix was to put a heat shield between manifold and carb

i have a fordson truck also still rebuilding it have taken it for a run which is good it was a paddock wreak when i got it just needs a few more repairs to complete The carb on youRs doesnt look standard what type is it and have you converted to 12volt i did also as the lights werent that bright and the 6volt battery were really expensive cheaper to go 12volt i thought more practical
