Your dad had to be mad but so proud at the same time i bet he had all kinds of stuff missing

My cousin Tommy, also my next door neighbor, took apart his dad's push mower when he was in the fourth grade. There were pieces of that engine everywhere on a blanket. Stripped down to the piston. I told him his dad was going to whip his butt when he got home but Tommy said he would have the mower back together by that time. I was thinking to myself "yeah right". About 4 hours later I heard Tommy start that engine and it sounded great and ran better than it did before he tore it down. And the best part...there were no extra parts or hardware laying around. Some people have lots of talent even at young ages. My hats off to you who do.

Back in the early 70s i used to race my go cart with a big chain saw engine all around the neighborhoods , my friends on there mini bikes couldn’t catch me , cops would come down the street and we all went in different directions . The never caught any of us man that was fun , haven’t thought about that in 40 years thanks Taryl that was fun !

Great show!! I put a 3 1/2 hp Briggs and Scratton on a Montgomery Wards bicycle when I was a teenager. Borrowed the motor off of dads grain auger, belt tightener pulley off the corn planter, and a v-belt pulley that bolted to the spokes from White's bicycle shop , and number nine wire and a spring for the belt tightener. I mounted the motor over the back wheel on a piece of oak. It would run 35 mph!! What a blast. And my dear old dad didn't ring my neck, bless his heart!

I love it!!!!.......Reminded me that in the 60's, I build a wood framed three wheeled go cart. Rear axle ran direct in the 2x4 frame rails, one wheel drive, one wheel brake, front of a bike frame bolted to the center front with handle bars, shortened forks with a lawn mower wheel (went through lots of them!).....engine was made to slide forward to tighten belt to go (acted as a clutch). Broke down a lot but had several farmers junk piles for spare parts, not very fast, but had the time of my life. Later I traded an electric guitar that I was lousy at playing for a real metal go cart, man, I was on the top of the world!!!!!.....Had a ball on the rural roads!!!!!!!!!!........I think both you and I were crazy as kids, but I am sure neither of us would have traded all the fun for anything!!!!!!

Uncle Bob made us a go cart out of an old wooden ladder for a frame and a 1 Hp washing machine motor. Rope steering. Good Times.

Loved the period “pop top” Pepsi can in the background!

I'm on my daughter's KZread account. I remember taking things apart when I was very young. I just wanted to see what made things tick. I remember one time taking a scale apart. I'm suprised it still worked after that. There were a lot of things that didn't make it back together. When I was about 8 my dad told me that I needed to pay attention where the parts go when I took things apart. I think at that time he knew that I wasn't going to stop taking things apart. Lol. After that conversation my put back together rate went from about 50% to 90%. There were a lot of things that I wanted to build, but didn't have a welder, chop saw, or allen wrenches. I got my first welder about 13 years ago. I bought a brand new wire welder. I'm in my second childhood now. I have a Coast to Coast riding mower that I put an opposed 16 horse Briggs. I did a pulley swap on it. It went 12 mph. I did some more modifications to it. It then went 18 mph. I did one more modification and it went 40 mph. That's with the governor still hooked up. It took me about two years to solve the steering issue. I tried to align the best I could many times with no avail. Then one day when I was walking by the rider I noticed the problem. The caster was way off. I drilled out the factory spot welds for the front axle housing and readjusted the caster. My welder welded it in place. It was a complete different machine. I eventually slowed it down to 24 mph. I used it to pull a yard card full of grass/weeds to the dump. With the steeper gearing it was more user friendly with the extra weight. The factory brake didn't last long. So I cut a small piece off of a brake shoe for a car and fitted it to the drive belt. It has the 6 speed transmission plus the varidrive. So the varidrive does most of the stopping and the piece of the brake shoe only rubs the belt to stop when it almost stopped anyway. I hasn't worn the belt yet. I've done some riding mower modifications as well with the snowblowers. I have an older 12 hp Murray that runs on E85. I have 2 RER Snapper riders that run on E85. I've tried to do the same with a couple of push mowers, but it wasn't worth the effort. I mow in the summer and move snow in the winter. Plus I work on people's mowers and snowblowers. I even work on a competitor's mower. I'm small scale compared to you, but it pays the bills.

My buddies and I ran a Briggs 2 HP without the governor on the first go-kart and minibike we built. Never had any issues. When I convinced another buddy to eliminate the governor on his Tecumseh 3.5 HP within a week he threw the rod. Same guy who, a couple years later, we convinced it was OK to hold his Chevy II Powerglide in low up to 60 MPH. Guess who threw a rod. Then we urged him to do Neutral Slam starts with his Mercury. Within a week, he tore some teeth off the Mercury's differential gears. See, it's not always wise to be a good listener.

I used to do the same type of stuff and it made my Dad mad cause I took his stuff apart to build things. I'm 61 years old now and still have that same exact sabre saw that was my Dad's and it still works as well.Thanks for some memories.

I've got my dad's saws and drills from late 60s. Still run great. They built rock solid back then - no plastic crap.

In 1968 I asked:my dad for a snowmobile. He told me to build one. I found an aluminum toboggan and a Maytag washing machine engine with a centrifugal clutch and kick start at the town dump. The local machine shop let me go through their scrap pile. I got a pulley, axle, bearing blocks. The owner helped me with a steerable front ski. The Texaco garage supplied a Ford model A fan belt. Over several weeks time I had been using my red wagon to collect parts and show the engine to get the correct size belt etc. the belt was drilled and machine screws were added to grip the ice. The was a river behind our house. It was frozen with little snow. The first day the brass machine screws broke off. The Ace hardware guy saw my problem and supplied hardened machine screws. It worked for a week till we got our first real snow, no more traction. When I got home from school there saw a brand new 1968 300cc 14 H.P. Skidoo parked next to my home built snowmobile.

I learned more from this video than the last 10 by Scotty Kilmer.

That's what I'm talking about ,we did cool stuff when we were kids back in the day .Kids now a days have no idea what real fun was like . Thanks ,brought back lots of memories .

Excellent vid and story Taryl !!! Back in 1965 I wanted to make a fan driven snow sled. I took a similar engine offa' my neighbor's self-propelled reel type mower... the thing was just sittin' in his garage doin' nuthin'. lol I got the 30 inch plastic fan blade offa' big 'ol free-standing restaurant fan I found in the basement of Hering's restaurant which had the same size shaft as my engine - 1/2". I cut the arms and back offa' antique high-chair.(got in trouble for that) I bolted the engine to the chair seat and attached the blade. I tested it before mounting to the sled. My left hand holding the head of the engine I pulled the rope with my right hand and it started right up and the fan immediately blew the whole works over with the fan blade somehow missing my left arm as it went by. The fan blade blew to pieces as it hit the ground. End of experiment. Moved on to build a gokart with the engine, which of course had no brakes but that's another story. lol Thanks for the memories Taryl !!!

the little half horse briggs you have is just like the one I used to make a motor bike back in the 50s(salvaged it off an old reel type mower). I still have the engine in my storage shed. loved this project and story.

Back when i was in 4th grade and for years my dad worked construction and was gone all week most of the time. I got into a lot of stuff like this i learn to weld and use torch at a very young age on my own i can still remember welding on something and looking up and my dad was standing there he come home early that week. looks like you had a good time as a young kid also. good video

Wow. Your brilliance and ingenuity at that age is remarkable.

Reminds me of when I was a kid. Always taking stuff apart trying to fix it, figure it out, or rebuild it. Always tinkering around with things. My neighbor was a mechanic and he worked out of a shop in his garage. I was over there all the time watching him work on cars. I still love anything with an engine!!

Taryl awesome story brings back the same memories messing around with mini bikes, tractor, love it!!😎👍

No computer games just good adventurous fun. Love it👍

Heck yeah, awesome video! Brought back memories as I was a child fabricobbler also 😆. I built an all wood go cart with wagon wheels, foot steering with a rope backup, and a 4hp vertical Kmart briggs. Transmission/clutch system was an old riding mower transmission I found in the junkyard by my house, I adapted it perfectly with some old pulleys and belts. I say perfectly, but it was a trial and error process for sure. I remember I could slam it into gear and shift all 3, and even reverse occasionally. I eventually blew the transmission so I had acquired a 4 hp REO mower engine from a gas powered reel mower I got in a deal for working cleaning up these people's shed and yard. That's fine was awesome, and it had a built in gear reduction. I used a pedal powered belt clutch and my dad built me a steering gear at work so I could install a steering wheel to my 2x4" front "axle"/steering plank swivel style 😆 I also rocked around everywhere with an old 28cc weed wacker engine on my Kent BMX bike, dad helped me with the mount and clutch. Good times

I love this story. It’s no wonder you’ve been so successful... it has been in your blood from the very beginning.

This video explains a lot about Taryl and his passion for small engines.

If you can dream it....you can build it. I got some good laughs out of this episode.

When I was in 4th 5th 6th grade my next door neighbor buddy, maybe a year older than me worked out in the garage with his dad all the time. Outboard motors, go carts, mini bikes lawn mowers... He knew all about tools & building motorized stuff while I was still putting cards in the spokes of my Schwinn. I just remember feeling really inept and kinda jealous. There are a few lucky young kids out there that are exposed to this mechanical stuff early on & get to carry that knowledge with them throughout life. I had to learn what I know the hard way, later in life, through trial & error & dollar after dollar.

Oh hell dude! That's awesome. When I was little, I built go-karts out of anything with wheels. Wooden toy box wheels. Wheels from rolling totes, etc. Mostly for down hill cruising. No motors. lol. Awesome as always!

LOVE THE SKITS!!!!!!! Love the attention to detail in the accuracy of the story.

Lots of fun going back down memory lane. I've been tempted to build another mini bike like the one I built using an old bicycle frame, B&S 2 1/2 HP edger engine, Speed Queen washing machine clutch, dryer pulley and wheelbarrow wheel, all from trash pile, when I was about 12 or 13. Believe it or not, I still have a couple of those old Speed Queen fluid drive coupling washing machine clutches.

Taryl, you were already genius as kid, amazing.

The ingenuity and creativity necessary to build this especially in the 4th grade without being able to "Google" is extraordinary!! I would be interested to know if he received any accolades when it was completed and actually worked. He stated he caught some grief for cutting the wood and dismantling the family lawn mower but the success of his goal showed intelligence, creativity, determination and true grit. I hope his parents ultimately applauded young Taryle and encouraged his future endeavors.

My wife has finally really liked your channel after showing her many times. She thought it was so cool this episode and thought you must have had a amazing brain for a nine year old to build such a thing. I always find your channel so funny wnd at the same time informative

This brought back some memories of the summer of 1966 when those were running around the neighborhood and the kids who had one were under strict orders nobody else rode theirs unless their was a adult with a license was around for a possible post crash trip for medical. 🤣🤣🤣

This is brilliant in it's simplicity. Thank you Taryl for breaking things down to their simplest components and showing how an engine can power a kid's bike. You are a gem!

Best video yet! Great story, thanks so much, Taryl!

Wow. Your parents must have been so proud. Great video

We all built mini bikes and go karts in our neighborhood in the 60s. Great times remembered. Thanks Teryl!

That’s great! As a parent it is a balancing act to encourage creativity when your kids do things like this. Kids today lack this and it’s going to be the end of us.

That's killer...love it 😎👍

Love your videos. You deserve an academy award for your videos. they're as entertaining as they are informative.

Amazing! To think he did all of that WITHOUT the "interscreen!"

I did almost the same thing at the same age. I took a gas powered reel type walk behind with the identical Briggs engine you used and took the handle off and the rear wheels off the trike. I than bolted the step plate that was between the rear trike tires to the plate on the mower where the engine and belt clutch were mounted. Of course the mower tires were now the rear tires of the trike. I was able to actuate the clutch via the original rod now moved to the trike. I rode that thing around my block a thousand times and when ever I would ride over grass I would cut a swatch. Over the years I mounted that old cast iron Briggs on many things. Video brought back those memories.

Fun watching the latest fix it videos. Please keep the fun rolling.
