I have a 1973 Wheel horse 14A. Stumbling around looking for videos on Wheel Horses, found this. Start watching and notice, holy crap this is Daggerwin!!

Great job, looks like new and ready for 40 more years - now we wait for you to restore the rest of the mower. 😊

No doubt; in 5 yrs there won't be anything left except that beautiful new engine. God bless.

Watching old engines being rebuilt is time well spent. Wonder how long before we lose this kind of knowledge. So little is passed down. Keep up the amazing work on the engine rebuilds, and inspiring others to learn this as well.

I really enjoy watching engine rebuilds, it’s so satisfying seeing something restored to it’s former glory. Job very well done. 👍

2 videos? One is already exciting enough! Thanks Dag!

These videos make my day. You have a great talent and the way you present the videos makes me feel like I am right there with you. Thank you.

Not sure if intentional, but I really enjoyed the hybrid of voiced narration and text narration. I felt there was a happy balance between them.

I agree and no music always great videos..

Seems to run great, and the engine looks terrific. With that much work already into it, I think you should go ahead with a full resto.

These model is quite common here in the us Definitely hoping for a full on restoration of this Tractor seems how you were able to get the engine running

Get it running? I'd say restored perfectly to factory design specs. Amazing! Flawless! Keep going!

I have this same engine on a 1993 craftsman mower and I love it . Installed a new carb and coil last year and it runs like new . You somehow have turned a boat anchor into a work of art . Good work , love your videos

I love these engine rebuilds...my Briggs 11hp will never die...

At the risk of backseating, I'd like to suggest something like an impact screwdriver for stuck screws and bolts. The kind that you hit with a hammer and it turns upon hit. Would save some time and effort procuring new spares.

Enjoyable ! Nice watching someone who has the know-how and tools to make the right repairs ... thanks for this

I love the 2 video drop. One I can run in the background while working, and one for my weekend with your narration.

Usually I don’t watch videos this long but you keep doing stuff and making it more interesting. Good job man👍

Great video! Please show the deck restoration and the mowers panels. This is fun to watch and very instructional! Thank you

Great job! I really enjoyed this engine rebuild. That is practically a brand new engine now. I have 7 wheelhorse tractors that I have restored and all of mine have Kohler engines, so it was nice to see a B&S engine rebuild.

I have two with a onan engine and a kawasaki

I probably would have had that muffler a couple months ago. I'll look around I may have another. Great job excellent detail!!! Masterful in action. Later...

Absolutely exceptional work. Very good demonstration of the value of cylinder leakdown testing as a diagnostic tool. Excellent attention to detail; no corner cutting; proper use of tools. Everything very well done in this well produced video. I'm glad you could save that old Briggs and Stratton engine. With care it will last a very long time. If I had the right muffler, I'd send it to you right away. Sorry I dont have it. That beautifully rebuilt engine deserves a nice piece of equipment to power. Hope you restore the old Wheelhorse. Regards and emphatic thumbs up from the USA.

I hope you consider restoring the entire mower one day, just something about this style mower I love

Its so cheeky of you to hide youre face like that !😂😂

When you will restore the rest of the mower it will look so nice! good work Dag.

Nice job! Enjoyed the start to finish steps. Would love to see the deck and and mower frame restored. Thanks for the video!

There is something really inspiring watching a bloke is his shed (IN HIS NATURAL HABITAT ) working and rebuilding a ride on lawn mower. It brings back fond memories of my Dad teaching me how things work when I was a kid. I have a ride on barn find that I am so looking forward restoring, unfortunately I am a shed orphan at the moment, but not for much longer.... I have a plan. 💸💲💲💡

Always great videos love it how you balance text, voice and no music.. more I watch the more I learn from you.. Hope you finish restoring this..

Daggerwin I have been watching you for over 3 years and y have learnt me so much thank you so much for the great vids

So much better when you talk and explain what your doing... Love this. I'm a fan now.

Nice job. The detail of the different aspects of this rebuild are excellent.

Man, Dagger, if I lived in the U.K. I would definitely have you rebuild my engine. You do such an amazing job. Love all of these vids

As a teenager I had a craftsman mower like this that I got and rebuild ended up have a rod come loose never could get the fly wheel off to take it any farther apart. I have learned soo much watching these videos.

I cant imagine the work that went into these two videos, I really like the one AMSR one talking approach. Especially so when they cover some slightly different ground as is the case here. There’s an art restorer called Julian Baumgartner in Chicago and he does the same with all his videos and I always watch both. Congratulations on the 200k, I’ve only just noticed. It’s much deserved, in fact as one of the most educational channels you’re undersubscribed.

Love watching your process of restoring these. I try to take some tips for my classic car restoration project.

Over two hours of Machinery Restorer today! And it's not even my birthday!

my 1990 Toro Wheel Horse 520H is still running strong! It has a 20hp Onan engine and hydrostatic drive, 52" tripple blade deck. I hang a 48" duel stage snow blower on it in the Idaho winters, and it mows a 3/4 acre lawn all summer! this little unit is definately worth resurrection.

Those opposed twins from BS are probably my favourite small engine...Silky smooth and quiet. thanks for the video.

Great job on the rebuild and video. Thanks for sharing brother.

My late dad had the garden tractor version of this Wheel Horse which was manufactured just before Toro retired the famous Wheel Horse name forever. Same dash, same controls, same sound, just bigger. We mowed a State of Maine lawn and large field with it for years without complaint. And it was extremely reliable. Alas, it could not match the quality, smooth performance, and power of Dad's previous 1980's Troy-Bilt tractor. But he could no longer reliably get parts after the original Vermont-based Troy-Bilt went belly up. A sad ending to a great company.

Putting that pretty engine on the rest of the tractor is like sprinkling glitter on a turd. 😁 Now you gotta restore it.

A masterpiece of restoration, well done that man.

This is amazing. My friend is getting into the business of restoring lawn tractors. A lot of work but looks fun.

I'm really glad I found your channel; no music, cussing, nonsense etc, and I'm always learning. *God bless.* Btw; I don't know about everyone else, but next to seeing these worn out engines come back to life and fire for the 1st time, I could just sit and watch carbon/paint being blown off by the sandblaster.

Great Job, I really like the Briggs 2 cylinder models It is such a smooth engine when under load. I have an old Snapper LT16 That is fun to work! Look forward to the next one!

Amazing work. Loved every minute of the video. You have exceptional talent my friend. I have been binge watching your farm sim videos and just stumbled accross this channel. Both these channels are brilliant. Keep up the good work pal. Cheers.

The problem with this guy's videos is that they make me want to do this now. Need some special tools though. Definitely don't have a valve spring compressor for small engines, and a piston ring compressor for small engines (mine are for diesel engines) and I lost my valve lapping tool someplace since I retired. I think I'm going to play with this now. So glad I found this channel. It's definitely inspired me to play around with something new. 😎

Excellent, just found your videos. I'm completely ignorant with machines, so I found this fascinating, thank you.

I got the exact same oppie on my simplicity and muffler, love these old oppies, plus have a few of them ready for swap if needed, thx's for this outstanding video! 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

The Red Neck Amazing work looks like new and ready for 40 more years - now we wait for you to restore the rest of the mower

New to the channel and enjoy it very much. Just finished watching the Kubota B2100 rebuild. Well done! Boca Raton, Florida

I was surprised to see a Wheel Horse. I'm unsure of their history but in 1958 my dad bought an RJ58 Wheel Horse for our rural Pittsburgh homestead. It had the single cylinder Kohler engine, 3 speed transmission. We used the heck out of that and it performed like a champ. Sold it to a neighbor in 73 when my mom had to sell the homestead after my dad passed away. Don't know its fate. There are numerous pictures of Wheel Horse tractors and collectors on Pinterest. I've saved many in a file. Brings back good memories of the breed. Ours had the larger rear wheels though over the years of their production they obviously changed with later generations. Yours was the only one of that style and design I've seen. Hoping you will do a later video of a full restoration of it! Nice motor rebuild!

Two videos? Epic!

I learn alot from these videos , keep them coming.

Another great video! If I can make one suggestion? For those parts you need to spray on both sides hang them from thin wire strung between a frame. Keep up the great work 👍👍

can’t wait to see the rest of the mower be restored!

Great job man! I really enjoy the 1hr videos I wish more creators did that

Oh and I am following through with this because of watching and learning from you so I owe you a thank you. 😊

Thanks for posting all of it lol I just got done with my 1993 Murray with the same motor , the motor is great but not going to do much with the body or deck , my grandkids love riding it on our trails it also sets high up , I bought it for 60 bucks and I had to and put 140 back in fixing it up ,, I have a small shop nothing like yours but I enjoy doing this and learning more all the time , just got done with two cub cadets and traded them for a older yamaha timber wolf 1995 , I got it running good but will have to replace tires for sure , but thanks for the detailed post

Excellent presentation and restoration. I’ve encountered that muffler before. Didn’t rattle that bad yet but when it does I’ll drill two holes for two screws then with a size smaller drill. I’ll drill into the internal baffle that’s rattling. Then put two sheet metal screws thru the outside holes and catch the baffle holes with the threads on the screws and tighten till the baffle is silent.

looks like a brand new engine ,that cool how you work on it and make it look and sound like a new engine

anything restored is like 100% better than what comes out today

all ways a pleasure to see your videos ;)

Good old Stratton engine's easy to work on and repair. What a fantastic video 📹

As soon as you said B&S engine I knew it'd run, they're built to last Fantastic video, I love the voice over videos

Nice those old wheel horses never die haha I just resurrected my old cub cadet with opposed twin Briggs

Awsome job! Both restauration and making the video!

It's the same build. One is just the shorter version of the video.

you might not believe this but i have that exact engine on a 1984 huskee 4 speed tractor and i haven't seen anything close to it online until now. perty much identical accept yours is 2 years older with 2 less HP. if your interested in some pictures let me know. its quite amazing how i had to do similar things to mine as yours. i took in on its first ride about a week ago with success. thanks for the video!

Darn you KZread for waiting 2 days to notify me of this video. Great work as always!

Been a fan of your Farm sim videos for many years love the restorations as well!! Cheers!!

Please do a full restoration! Please! We would love to see it!!

Love to see it restored

Good job pal thanks for sharing 😊👍

Nice engine rebuild! Now you need to do the actual lawn mower chassis the same way and post that video as well. Thumbs Up! Been there and done the exact same things to an older lawn mower.

I've been watching this channel for sometime now and a channel called Daggerwin for even longer. Just realized it's the same guy. Amazing!

Before I saw this video, I watched the separate rebuild video and had commented that I would have re-cut one of the valve seats to get a better matting between the one new valve and the valve seat. Lapping showed one seat had likely double optimum mating - something usually corrected by re-cutting the top and bottom seat angles. I think that explains the less-than-optimum but acceptable reading on cylinder #1.

Really enjoyed this video. I learnt loads.

That turned out beautifully!

These rebuild videos are fantastic :)

Great engine rebuild and restore. Seems like a very large engine for such a small yard tractor... But, it is what it is.

Great vid, good to see it roar into life, as for the pipe just Cut it open, rip out the mesh and just replace it with silencer wadding, weld it shut 👌

I do not own a farm or any land but after your videos I always have an urge to go and buy an old ride on mower :)

Great video, congratulations on 200k subscribers!!!

That's quite the crank for a lawn mower engine.

Nice job. Clean work 👍

Nice job restoring dagerwin

Great detail, great video!

Thank you for saving the mower and that sweet opposed twin briggs and stratton engine toro wheel horse mower,s of that age are classic mowers

Excellent work, really enjoyed watching it

Excellent video and rebuilt motor went 👌 also super nice also hope hear running when get newer muffler for it! Surprise me made 2 cylinder motor 16 hp Briggs and Stratton to that wild for sure!

nice job!! thanks for sharing ! !

Powder coated finishes are beautiful

Cool tractor 🙂 i had one of those engine on my mud mower , was a good engine until a valve seat came off . 80psi on one side and 0 psi on the other one . It was cheaper swapping for another engine haha i got a 22 v twins briggs instead. Perfert for my application . Nice video btw 🙂

My Grandfather had one just like that. Other than the Brigs engine what was nice about the design. Is the front wheels are set back under the frame. So you can make really tight turns.

Wow just wow, amazing rebuild!

Wow that looks like a very robust little engine , Great video
