Good try
I know this is years old, but i wonder. That mud in the bottom of the thoussnd year old fuel tank. Will it light if you scraped it into a pile and put a flame to it?
No reason to do this. Just wondering.
Just take the pullies off the shaft & put them on another motor & put the other motor on the tiller body
A light hone and it be as good as new
Planet Junior was a legendary collectible farm tool. Mostly, they were just hand pushed wheel hoes, but they had many many row crop attachments such as seed plate planters, cultivators, sweeps and furrowers. Even the attachments are sought after collectibles. First I've seen a powered tractor model. Thought it was a David Bradlee Walking Tractor on first seeing it. Restored, that tool would probably fetch a pretty good collector's price. Many small farmers now wanting to plant a couple acres of row crops subsistence food and would probably jump on that if it ran good. The narrow width wheels makes it nice for going down between the crop rows. Even repowered with a modern engine, someone would likely want that thing.
Look up Planet Junior and their history and all their attachments. If you see any more parts snap them up!
Very late seeing this video and commenting, but I’d have to say that engine is the worst I’ve personally seen in my daily life or in any other video on YouTube. That tiller looks like it came from the bottom of the ocean off the sunken Titanic 😬
Another engine like that would be hard to find???? Cool machine, needs to be re-engined.
well darn, i was hoping it would come back to life, then again, if every one was a success then the title of can it be saved would mean nothing. You gave it your best on this and is an enjoyable video.
Dang, would have been cool seeing it going. Front attachment for a blade maybe. Fun to see it moving with another motor and a blade as a snow plow.
Frost damage after the head filled with water ?
Wonder how many carburetors you have cleaned in your lifetime?
stick it in the parts washer
Good riddance 😢
