Magneto magnet charger hit miss engine.
Here is a magneto magnet charger I built, wound my own coils.
Using 1-1/8 round bar steel, number 12 solid jacket wire 5 turns.

I used my variable belt drive lathe to wind the coils. Electrical tape

I bought this originally as a parts motor along with an igniter parts motor. Was missing a number of parts along with the WICO EK magneto, replaced missing parts with what I had and bought a mag online. Decided to put everything together first and then run to see operation. I did replace the rod bearing. Cleaned and rebuilt mixer, new suction tube and Needell valve. Fabricated a throttle rod, A...

Almost there, lining up the rails and leveling everything. Once that is done will set automatic timing. And other small things to do. The switcher is running on battery, no track power on turntable. Switcher will run on track or battery, using Railpro wireless control.

Chicago and Northwestern bridge Fox river Carpentersville IL
Переглядів 8255 років тому
This is the old Chicago and Northwestern rail bridge from the late 1800s. Going to the old Illinois Iron and Bolt company in Carpentersville IL. The line is abandoned and this is part of the trail, but in sad shape you can see, lack of funds and maintenance. The Fox river is taking its toll with winter ice and spring thaw ice. You can still make it to the other side at your own risk, have not b...

Gib key removal from engine crankshaft.
Nice work on this old gal ..keep er running
I had one in the desert of NM. sand on the flat wound spring of the jack shaft broke every time.
Now that is freaking so cool man good job very nice project
Looks like my home place which was also a dairy farm .. My brother's filled the barns with junk . It's good that you intend to restore some trucks and tractors but would be more impressive to show what u have actually done instead of saying you are going to do it .
Cool!
Looks like your tires are wider did you get different rims offset just picked one of these up the Wisconsin still seems to be running good no smoke.
I actually crossed this fucker one day w my uncles back in the 90 s and we’d go to Lincolnwood
Hi mate just wandering how did you do the middle part up topfor power or are those 2 wires fake ?
You need to turn the fuel up not down when they keep intaking
Awesome 👍
Thank you so much for posting! I just picked up a rolling chassis.
Good luck with your new project.
Nice!!
That is so cool. I am building a welding trailer and I am converting an electric air compressor to gas and mounting it to the welding trailer to run my arc gouging unit.
Absolutely love how the last part of removing it required an extra hammer 🤣🤣 hammers are amazing man
As a retired Dredge mechanic I have a very impressive collection of persuaders.
My father bought one in the summer of 1970 when I was 12 years old. Blew up a couple of the transmissions, but had a ton of fun on it. Still have it, and I have a grandson coming up so....
Hello, I was wondering if you happen to have the other multiple speed sleeve that came off the 4 cylinders Wisconsin. I need it and I be willing to pay for The shipping. Thank you
Was this type of saw sometimes called a buzz saw. Could term be regional?
That must have been fun to ride.
Very nice, I especially like the large chime whistle. Is it a 10 inch or 12 inch diameter ? Marvelous big ship sound
I had the same bike, except for the light kit. Bought it from the orig owner in 1970, right after my friend bought one. That thing could climb anything in low gear. The spring for low gear would break prematurely and my friends dad came up with a fix and wrote Heathkit but they never responded. If I remember correctly it had something to do with adding a washer back near the spring assembly. What an awesome bike, wish I still had it. Don’t ever sell it! Subscribed!!
Got mine Christmas of 1970. Base was $199 & lights, horn & ya had to buy a motorcycle battery because the Briggs 5 horse didn't have an electrical connection like the Hilltopper did with the Tecumseh 5 horse. Man that's 51 years ago..
Can you tell me how you split the rear sheeves to disassemble as to then remove the motor from the 610? I can not get mine apart.
What size tires did that motor grader have
This video has very well inspired me to do my skid steer project similarly to yours right here. Thanks for sharing this
There are some other good videos to see, one used a brigs with the pump direct drive off the flywheel side, good luck. Thanks.
good tool but i think it will not be suitable to 10 hp and 12 hp engines because the flywheel space doesn't permit putting this tool i have a nother tool you can see it here ua-cam.com/channels/AnP8Ec76QGOR0IJeGjR7BQ.html
What is that under the building in the water? I was trying to figure it out.
Thanks for sharing, I had one back when I was a kid, the fastest around, it would outrun any of my friend's mini bikes.
I have 3
So very cool part of my childhood, my dad bought this for me in 1972 and we had the ski which was super in the winter. The 2 speed jack shaft was always a problem so I made it direct drive. Thanks for sharing this awesome bike!!!! Keep it going.
13 years.....
Nice 👍
I have the same tractor I was wondering what you did to free your steering mechanism - stuck also
Nice Job. Sounds great 👍
My dad worked at Heath Co in the twin cities Benton Harbor, St Joseph MI. My brother got one for Christmas. It came with a front ski too. My sister and I hooked up a saucer and off we went. My brother hit a dry patch of grass and I flew off and landed on my head! Lol!! Then one summer I took it for a ride in our driveway and later I was going to park in the garage but couldn't shut it off and it climbed the wall my feet were on the floor but I was still hanging on to the handle and screaming, my brother came out and rescued me! LOL!!
Great story, I had a few hair raising times myself, young and pushing the limits. I built many kits from there took a lot of trips to the plant, loved the area. When did your Dad work there.
@@farmerphil He worked at the first plant in Benton Harbor in 1957, then moved to St.Joseph plant. Retired in the 90's, he has now passed a few years ago. He was an electrical engineer then later years he worked in the regulatory compliance department.
@@littlelomichigan9213 Always like to hear about former employees, Sorry for your loss. Phil.
nice.
Nicely done
Hey Phil did you ever reinstall that Wisconsin engine in the Bobcat? We haven't spoken in a while. I've repowered two machines since you last helped me with my 444 repower. Hope all is well - gc.
@@livetoridemyxlh Logged in, nice site.
Where did u find the manifold, having a hard time finding a 1 piece manifold for mine
I had one. The problem with the jackshaft was you could only change speeds while stopped. That was no fun. I blew out two of them
I have one similar but it doesn’t have the blade guards. When I restore it I will make something similar to yours. Nice saw and tractor.
There's something to be said about having the right tool for the job!
How come you don't post a picture of yourself back in the day riding or standing next to your Minibike. We could compare and see if you have changed much. :) My best friend had this Boonie in Kansas growing up back in the early 70's. It was a mail order out of Popular Mechanics. I think the kit was about $179.00 back in 1971 which is equal to about $1100.00 today. So you see, they get a much better bang for your buck today than we did as kids back then.
Well I will see if I can add a photo, have from when new.
How fast is high speed on this mini bike ??? Nice old machine too.
Around 25 to 30 MPH tops in stock configuration. Some modified ones will do better with veritable speed trans.
👍
We have a boonie bike and it was broken and now only a single speed do u think that u could make a video of how the 2 speed clutch works
Go to Facebook Heathkit boonie bike. I have the manual posted there.
That is one dangerous tool in the wrong hands. Watch out for your kneecap!
I'm 12 and my dad had a heathkit, he kept it and the original engine was completely ruined(sat in barn for years) and I threw it out, unfixable sadly. I now have a 4.5 horse subaru engine and I have to buy a clutch and sprocket, it's pretty cool to see them worth something. I'm going to restore it to the best if my ability. Cool stuff
i have a 1968 m600, these machines just dont die
when it was still melroe....
I have a 1998.
i love your picture thanks to share !
Thank You
