  My father owned a couple of service stations. Never gloves guy in the solvent tank. When lymphoma was discovered during a routine colonoscopy a couple of years after he retired, his oncologist (want to avoid knowing an oncologist professionally) knew immediately what type, based on his profession (and testing obviously). Most of her patients are farm workers, mechanics and most of all transmission guys. Had a chemo cocktail all ready to go that was proven very effective on this type. He's thankfully and luckily still with us on oral meds since a relapse after 15 year remission I really enjoy this channel and all that you do. Please wear your f-ing gloves so we can all enjoy many more years of your excellent content.

  These are such beautiful engines. My brother has a diesel engine that was used in the Multicar M21. It is basically the same design, but now has a completely covered crankshaft, timing belts and valves. Lubrication is now pressure controlled with oil filling in the crankcase. The intake valve is also cam controlled. It is based on the previous Deutz engine, which still has exposed valves. 6.5 hp/1500 rpm. The pressure chamber makes a metallic knocking sound during combustion, which sounds like there is a hammer inside 🙂

  Another excellent video, and thanks a lot. Every refurb is another piece of history reclaimed. Future generations will be (or should be) so thankful for your work. I&apos;m into old sewing machines and radios, and I get great satisfaction seeing (and hearing) them perform again as they should.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo_H2C0XFW0&amp;t=823">13:43</a> Heh. When you clanged the wrench against the flywheel, the closed captions said &apos;[Music]&apos;. And about half the time when you thumped something, it&apos;d say &apos;Foreign&apos;.
