Incredible Vintage Wisconsin Engine - Will It Run?

In "Scruffy Won't Take Closed For An Answer", Taryl obtains this vintage Wisconsin engine from Elk Skins and sees if he can get it running. Parts are hard to come by so he'll try his best to get this old reliable engine running off what little he has. Can he make it work? Taryl IS the MacGyver of small engines, but sometimes even MacGyver faces some pretty tough challenges that he may or may not be able to overcome... Tune in for that!

Prior to and after the attempt, Taryl has to exit the shop to aid Junior who's broke down on a pick-up before local yokel Scruffy comes by in a hurry. He sure gets angry and decides to take it out on a customer's mower when he thinks that Taryl's not opening the door for him. See how it all plays out in this hilarious yet educational how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage. Another classic that's bound to make you smile and knowledge that will stick with you forever. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

You won't find a better teacher anywhere. Thanks Tarl!

Just found this 2 years later and I'm glad I had an hour to watch Taryl bring this boat anchor back to life! Keep this kind of content coming. We need more people willing to spend time on these engines instead of scrapping them at the first sign of a problem.

This channel really does deserve an Emmy award. This is the best diy, "program", on the, "airwaves". All due respect to Musti1 who does his videos sans a cameraman and certainly is a contender. In my opinion the videography gives Taryl and the grassrats crew the edge . Acting, characters and skits aside.

Loved how the 1974 Power King tractor got up and running due to this gentleman. He's more than good! He knows his stuff.

Just started watching your videos the other day. Seems like I have learnt a crap load of stuff in just a couple days. You are a MASTER Mechanic! I bow to you.

[dougthornton]

The "King of small Engines"... Better yet, Taryl gets me laughing, which at this point in time is worth more than money !! Thanx Taryl !!!!

[matttravers]

Love the fix it videos on vintage engines👍
Keep it up guys 👍

[bradrolling]

These skits are getting better, video to video ! And I like the idea of the grass rats doing revivals!
They definitely aren't trained actors and that's what makes it even better, imo.

Hey Taryl, Just wanted to thank you for a suggestion you gave regarding cleaning up valve seats using emery cloth and the valve to mimic the angle of the seat, to clean them up. It worked like a charm. Working on a Wisconsin ABS engine, virtually zero compression. Thanks to your recommendation, it has compression now!!!! Thanks you Sir!! Your videos are awesome by the way!! 👍🏻👍🏻

"Start it on the table Taryl...we want to see bad things happen!" Had me in stitches. You crack me up man. Sound like me working by myself in the shop through out the day!

[rwdog]

Nice, those old Wisconsin’s are tough as nails. Great old engines….

[morriewyatt]

It's amazing just how popular that combination of tattoos is. Every third or fourth guy on your show seems to have them.

[wilmarbarrick]

If Taryl works on it, of course it will run.

[B.Cote]

Truly awesome, DIY WITH STORY AND A GOOD LAUGH!! THANKS GUYS !!

I can't sufficiently express my gratitude for all your efforts to share your knowledge and experience with us, and do so in such an entertaining way. I have taken to watching everything and anything you create, even if I have no direct interest in the subject simply because I so enjoy your antics. I recently took to restoring lawn tractors as a hobby, just one at a time and selling them cheap, then starting over. Your programs have proven invaluable to these efforts. Please take yourself to a local purveyor of libations and treat yourself to a "cold beverage" on me. I actually won't be paying for it, but know that my heart is in the right place (even if my wallet isn't).
