In this video I restore a vintage JC Higgins camp stove, model 710.74301. This is a unique stove, made about 1960, and with a different paint scheme that earlier and more common Higgins stoves made by American Gas Machines. The video includes a bit of history, disassembly, restoration techniques, reassembly, and theory of operation.
