The 2-string trimmers are a little different.....obviously.

Nice work on the VW. As with almost all modern car you need to remove many, many functioning parts to get to the one that is to be replaced. Find that very frustrating. Look forward to seeing the rest of the re-assembly. Be safe and stay well.

I've been in that position before, taking things apart in the wrong direction. That pump comes out after removing the intake. Some can slip the old cog belt back onto the pump, not me. The real bugger is that you're supposed to replace the fuel injector seals any time the injector is removed, I've got a video doing such a thing on that engine, "installing fuel injector seals..."

Yes, Ford engineered the console lid to fail prematurely at the latch by molding in inadequate plastic retainers for the screws that sandwich the inner liner to the outer console lid. Realizing their mistake, they compensated by creating a convenient catch tray immediately below the work area in the rear of the console compartment to safely place the 9 small parts that will be removed to make this repair. Good old Ford: Always looking out for the customer and the service technician. NOT! I'll check the local U-pull lot, but I expect that I will end up engineering my own improved latch from velcro, magnets or some sort of stretch cord and hook...

That looks like way too much fun. At least the new part isn't plastic. Camping is more fun.

Way more brave and willing then me. The axel i could deal with but the w.p not so much. Lol. Hope all is well.

ShopKat, Nein Nein VW ....VW ist Kaput !!!!!!

ShopKat, you got a nice shop ,we have one thing in common. I have things and pictures stuck all around my shop . Cant help it ...makes the ol shops feel like home 😊

I have been in the auto parts business for over 35 yrs. When someone calls looking for parts for a VW made after 1995 I cringe... Especially when it comes to brakes! I start asking questions and people get upset--don't blame me I didn't build it and I didn't buy it!!!😆

By now I hope that you have gotten the Tiggy (as the VW owners call them) out of the garage...Successfully. My mini-rant, GREATLY cut down for the sake of sanity and blood pressure: As the family's primary “caregiver” for a VW, a BMW (with the General Motors transmission which was made in France) 2 Fords, 1 Chrysler, 2 GMs and a Madza… I feel blessed. Ha! I lie like a cheap rug! All modern vehicles are crap to work on. I mean come on.. Who puts a starter under the intake manifold? Some North American and Euro cars have that engineering “feature”. Hell will have a place for engineers where they will be forced to work on the crap they created. Get a Model T or a Model A! Rant over.. Gee. I feel better now. ;) Whiskey. I need whiskey. Or valium. Or both, maybe? Nah.

That was painful... engineers should always have adult supervision. Cheers

Freinds don't let freinds buy a modern VW...plastic waterpump!... Friends advise friends they cut their loses and sell or trade in for something better... Anytime a driveaxle boot is cut and allows water to get in for a length of time its just better to replace with new or reman... noise or not...best way to check the shafts is to drive it and check for noise in turns...just spinning it back and forth can lead to false replacement as they all make some noise or have play once driven.... And adding to all the fines VW has had to pay in the past years they are a far cry from a quality car company... And an endless money pit as they age... Good luck with the repair.

Wow that is a lot of work and don't look like a whole lot of working room. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT. Have fun on that VW

You definitely got a lot of work ahead of you shop Kat

Those are pretty nice and like the lip too . Hope you and Family are doing well ShopKat....Take It Easy

I drew that in permanent marker on the core support along with the firing order on the front core support so I would not loose the paper note. (Not a show vehicle).

Then again my Ford F-150 has a factory rubber floor in lieu of carpet so that makes it easy. Those were simpler times.

When you buy a larger spool of twine, don’t just hang/place it on a shelf in a hot garage, keep it cool in your basement or place it in a bucket of water and retrieve it every time you need twine! While I agree water is not the best solution to this issue, the twine being plastic will now have a liquid barrier that will slow the decay down from the heat and the air that will dry up any oils that are in the plastic.

How do you get a 2010 Jeep Patriot out of Limp Mode? Won't go over 20mph

Pretty snazzy SK!

Ahhh Sherwood Park. I knew that sounded familiar! The WHL team near me had the great Carter Hart as their goalie for years. Thanks for the great video! I think I'll give this a shot and save a bunch of coin.

Yeah dude how about showing us a detailed view directly in front 😂 man you're not good at this. Leave it to the professionals.

As hard as I try I can never get it to automatically feed--but then again it's a hundred times better than when I was a kid and you had to use hand shears!😆

Long time no see.

At the end of the video you mentioned the trans was still tossing codes and had drivability issues. Did you find a solution to those issues? Thanks for making this video!

It's just the 90 because the r stands for loop handle

ShopKat, running behind on this one . Been busier then a Cat in a Rocking Chair Factory .lolololol. Old Lawnmower not doing to bad . Thanks for showing the organizer . Will check one for our vehicle . Hope you and Family are doing well and happy. Take It Easy ShopKat...

A neat addition to the Maverick. Nice work on the old Mastercraft riding mower. It certainly seems to cut grass nicely with new blades. Some sweet looking rides at the end too. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

Great job the seat looks great, certainly beats a push mower, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

"Good to go" about sums it up. Nice job. But man... you sure cut the grass in weird patterns in your part of the country. ;) I bet your Home Owners Assoc. loves you. Hope you don't have those nasty things. I'll never live in a place that has an HOA.

I learned that during ww2, Lionel made ammo belt guides for B-26 bombers.

I hear the Chinese bought the "Long" name like they did "Schwinn". Was that on the plaque?

I feel like the old spiked steel wheels would still work better in these thorny clay hills, near Asheville, than rubber tires, like you still see at dumps. I wanted to weld up a pair for my farm truck but never did, and have now sold that truck, put a plate on the other, and sold most of the farm.

Though when museums and collectors start outbidding operators for old buses and bus parts, that's when they get impractical to run. Junkers have to stay close to scrap value to be cost effective.

Should city bus fleets, and fleets in general, shift their budgets away from replacement and towards repair and maintenance? Like I hear UPS does or once did? and if so, what percentage of a fleet maintenance, repair and replacement budget should go to the first 2? They might want to know in Grafton NH. I think most government fleets err on the side of replacement, aggravated by the onset of green tech like electrics and hybrids, outside of the smoggiest cities, but fleet replacement does make it easy for me to get a surplus moving bus with which to move near Antelope Oregon. But I'm thinking there might be an ideal budget ratio.

Rolls Royce always reminds me of the Rajneesh takeover of Antelope Oregon, who collected them, and as I tend to like a lot of what he did, I wonder if his Rolls Royces were quite as corrupt as they sound, as I think he did share them and use them as carpools, and Most Managua city buses were Mercedes. So is there any such thing as a halfway practical Rolls Royce carpooler? I'm very interested in radical small towns like Antelope Oregon, Colorado City AZ, Ferndale MI, Maywood CA, and especially Grafton NH. Though I think Rolls Royce was not helpful to Antelope.

The kid sounds must be on the video because I don't think my housemate's grandson has arrived yet.

Might you want to test the resistance on the old element before getting the new one?

Ebay sends things like bowl gaskets and primer buttons direct from China for a song, but it takes a month or so. The packages say air freight, but I guess customs takes the time, as much as the faster ships.

I hear the older John Deere tractors are worth more than newer ones because the newer ones are hard to fix the electronics.

Once you've gone to the trouble of taking out the carb, which I usually try to avoid as I've said, it's usually worth cleaning out more than the main jet as there is usually an emulsion tube under it and often an idle jet, which effects full speed mixture if clogged. Once the carb and the little wires are all out and ready, it's usually worth cleaning all 3. I'm not sure I would have used a parts washer, depending on time, but I would have done a bit more cleaning.

With that many parts missing, it looks to me like you will have to start collecting mower junk, and therefore figuring out where to store mower junk.

I would value that aluminum deck, especially for the light weight but also for the rust resistance as I mow lawns with lots of obstacles where light weight helps me maneuver more than self propelled would. Out on the farm I use magnesium deck 2 stroke Lawn Boys and have a classic, 2 horse Buttercup Lawn Boy, but would love an aluminum deck mower in the city where the 2 stroke is loud and smokey. When free parts become available I might try to swap that 5hp out for a 3.5 to save even more weight even at the expense of power, but I hear Briggs is lighter than Tecumseh. But I would consider that light deck worth time or money to try to fit a handle unless aluminum decks are a dime a dozen up there when they aren't around here. I wonder If it would be worthwhile for me to try to bolt a 3.5 Briggs to one of my green Lawn Boy 4, 2 stroke decks for use in the city? Ever try cutting out part of the front skirt on a push mower for use against brush? though I wouldn't waste an aluminum deck on that. Also these filterless and somewhat expendable push mowers are good places to test graphite in oil, in far less quantity than Project Farm.

Nice show. I used 8th inch angle iron in my grill. Works great. Don’t know the metric Conv. If our grass gets that long we get snakes That will make those new blades dull. 😂😂😂🥓🍰

Someone got their monies worth out of those blades. It looked like you got the mower going just in time. You could lose a small child in the grass in the backyard.
