As a hobby, I’m a tractor flipper. I mostly work on lawn tractors, but I’ve started working on quads. I'm a Christian, and I try to be a good example of Jesus in everything I do- even my hobby. You won't hear foul language on my channel, or inappropriate jokes, and I won't advertise adult products. I want this channel to be something the whole family can enjoy.
I’m working to grow my channel and produce full length edited content related to small engine repair and resale. I hope you’ll consider subscribing to my channel!
I also started a new channel for all my edited content related to my 60 acres in the Adirondacks of New York. Please subscribe to ‘Kyle by the Lake’ if you like cabins, camping, building, and outdoor power sports!
Thanks,
Kyle

That old fire stove down by the creek makes me chuckle! Did you put that there, or was that your grandads?😂
I wish I had 10% of your work ethic, Kyle.
That’s very kind of you!
Best spray cleaner for non greasy dirt - 409 Multi surface.
Great video Kyle those winters of yours are too harsh for a guy like me in Arizona but your camera work and videos are really great !
Thank you! We’re hoping for much more snow. We haven’t gotten much over the last several years
I love your content, Kyle. Please keep it coming.
Thank you!
Needs high gloss paint that satin looks sad.
Haha. I see what you mean. Satin finish just doesn’t pop does it?
They didn't use the soy that they use now back then. Thays what attracts the mice chewing
I watched a video about my cub cadet I just purchased.... 9 videos later....😂😂😂 thanks buddy. New subscriber
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you found my channel
Try a heat gun or a small torch on the black plastic trim on the tractor. It'll make em look better.
14:39 maybe your using your magic powers!
It's got a Kindasucki rather than a Breaks & Scrap'em on it
Do you know you just take the boat and put a couple nuts
Sorry. What are you referring to?
Yes Kyle I work Year round as I live in Georgia & I'm also Retired now
Congrats on retirement! Enjoy your warmer winters!
Very good job. On the carburetor, if you drill out the main jets, that really helps. I checked out the jets in a 22 horsepower Briggs started out at about .044, went to .050 sure made a good difference.
Good tip. I’ve never done that before. I’d have to experiment with that. But I bet it would fix the slight surge it has
@Kylebythecreek Yes, it probably would. It sure runs much smoother and stronger. It pulls strong in tall or thick grass. I strongly suggest you get a dial calipers to measure where your at to start. On 1 cylinder go smaller say no more than 3 to 4 thousandths
@ thank you
Your paint jobs would look so much better if you actually sprayed like the directions say… light sweeping strokes in a uniform area vs your hammer down circles method. 🫤
I know it drives people crazy. It’s just a lawn mower. I’ve never had a customer complain that my paint job didn’t look like I read the directions
Makes sense, 1/2 ass is like everything else & sell it to the next sucker.
Most flippers don’t paint it at all. I could have sold it as is- which is how I bought it. I’m not sure why people confuse my channel for one of those that does full restorations. I say it everytime, I’m a tractor flipper.
You don’t get it! You boast that you “only” paid $120 for the machine, your wanting to sell it for $1000, 10x? You have basically nothing in it, you don’t pay income tax on your profits, do you have business/liability insurance? Do you have a business license? No… so the least you could do is sell something a good product! Worry less about the paint & buy a new carburetor so they don’t have a problem a month after purchase. You are worried about the price of an air filter, but not 4 cans of Walmart paint 😒.
How much do you think the tractor is worth as it stands?
Your vids would be a lot more enjoyable if your shed wasn't such a pig sty. Also, the dog is annoying.
Black been go
?
in florida
Kyle, Seymour go red engine paint is kind of a dark red. It sprays good and even leaves a glosss finish. It’s cheap online too
Interesting. I’ve never seen that brand in the shelves anywhere. I just googled it though
Need a diesel heater in the shed
Yeah I’d like one
how much you want for the white and where ru located
We can talk on email: Kylebythecreek@gmail.com
If you swap the vice workbench with the paint can shelving you’ll get more natural light into the shop. Just a thought. While you’re at it, move the light switch over by the door. 😉
You’re familiar with Starrett measurement tools? Claret wine is pronounced the same way.
can't believe you did all that in the cold.
Got to do it!
Looks like you got a very good deal. I'm glad you got everything working good. What a difference. I would've painted that thing a gloss paint job, just because I like Shiny Stuff.
I prefer the semigloss too. I mentioned that in the video. But the store didn’t have any glossy paint that matched. So, I thought it was better to match the color as best as I could than to match the finish (gloss)
Awesome job on the tractor. It came out looking great. I always enjoy watching your videos, you do a good job and are very informative.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Thumbs Up! You do a great job working in such a cramped space! So what is the size of your workshop, 12 x 16?
Thanks! I thinks it’s 10x15
Black Phillip, I conjure thee to speak to me. Speak as thou dost speak to Jonas and Mercy. Dost thou understand my English tongue? Answer me
These comments get more and more interesting
@@Kylebythecreek 😂 Sounds like you’re starting to attract the wacko crowd. 😉😂
THAT WAS A GOOD USE OF A MASK. YOU FINALLY LISTENED TO ME. PLEASE USE MORE PPE. YOUR SAFTEY IS WHAT MATTERS. ALSO YOU SHOULD HAVE USED A RUST PROOF BONDING AGENT BEFORE PRIMING. WHY DIDNT YOU USE A PAINTING HOOD? ITS IMPORTANT
54" just goes to show you that size does matter. Suck it Cathy
$125? You could try saying no. Boundaries are important
I think you forgot the washer on the fender. Can you go back and fix it?
You should have just gotten a bigger trailer
You did fine
Looks great the only thing that might be a slight downfall is going to be the hood. Good job as always
Thanks! I don’t think the hood will be a deal breaker for anyone
Over full or two stroke gas mix
I own the identical tractor. I’ve had it since new in 2001. You will be hard pressed to find a better machine today. It’s a keeper, with a property like yours. As far as matching MTD paint, you can download the official MTD color chart. Just google MTD-Color-Chart and download the PDF.
It is a keeper I think but if you need the money then sale it, it should last at least bring 1K
I’ll probably mow my lawn with it once and then sell it. Thanks for watching!
Put a tad of B12 or sea foam in tank😊
TSC has a lot better batteries than Walmart for only a few bucks more and they last several years not just 3/6 months 😮
I went to TSC first, but they only had 250cca batteries in stock. Personally, I haven’t noticed a difference between TSC and Walmart batteries. Certainly TSC is more expensive, but have you noticed them being that much better?
@ I’ve had hell with the Walmart batteries in my area and I usually buy 30 or more every summer
I’ve been cutting a flat washer and fixing the broken one on steering, it works great 👍
Instead of replacing the tie rod?
Is that Cub Cadet you have, a 1050? If so, when are you going to work on it? Great video 👍
It’s got a cracked block (Kohler courage). I’m trying to source a good block for it
As always a great revival. CLARAYYYY WINE haha. I did get a chuckle from the fancy name. Looks and operates great. A struggle for sure in your climate to make them shine when you can’t even use a garden hose. I greatly appreciate the shout out, and yes some carbs just don’t work out. I tried my best, but like you said it’s great to keep them on hand for future projects. Hope you and your family have a great holiday buddy. 😎😎🫡
Thanks Alex. All the best to you and your growing family!
@ thank you !!
I always loved White Outdoor and Yard-Man mowers! They both have a lot in common. Also you did an awesome job on this mower wow!! 👍
Thanks so much!
Love your channel Kyle. I am retired and started flipping mowers to keep me busy when I get bored. Your content is always good and informative. Hope you have continued success in 2025!
Thanks for tuning in!
The white gt tractor is a one off brand of tractor I've never seen till your video on this one Kyle
Built by MTD.
@Rein_Ciarfella yes it is I've seen the smaller ones from back in the day
I have several of them in my area and they are pretty good equipment, they are getting pretty old but they still want them fixed up 😊
Yeah, it seems pretty well made. Nothing crazy, but certainly better than most home owner stuff
@Kylebythecreek you got that right I've seen a home owner grade of it back in the day
What is with the rust on the left front wheel? Otherwise excellent work Kyle. She will serve someone well. That is all one can ask. This mower is worth maybe 2500 at least
It’s just brown colored dust that is stuck to the grease I didn’t clean off all the way.
I think I like the wine color on decks more than red or orange. Yes yes I know super magenta wine stain whatever.
Thanks!
We already know this is gonna be a good one when the mower is too big for the the trailer
I was definitely surprised when I went to pick it up initially. I thought it was a typical 42” deck, but nope!
Good morning!!
Good morning! I hope you are having a good day.
