Lawnboy used to be the King but STUPID TORO bought Lawnboy and destroyed brand. You now have a mower which will last INDEFINITELY with preventive maintenance and Amsoil 10w30 Small Engine - I get ZERO from Amsoil. Not fair right?

      I actually have an Oregon blade balancer and it does look similar to one of those but is way too big (blade balancer is only about 2" tall). I looked into it a little more with a google image search and closest I could find was an "Oregon Wood Grenade". Pretty awesome name, but this one isn't branded that.. maybe it's from before they came up with that name since it's patent pending

    Very well done. I will have to get a screwdriver without flanges to take the main jet out and a few wires to clean out the emulsion tube. Should be able to take out the idle screw with regular Phillips. Will carefully watch the sequence of the gaskets. One question someone hit a small stump and bent one end of the blade. I’ve bought a new one but how do you check if the crankshaft is okay. Thank you very much for your video as it is a big help!!

    • @BackyardRepairs
      @BackyardRepairs 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      thanks for commenting! There's a couple ways to check for a bad crank, but if you have a brand new (straight) blade I think I would just install it and spin the blade around with a marked reference point on the deck. If the two blade ends land on the same reference spot when rotating you should be ok. You'll want to make sure your spark plug boot is unplugged while you do this for safety tho.

  • @JoshuaAndMom
    @JoshuaAndMom 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The fact that this mower is made in China, indicate that the mower could go bad in their time. You have to also be careful what you buy nowadays because eventually, if it says made in China, then chances right it’s not going to last anywhere close to 5 or 10 years at a maximum, meaning that it could permanently quit working in no time. Plus, there’s a lot of things to even go wrong with any China pride mower. So that’s the concept of you get what you pay for. Since 2015, I even avoided dime-store lawn equipment for that matter. And Toro and Honda are the last quality brands to buy though they can be pricey.

    I recently picked up a 2021 model Toro out of the trash. I doesn't appear to have many hours on it, but I guess someone ran over it or something. The front right wheel and dust guard is missing, and the height selector is damaged. The rear right wheel and attachment plate are also damaged, and the bail was missing. The deck doesn't appear to be damaged at all. It's weird. Other than those issues, it is in really good condition. I got it running and the self propel works, so I am debating about whether I want to fix it or not. I have a Craftsman mower that needs an engine, so I can't really make up my mind. The mower brings enough money that I could fix it and still make a little bit on it, or keep it for myself. It's a tough decision.

    • @BackyardRepairs
      @BackyardRepairs 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Not sure about your area, but I think a Toro would sell better than a Craftsman around me. But that would be the 22” Toros with personal pace, the MTD build like this would be a toss up. My 2 cents.. I will usually decide to fix a piece of equipment if the parts are no more than 3/4 of what I could potentially sell it for. That or if I like it and want to keep it to use for a while lol, but I’ve been bit by that mentality before tho. I just like to keep original equipment together if I can help it and it makes sense

    Thanks for scraping the underside out. It was really bothering me. I recently got a really nice mower out of the trash that appeared to have a locked up engine. The only thing wrong with it was a ton of grass buildup on the underside of the deck. It was so thick that it was preventing the blade from turning. I cleaned it and it started right up. That was easy money. I am a firm believer in scraping them out now.

    I love saving old machines, but this is one I probably wouldn't have messed with. The margins on edgers are too small to mess with one that is missing parts and has multiple issues. I don't mess with them if they need more than a fuel line or a carb clean, unless I have a parts machine. I am very picky about what I sell. I only sell machines that are 100% complete and functional.

    You can just stick a screwdriver or a pick in one of the holes on the recoil once you wind it up. It will hold it in place for you while you tie your knot.

    You haven't worked on many of these small Homlites, have you ? You were doing almost everything the hard way --- I worked in a saw shop in the 1990's and did hundreds and hundreds of small Homlites, Poulan, Craftsman, McCulloch saws (the cheapo homeowner type saws) ---- also every other kind of saw --- Stihl, Husky, Echo, Jonserends, etc, etc ---- You just love pulling the starting rope, don't you ? Properly adjusted carbs start pretty easily and don't take All Day to service up and move to another saw ---- you eventually learn to fix them quickly -- :)
