- on my way home I spotted this John Deere 160 on the side of the road with a free sign. lets load it in the truck and see if it can run and if it can be saved on the cheap back to cutting grass again.

“It’s got my price on it”. 🤣 Instant thumbs-up
Hihi
my wife asked me to stop yelling at you to chk the ignition switch. Love your channel young man!
Yeah, that was hilariously funny for sure.
Best regards luck and health.
I know right ?! LMAO !!!!! 😂
Thought exactly the same...
"Some days you win, and some days you win." Classic.
Denis lost in London Some days you just sing the blues!
Watched about 35 episodes so far. A polite thing to do would be to say thank you for doing these videos, they are among the things I weigh as positives in my day, and you provide them for free. Appreciate it.
Likewise, I work alone at a computer terminal all day.
It's like solitary confinement in prison.
It's nice having Mustie1 on in the background, as a substitute for having people around.
lover how you leave in your mistakes and work thru them............and you try to fix everything.....awesome.....especially the switch.........
Here in the UK we are on lockdown due to the virus, I've been watching all the old video's again! Glad it's Sunday as we get a new one. Stay safe everyone.
Hope all goes well....
Boycott communist China!
Cheers
@@MitzvosGolem1 Except some reports suggest it went through parts of North-Eastern, Oregon back in November, one quote I found reading:-
"a couple articles about the Umatilla School district closing down for fumigation around our Thanksgiving holiday, late November. One report claimed something like 61% of students were home sick.
That seems to be where people had loss of smell and taste with the bug though the news stories are not mentioning that. It is this loss of taste and smell that is fascinating since they are now saying that may be an important sign of the new virus. Other illnesses can cause those symptoms but when there are suddenly multiple cases, it is curious. And then the COVID virus isn't spreading in that area but that could be because of low population, lack of air travel, lack of international travel, etc"
There are also persistent reports of it's presence in Lombardy, Italy in late October/early November, so who really knows?
@@cogidubnus1953 Look up "Event 201"
You too Zed. Hope you and your family make it through this craziness.
Zed Tee. Good luck to you all up there. Please learn from the mistakes made in Italia as we go over 10,000 lost souls. God bless.
I love the captions where you laugh at yourself. Good times!
Nice job Mustie. Thanks for the touch of sanity in an insane time.
Totally unrelated, but I found a little trick that worked for me yesterday I thought I would share. You know those rubber O ring type carb bowl gaskets that seem to grow once you remove the bowl? I took one off yesterday, and when I went to reassemble the carb, there was no way this thing would fit. It grew at least 10%. So, I have a refrig in the shop and I put the O ring in the freezer and left it overnight. This morning I took it out and it dropped right in and it fit perfectly! I put the bowl on quickly before it had time to warm up and absolutely no leaks, engine runs perfectly!!
Now that is a legitimate reason to have a fridge in the shop
@@JohnCran Not to mention for the occasional cold one
I've also found leaving them in the sun for 30m or more helps on a hot day
I finally figured this out. This is like the American dream for Most men. The mower breaks and you have to fix it to mow the lawn. You as a man need to fix it replacing it wasn't an option back in the day like today where people spend 1000 on a new phone every other year for no reason. This inspires ME and others to Fix and figure out things on your own. Mustie is a guy who took great intelligence to be a gear head and has done us all a great favor with making these awesome videos!! I wish I had a Tee shirt though.. hint hint.... Dude there are channels with 3000 subs pushing Merch... Do you have any idea how many Coffee mugs you would sell to help support the channel??? EVERY person wakes up Sunday morning makes a coffee and looks for your upload!!! Thoughts??? Start simple Tee shirts and Mugs a tumbler or travel mug. The logo will take some work and creativity but its worth it. You might need a side kick lol..
For the logo maybe on one side a cartoon drawing of a broken down mower with a "free" sign and a sad face. On the other side a mower cutting grass with a happy face.
Most guys fix it themselves, because mowers are pretty simple machines. Otherwise, you get someone that charges your $300 for a "spring tuneup" consisting of a new air filter, plug, oil change and a blade sharpening. And if your carb is gummed up, add another $50-100 onto that for a cleaning. So.....that is why people who don't have mechanical skills just keep buying new ones. To them, it's not worth fixing a 15-20 year old mower.
Not to take away from Mustie, he clearly has the knowledge & experience to do this but, just about anyone can do a lot of these repairs with basic tools & the correct knowledge, it's all a matter of paying attention to what you're looking at, thinking logically &, most importantly, HAVING A GO! In most cases, especially with mowers, as already stated, they're pretty simple machines...
Hell, I'd be willing to do some design work.
herpaderpy do it and send it to Darren. You never know, he may just start doing merchandise..
You live in a fairytale place! Free tractors. Free lawn mowers. Free atv’s. Adopt me mustie and I leave Italia!!!
Military Museum right we don’t have junk day like that in my area of Ga. May find a couch or a fridge once in a blue moon
This was my exact thought, I wish I could find all that kind of free stuff. Around me everyone wants at least 100 bucks for a non-running push mower even or at least so it seems like to me.
Viva Italia ! Rember Cuppa del Mundo 1982 !
Here in Idaho people want hundreds or thousands of dollars for stuff with blown engines LOL, and they wonder why its still sitting in their yard, field, driveway, etc. 20 years later LOL.
On the coast man there's lots of jobs lots of people it's the oldest part of society and dense communities unlike here in Arkansas we have lots of open space
I Love your videos!!!
You amaze me how smart you are!!!
We Enjoy your videos Mustie sir.Thank you.Those Little Horses can be sweet one week,and have a total mind set for a day.But they are nice Horses.CHEERS.
Goooood morning everyone. A cup of coffee on a Sunday morning and a new Mustie vid. Life in isolation doesn’t get any better
Yes it does... watch andrew camarata......................
So true !!
Before I started the video I was hoping there wasn’t going to be one of these comments.
Amen brother!
I was telling you:"It's the switch, it's the switch", but you weren't listening! Looks like another great find for free. Thanks for sharing.
was yelling the same thing lol
I love how he takes apart a part that is not supposed to come apart, and then fixes it and reassembles the part that isn't supposed to come apartl. And then it works!
This is the old school way, never know until you try mentality, most of the time a good cleaning will fix a lot, not just throwing parts at something!
I can believe he didn’t test for power out at the switch first thing.....
Why then there wouldn’t be a video to watch!
Great job, any engine can come alive. You have a gift from God.
Love from India.
You are an amazing mechanic / problem solver!
I know I shouldn’t, but I hit the like button before watching.
1267Pooh Winfrey. We all do!
I always do that haha
Actually I do that just to make sure I don't forget to like the video
1267Pooh Winfrey me too !
it's a video from mustie of course we all hit the like before fully watching it....common practice
Big smile when it started,keep going Mustie1 from here in the UK.
Thanks 👍
I worked on all types of small engines for 15 years. Mustie has a great approach to diagnosing problems. Even better is that his attitude is awesome. Great job Mustie and great Vlogs.
Thanks Mustie. Never gets old!
with all thats going on watching these sure makes the day go better
I don't know about you lot out there but at the moment I DO HAVE the time for a 4 hour video. Thankyou your keeping several nations occupied.
This is Tim from Ohio I will say u r the best I love looking at ur videos.
Mustie 1 is a brilliant mechanic who manages thoughtful videography and useful commentary. Thank you for posting this fascinating video!
"Some days you win.....And some days you WIN!!"
This should be Musties slogan. He's always winning
always! i wish my luck were that great with machines i have horrible luck im on my third engine on my rider lol
He came out with a classic some time ago........"what would a Mustie 1 video be without a mouse nest?" LOL
Does anyone else hit the thumbs up BEFORE watching the video?
Thanks for yet again, another great video. Gives me a little self confidence to dive into things with tiny parts!
Be careful out there, Brother. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Another win! Great to see it run again. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Jim Mustie1 to the rescue! (Black Oak Arkansas, 70s band) Ha Ha! Here in Colorado you would never find one for free! You got it made in New England! Love that Mustie1! Thanxz
9:12 I like how the gas tank has "full level" imprinted in the plastic just under the lip. Well, duh. I thought fuel running down the outside of the tank was a decent indicator.
I also loved how it was on the outside of a non-transparent tank lol
That's how I usually fill my small engine equipment
Heh Darren. With all that is happening in the world right now, everyone is a bit off their game. You could have easily edited out your brain fart moment; instead you left it in and we thank you for that. It makes us feel human. Great video as always- thanks for bringing us along.
Dear Rick Koshak.
👍👌👏 Exactly what I thought instantly too.
Best regards luck and health.
Thanks for another awesome video!!
Hi Mustie love you videos keep up the great work and find more roadside gold.
I loved it as you said "It has my price on it" I use that too!
Just as you was about to tap that plastic on the carburetor I was thinking " that's gonna break " and behold ... It did...
Mustie1 I love your channel. Thank for the sunday entertainment every week.
Thanks for the video keeping me entertained during the shutdown
The perfect antidote for self isolation. Thank you mustie your a saviour
Classic Mustie1. Gonna re-watch some of the older stuff now that I've got plenty of time on lcokdown. Thanks so much for the sanity medication.
Any time!
Watch the Honda 350 motorcycle series. That was classic!
I think the crusty series will always be my favorite
Nice to see you back working on the roadside free small engine stuff.
😢been watching your videos for quite a while very informative and teaching all in all keep it going thanks much
Old age is getting us all I can hide my own Easter eggs lol
lol, i could probably do the same .. have a like
I'll have to use that line!
Tim D it’s so true sometimes I swear
So glad to have this to watch today stuck here for two weeks now Yhese are my favorite types of your vids
Thanks so much Darren please stay safe
You're a very patient man! Good job of troubleshooting the problem. I enjoyed watching you work!
Love love love the 20/20 hindsight subtitles. To err is human...
love a game like this but done right also i dont mind a 4hr vid any one else
I'm thankful it's at least an hour. You couldn't get involved in a 15 or 30 min video from all he does.
Very relaxing and entertaining.
And hopefully these Young bucks may actually learn something.
Is that ATS in your pic?
Great score and no smoke. Good that it’s running again.
I always enjoy your vids Mustie
Sunday morning, a hot cup of fresh coffee, and a Mustie1 "will it run?" free lawn tractor video... Thanks Mustie1! Please stay safe.
I have to admit one of the best parts of the videos is the semi sarcastic answers you give yourself in editing I might be the only one but I think you can put in more of them.... Greetings from a locked-down South Africa
Thanks for showing the value of the 'old school' impact screwdriver. Lots of young people today have never even seen on. Kind regards, Al
Awesome. I do laugh at your comments. I get like that some days. We are sitting at home with lockdown here in South Africa. You leep me entertained and I learn a great deal. Please stay safe and virus free as I would like to watch videos in the future
1:05:50.....I just spit out my tea. I’m female, and totally addicted to these videos, even though there’s no way I’d attempt most of this. But when Mustie said ‘I envisioned a little bit larger. I’ve heard that in my life before, too’....I literally just spit out my tea. What a hoot.
And that there is why you take your electronic device into jeopardy if you drink a beverage whilst watching a Mustie1 vid.. oh and read the comments left
This is just what I need for a UK Sunday afternoon 🙂
Nice find ,once again you get it going and I learn something new keep safe 🇬🇧
I love it when u ou put a motor back together and it starts again.
That little horse looked very lonely. Give him some apples and say hello every time you see him/her.
He walked over to the fence with the "WTF do you want?" attitude my dog has sometimes. You could tell he wanted a snack.
Who could possibly give this guy a thumbs down? Love how he let us watch him do trial and error! Great video, I didn't want it to end.

You are the king of fixing things without buying new parts, THE KING!
I want to live where you do - The Land of Free Power Equipment. These are great videos. I especially like the steady stream-of-consciousness commentary that sounds like me when I’m working on a project. My wife and kids think I’m nuts when they hear me debating with myself as I work through things. Thanks for sharing the adventures!
Glad you like them!
Dear Mr. Mustie1.
👍👌👏 Well done again, Sir.
By the way: I definitely would watch 4 hour videos from this channel.
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health to you, your wife, families, relatives and friends.
Postscriptum: What a nice little pony at the end of the vid. I wouldn't be able to resist to try to pet it.
A Godsend while in isolation. Thank you for the content, keep it coming D!
Who is d
Thanks for another enjoyable video Mustie1. Great isolation entertainment :)
The motor sounds good. . Great video. thanks for sharing.
It's fun watchin' over your shoulder when you bring these things back to life. Great job.
I wish I had that kind of luck while working on cheap stuff. With my luck, there’s going to be a piston ring blown or a total top end rebuild. You are a very lucky person to have this many projects up and going. I currently have only 2 finished projects in my garage out of 4 others that are just sitting behind my garage.
It's amusing how you chastise yourself for not remembering exactly where all those little carburetor parts go. Most people wouldn't figure it out without using a video showing the disassembly. You relax, you cogitate and from experience you work it out. Fun to watch. Anyone would feel lucky to be as clever as you are on your off days.😉
THANK YOU MUSTIE1 for uploading a video during the virus outbreak ive been board to absolute tears your awesome.
We have been in lockdown for over 1 month. I NEEDED this video mustie1!!! Grazie.
I would move to America just to find the garage sale and free piles!
I’ve just started watching but I’ll guess ”Yes it will run, it’s up against Mustie1.”
I have a 180. Very similar. Mine was worse when I got it. Those engines are great. For 7 years now this is my winter tractor.
Love the lawnmowers and Riding mower Videos!
Random notes on the old 160, as my father has 3, one of which is always on semi-permanent loan to me!
1. Remember, as the diagram next to the dipstick shows, check the oil level WITHOUT screwing in the dipstick.
2. The fb460v in the 160 is 12.5hp. The 160 was only made '86-'88 as the nearly-identical 170 replaced it (160 was flathead, 170 was overhead).170 was 14hp.
3. The parking brake feature next to the deck height holds down both brake and clutch pedals for you
4. There are no brake or clutch safety switches, the transmission just needs to be in neutral
5. The transmissions are the weak link on these, they're the permanently sealed type and not cheap
6. Steering tends to be stiff; some folks have luck with the "poor man's power steering" fix using thrust bearings though
7. Yours has the optional oil filter, which is nice to have. Headlights were the other main option. The 165 was the hydrostatic version of this tractor.
Another great project, thanks for helping distract me from the chaos that is two working-from-home parents trying to keep their jobs while watching a baby and a toddler whose daycare/school are closed!
Just found you, enjoying it, awesome. All the way from sunny N. Ireland, in these
International solidarity lock down times, here’s to you and all of us worldwide, stay safe as best you can. Enjoying the fixing.
Dude you had me in tears....great episode..
At 1:04 looking for a place to put the idle air screw...I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that does that from time to time, lol. Thanks for keepin in real Mustie!!
Bringing another "Deere" back to life.....way to go!!
Bottle fed deere
Now this is funny. I’m sitting here drinking coffee out of my Taryl cup, watching mustie drain old gas into his Taryl cup.
There's your dinner
from the carbatrator
Just so you know that price is al ot of ours!! LOL Great Video. I learn something new every video. Thanks for sharing your wrenching with us!
Those Kawasaki engines are excellent. Very reliable and the carburetors are simple to service. Have one on my mower and pressure washer, both from around 1986
Mustie has a bad day at the shop, it takes him an extra 20 min or maybe an hour. I have a bad day at the shop I'm in there for two weeks...ugh
That's nothing. I have a bad day at the shop and I have to call the fire department or the paramedics...
for me 2 weeks and still nothing...:(
I had a bad 45 mins last night at the shop and now I'm waiting on 2 rear hubs and a fuel pump.
Since I have time till the parts arrive I'm here 🤣
Greg,
The story of my life!!!
I wish here in the UK we could put mowers strimmers etc on the road so they free to anyone passing bye u got it made over there mate
Good video
Phil in the Uk
Good looking mower and Nice coffee mug. Taryl Fixes all has some great videos as well.
u are without a doubt the most knowledgeable mecanic on utube. u explain things well without offending folks! keep up the good work and i'll keep watching.
There is a a phrase in Finnish language that goes "to cause grey hairs" and it means the overflow of annoying/weird issues, usually referring to machinery not working or just having to deal with idiotic people and the consequences of their actions.
You sir and your channel are the purest embodiment of this phrase. I can see the amount of grey hairs increase in every video;D
We've got that in German too - I suspect most languages have something like it!
Yeah in English too so not unique to Finland
Olli Lehtonen “Finnish Him!”
@@thomassmith6027 The stuff he has worked on over the year have caused him alot of gray hairs.
everyone on the planet, please take care
Why would anyone down vote this? Without ruining anything, I was in favor of checking the issue that was deemed to be the problem a little earlier, but there were so many other things distracting you from that. Love the tech and your expertise that you are sharing with us! Thank you!
Always useful info on how to fix small engines comes in handy having to DIY all my gear.
Wish Mustie was my neighbour. I could come round and hold stuff.
WHAT!!!!!
I wish I could be closer to him too. I would help him fir NO CHARGE AT ALL
Ah, an engine I happen to be quite familiar with! Back a couple years ago me an my grandfather took a LX176 chassis that had a blown motor and put the 160 motor on it. It was quite fun and happend to fit perfectly. Those cast engines run forever, they are very very tough. The deck on the mower you have here is actually off an LX model, as you see they are very interchangeable.
It seems to be a 12.5 hp not a 16.
Chasing that electrical down was pretty damn impressive!
Fantastic how make mechanical devices so interesting !!! 👍👍👍
Really enjoy your approach to these yard picks and it’s always educationally entertaining. I know you hear it all the time but thanks 🙏!
I appreciate that!
Here in California You don’t even have to put a free sign on it just leave it outside and it will disappear
I like the woodpecker sound hammering in the key switch 🤣🤣
"Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?" Long time fan, keep the vids coming, going thru vids I've already seen. You sir are the best!
Troubleshoot tip: when something doesn't turn on, always start at the switch. Then work down the circuit.
I'd love to watch a four hour video!!
Excellent work
Love watching your videos
All your videos are great! But, on a personal note in these challenging times, I want you to know how much you mean to my wife and me. My wife, who should have been a mechanical engineer, but instead is (and has been for 46 years) a nuclear medicine tech and healthcare manager, has found your TH-cam channel to be her go-to place to relieve stress, be entertained, and find hope when she comes home from long hours at our county hospital. Why? You might ask. Well, it’s hard to say exactly. Maybe it’s your calming voice, your optimism, your can-do, use-it-up or make-do spirit. You symbolize what is best in our society. You are resourceful, steadfast, cheerful in the face of adversity, good humored, and respectful of your followers. God Bless you and yours.
Brought tears to my eyes but then I'm his
Uncertain, challenging and dangerous times are words I never want to hear again. Social distancing is communism to me.
