- Bulk trash day provides lots of free stuff! Lets see if we can get this free side of the road find John Deere mower running and mowing again. It didn't last long when I punted it to the curb for the next person :). Honda CT first start and ride soon!

Your son Josh has the best taste! I too simply love nearly anything that is green. 💚
Mustie 1 would be proud of getting that running 👍
Heck I love finding stuff like that.. keep an eye out when somebody's throwing away an old panhead LOL
there is always so much of it I just stopped stopping....but i took the recent Tundra purchase around to juice the battery / fluids etc and had to grab it :)....panhead? been a few years since I've seen one of those on the curb haha
@@5150mxVW yeah you just don't find the old Harley's out by the curb with the trash .. id like a shovelhead basket case to tinker w over winter 🏍️👍
Good Morning always love your videos
Good morning Mary, thank you, I hope you doing well
Awesome Jason, Mustie has competition now :)
Nice fix man, Mustie 1 would be proud !!
he's shaking his head " you have a shop and another 3 car garage I installed a lift in for you and you are STILL outside in the driveway " haha
@@5150mxVW LOL
Nice! I did the same thing with a self propelled Toro that was sitting behind my neighbors garage not started for 7 years. He said it was junk and gave it to me. Now I feel bad b/c I cut my grass with "his" mower. Hey he told me he just wanted it out of his yard. Every once in a while I see him silently steering at me from his uncut backyard as I trim my lawn. LOL!
Go offer to cut his back yard,or loan him YOUR mower 😆
@@Wil_Liam1 I told him he can use it. He doesn't want it. His yard gets cut. I am not sure if he has a service or he picked up a NEW mower. I never asked or noticed. I also do not want to belabor the point.
Musty1 would be proud of you.
Cool save... amazing what people toss to the curb and most likely go buy another 🤔
very true...their lawn was freshly cut , they may have gone with a rider
Very good of you to fix it and pass it on. Looked a decent mower too.
it was gone when Josh and i got home from baseball
@@5150mxVW somebody got a bargain
I found one like that. Bag and all. Had a lock for front wheels via cable. Cable and swivels were frozen. Freed the cable with PB. The swivels had never been greased. Although they had alamite fittings they weren't even greased at the factory. Still have it. The motor is next. 7 hp. I think. Need to dig it out and finish it. Been laid up. Just getting back.
,,,,,,DoooooooooooD ,,,,,,still one handed😮...after all.....cool you saved it,.......new grinder,.......pat.
Your videos are always a good vibe
I appreciate that 88'
Nice find, I always wanted to try one of these with the front swivels, I'll find one at the curb eventually. Also I'd ditch paper filters on gravity fed fuel lines, usually makes it run lean or not well. Only the basic red metal-mesh are meant for gravity feed, but meh if it runs then its fine.
Wow that fuel filter reminded me of a beetle set up 😁
Ultrasonic power 💪🏻
It’s a runner!
I like that Honda…..
Tip any time you get an ancient whatever that has been sitting for years,remove the spark plug and soak down the cylinder wall and rings with penetrant,let sit for 24 hours minimum before ever rotating the engine.. My save the rings,and or piston plus all old,sat up engines could use a good shot of lube.
great tip, yes i do that in all my will it run Vw engine vids ...some marvel down the blow holes
He must have cleaned the fuel tank as well, anyway, good find.👍
it was clean when i found it
I was about to rag on you for picking up that mower after you showed the carb and intake but I guess I just ate my words. LOL!
Need to do what Mustie did; buy a bigger shop with lifts! What sarcasm. Water running out of the bowl. At least there weren’t any pine cones.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Josh now has a way of earning money mowing grass.
at first it looked like one of musite1 rejects. but really its a John Deere what do you expect.......It runs.
well don't forget i spun some wrenches on it so it's a crapshoot lol
Had one of these mowers at one of my properties got it off the side of the road. It sat outside under the fire escape in the winter it was often under 4 ft of snow. Mice are the gas cap multiple times one spring (late spring) we tried to start it nothing. It had water in the gas and the oil was over flowing with water. Dumped out the water changed the oil new fuel and it started right up. After about 10 years the transmission went and it was too heavy to push so we put it out on the street free and someone grabbed it in less than 10 minutes
Amazing! Jason, you wouldn’t have used masking tape to fix the fuel line, you would have used Gorilla Tape.
🤣😆😂 love it
That JD mower would fetch at least $200 in that condition and running and sell fairly quickly during season..
well it went to a new home , didn't last long
nice job.
thank you Jim
Nice job
Thank you
Maybe Mustie left it out for you!!!
haha :), maybe he fixed it behind the scenes too haha
When we have "curb" days like that in my neighbourhood, there is NEVER anything worth picking up. Ever!
really? you wouldn't believe the stuff out here....that basketball goal in my driveway was like new, side of the road find ...i could go on and on
Afternoon mate
Afternoon Mr M
You are one crazy junk man lol what’s next a junk house or a junk garage thanks keep up the good work make more videos
awesome ! he's saying " that thing is still going !??!
👋👋👋👋 Big hug from friend Marcos Polux 🇧🇷🇧🇷🤜🤛
thank you my friend
👍
If only the bugs you find were as easy as the mower -
easier to push around too :)
one of your easier rescues! Please get a tripod ! Imagen what two hands can do!
yes it was haha...i have one , just a quick 8 minute vid that no one would watch...
I’ve been working on mowers all my life, but I’ve never seen an engine like that one….kinda looks like a Briggs, but yet it doesn’t……..
Yeah is my guess at 10 secs in
👍
Be nice now. Mustie1's hair may be white but he's not elderly. I'm sure he will get the riding mowers running...lol.
🤣🤣🤣
If you don't clean out the mouse stuff the motor will overheat. It's got to be able to breathe.....
true, I wasn't going that far with it ( and I didn't run it long ) as i didn't change the oil , sharpen the blades , fuel filter etc...i was punting it , i need to purge :)
Good find. A litle strange vw .i m joking
Java Geen ? :)
surprised you didn't pull a Mustie1 and just throw some gas/oil mix in the spark plug chamber and fire it up.....
Mustie2 LOL! 🤣
i wish !
That mower didn't have a chance with a Champion spark plug - aside from using ethanol fuel, they are a prime reason for lawn equipment ending up on the side of the road. Junkmakers!
It didn’t have a chance once I started working on it 😂
Well you could give it to a person like a disabled vet or a single mom who needs one. Most women don’t know how to fix things like that but struggle to keep the yard mowed for their kids. A break down can break the budget.
😆
I liked my comment
i liked it too :), thank you for dropping one
