Great video my friend. I’m loving this video series. 😁👍
Steve you are awesome my brother. I hope you have a great day and are doing well.
Happy Easter Steve !
Happy Easter@@mr1pearl I hope you are doing well!
I got $500 for a Craftsman R1000 in similar condition in my area, and this is a much higher quality mower. I think you can easily get $800. It just may take a few days to find someone who is willing to cough up the cash. You have a good machine here.
Mice nest, it’s best to remove cover and clean every one, lots of fires because of nest and over heating damage to engine
Double checking makes a great mechanic
Clean the cooling fins on all my flips to prevent blown head gasket issues and prevent engine fires.
It has that same MTD configuration that a lot of brands use. I have several Troy Bilts that have the same engine and body.
The part number for the Briggs carb jet screwdriver is 19061. They cost around $20.
You had a good mower to start with, but it came out looking fantastic. I wish I had the patience to spend as much time detailing mine. I just knock the top layer of crust off and call it a day unless I have a really nice machine like this.
Looks great
Gotta love a good flip, i flipped a walker 3 weeks ago got it for 700$ sold for 3k
I lucked up on a mower like this a few years ago. One of my neighbors had a brand new mower given to her by her father that she never used. It had been sitting in her back yard for several years. She was disabled, and her yard was completely overgrown. Someone filed a complaint on her, so my mom and I went and cut it for her. She gave me the mower in exchange. I wasn't expecting anything, but I was happy to get it running again and keep it from rotting away. I just had to put a battery, carb needle, do a carb rebuild, and deck belt on it, and I had it back up and running again. I have been using it for several years now, and I am only $80 into it. It has less than 200 hours on it.
I'm starting to say buttery smooth lol. As always i love the final review when you work your magic. it really sets you apart.
I've been doing this for almost 20yrs, never seen a float upside down!!!!
Nice looking poulan pro mower hope the plastic transmission will last a Long time
Hopefully so. They get packed with grass and then they have issues. Thank you for always being so supportive. 😎🇺🇸
@@freedommowers420 you are most welcome Alex and your family have a great Easter Sunday 🙏🙏
Great video
Really nice job. This mower was a great find.
The pedal sticking problems is only going to get worse especially in dusty conditions. Cheap fix, take out the battery and battery box. Take the left screw out of the transmission cover. The two halves of the cover are connected with a small strip of plastic. Cut the strip to separate the two halves. Now you can lift up on the left cover half. Look for a well in the transmission housing, it will be filled with dirt. Break up the dirt and blow it out with compressed air. This will reveal the three return springs in the well that get jammed with the dirt. It will then work like new again.
I just cleaned mine out again because the pedals were sticking and I only saw two return springs so my memory was faulty.
Thank you for the video
Great work, my friend . I am retired & enjoy working on garden & lawn equipment. I buy , refurbish & resell also . I have picked up a few good tips from you , tyvm for that . I live in western Canada. I am always amazed how you find all those great deals . Well, take care, my friend have a great summer.
Alex, great job! I certainly respect you for going the extra distance and putting in the effort to make it run and look like new! Wish more people would put in the effort. Thanks for a great video. For the age and condition $800.00 seems reasonable.
Lol. I have been working on the push mower from hell on and off for a year now. I was doing the second start, and pulled on it for 15 minutes before I realized it was out of gas, lol. We all do it sometimes.
Really enjoy all your videos Alex! I appreciate your attention to detail on making each machine look as good as possible! Happy Easter!
I'm starting to say buttery smooth like you lol. as always i love the final reveal Its magic. Your doing a great job picking out stuff to fix up.
Awsome this content is awsome and i had a poulan pro before so story starts maybe 2016 me and my dad went to pick up this poulan pro when we got there the front of the hood was gone so we had to use straps to hold on the hood so maybe 2019 or 2020 my dad lost the key and left sitting in the backyard for probably 4 years than one of my friends dads came over i guess he works on mowers too so he came over and asked if he could take it also we did pull out a murray push mower out of my dads shed and that one was a 2016 and i tore apart the murray engine and the poulan pro engine because i wasn't good at engines and more at the time and so the guy took all the mowers and parts away but yeah good job today alex!
Awesome story and thank you so much for the support. I really enjoy working on them, and it helps with my PTSD as well as anxiety. I hope you have a great day!!
I forgot to say happy easter!
I LOVE THE VEIDOS
Thank you!!
You mentioned how people in your area do not want to spend any money on the older equipment. LOL these plastic transmission machines with Intek engines that like to lock up and blow compression releases probably sell great. Love the channel and your premise for fixing and see how far you can trade up is awesome.
It is well worth the time as it will bring more money. So many people buy by sight of an item. I fix and sell mowers also and it makes a huge difference to the buyer. Here in western Illinois I could get around $650 - $700 for it.
$250 is a great price for that. Did I see an AED in your shop? The white box on the wall with a heart and lightning bolt through it?
Mowers are expensive in Australia, That woild sell for around $2,000. Crazy price I know but that is the going price.
Love your amazing Channel! Keep it up! Never give up on your amazing hard work and grace! ❤
Hey!! Thank you so much for the support. That means a lot. 🙏🙏
Morning 😊Sunday Easter 😊❤
Happy Easter 🐣
Good job, Alex. 👍
That machine should go for no less than a grand!
Couple things I’d do differently - since you do so many mowers I’d have a dedicated pump spray bottle just for used motor oil and spray the underside of every mowing deck and push mower.
Also, since that Poulan is so fast, I think a pair of yellow racing stripes down the middle of that hood would really look great!
Love the work, detail, and dedication brother this one turned out nice.... 😎
Alex, i think when the fiddle fairies put the float in upside down really helped you in your purchase! I really like the deck reinforcement plates. A Husqvarna tractor in that size is now $2400 + tax. That machine is so nice , i would ask $1000! I truly believe in how you list a machine really improves your selling price. On push mowers i always list everything i do to them and all there features. Your well on the way to your goal. The extra time you spend polishing and touch up painting really pays off in my opinion! Happy Easter. ✌🥚🇺🇸
Thank you so much Roger. I had to cut this video down in time. This one took a while to get just right and my ultrasonic cleaner shorted and almost burned the shop down. I really feel it’s worth $1000 as well. I’ll try to list higher when I post it this week. I usually put in all the new parts as well. It’s helps the buyer feel like they are getting a good machine. I appreciate your support so much as always!! I hope you are doing well my friend 😎🇺🇸
Happy Easter! It is very much worth the effort cleaning them up. Friend of mine and l both had Cub Cadet GT2554's his had 50 less hours and l got $250 more for mine from for maybe 3 hours of detail work cleaning and light painting. Keep up the great work.
That’s the way I feel as well. If I spend the time to clean and detail, people often will buy just on cosmetic looks. I want them to run as good as they look, but yea I think it’s well worth the effort. Happy Easter !!!! Thank you!!!
Great content, nice video! Would like to see a video on how you make them shine from start to finish
Happy Easter Alex ! You made out on this one it's practically new it probably sat for 3 maybe 4years so 2 years worth of wear and because it was a small yard really only a year worth of wear yep new !!! Deal man ask for more seriously !
Great job again sir! Always looking forward to the next video!
Thank you so much for the support 💪
Hey my brother I have been refurbishing mowers for a long time I love your work I have one question what do you use on your plastic that makes it look so good thanks
Good job Alex. There is a product called Mold Armor that's used to get mold and mildew off vinyl siding. It might work on that gas tank; it's worth trying. Happy Easter.
Where would I find that? It would be worth trying for sure.
Bring up Home Depot and search for Mold Armor; there are many products in the Mold Armor line.@@freedommowers420
That thing looks great! Nice Job!
Thank you so much 😎🇺🇸
As always, good job!
Thank you so much.
Have you made a video on how you clean and detail your lawnmower projects and get them presentable to sell?
Yours always look good in your videos when you’re done working on them.
If not, I’d like to see your process on how you do this.
Thank you,
Mark.
Thank you. I’m going to make one soon. I have had a lot of requests on the subject.
Happy Easter!!! Great project, gotta say never seen a float upside down.
Me either!! Haha. Interesting to say the least 🤣🤣. Thank you so much. Have a great Easter.
I was gifted a Troy-Bilt Bronco 42” and so far I have had to replace a RF axle, all four tires, blades, deck belt, steering ball joints, deck discharge chute, fuel filter, oil, had the original from the factory oil filter on it, spark plug, reconnect the deck lift/height adjustment it was disconnected, the engine is a KOHLER and runs like its brand new.
It sounds like you have put in a lot of work on that one. I bet it will run for a long time now. Thank you for stopping by and sharing. 😎
@@freedommowers420 only issues is it surges after about 10 minutes so replacing cruddy carb.
Do ever do regular sevuce on mowers or this Fix and Flip
Wow, the float upside down. Soon we will see the whole mower upside down lol😅
Spray some furniture Polish on the Hood let it set for a Sec then qipe it down see if thats helps
Maje it look a little shiner😊😊
Keep up good work love video
Thank you so much.
Nice job, don’t forget to put the gas tank bolts back on.
Here in Australia about $2,500 TO $3,000
U have vid on adjusting steering wheel to align straight with tires?
HI, Happy Easter. Paper filters should not be used for gravity feed fuel systems.
Happy Easter to you! I’ve heard mixed opinions on the paper filters. What makes them not suitable? I’m always trying to learn.
@@freedommowers420 They can work, just clog easier, because they filter smaller particles, and sometimes not enough pressure for gas to flow through them.
where I live - about 6-7 hundred
900 to 1000 in west Tennessee
That would go for $1600 here in Hawaii. Nice score! 👍
Seems like you are proud of the work you do. You need to ask a premium for the detail you do
What Dud you luve the Brake Pedal Lukage with .
Bkast???
What will it sale for in your area ??
Very nice mower 😊
I’m hoping for around $800 in my area in this condition. Thank you!!
The Only Trabsmission thats has Plastic parts belings om
A Heman MOTU
Vechiles
Great flip, Alex! I am getting ready to sell my Ariens with an 18hp kohler and a 42 inch deck. Just needs a front end alignment, for the new carb to be adjusted and for one of the blade spindles to be rethreaded. Any advice for how I should go about the alignment? Happy Easter!
Gan
I’m trying to remember what video I did with a front end alignment but I think Steve over at Baldeagle242 had a great video on hot to do it.
@@freedommowers420 Thanks Alex, I'll check out Steve's video!
Is there a way to losen upa Stuck Fuel Silanode
Remove the battery and clean top of trans every month or two
Otherwise they work ok ✅
Why do you use 2 stroke fuel to start it at first?
I just made a TH-cam short and need your help, my mudmower ain’t running right and maybe you would know why, it shows how it’s running
Seems like alot of parts are the same as a HUskavarna mowers'
float upside down LOl
Every one needs carb cleaning period, 90% of the time it’s the gumb up carbs and fuel hoses 😢
Gasoline is terrible now and over priced
Yes for sure. Almost always need a cleaning.
THAT TURNED OUT SNAZZY MAN .....SELL IT YET ?
Thank you. I did end up selling it. $850 in the pocket 💵💵
@@freedommowers420 niiice
In my area that mower would bring 250 at the most poulans are junk we breath John Deere around here
The first 6 numbers of the serial number are the date of manufacturing. So this mower was built 04/24/18.
Thank you.
When they say they have not messed with it or old soso worked on it, they did it 😢😢😢😢
Truth!! Every time hahahaha
Hey, I know you’re mower mechanic so I just wanted to ask you a quick question I have a GT275 John Deere with a 17 hp Kawasaki I’ve checked the spark it has spark, fuel air and it for the life of me I cannot get it to start I took the head off, clean the head, dumped it in gasoline and wiped the head with a paper towel for the life of me, I still can’t get the start it just backfires out of the carburetor. I’ve checked the gapping and everything that’s all online. I just wanted to see and it has a new carpet. I just wanted to see if you knew what would be going on with it
I would say with everything you told me that the timing is possibly off. There is a key way on the flywheel that connects to the crankshaft. If it has sheered the key, you can have good spark, fuel, and compression. It’s just not firing at the right time. You will have to pull the flywheel and see if the key is sheered.
@@freedommowers420 OK I replaced the flywheel cue a couple months back, but I’ll check the timing and stuff like that and then if it doesn’t work I’ll get back to you
420 TO SPEND ....I KNOW WHERE ID GO ...HA
