![Hovering Lawn Mower [Restoration]](/img/n.gif)
I can’t believe I’m lying here, on my couch on a Sunday night, watching someone restoring an old lawnmower. Is this what my life has come to?
Same here lol
I'm right along with ya.
Same
@@gotchagee3315 Holy cow, exactly what I am thinking. This is so entertaining, all the little techniques. Makes me want to buy one of those cutting tools, or dremels ,,,, I do not know that is but I know guys that know how to use them (not me) got some skills.
I think what you meant to say is “ how lucky am I to be sitting here care free on a Sunday night and I get to watch an awesome lawnmower restoration video, life is good!”
With all the fake restoration content out there it’s really refreshing to see someone put in some hard work and make something beautiful. Great vid.
Thank you very much friend!
@oddtinkering is another real one!
Too many fake restorations its nice to see a real one
Who's doing fake restorations? All the guys I watch seem to be doing real stuff. Odd Tinkering, Mr. Patina, are they faking it?
In a world of over engineered products, the sheer simplicity of that mower is refreshing. I bet it was affordable too.
True. Affordable and repairable too, probably.
It looks like something that a plant electrician cobbled together after the lawnmower motor seized because he forgot to mix oil with the gas.
I can see so many of us share a lot of the same thoughts. Your comment about simplicity.., that is what hit me after about 1 minute. I think about my $1,100+ Honda and I look at this old relic - so effective and so easy to fix and understand. My Honda.., no.., its overengineered.
Me too. We have an eclectic/battery riding mower. Over engineering at its best. Yet this little ditty pushed thru high grass and did a good job.
I would bet that's a home made contraption' circuit breakers aren't switches
That circuit breaker power switch was amazing.
The rewire alarmed me. With a Metal Mower, it is easy to accidentally cut the Power Cord. Yet, there was no Earth Supply on the Plug or machine. I would not use it until the Mower had the correct wiring.
@@peterduxbury927it has the correct wiring for a MAN! y’all? not so much
Glad to see I wasn't the only one that noticed that
😂 that's the first thing I noticed
It is wired to correctly.remind me not to let you touch anything electric.
To have the patience and skill to do that metal work is amazing! Thanks for the video Mr. Gamb! Great job!
Probably one of the best restoration videos I've seen. It's so nice to see someone who is willing to put in the work and do it right. Well Done.
thank you very much
The ease with which you bridge gaps with brazing shows your considerable experience. Your temperature control of the workpiece with the oxy was a pleasure to watch.
Beautiful resto!
It is nice to see someone interested in restoring old things that lasted longer then the things we have today.
Apparently, they don't last longer than* today's things, as this was destroyed and had to be restored.
This is some cobbled up mess that somebody threw together 50yrs ago. It had a circuit breaker for an on / off switch 😂. You know there was no company that actually produced this abomination.
I wondered that myself.
You're a lot more dedicated than I am. The moment that bolt broke off, I'd be like, "OK, that's enough fun for today, off to the scrap heap you go!"
🤣
Instead of scrap yard sell it to a restoration person
Now that's some cutting edge technology
Underrated comment 😂😂
@@sierrarobinson3656 thankyou 🙂
Not a hack job either😅✌️
Always great to see sharp humor
Thank you for not blabbering all the way through the video like so many other TH-camrs like to do. How refreshing!
👍🤝
blabbering with hand gestures and overdramatic expressions.
I love that you left the pitting on underside of the mower. This was a beautiful restoration. You can afford to be mighty proud of yourself, sir!
Great restoration. It reminds me of my high school days back in the 1960s when I would cut my folks yard with an electric mower. It was a Sunbeam, a nice cutting mower with two blades that were belt driven. It was light and easy to maneuver. The yard was so big that I used a 100 foot (30 meters) extension cord and still had to use one power outlet for the front yard and a different outlet for the back yard. It was light enough that I could pick it up with one hand.
I cut our lawn with a double-bladed Sunbeam electric motor! I loved that thing! My dad taught me how to properly use an electric mower, and away I went! Trying to find something comparable now is impossible. The other thing I loved about the Sunbeam was that the handle could be flipped, rather than having to turn the whole machine around at the end of every row of cutting.
@@geocam2you’re really gonna freak when you find out how old electric cars are. Lol
Yup Sunbeam 151 great little machine, there was also the Flymo mower, no wheels, also remember one with a 12 volt car battery and a motor like a starter . Gord
@@geocam2 umm.. what's so innovative about attaching a blade to an electric motor that nobody thought of doing it before twenty years ago?
@@geocam2wait till you find out German U-boats ran on battery power when submerged
What a beautiful old mower you just saved!
😂🤣
Very nicely done! That's a neat little old mower, and certainly not one I have ever seen before. Very cool!
👍🙏
Mr Gamb. Every time I watch one of your restorations I am just amazed at your beautiful work. Congratulations to you on such a beautiful job 👍🏼.
Thank you friend!
Mr. Gamb, you did an ultra fine job of restoration. You gave this old mower a chance to prove what it was capable of doing. I was amazed and entertained with your video; such a professional job on both. It makes me feel good to watch these videos where some one can make an old beat up item return to its glory. You are a handy person and I applaude your efforts. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment! I was happy!
You are a good man!
Refreshing to see a real restoration, not some artificially aged device. This guy has some serious talent! And I applaud him for resurrecting such a cool, antique machine!
Thank you very much friend!
For real. These bright red restorations are so fake these days.
And nice to see one that is not filled with sponsors.
Talent? Um...barn job.
Excellent job!
Thanks for saving that one.
You, sir, have got yourself a new subscriber. Very refreshing to see some real restoration content, as well as some real craftsmanship on this platform that is oversaturated with fake videos. I look forward to watching more of your videos, this one was certainly a nice way to wind down after a day. Take care.
Is it me or do you get a warm fuzzy feeling watching things like this
I love real restoration content where it's not just something new someone bought and buried in the mud for a week. This channel is always real restoration of actual classic objects.
Thanks for showing it actually mows.
Although it doesn't cut very well, it's nice to see how much you restored this piece of history. It looks good as new. 😉
Looks like an old floor buffer with extra wheels. Cool video.
This gentlemen has great skills and knowledge in restoration of old items and brings them back to life, I wouldn’t know where to start , let alone on how to put them back together, I’d have leftover parts, he puts items back together as if he knows exactly how they were assembled at the factories, when each item is restored, they always look brand new, great job on each of your projects, love watching 😃👍
My friend's family had one of these. My friend was forever running over the cord, cutting it and shutting off the lawnmower. It has several places where his dad spliced the cord together again. Amazing. Nobody got electrocuted.
I did the same thing with one back in the 90's. That damn extension cord lol.
This is my first time seeing an electric lawn mower, lol.
@MrJavaman5 were you born last week?
The worst point about that Mower, is - if you slice through the Cord, it could be instant death. There is no Earthing on the machine at all! No Electrical safety!
I honestly didn’t think there was such a thing as an electric lawn mower. You did an excellent job of restoring it to working condition. It cuts the grass like a beast.
I am 85 and enjoy repairing anything. I find it a challenge. Most men had this outlook many
years ago. Now a days..if it breaks just throw away and buy another. So I like many men
enjoy seeing everyday things around the house repaired. My 30 year old car is in very
good condition as I have done all repairs myself. So is my 25 year old lawn mower..old but still dependable. So if handy..repair and keep running. 😊😊😊
My two year old son and I love to watch these restoration videos.
What a cool friend! I have a 2 year old son who is in love with the mower! Before I fixed it, it was scared when it started, because the bearings made a lot of noise! Now that it's quiet, do you want to come and help push when I'm cutting!🥰
Very nice! Plus, now you have something to mow your hazardous waste dump.
Your comment had me rolling on the floor!
🤣🤣🤣
I am a woman whom loves to genuinely restore old things love this video great job ❤
Holy crap that is some masterclass work. It's amazing how many little moving parts go into such a deceptively simple tool and how many tools you needed to maie this possible. You should have far more views on this.
Absolutely fantastic and wonderful job! love the sped up chiseling/ hammering parts .
I love the simplicity of electric lawnmowers. My gas mowers need constant repair.
Basic maintenance and they’re not too bad
Brings back memories when my Dad got an electric lawn mower like that one. I was all about 9 years old!!! What a restoration job!!!🤛🏼🤛🏼😎😎
Great restoration...👍 You have done a really good job with brazing ..i like your chisel
👍🤝🙏
Great work! Turned out great, I was surprised by how well it mowed!
👍🙏
Good job! And a very enjoyable video!
I remember when I was a little kid you had to be rich to own this kind of lawn mower! You are a very talented person this looks amazing!
thanks
That thing looks ancient. Any idea how old it actually is?
50's
I believe that the friend who said it was from the 50s must be right! but I'm not sure.
That thing is cool
Amazing restoration 😊
The firm of Renzetti started in the 1970,s.
I’m totally shocked at the transformation, this would have certainly gone in the tip but you gave it a new life. What fantastic finish good as new
Excellent mechanical and videography skills. Very watchable. Much success to you.
Thank you very much!
Restore lawnmower from scratch new blade new tires paint job cut some grass outside of the yard old and new awesome video friend best mechanic
Thank you very much friend!
Awesome restoration. Looked like a really fun project. Great job.
thanks!
This video was electrifying. I was shocked to see how nice this machine turned out-side. Now you just cut-it-out. The grass, that is.
This guy is fast.
I almost forgot about these electric mowers until now.
Good job! That looks like an early unit. Quite a large motor. Nice work on the deck also.
The restoration is pretty cool, the mowing method…well, that’s another story. It’s not a vacuum.
I mean it almost kinda is with the thing having to be plugged in…..
The idea behind the center mounted handle is to flip it over at the end of the row. You don’t have to turn the mower around or walk backwards. My grandparents had a similar machine when I was a kid (I’m 65 currently) and i thought it the greatest thing since button top shoes! Thank you.
Incredible. Thanks for sharing some of your restoration tricks. You make it look easier than it is.
🤝👍
Cool brazing technique, you can fill large holes without messing with the thin base metal.
Very soothing to watch... And very impressive going through that extremely long grass... Wow ! 🤗 ...
Nice restoration.😊
Fantastic! I’m currently “restoring” a 1959 AMF HOMKO 18” push mower, but not to this amazing level that you have done here. The body filler really makes the deck smooth and looking factory new. I was going to do that on mine but I’m just going to use it as a utility mower to do rough mowing so I didn’t bother. You truly are an artist!
thank you very much
this has all the things i love in a restore video: rust removal bath, paint stripping, electrolysis, shotblasting, bondo... only thing that's missing is laser removal! lol
thats the newest trend
Agreed!
What a neat little mower! Well done!!
That is the lawn mower Adam use cut grass in the garden of Eden
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao it sure looks like it!!
....and it was already old then
What in the 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I’m not surprised to see it effortlessly cut that tall grass. That large of a motor must have some serious torque to it. Gas mowers die once they fall below a certain rpm, but the electric only pushes harder the slower it spins. Beautiful.
Umm.... It was sped up dummy! It doesn't cut good at all. I would say it's probably only running at like 1,800 rpm 🙄
Fico feliz de ver brasileiros tão capacitados como você! Parabéns pelo trabalho! 👏🏻
Valeu irmão...muito obrigado!
First time viewer here. I felt like I was watching a strange combination of "My Mechanics", "Odd Tinkering", "Hand Tool Rescue" and a little "Al Bladez" thrown in at the end! What a great job with the brazing!! I came in to the video skeptical, but you did a fantastic job!! Hope your channel does well and grows!
Thank you very much friend!
God bless you!🙏
At first when I saw you introduce the mower, I was like, that is a strange looking vertical shaft engine. Turned out, this is a nifty corded electric push mower. Didn't know they were around that long! Seems like that is for small lawns. 1/4 acre or so. Knockout job with it though. Was thinking how is he going to fill in all those rust holes? Brazing? It's different. I thought you were going to actually use a MIG welder to fill those holes in, but brazing works too.
👍
😂😂 da para saber que o cara e raiz quando escuta o barulho do quero quero, cara vc tá de parabéns e o primeiro canal brasileiro que eu vejo fazendo restaurações como essa vc tá de parabéns
Obrigado Ezequiel!
Next weeks project is how to restore a extension cord 😂
first time watching you. love it! the patience you have....
Well it's Tuesday night and I'm on my couch watching it
A mower ahead of it's time but a little behind the growing grass. Nice work.
Two comments Sir. One. You are insane. Two. You have quite the skill set with a brazing rod! Nice looking work.
Thank you very much friend!
Well, that was slicker than snot on a doorknob! 😄 That was amazing Mr. Gamb. 👍
It's all fun and games until that cord is mistaken for a snake. Shocking experience right there.
That is an interesting little lawn mower. I have never seen one with a direct drive induction motor like that; the electric mower I used every weekend was one of the twin-blade Sunbean mowers with the belts
Bravooooo maestro odlično uradjen posao dobar video.Veliki pozdrav od vjernog pratioca Mileta i Bosne.🙋🙌🙌💪💪👍👍👍👋👋👋👋.
Dear Mr. Gamb.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Very well done again (video and work). It's quite impressive how strong but quiet this little mower actually is. Does this mean that all the noisy more modern electric mowers don't need to be so loud actually?
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
this is a great video ,this is many different trades here shining!great job looking forward to more videos
👍🙏
Sometimes we challenge ourselves just to see if we could do something. Would it have been easier and less expensive to buy a new lawnmower? Absolutely! Would it have been as satisfying? NO! Thank you Mr. Gamb. We appreciate your service. Luckily this is an electric motor with lots of torque. Any petrol mower would have stalled in that tall grass. Very impressive.
Hello friend!
Thank you very much for your comment!😀🤝🙏
Wow, an old electric lawn mower. Amazing. I would like to learn the history of that one.
Now this is an electric lawnmower i can get behind, none of this plastic nonsense!
Awesome! Glad you used it at the end! NICE!
My $400+ push mower would be struggling to cut grass that thick
Just an amazing restoration!! Great video
First class restoration .
First timer here. Wow, you have Rick's Restoration totally beat.
what camera you using? great looking video
It's a Galaxy S21+!
@@MrGamb get out. wow nice upload
I have to confess I'd have given up when I saw how bad the deck was. What a mess!
Good job.
That looks like a botched job someone threw together, part hover part lawnmower at the start but the end result was amazballs
I have to admit, I had my doubts. Excellent job!
10:00 holy rusted metal batman, well not so rusty now but still.
Old but not useless
Glad someone cares enough to restore an old lawnmower. Just because things get old, doesnt mean theyre no good.
You forgot the washers before the cotter pins!!!!!!
I couldn't stop watching. This was so neat.
You have too much time on your hands. Come get my junk, I have plenty of stuff for your videos. Take a cat with you too.
😂
You did a really good job. And I like that all the tools you used are fairly obtainable. I’ve been interested in restoring something not related to cars (I’m a mechanic and am sick of them) but most of the videos I watch are using thousands of dollars in equipment…. to restore like a gumball machine.
Wait, so it just uses a long electrical cord? hah never saw one like that! What a great restoration. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't watched it happen!
Nice work that restoration looks really good
Great restoration !! It’s a lot of work , I’ve been doing it for years . Thank you for the video !
👍🙏
Our neighbor had one when i was a kid. To keep from running over the cord, he would cut working away from the outlet. He didnt have to turn the mower around. Just flip the handle over and go back the other way. The cord was then always on lawn already mowed
Great showcase of skills. I can not understand why.
first time here and this video was extremely calm and satisfying and relaxing ... good stuff 👌👌
Great work on an old mower! Cheers! Cuts well!😁👍🔧🛠️
thank you very much!
This is Mr Roger’s level of perfection
A beautiful restoration.
Filling the holes with solder takes me back to when I was repairing the tub of a 1980 Hoover washing machine. I knew there was some leaking coming from the tub, so I thought would be a couple of holes and that would be it done. When I shone a torch light through it, there were literally a hundred pin-holes. It cost me nearly a £100 pounds in silver solder rods and hours of work, but it was worth it.
