I have alot of videos already planned out to go on my channel this is just one and they are not all like this. But i dicided to make a video like this since i had a few lawnmowers laying around
Yeah man Oddly enough we used to drive the tractors around the yard just for fun. even without the mower deck on so when my dad found one without an engine, he adapted that 4 horse to fit it. Only problem is it needed a blade to act as a flywheel so he had to weld a 10 pound weight to the crank shaft
Man you are lucky, that black mower with the tecumseh formula engine is a lucky find, a common problem on them engines is the ring gear on the flywheel comes off and you are very lucky to have a good one
Oh I was unaware of that! Although I think there was something wrong with it, it always surged, I bought a new carb for it, still surged, I put a known good Kohler carb on it and removed the governor then it ran semi sorta ok but not really usable without the governor. Not to mention it kept popping out of the intake and backfiring l at idle speed
Thank you for the feed back! And that engine on that murray tractor in my video was not stock that murray tractor in my video was engine swapped by my dad with a briggs quantum engine from a push mower probly about 4hp however, the factory engines where still different if you're friends tractor came stock with that 12 hp OHV tecumseh engine because that murray tractor in my video came stock with a briggs van guard engine
@@mondude9754 Hmm interesting! I've got a couple vertical shaft engines kicking around which I am going to hold on to so we can keep my buddies tractor running forever! lol
Yes! I always make sure to check oil In a quantum motor because of how bad they burn/leak it... I'm not sure about mouse nests though I've never really had a problem with them 🤔
It’s custom built by my dad lol. He built it just to ride around when me and my brother were kids and it was never intended to be able to cut grass again so he just slapped a push mower engine on it
Yeah but the red one's wire harness was gone, it was just battery to ignition switch to solenoid. But I did hold the clutch in on the black tractor because it's factory wire harness still works
Well the black tecumseh did have an air filter and the murray tractor did have no air filter and the reason I'm fine with that is because the engine is a quantum Wich is super common to find in the trash and it's also one of the worst lawn mower engines today and also I thought it was normal for tractors to be outside
It’s weird seeing a push mower engine in a ride mower

You bet
Pretty cool video man! My best friend has the exact same Murray tractor, but his has a 12 hp OHV Techumseh engine.

Tankyoo
8:29 plz dont delete i just wanna see these five bits pleaaaassse
What was he spraying in the battery terminals?
It was either electric contact cleaner or maf sensor cleaner
Probably not good to put on terminals however it did improve the contact
9:44 dont delete either of these plz🙏🙏🙏
Please tell me you check for oil and mouse nests before you try to start these old mowers.
Yes! I always make sure to check oil In a quantum motor because of how bad they burn/leak it... I'm not sure about mouse nests though I've never really had a problem with them 🤔
I mean. Hey. If it's smoking. You don't have to check your oil. If it stops smoking you probably should check- fill it 😂
Why is there a push mower motor in the riding mower 😂
It’s custom built by my dad lol. He built it just to ride around when me and my brother were kids and it was never intended to be able to cut grass again so he just slapped a push mower engine on it
Oh cool just started working on those
What did that poor mower ever do to be treated so badly?
What it did wrong is being a quantum 🤣🤣
Atleast I'm not draining the oil out of it and running it
And if your talking about the black one, that just kinda degraded over time it still drove ok tho
No one talks to my friend like that..... spoodr man to the rescueeeee!!!!!!!!!

No
Ruuf?
You have to press down on the clutch to start them
Yeah but the red one's wire harness was gone, it was just battery to ignition switch to solenoid. But I did hold the clutch in on the black tractor because it's factory wire harness still works

Poor abused engine
Which one?
Which tractor?
@@mondude9754 all of them just sitting outside no airfilters
Well the black tecumseh did have an air filter and the murray tractor did have no air filter and the reason I'm fine with that is because the engine is a quantum Wich is super common to find in the trash and it's also one of the worst lawn mower engines today and also I thought it was normal for tractors to be outside
I runn all my engines with no air filters and they never blow up
Can u not delete ur making me mad 😤
