Great restoration. I appreciate the info on the painting. The mix for primer vs paint mix and the the pressure on the gun difference as well. Giving me the confidence to try some of this myself.
Exmark should be calling right about now 😆 They know a professional when they see one 👍 That spring puller really is so much more convenient than a pair of pliers ! Awesome restoration man !!!
Update,new upper deck is installed literally every pulley belt moving part has been replaced doing while I was in there type stuff,new filters plug and oil too everything has a new coat of paint and detailed and put back together ,It looks brand new! Even though I bagged and tagged everything took pictures your video was a real help brother .
@Shawn Evans Thank you for sharing your comment! Your feedback means the world to us.

We genuinely hope to see you around in the future as well. youtube.com/@baldeagle242 Wishing you all the best! 😊👍
Gorgeous! Just a suggestion on the paint gun. The 120cc Harbor Freight touch-up gun would have painted that with less 4oz per coat. It's my go-to gun for small projects. Painted a 855 John Deere hood with less than 8oz total.
An excellent job, have not seen you for a while and hope all is ok. Have a very Happy and safe New Year and i gave one of your extra stickers to the Chubby Butcher here in Port Colborne Ontario Canada which he will be using in his next video. Hope you do not mind,
Hey Wayne! I hope you are doing well on this last day of 2022! 🎉 I’m looking forward to the new year and hope to post a lot more full length videos in 2023. I’ve been uploading a new short form video daily for the past couple months but need to get serious on the long form videos again. I don’t mind if you share my stickers at all! I’ll head over and check out the @ChubbyButcher 😁👍
These don’t come up for sale in good mechanical condition very often. This was a one owner mower and they used it but they also took care of it. Thanks for watching. I’ve been listening to your daily videos on my way to work in the morning. 😁🤣
If I can make a suggestion. I use a product called 303 aerospace protectant to restore faded plastic. I've seen the blow torch method before but I've heard it weakens the plastic and makes it more susceptible to breakage. Great content and look forward to more!
Yes. That's it. I wish I could send you a few before and after pics. It works really well to keep plastics uv protected and it isn't greasy like armor all. You have to periodically reapply it. I'm getting ready to try another product called Mothers Back to Black. I bought it but haven't used it.
This project turned out really nice Steve, I bet it did take you a minute to get it all looking like it does. When I redid the deck on my old Cub LT1050 I too refused to pay the price for the color matched paint, the one I used was almost identical and a third of the price. I did notic a lot of "doh's" in there, I feel your pain brother. 🤣👍
I actually came up with a completely new way to film videos like this one and started a new TH-cam channel because of what I went through on this video. This eliminates the need to film with one hand and work with only one hand. th-cam.com/video/OC-oywVl9ac/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this. Very well done project and video. Anything to look out for on these engines? I recently got a Toro Turfmaster 30” for dirt cheap that I’m about to start a full resto on and wanted to make sure the FJ180v is in tip top shape in addition to the other mechanics and aesthetics.
I’ve personally had good luck with these engines over the years. I’ve never had to open one up for internal problems. About the only thing I’ve had to worry about is a broken pull rope or a dirty carb. There are quite a few people who say this engine is under powered for a dual blade 30” mower but runs forever.
Go Bucks..... Cbus here..... saw your plate : ) My 30 has a nasty crack in the deck where the motor bolts up and I wonder if it's weldable ? I say that as it looks like a more brittle metal than steel, looks like its the frame above the deck part # 136-5908-01
It’s pretty brittle cast aluminum. I’m not sure if it can be welded or not. I have taken aluminum window screen and JB weld to make a “hillbilly” repair in a pinch but it really depends on we’re the cracks at and how bad it is.
Hey bald Eagle, I'll tell you one thing that restored the plastic instead of putting a blow torch on it.. go to parts store and get a bottle of back to black

Wow! That’s impressive. I’ve literally used this gun for the past 15-20 years on hundreds of small projects. I’m not sure I can give it up. 😁👍
Nice job

I just need to buy one from you!!💪🏽🙏🏽

As long as those bearings were exposed I would have popped the covers off to confirm the grease situation.
Te felicito
Thank you! I hope to see you around on future videos. 😁👍

Yeah will need welded for sure
How did you get the housing cover off of the exmark?
@@jniehoff1765 I show this towards the beginning of this video.
I can’t get the fly wheel bolt to loosen
Looks awfully similar to a 2019 Toro Turfmaster.
They share a lot of the same parts. The main difference being a stamped steel deck v/s a cast aluminum deck.
Hey bald Eagle, I'll tell you one thing that restored the plastic instead of putting a blow torch on it.. go to parts store and get a bottle of back to black
I’ll check it out. I’m always looking for something better.
Thanks for taking the time to share. 😁👍
Do it u will be shocked
