This is a good idea, the is plenty of money to be made you are right. Sometimes it's just old fuel that won't burn properly, the carb or degraded fuel lines. It's the right time of year to sell and to buy 😊
Lots of truth there brother! There's money to had, just have to willing to do the dirt! The main problem I find is dealing with the "non-serious" people.. if you know what I mean. Great video with solid advice and truths! Keep up the good work! Blessings and respect!
I have family members looking for broken mowers all the time because I’m busy working on them and can’t keep a eye open all the time Sometimes I lose but most of the time it will pay off in time Don’t expect to make big money or live off of it Just side hustle
It’s hard finding them in West Texas now Market Place is out of sight for the junk and not worth it I have friends and family who find them for me but I mostly just fix for friends and family Retired and don’t care to mechanic after 58 years of it But still love doing it 😊
I’m finding it hard and harder to find them now, every one is asking twice what there worth I’m still buying riding mowers but 2000 models only thru 2009 The new models have weak frames and junk hyd or plastic trans The old MTD or peerless trans is all I buy 😊😊😊 Push mower, any thing for 10 bucks
I’d estimate 95% of the time it is a fuel related issue. I install shutoffs on every riding mower I sell and teach the buyer how to run the carb dry for winter storage.
I tried doing some flipping with power wheels, but they always seemed to need new batteries which ate profit replacing and they take up so much room to store.

Same here. Inflations got people seeing dollar signs on all their junk now. The profitable market seems to be ATVs and dirt bikes right now.

So many fuel issues, frankly have been adding fuel shutoffs....

I hear you. Shop space is vital.
I’m in West Texas and it’s very dry here. Hoping the mechanics stay busy, I’m doing small engines repair and it’s just not really picking up yet
Grass here is just now starting to get green. Hope y’all get some rain soon.
We got some rain and I’m covered up
Thanks
I’ve never bought a mower in my 72 years
Just fix up what comes along
What’s a mower? Don’t have them here.
Where’s that?
@@TexasHillbilly the middle the desert.
@@TexasHillbilly where is the Texas hillbilly merchandise? :-)
All I have is decals. We do plan to have some shirts and hats made soon.
@@TexasHillbilly yep get them out. Demand is there. Haha
