Fantastic video. I feel you have completed the overhaul on that mower that we all would love to do. Great informative narration and it's great to see you taking so much pride in your work. Thanks for sharing.
So happy to see another video uploaded. I never watch really long ones. 20 minutes is about my limit. But when I saw it was yours I knew right away I would watch every second. I’ll be supporting your patron after the holidays most definitely
You know in this world you have people who can , and people who cant. I am the latter but watching people like you is how even if we pick up one little thing from you then its all very worthwhile , and its how we learn. So thank you for sharing your informative video with us Sir 👍 Tam.
Awesome work. Your videos help me get through my night shift. Every night I log in and hope there is a new video on your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thorough job, well done. I've had a Countax K14 twin since new in 1993. Every year it needs attention and something renewed, but I wouldn't have anything else. New ones don't seem anywhere near built so well.
Together with a brilliant auto mechanic friend I produced a series of DVDs on classic car engine rebuilds, so I salute you for the amount of time and professionalism it took to shoot and edit this. Bravo. It was a pleasure to watch. Just one minor criticism: this is a British machine filmed in Britain - it's a silencer, not a muffler 🧐.
Thank you for the all videos l like your restoring videos , survival challenge, and survival role-play. You put a lot of time in them and I much Appreciate them thanks again
From an engineering perspective I think those chain brushes are actually quite ingenious. Most American designers would find them crude but I say if something works then you go with it. It's nice to get a close look at this machinery. Thank you for the post.
i like your videos they are straight to the point no dilly dallying like some fix it videos on here i'm about to do a couple of ride on mowers myself so these havee inspired me . then i might source a couple more to fix up as well cheers ..
I have never heard of it or even seen one like here in seven mile Ohio USA But I love how the mower deck throws out the front and rear. Job well done my friend!! Really great video quality too.
Great job must be very satisfying to get these machines running considering the shape that you get them in, this ride one looks like a very good one and I suppose that it would have been expensive new. Love watching you channel and always look forward to the next instalment kind regards John Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Well done, love the b-roll footage of the geese. Yeah I don't know that I've ever seen a Countax here in the US, but if it runs on a Honda engine, we probably have it under a different name. Great video, love watching renovations.. Jimmy
That was both very nicely done and a joy to watch this refurbishing project. The only problem I see is you now have to build a bigger powder coating oven so you can bake an entire lawn mower chassis. I love to powder coat but so many times my typical kitchen converted oven won't allow me to powder coat large items. Thumbs Up for sure...
Excellent work! Just wondering why your vids haven't been recommended to me before in the last 5yrs. i have been watching this sort of stuff, nice to see a fellow Brit doing this for a change, liked the occasional nature shot, squadrons of Geese, needless to say, i have of course, SUBSCRIBED!
Awesome how it looks, and the amount of work you put in to them. I would love to do that to some of them, but health won’t let me. Keep up the good work.
Very nicely done, sir. You inspire me to freshen up my Swisher Big Mow. To answer your question we do not have that brand here in the US. Not that I've seen anyway.
PA LAWN GUY> Great video. Painting the cutting blades improves the aerodynamics of the blade and hence the grass flow. It also reduces the power needed to turn them. At least until they build up with adhered grass. that is why it is best to clean and paint the blades when they are sharpened and balanced. the best to you in your work.
these are nice mowers so very useful to see work done on them,, it did not warrant a full resto but there was enough done to make it serviceable with confidence for a good many years nice one,,,,
I can't believe the amount of work you did on that tractor. Amazing job. I've never heard of that brand before in Canada. Looks built very tough for its size. Might not be the most easily serviceable but that is secondary to having something that can last. 👍
Nice looking machine, great job, love the occasional nature shots, haven't heard of this machine here in Australia, but that doesn't mean they're not here, i have a Craftsman with the 500cc Briggs. Thanks, nice video.
Love these long vids ,I totally appreciate it takes a long time to make though,if you can hang in there Daggerwin you will be right up there with Mustie1👍👍
I live in a village in North Yorkshire UK we have this exact mower for the village green... there’s lots of them over here a proper work horse, nice job by the way
The webbing structure on the gear box @ 46:25 is a work of engineering art. Btw Great videos and good you care about the environment...perhaps when temporarily sealing things, use an elastic band rather than plastic ties?
My 38" 16hp Countax must be over 25 years old and still going strong, being used every week.The powered collector is, in my opinion, a much better option for the UK over the mulching deck, as we get massive grass growth and tons of leaves and debris all over our lawns due the the amount of trees we have. I always coat exposed aluminum in motor oil to stop it corroding, I know it attracts muck but after a few uses it isn't noticeable and it really protects the aluminium. I am still on the original belts apart from the serpentine deck belt and the powered collector !! (just wait for the comments on that one) Nice Video, brilliant production - you must have the patience of a saint!
Ha Ha same tractor for me as well and almost identical age! Burnt out a few serpentine belts cutting 2 foot high grass when we have been away for months and have just replaced the starter solonoid. I have re-painted the underside of the deck twice and I also use spray on underseal. This wears off after a few years but I am cutting 1.9 acres most weeks. My 16HP is a single cylinder B&S but it seems most are twins.
I Did A Restoration Of My Countax C800H. Including Deleting The Electric Deck Lift Which Went Wrong 3 Times. And Decided To Convert It To A Manuel Deck Lift. As It Was Very Expensive The Dial-Height Module Etc. But Ive Owned 4 Countax Mowers And Think There Fab Love Your Videos.!!
That was nice of the equipment company to give you the press for your shop that is a nice looking ride on feild and brush mower glad it has a Honda engine on it the mower you work on in today's video is arien mower company in here in the USA
I have a C600H purchased new 2008 with 16 hp Honda V twin OHC has 305 Hrs still looks good and stored in side has 38" mulch deck and was converted to hand control with a mobility scooter seat (high back & arm rests 90° seat rotation with locking mech. seat belt and chest strap) I'm a C7 Tetraplegic and my Countax has never let me down still has original battery. I live in West Otago South Island New Zealand Have a Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year
Hi! Very good job indeed! We have a Countax C600 (I think...) in Italy, it's exactly the same, just with different engine, the 16cv twin cyl Honda! Thank you but thank you very much... now I have a complete video service manual for it! By the way this is one of the best mower I've ever seen: we have it from 2002 (has been produced in 2001...) and it's now in better condition than yours! We clean it everytime and take it in a closed garage but it works a lot every year... from 18 years!
Great job mate it would be awesome to see you on micks mowers Live stream on the 19th there's a awesome line up of small engine channels gonna be there but I know your very busy running both of you channels keep the awesome content coming im in the middle of building my shed /workshop to carry on fixing mowers etc 😀
nice video . i have a c300 and always good to use these videos to see how to fix things and change things if you don't have a manual . your cutting deck leveler is different though and looks a newer machine than mine 1997
I'm from Kentucky, USA an I probably see 2-6 different riding mowers every week and I've never seen a mower quite like this one. It's a cool mower, almost looks like a older Kubota or snapper
I have a newer countax with a different deck but basically the same spindles as this. I did this overhaul back in the Autumn due to noise in the bearings - wish I'd seen this video earlier ! This looks like a HGM (High Grass Mulch) deck. On the XRD deck I have it is welded still as opposed to pressed, so this deck seems to have been ravaged by rust.
Well done, have to say my ocd would make me go even further but this was really good. Seen so many people just half ass the job. Had a Husquarna top of the range with 122 cm mower deck and atwin 22 hp Kawa engine and hydro +hydraulik lift of front deck and sevo of course. still running strong after 20 years though I sold it when I moved into a flat. I look like inspector dreyfuss in a pink panther movie when I see it and it is not cared for as I did. Believe it is the same gearbox/axle, the tough torq they both used back then.
I would enjoy accomplishing this project myself except threading the chain. I am wondering if a strip of perforated mettle would work as well. I know the area needs to breath air. What do you think, or any other thoughts?
ah my fav countax!!!! i have 2 of them ! will have a few beers 2nite watching this :) im still on the look outside for a good condition 38" contra deck! hard to find nowadays
I just about crapped myself when you put the key in it and started it up and drove it off the off the delivery pallet, and it says can it be saved. Well hell yes. As far as the working parts go wasn't too bad when you get one that runs like that you're going to have to replace some stuff but that's the way it goes. The problem with these highly produced mowers, lies within the Developers bearings that can't be greased all the older equipment seemed to always be built different better oh, we live in a throwaway world. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the video and you do really nice work I've seen a few of your videos and I like what I see. But for a guy that takes and pays so much attention to detail especially like on this one one thing you didn't do I wonder if you can guess? That's right the steering wheel is crooked. You will never not in a million years make me believe that with the wheel straight your cross bars are at 7 and 2 or two and seven however you want to look at it please fix that. LMAO. Anyway you stay safe stay well and as always God bless.
I´ts such a relief to see that someone is actually taking proper care of the mower deck, and not only the rest like a lot of "cheap" Americans do. This is a MOWER, not an engine with a seat and four wheels to ride around your fat gut. Well done!
Can we all appreciate how much time goes into these videos along with making the vids for the Daggerwin channels 👍👍😉
Glad you like them!
It would be nice to see it working out in your tree field.
Absolutely! Dag started in shorts and t-shirt and finished with a wooly hat, warm fleece and trousers!
What a restore job mass amounts of time in that one ☝️ well done 👏, from Scotland
WAIT,..>WHAT.,,, HE DOES MORE VIDEOS?

Great restore. You really do a great job saving and rebuilding these items. Really enjoyed watching.
Awesome restoration, good complete front to rear service, nice tidy work and very enjoyable to watch.

Great job as always buddy. My next project is definitely gonna be a mower thanks to you!
Huge amount of time and effort but the mower looks great. Man, that powder-coat! I wish I had a set-up for that. Such a beautiful finish after baking.
Thorough job, well done. I've had a Countax K14 twin since new in 1993. Every year it needs attention and something renewed, but I wouldn't have anything else. New ones don't seem anywhere near built so well.

A lot of us find dry ice to be a great help installing bearings and shafts. It shrinks the diameter a couple thousands, parts drop in.
Top notch video! Watched from beginning to end! Great to see someone do good work!
Thank you for the all videos l like your restoring videos , survival challenge, and survival role-play. You put a lot of time in them and I much Appreciate them thanks again
What a wonderful video. I enjoyed every miniute of it. You can be very proud going round the garden using it.
This is a channel that i really appreciate! I'm a restorer aswell but i work with Chainsaws! 😄 Keep making great content my friend!
Nice video, liked the way you just kept on going with the restoration. Keep up the good work. From Washington state.

Also Ohio I use zero turn mowers myself.

Love your channel mate...your detail to these machines makes them much better than new!
Wow at that brush hog deck none of our smaller lawn mowers have that option here in the USA and Great work on restoring it!
Great video and I look forward to the next one. I never miss one you do an amazing job on every machine!

Awesome how it looks, and the amount of work you put in to them. I would love to do that to some of them, but health won’t let me. Keep up the good work.
Just subbed, and rang the bell, I must say, wow, was awesome to watch the amount of work you do, very well done..... Greetings from across the pond.
Another excellent video. I learn something in every one I’ve watch.
That’s a good engine! Had one on a old walk behind 48 inch deck belt drive sips fuel! Was excellent on fuel
No countax here in Canada. Thanks for the video, always watch but never really comment. Cheers.
Very nicely done, sir. You inspire me to freshen up my Swisher Big Mow. To answer your question we do not have that brand here in the US. Not that I've seen anyway.

I also welded those top and bottom slots between the front axle and the king pin sleeves, after one started splitting down the weld.

You want the underside of the mower deck as glass smooth as possible to make as few areas for the grass cuttings to build up.
Outstanding work! Make it your Sunday go to meeting Lawn tractor.

Your very welcome , guess I’ll keep my comments to my self , you do Avery good video and I learned some things. Thanks.
Another great video, nice job on the renovation!
Looks good as new, great job, thanks for sharing.
I really love these mowers that spit out the mulch from the back. I never see this feature on Canadian mowers.
Quite interesting the massive design differences from the snapper LT12 I just picked up or pretty much any lawn tractor sold in the US
Excellent job I really appreciate everything you did
Nice job on the riding mower it running like new
I would enjoy accomplishing this project myself except threading the chain. I am wondering if a strip of perforated mettle would work as well. I know the area needs to breath air. What do you think, or any other thoughts?
I like the way you clean the machine where you bring them to the inside the shop
Incredible. I wish I had your skills and talent.
I enjoy all your video keep up the good work
Just seeing this video for the 1st time. Every time i sharpen my mower blades i use the wire wheel on a bench grinder before i sharpen them
Great job it looks fabulous
well thats something i aint seen in a long time. last time i saw them was in eary 90s when my step dad was doing the tooling for the light lenses.
ah my fav countax!!!! i have 2 of them ! will have a few beers 2nite watching this :) im still on the look outside for a good condition 38" contra deck! hard to find nowadays
*Well done.* Very enjoyable to watch.
I just about crapped myself when you put the key in it and started it up and drove it off the off the delivery pallet, and it says can it be saved. Well hell yes. As far as the working parts go wasn't too bad when you get one that runs like that you're going to have to replace some stuff but that's the way it goes. The problem with these highly produced mowers, lies within the Developers bearings that can't be greased all the older equipment seemed to always be built different better oh, we live in a throwaway world. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the video and you do really nice work I've seen a few of your videos and I like what I see. But for a guy that takes and pays so much attention to detail especially like on this one one thing you didn't do I wonder if you can guess? That's right the steering wheel is crooked. You will never not in a million years make me believe that with the wheel straight your cross bars are at 7 and 2 or two and seven however you want to look at it please fix that. LMAO. Anyway you stay safe stay well and as always God bless.
Countax mowers are expansive but very good, look at the quality ( grade) of the hydrogear trans for a small 13 Hp unit! nice job.
Wonderful work!
Keep them coming, great job!
I´ts such a relief to see that someone is actually taking proper care of the mower deck, and not only the rest like a lot of "cheap" Americans do. This is a MOWER, not an engine with a seat and four wheels to ride around your fat gut. Well done!
