Uncle Andy is making my back hurt.
thanks for the info .andy"s ready for a wheel chair mower
I was taught this method as lad over sixty years ago
To check the wear on the chain piviot pins.
Clean the chain thoroughly in Kerosene, Turpentine or gasoline
Drape it on a flat surface or the chain bar with the adjustment slackened off.
Push the links together to make it a short as possible.
Measure off 1 foot of slack chain and mark the chain on the foot.
Pull the chain apart to make it as long as possible.
Measure the length of the stretched chain.
If it is greater then 3/16 of an inch it is worn out.
No matter what length of pitch the chain is this apply to all piviot pin chains
A couple of months back, a co-worker gave me some lawnmowers his neighbor was abandoning. One of them was a -tiny- little (like 16") "SerVess", that looked new. Mower had no safety brake or any modern safety devices, so it had to be from the 80's.. He said "Guy said it never cut well" Flipped it over, yep, Blade was upside down. Oil change, replaced the primer bulb and air filter, flipped the blade over (still sharp!) and it's an awesome little slope mower.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Taryl I have video ideas for you, removal and install of decks from various mowers. Sometimes when I remove a deck it can take a while to put it back on cause it’s been a week
Andy's blade was so dull it wasn't even "whipping" the grass--it was "bludeoning" it.
I think I know why my 3 blade riding lawn tractor is cutting bad. I thought the deck was clogging, but the ends of my old blades are rounded off. New blade time !
Thanks Taryl !!
Great video guys, love watching.
My hydroscrapic Scariens was acting up last evening. I checked the muffkin, and the carbutrator, but they weren't the problem. I ended up searching the inter-screens, all the while wishing that Taryl had a hot line....turned out to be a stick that had popped the drive belt off the idlering pullet.
Happy Independence Day, Taryl, Andy and Elkskins! You guys are entertaining and educational.
Thank you sir. I just got my dinner served to me on the chain saw chain. I appreciate the how to videos. You and Jr and slip dog are the TH-cam kings in my book. 👍👍
Taryl, I repair mowers and my brother also repairs mowers n atvs on the side. I gotta say people underestimate the amount of work that goes into a business like this.. my main gig is a Technician that repairs atm machines alarms and time locks. I got to help work on the the alarms for the Smithsonian safeguarding the hope diamond and our company Dieboldnixdorf also maintains the vaults the Constitution and bill of rights is housed in. Dieboldnixdorf built the vaults.
But the amount of beer I drink and time I spend working to get these mowers working and looking like new is unbelievable. Hats off to you guys thanks for all your time you spend putting these great vids together. I have seen them all. Cheers
I'm not Dudley Do-Right, though I sharpen my rotary lawnmower blades to a knife edge sharpness before mowing any lawn. When looking at the cut blades of grass they are comparable to being cut with a reel mower. I marvel at how much advise there is out there for essentially mowing with a dull blade and a dull blade is any blade that is not as sharp as a knife. A reel mower might be good with a yearly sharpening that costs 100 dollars to have done properly. A rotary mower needs to be sharpened continually and the price of sharpening is next to nothing.
Pterodactyl people like you make it worth being on this planet keep them videos coming
Excellent information on mower blades and chainsaw change. Nice to see Uncle Andy again.
After years of bending Z’s with needle nose pliers, I finally bought a Z bender. Thanks Taryl for the fast shipping!
You should try a pair of Z-bender pliers.
Mind Blown
Best video yet! Learned a bit more about chains. Would like a part 2 on sharpening.
Love me some Uncle Andy!
Need more Junior though.
Much love out to my gear head brothers on this, our Independence Day!
God bless.
"Oooh". Uncle Andy. He has a way with words.
Thank you for doing your videos. I have learned a lot watching your channel.
Remember Uncle Andy, lift with your back, not your legs
Watching Uncle Andy bent over so long made my back sore!!!!.....Thanks for the great info!!!!
Great info from Taryl as always.
I LOVE UNCLE ANDY!! and the guy at Faryl’s that looks like him!!
and my Taryl teeth blades!!!
I find a lot of people tend to cut their lawns way too short I started the last two years only cutting my lawn to three and a half inches and has made it tremendous amount of improvement to my lawn and to my lawn mower blades.
Loving it here from Ireland 👋😎☘☘☘☘
Very helpful tips as always thanks ! Happy 4th !🎉
Happy "Happy Birthday America Day"! Thanks for the video Taryl, good to see Uncle Andy!
Here in Good Ol' England we call a 'Reel' mower a 'Cylinder' mower cos the blades are arranged like one . . .
Here in Argentina we call them 'Helicoidal'.
We call them “primitive “ because nobody around here uses those anymore.
Uncle Andy is a bolt of thespian brilliance !!!.. Slippers just keeps knocking them out of the park!!
Mention of a manual reel mower brings back a lot of BAD childhood memories.The mower we owned had to have been the hardest to push mower ever made. You had to get a run for the section of grass you wanted to cut and then after three or four feet of cutting you would have to stop and back up and get another run. No matter how hard I complained to my Dad, it fell on deaf ears. He would just laugh and say that it would put hair on my chest. Oh what a wonderful day when we got a new Sears & Roebuck gasoline powered rotary mower. The only drawback was that it was a devil to start, but once it started, it was a dream to mow grass. Oh those memories from yesterday years.
Thanks for the fuel transfer pumps ( purchased 4 ) they work like a charm! No more holding 5 gallon cans up to fill my mowers or my tractor!
Thank you!!
Very informative. Happy 4th!
Thanks Taryl!
I once had a customer weld new tips onto his bush hog blades to avoid paying for new blades so when Andy started talking about cutting blades that’s a more than accurate representation of most customers that we all think 😂
Oy vey! 😳
Great info
3:10 sharper blades still cut better and faster then dull ones.
Thank YOU! I’ve used a chainsaw since I was a teenager. Now I have one foot in the grave, but your video taught me several things about sharpening and inspecting a chainsaw chain as well as the saw. However, one thing that was not clear to me was about the “pitch” and in what manner it can “change”.
Thats is very good video thank you Taryl
@Taryl Fixes All --You have the patience of a saint. I've got real life Uncle Andys, and I'm not near as patient as you are explaining.
Uncle Andy works at Taryls brothers shop,Hes a real person,he’s been on here before.
The groove in the bar on the chainsaw is critical also. If it is worn wide, the cut may not be straight; it can be "squeezed" or carefully hammered back to proper width. Also, it needs to be filed/ground so it is square to the side of the bar. Good information on lawnmower blades and to see that Andy is doing okay too!
Enjoyed 👍
Uncle Andy you are a good actor👍
uncle Andy should have a cane.. It would look better
Thank You 😊
Thanks!
Here in Florida the sand destroys lawnmower blades. Every time you mow, it's like taking a sandblaster to your blades. You can sharpen one and it's dull 5 minutes into your next mow. I just replace them when they are worn and not cutting well.
Where were you 2 months ago when I couldnt figure out why my buddys chainsaw was cutting crooked!!!
Got info Taryl....👍👍👍
Happy Fourth of July everyone
Uncle Andy is the man
15:20 also if one side is full and the other is sharp that will also pull the chain.
Nice old Sears drill press Taryl.... I think I have the same one !!!!!
Good video
I just got a new duel blade for my honda mower. Is that a better up grade?
Thanks buddy for everything you guys do great videos have a wonderful 4th god bless all grass rats
I'm In a Blade Me up kind of mood Thanks' for the help
Nice little Suffolk engine on the bench
Taryl, one detail you didn’t cover was discarding a blade like one you showed that was wearing very thin in the curved area at the base of the wing going upwards. The blade shown already possibly threw off a chip and it’s only a matter of time before it launches a much larger section. This is a common wear area. Safety first or someone’s gonna eat some shrapnel!
Taryl, are you the one causing a shortage of common blades from rotary this year? Bet you are.
Festus eye!
Nice to see another Gunsmoke fan.
If you take a link out of the chain will that mess up your drive link count to where it doesn't .....never mind you just answered my question....Great video Thx
I switch to those Gators in the fall when I have to chop and bag leaves. They are super heavy and the cutting edge is straight... so it's easy to resharpen. This is a big deal because there is always sticks and nuts among the leaves. Probably the dry crunchy leaves are more abrasive too.
During the summer I use the twisty mulching blades because they mulch better.
cool
When the drive links are worn round but the cutters are still good on a saw chain i like to break the chain between the cutters to use as a rope saw to cut limbs from the ground without climbing ladders or the tree i have one that reaches 35 feet straight up for high limb cutting.
😂😂 lol great video 📸😀
Good one me old Mucker..
I need to move and apply for a job at Taryls garage!
What about balancing the mower blade when you sharpen it
he covers that in the video he mentions at the end
HEY TARYL, the tips of my blades are worn, can I cut a 1/4" x 1" piece out, weld it back in, and bring it to square again?
Is that a Suffolk engine at 0.44 on the bench...what's a SIF doing in Podunk USA ?
👍
Andy is awesome!! He's hilarious.
It’s always good to hear from Taryl. He’s always having to school that Slippers. What’s a matter with that guy?
what are the best blades for stripping?
A pole blade....they get better tips!
Show us that magnamatic balancer behind you in action
I'd like to see how you take a link out.
Something else that should have been mentioned is when the deck isnt cleaned the blade can rub on the debris and wear the length of the blade down, if you try replace the blade without cleaning the deck you may think the blade is the wrong size.
High lift blade are made for suckers >>> alligator blade for my lawn cutter
Uncle Andy Happy 4th surprised that you didn't have Taryl install a blade ;)_
That is true about the dirt and sand because the blade is made with spring steel chain saw chain chain hit the dirt ouch dull chain plus if you hit other things dul chain plus dul mower blade
We're does someone find a older clutch drum
I need a blade for an old Jacobsen J19
I use Mill bastard file... combined with Marvel Mystery Oil as a lubricant... and I get the mower blades on that Deere... dangerously Sharp... let me tell you right now Terrell... does she ever cut... cut well with minimum vibration.... same blades that were on it when I bought the thing in 2017 bought it with 450 hours on it... I cut an acre and a quarter..
i really like chill taryl, u need to smoke a bowl before Every episode :p
@Taryl Fixes Alll on a chain saw chain can you grind the burs off of the drivers, from where it has come off?
If you put the chain on kind of loose and run it for about 10 or 15 seconds all those burrs are gone and you retighten your chain and get back to work.....I do it all the time
I bought a blade that said lift up recently.
Wow. The most? 🧤
🇺🇸
First I've seen on checking the corner of the blade! This just be the case with me cos I've never checked. I have a two-blade Murray 11ic/36 and three-blade Viking MT 6112 C. If I recall correctly none of the blades are 90° sharp at the corners but I'd like Mr Carbutrator to show a series of angles close up, going from brand new to different levels of wearing out to worn out. Prompted by this I'll waste some more time seeing if anyone else on the Interscreen has tackled this.
Merci beaucoup from fascist france.
Watch out for Stihl chains they attack. I had a Stihl chain that was sharpened once lose a pin and hit me right in the nee joint.
I know that feeling. I had a loose pin in mine and didn't know it. The chain broke and i spent 3 hours in surgery and almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It took me a while before i touched any chainsaw again
i definitely know about this, i had a pin come out, and the chain took my left thumb off, 2 separate 3 hour surgeries and a plastic knuckle later, i have 90% use, and the back side is numb, but thankful i didn't lose it
I don't like those wavy mulching blades. Hard to sharpen and bend easy. High lift blades mow good and are required for bagging, but they can really kick up the dust. The Gator blades I've bought were thick and worked good on mower used around the fence line on the farm.
Thin blades I'll use a 4 1/4 grinder but a Cub Cadet with thick blades use file. (Lift on return stroke or will dull file). Then balance, very important.
Sharping chainsaw I clamp in vice, level bar and after sharping first tooth, paint it with bright red fingernail polish. So when comes back around, know I got them all. Then turn saw around & do the opposite side teeth
Always wear eye protection and gloves. Any questions consult your local Grass Rat.
I miss the real uncle Andy. Always try to save a buck with imposter Uncle Andy.
"Some people put the blade on upside down and it doesn't cut very well." LOL
Gotta admit I didn't know about all the chopper vs. lifter for bagging blades.
yeah it may be a crazy idea, but I usually put a B on the bottom of the blade to show which way it goes on when I put it back together after sharpening them.
usually use a sharpie marker
Shout out to “slip dog” and his XR-75.🏍🏍
I’ve always thought that ragged grass = a dull blade.
Now all we need is some friggin’ RAIN!!
Sufffolk 75G hell yeah, Taryl, now there's your dinner
uncle andy got that hunch from looking for a 10mm too long
whip it real good
