So my hot date asked me what I did today over dinner, I told her "I watched some guy clean a lawn mower". Never seen someone so confused, hope she will call me back.
Women
Paint Asylum facts
😂😂
I am a woman & grew up repairing lawnmowers w/my brother & mowing lawns for extra cash. I watched this to check out the mechanicals of these newer mowers.
Well, did she call you back???
With the retirement of the neighborhood guy who could ix anything, someone had to step in. Videos like yours and others really help me. Since April I've found or be given five mowers, saving 3 and 1/2 of them. The 1/2 is a work in progress. Narragansett Bay.
My neighbor showed up a week ago with a 1988 Lawnboy mower. It is electric start and has the bagger. I noticed the plastic plate was snapped and the rod for supporting the bag is missing but honestly, a trip to the homedepot for a piece of metal rod works. I am doing to epoxy the plastic plate together after pinning it together. I was shocked at this mowers over all condition. Other than some paint touch ups and I sharpened the blade. The battery reads 12.35, so its eather been replaced or its a miracle. I am going to hit goodwill for a wall wort charger because the charger wasnt with it. I think it must have a self charging system. I am always amazed at how long a two cycle mower will last over todays crap. I may even sell my Honda Harmony and keep this old smoky stover! If I cannot sell it, I think I will keep it. I can still get parts for it too.
I did the same thing with a weed eater the other day been left out in the rain for 2 yrs. Cleaned the carb and to my surprise it ran. Good job man hope the mower lasts a long time for ya.
Nice!!
a quick wipe down and the thing looks brand new!
The old stuff is better than the cheap plastic replicates they push nowadays. SAVE THEM ALL !
Nice video 😃 wish more people would do this to machines instead of buying a new.
Great job.
Thanks.
First step for me would have been..check oil. Second step compression test and spark test. Woulda sucked to spend all the time and material to clean a roached mower. Cool video. Been fixing 4 strokes since I was like 8-9 with my dad. Carb cleaning, freshy gas and perhaps a new timing key installed.
Yea, true. Thanks for viewing!
This mower looks almost new, only very dirty and poorly maintained. Almost no rust, no scratches, no paint damage... That’s anything but a restoration.
Wrong...used touch up-paint, cleaned and sharpened blade, changed oil (off camera) took apart carb, cleaned and checked it. Read pinned comment. Thanks for watching.
That mower might have had a half tank of gas run thru it and then sat for a few years. 125 dollars brand new but still for free and easy fix. Good stuff
when they find a way to manufacture polymers that can resist the heat and pressures of combustion they will make the entire block out of plastic crap. they are heading in that direction, they already make the aluminum castings cheaper and thinner then ever.
always wanted to see the insides of a mower
Well, you know what to do. Get an old mower and take it apart! Have fun!
I saved a riding mower which had a blown head gasket that was free was a year old and cost 25 bucks to fix with all parts including oil
Yes
Really enjoyed! Thanks for posting!
Enjoyed watching this. It just needed some TLC. Thanks for speeding up the video. It would have been too long if you didn't.
Mostly cause most new lawn mowers come with self propelled and our baggers. So a lot of these end up scrapped. That and Most small engine guys I know hate Brigs because the quality is just not there anymore.
Wish you were here. Got this Big John Deer riding mower that won’t start and I’d give it to you. We are not mechanically inclined & pretty sure it’s salvageable and hate to junk it... but... going to have to.
I'll take it! ;)
Nathan Rohrbough Come and get it... Seattle :)
Well done! (Now, wear some nitrile gloves when working with those engine fluids!)
you don't get man hands by wearing gloves..
I have this fetish of watching grown men disassemble lawn mower motors
I have a mower like that they run forever
Nice!!
Muito legal :)
HORRIBLE music. besides that, great video.
Ok Thnaks!
What was wrong with it?
What a cheaply made carb. First time I've run across a plastic bodied carb on a mower.
Right!
use some of that degreaser on yo shoes Holmes...
I feel sorry for people with no mechanical ability. They miss out on that feeling of satisfaction, and accomplishment that comes from a job well done.
Boss Comment!
Nobody is born with mechanical ability per se.. Some people are just incredibly lazy or not interested. Anyone can be handy if they put effort into it and want to learn for themselves.
I bet you love taking huge dumps and read the paper you bitch nigga
I wish there was a school I could attend that showed us how to do a tune up an oil change how to fix basic electrical problems how to assemble a car engine and a lawn mower Edger etc...but no..there are TH-cam videos showing me instead but I won't learn electrical c rap on TH-cam I electrocuted myself last year ...lol.,but I'm still fixing my own stuff...I'm a widower with one of six children left to raise...so fingers crossed I don't get bad directions on anything I fix from here on out lol.
Andy Lucas Couldn’t agree more. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have a father that was handy and took the time to teach me a few things. Today it seems too many fathers aren’t in the home and those that are don’t take the time to teach their children how to do things. Just another reason why I believe schools need to bring back shop class. Anyway, Nathan great video thanks for sharing.
Looks like a lightly use mower that someone threw dirt on.
I agree
By 'someone' you mean the uploader right?
There is no rust, or chips in the paint, or scratches. I call fake
@@jeremyparke7066 You haven't met some of the know nothings that live in surburbia these days!
Murray is the house brand at Wal-Mart. Most likely, someone ran this for a few seasons, left it out in the rain for a few winters and then either left it after they left the property that they were renting or took it to the scrap yard.
I work on small engines and you'd be amazed what people throw away just because they can't figure out how to clean a carb..thanks for the vid
You are soooooooo right! ;D
I've found about 3 with broken blades. Only one of those had sheered its flyw key.
5 minute job
True. However, not every lawn and garden equipment are "gems". Higher priced equipment tends to have more quality and more likely people will take care of it and have it repaired. People by "cheap" and you get what you pay for and just dump it. I have seen videos of newer equipment and repair. Complete junk, made in China with plastic internal engine parts. Not worth it.
And that is why I spent 2 years at a school for small engine repair and best part my highschool payed for it
you should find a free pressure washer, it would cut down on your clean up time
He did, he has a video on a Troy-Bilt one. Though you wouldn't want to power wash a lawn mower because water would likely get into places it shouldn't. The air brush he used was perfect for the job.
@@TheDylanmorrison it's a lawn mower worth 50 bucks a little water isn't going to damage it
Well, it might actually damage it, but since it's only worth 50 bucks, it wouldn't matter too much... to most people.
@@TheDylanmorrison only way it could be damaged is if it got into the carb witch is covered
My husband does this too. Amazing what people throw away where we live. Too much money and no mechanical skills. He saves them, fixes them and sells them. Same with bikes.
I know right!!
Does everyone on TH-cam get their background music from 1970s era porn movies??
Yes, its sooooo relaxing!
Nathan Rohrbough 😂😂👍
And mustaches
With a good bottle of lotion.
Probably from the free music catalog that youtube provides
FYI: Oil and blade cleaning was done off camera. Wanted to keep video from getting long. Maybe next time I'll include it in future videos
YAAY! A-PLUS!
Yes i would like to see that
personally, i like the videos where you're talking, i learn more about how these things work. getting ready to tackle my first mower restore soon.
What did you spray at the end to help it start?
@@robertbowers2190 is sprayed carb cleaner to help it start
The neighbor threw one away last week. It was newer than mine. I thought about grabbing it and at least swapping decks. Now I wish I had at least pulled the cord. He seemed to have more money than sense. It probably just needed a carb clean.
Me and my uncle use to pick up lawn equipment we found on Craigslist and what not for free. Most were nothing more then debris gunked up carb or the pull string recoil. Shame that's a easy fix and people just toss them out.
I just picked one up a week ago that someone put out on the street. I haven't tried this before, but I hope it works out.
It's a Briggs sure it will run again. Good job fixing it up.
paint the wheels gold and lower it.
Put air shocks on it and bounce the front end as you mow.
@@richardhatt6541 lol
Put a loud, rude horn on too. 🔊📣🎶📡
Flame paint job.
Man, just take the wheel's off and throw them away you don't need them !
My guess is bad gas left from previous year. Use it up at end of season. Buy new gas in spring
It really is amazing how many people don't run the fuel out of their machines at the end of the season. But, good for me because I always get their stuff for cheap, and it costs me a $3.00 bottle of carb cleaner and 10 minutes.
@@engineknock5040 run the engine until it smokes from the sta-bil. That way you know the fuel in the carb is treated too.
I had no idea, or never seen a plastic carb! Made it look so easy motor man! Great video and sound track was hitting too!
You should have a look at Victa carbs. All plastic, and my dad had them since the 80s.
Rather than pry up the jets (the white parts) with a screwdriver, go into the throat and push down. Then you don't scratch or gouge anything.
Plastic carbs were a ahing with Briggs in the 80´s already, however they were ok back then. The got very crappy around 1990/1991 when the put the primer on. Now they are even worse.
Yeah that is odd.. first plastic carb I’ve seen as well.. the Briggs and Stratton sticker made me pretty confident that it’d run again.
Same here, I've worked on these engines since the 60's, if it really is a Briggs I've never had a problem getting them running again. I also learned SEA FOAM gas stabilizer. Keeps the gas from gumming up the carburetor. The 4 on the engine cover, what is that supposed to mean, certainly not 4.5 hp? That is one big motor for such a small piece of crap Murray... but I would gladly rebuild that machine, and use it for the next 20 years, bought my last mower in 1987, I've thought about changing the oil once, but I went and sat down instead. The air filter is a different story, they crumble at some point, don't want that to get into the carb. The first time I used the brand new mower I hit a rock and it clunked for a couple of years. I finally thought I might have bent the blade. Replaced the blade runs perfectly. I have sheared the flywheel key once and replaced it. The next time I sheared the key, I just moved the flywheel back into place tighten the nut, that was about 5 years ago. I keep thinking one day I might have to move that flywheel again, don't think I will ever buy another key for it. It works better to just not hit things with it.
A can of engine start sure does wonders. Great video. I enjoyed just watching you clean up that Made in the USA mower. Don't even look like the same mower.
Thnaks!!
I love watching someone give a neglected, rejected "thing" the TLC it need to become fully functioning and useful again.
I do the cleaning last in case it isn’t repairable
Doing this just for fun, this is my favorite kind of mower. Treated like hell and abused and then you make it all happy . . . and it doesn't bite you, the way puppies do, who have gone through the same thing.
Rather than pry up the carburetor jets (the white parts) with a screwdriver, go into the throat and push down. Then you don't scratch or gouge anything.
I dont know how you treat your puppies but most of us treat them decent
I usetoo junk them,but way more money to be made by fixing and selling them
I'm a 12 year old kid and I love this kind of thing GREAT VIDEO ☺
@@trackeroutdoors06 good luck and hope you acheive it but try and find a small engine that is lateral shaft and not horizontsl. Good luck
Nathan Anderson I have a 125cc 4 stroke lawn mower engine that i am going to put on a shopping kart.
Nathan Anderson I love playing video games and making videos on my channel. I’m currently rebuilding the engine then I’m gonna weld some stuff on the shopping kart and hopefully it will work. How is your bike coming on?
Nobody cares what age you are.
Monokuma no one asked u to comment
It is a sickness. I do the same thing..
Frunk Leduch as do I, now have 7 in the yard.
Same here I just got a free snowblower from a relative who no longer wanted before that to antique Rototillers for free
For free and antique are my favorite words and together there twice as nice
Spirit of the wolf Bush Wiccan if it has Briggs it’ll run 👌
The best one I have is a 40+ year old snow blower with a 6 hp Tecumseh. After changing the magneto and resetting the timing (points and condenser), it runs like a clock.
I haven't bought a mower in years either. I get all brands out of the trash and 99% work.
Ditto, got one yesterday. The twist is, no work required, not even cleaning. Just put gas and there was oil already filled up. Started on first try, first pull. Happens so often for me.
@@ahmedhusseinny yeah I've come across those as well. I've gotten mowers from people who said it doesn't run. I take it home and it starts right up.
i have 10 mowers (most vintage) that i got for free. my friend bought a brand new one 4 years ago and it worked for 1 year and he let it sit out with gas, it has been sitting for 3 years. i might rescue it soon.
I have a yardworks, briggs, that was given to me. My mother upgraded,so I took it off her hands. She had it for 9 years, then Ive had it for 8 years. Ive never changed the spark plug, only put oil in it once, and never cleaned the carb. Use reg gas, and I have always left it outside everyday during those years. Good old Canadian cold winters.
Guess what, it starts with a prime on first pull everytime. Blows my mind. I also run over branches that stall it out, rocks, etc. Never sharpen the blade either. Shes a unicorn 👍.
Nice!!!
Glad that your doing these mower repairs. The local shop charges the price of a basic power mower for a "tune up" , which is probably fair. If I do it myself, I'm in for parts, aggravation, oil, aggravation, injury, aggravation, but I'll get there eventually. Thank you and Bruce Pender. Narragansett Bay
But the satisfaction of fixing something feels good! Just take pictures as you disassemble things, go slow, and you'll get the results eventually!
I done this type of thing to a early 90s weed eater and it still runs today powerfull beast that can still compete with today's equipment, thanks carnt wait to watch more thank you
Your video is awesome but please let your man guard down and save your ✋ by wearing gloves please. With skills like your's the least I hate to see are hands burned by some type of chemical. Keep those hands smooth for the lady's brother.
You made that thing look brand new before even trying to fix it! Good for you
Did you do an oil change I hope?
Awesome video! I love doing the same thing.
You have a new sub! 🦅🇺🇸
Nice!!
I visit the scrap yard and do the same thing lol. I can't come up with a better reason than it's relaxing, keeps my mind busy, and you kind of get attached to each project! At least I do lol. Great video and thanks for sharing.
So true!
There are so many people that give away or throw away lawnmowers scooters cars... Or give for chocolate
When you see plastic carbs, the industry is telling us all one thing. Cordless units are taking over, so let’s make the gas engines as cheap as we can. For their days are numbered! Great video by the way!!
Have you seen the plastic camshafts and gears inside these junk engines?
Pro1er China ran out of steel. LOL
Al Gorel plastic carburetors are not new. I’ve seen them in the 70s on lawnboy mowers. Even on the older “good” Briggs engines and they still work. The idea is they are not prone to corrosion.
Pro1er they’ve been doing that for decades. I hardly see these engines fail because of that.
Only see plastic on residential, homeowner type mowers. Want heavy duty look into commercial grade.
Never take a carb off always always try fresh fuel first and see if it will go also try easy start to get it off the ground if no luck then go to the carb
but in most instances better just to get a new carb very cheap I get mine from China never fails even on Honda engines have done
4 mowers now and all ok still I cut grass for a living so my mowers work hard still no problem !!!!!!!!!!!thank you ................
Nice!~
Hi, never mind the critics, you put together a good video with no time wasted and clearly showing all your stages. I've rescued lots of stuff like this that people throw away and I have stopped being surprised at their wastefulness now.That carb is a new one on me so thanks very much for sharing. Best regards from an old geezer in Ireland.
Well with this virus keeping me home I've been able to finally get to my pile of free stuff I've collected over the last five years. After going through the mess and cleaning up various stuff like mowers, tractors, tillers, ect. I've made over $3500.00 in the last month selling those unwanted trashed items and it really helped offset the lack of income I've had to experience due to the stay at home orders. Bonus was getting the barn cleaned out for a new batch of thrown away stuff that nobody bothers to clean or repair.
Heck yea!!
Run with it! $3500 is a nice start
Those carbs are well designed even if they are plastic and easy to work on ...Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great!
another old 90 year old man in a wheel chair selling to you for $100. get it home,every time you try to start it, takes 18 pulls.....the worst, all your neighbors are laughing.
Nice video. As long as the shaft isn't bent, all the rest is pretty easy to fix. You can buy new carbs on E-Bay for less than 10 bucks. They work great and all parts inside are new. Just a thought.
Yea that was my biggest concern. But it worked out great! Thanks for watching!
Just so you will know, Nathan, and your viewers as well, at 15:54 in your video I watched you spray what appears to be carburetor cleaner into your mower's engine. There is nothing wrong with using a small amount of carburetor cleaner to "jump start" an engine that has been sitting for a while or that has a relatively dry carburetor. The only problem I saw here, however, is that you sprayed it into the wrong orifice. You sprayed the cleaner into the PCV tube coming off the engine block. I am certain you meant to spray the cleaner into the carburetor bore. The carburetor bore is slightly below the half way mark, vertically speaking, and on the left side of the primer bulb. The air filter basket partially hides this opening from view and you must spray into it from an angle coming from the left side. I would imagine the engine went ahead and started because the time you took to spray more than likely gave the carburetor bowl the extra few seconds it needed to finish filling up completely. I would also recommend you remove any and all rubber parts from any carburetor you are attempting to clean before you use any type of carburetor cleaner on it because carburetor cleaner will cause rubber parts to swell, and in some cases, to distort badly. As a rule this is not so much a problem with this particular carburetor, however, if you do this on the metal carburetors you may well be creating unnecessary problems and added expenses for yourself.
For the most part, sir, you have made a good video and it is inspiring to see someone rescue a piece of machinery which has been prematurely and unnecessarily discarded. Keep up the good work , sir, and ...
May the love and peace of Jesus Christ be yours.
One of the best restoration videos I’ve seen. Really enjoyed it. Thank you!
;D
The mower is thanking you, for giving it a chance, unlike the person that threw it away.
not a fan of background music and text in these type of videos. just my .02 cents
Many people just run them till the spark plug stops working.
They put gas in them over and over, Never changing the oil, never changing the air filter.
They just run them till they wont start.
I have got many old lawn mowers running after people throw them away.
One had me stumped.
It had black sludge clogging the muffler pipe.
I took the head off, and the engine was filled with black sludge.
After i cleaned it out, It started right up.
I do this to supplement my income. I get average of $100 for them. Have 20 in my yard to fix when I get a chance. Mow lawns too and carry 2 with me
Yup when mowing lawns you gotta have a spare in case of break down. That only seems to happen far away from the shop on the other side of town though...
People throw away loads of perfectly fine things that just need a little attention and care. The hard part is intercepting the item before they throw it out. I'd love to get me a free "non-working" generator, but around here, not many people have generators to begin with so they're not in high supply. Plenty of free push mowers. Even beat up non-running riding mowers aren't typically free here, but again, plenty of free push mowers. I got mine for free.
Right, even if it needs just a dusting off... its still free!
Can't believe people throw old mowers away; they're so easy to fix. Even if you don't need a mower they're still good for a few bucks or a backup etc.🤪
Did you notice that he sprayed the starting fluid in the crankcase vent and not the carburetor inlet?
It also says pump primer 3x not 6 to 12 the reason it didn't start the 1st time is it was flooded. 3 to 5x never over 5x even on empty tank
Hummmmm lets find some good though...It now looks great and runs perfect! Now was that soooooo hard to say? Have a great day!
Sounded pretty darn good when it got started. Excellent job, it was cool to watch. Thanks
Nice! I do the same thing as a retirement hobby...sell them on craigs for 20 or 30 bucks......it is usually a carb prob like you had, but I have had two of them so far that have been overfilled with oil...oil pissing out the mufflers...locking up one of the engines........both ran fine after a proper oil change......people in my town leave them at the curb for trash day..
Great work my friend! I know too many people that would either A) throw money at someone to do simple repairs for them or B) just toss it out. As others have said, it pays to learn about your equipment
Guess I'll be doing some more soon:)
Strong work - my only criticism would be that I'd rather hear you mumbling to yourself as you work on it than the music. Even the background 'noise' of the birds and bees would be an improvement.
I've often thought of finding these things, fixing them, and selling them either to kids needing summer work in their neighborhood or giving them to people that need a job instead of seeing them stand at intersections holding signs. Of course, some of those guys don't want a job or work, just the cash, but I'm sure one or two would take a free mower.
I wish I could work that fast.
Coffee, black, thick.
Roscoe Someone timelapse dude!
Great JOB, Well Done. Another One Saved From The Scrap Yard. People Don't Realize That There Are A Lot Of Good Parts On These , Even If You Don't Get Them Running. A Lot Of Valuable Parts That Us Mower Mechanics Would Love To Have Available In Case We Can't Buy These Parts At A Later Date. You Should Never Throw These Away If You Fix Mowers
Truth!!
That was really satisfying watching you fix that ! Well done dude 🤙
So I wouldn't do this for a rotary mower but I've had an 800 square foot bentgrass putting green in my backyard for 6 years now and I've rebuilt a couple Toro GreensMaster 1000 reel mowers over that time. Not free, I paid $200-$250 for them but given they run $12-$13k new it was nothing. Finally this year I bought a 2016 GreensMaster 1000 for $2200 from a Toro retailer and it's gorgeous. I like tinkering but when you're cutting 1/4" and lower you've got to be precise.
Nice!!
I have a 52 year old BOBCAT** the bed is made out of 3/8 and 1/2 aluim. steel wheels with grease fittings//carb rebuilt, new org.
yellow/orange paint job and new decals* looks and runs like new.**DR KEL
YES HELL YEAAAAH!!! . I def would do that. I hunt for them all the time on the day before trash night out at the curb. I find em clean em, replace carbs and sell em. Nice job on this one. Love your restoration work. Its like BRAND NEW!!! love it.
I gots 3 more today free!!

Want another? Lol.
I opened up the crankcase and found metal shavings so I'm gonna recycle it...
let me guess. they put ethanol in it and it gunked up over the winter, tossed out in spring when it couldn't crank..
Actually, it was given to satan, he look at it and gave it back.
I've had the same mower for 5 years alwyas used ethanol gas and added Stabil storage to it , never had a problem
@@dylanclay2741 and you added something to it. most people dont know to use Stabil or similar product.
@@jetah50 that it true
4:45 In this "throw away" society I love seeing people bring back mowers. Even "cheap" ones like these. I've probably brought back half a dozen of them that all they needed was a good carb clean... I currently alternate between a 2006 Troy-Bilt and a 2007 Toro with front wheel drive.
Nice!!!
I like the content and the way you present it.
I’m surprised that even started with how low the compression was xD I doubt it’ll last to long, maybe try opening the head up and using a engine hone(if the bore is all scratched up) , seafoam (hot soak it)
Check the valve lash and change the oil. I suggest pennzoil platinum, or amazon basics. I use them in my small engine projects and they work amazing. I suggest you watch a video made by ‘projectfarm’ on the two oils and seafoam.
Nice!!
The mover is cleaner then his shoes
No offence
it was satisfying to watch 👍🏽
Fantastic! In Scotland / UK people try and sell junk mowers for way more than they're worth (essentially nothing!). I bought an old Victa mower which was running when I got it, and then just about everything failed. Took a bit of work to get it back, but I think it's worth it. Only got a bit more to do with the grass catcher, but new blades and serviced the carb, new parts for it and seals, new throttle cable too. More than I bought in to but they are legendary mowers!
amazing how you take something soo intimidating looking and make it look soo simple
I was almost not going to do it when I saw it upside down in the back of a junk truck. Then I thought...why not...And I'm glad I did!
Gday Mate from Downunder...You have done a really nice job on that slasher...less landfill and more recycling is the go..basic mechanical know how should be taught in schools as oppossed to PC Correct garbage..most young people have no idea..kept ignorant by overpaid people who think they know better.
Yea making it all new and nice.

I’m 65yrs old an I have always been a FIY kind of guy.I get it from my dad.It is amazing what people throw away simply because they have no knowledge to fix. Utube has all the howto vids u need.These small engines can be repaired easily, your friend or neighbor will appreciate it also.
Nice!
Feel like he just got this out of the garage just been sitting
Thank you. So nice to watch a repair video with no "um's" and "ah's" and vertigo inducing camera work, that obviously will inspire some watchers to tackle saving their own lawnmower or their neighbour's. You the Man!!!
;D
What did you use to spray to make it start up?
Carb Cleaner....strangely.
Lebron Jordan i use wd-40
You shot it into the breather tube, I think it was just a coincidence it started on the next pull.
looks great! what size is the hex for the carburetor drain? I never use it but its good to know the size.
