- Found this old Cooper mower on market place. It hasn't run in several years and in this video I get it running for the first time in years. The original engine was replaced with a 1975 3.5hp Briggs and Stratton dual shaft engine.
Parts used
air filter #270579
carburetor diaphragm #391681

I had this exact same mower in the late 70’s, my neighbor gave it to me. I rebuilt the original engine and used it for a good long while until the deck cracked. Loved it! Mine had the original B&S engine from ‘59 or ‘60 with the oil bath air cleaner and the 4 ball starter clutch. Cooper made such great mowers, loved the Cyclo-Mo. I also had a Cooper Klipper reel type mower that I didn’t like much, it cut the grass way too short and if the wheel hit an obstruction in the yard the mower would do an immediate 180 degree turn and come at you. I’d probably spin that engine right way ‘round, the puller handle should be up in the handle. Cooper and HOMKO were among the first to do that BITD.
Oh ok thanks and this is a great mower.
Love to see those vintage mowers come back to life, sounds good too.
Thanks I have never seen one like this, so I decided to post a video of it.
Cool channel, great seeing old equipment given a new life
Thanks, I'm planning on posting more videos 1 every month.
Built to last.
Not like these new mowers that are built to throw away.
@@SecondWindMechanical I have a few of these Sprint engines. I will not sell or get rid of them. I put them on the good decks when the new engines take a dump.
@@wyrunuts sounds like a good plan.
didn't knew that this type of carb built in tank was existing from so many years !😮
@martindesmarais7158 it's a simple design
Pulsa get carburetor
@@ommah3667 Yes simple and reliable
That automatic choke setup shows me that is not the original engine, as that design first entered production in 1968.
The previous design used a manually operated choke.
@@leehuff2330 In the description I note that the engine was replaced.
All American made and still putting in work decades after it left the factory. As the old saying goes,
"They Don't Make Them Like They Used To"
All the mowers now are throw away. You're lucky to get one summer out of it.
That looks like a newer engine than 1962... Looks like a model 92902. Great engine nonetheless
It is I didn't put that in the description the engine is from 1975.
Thats one sweet mower
Thanks it's the only one I've seen like it.
Looks a lot like a Lawn-Boy deck
That's what I said when I first saw it. But it's pretty common designed for the time.
What makes it rare is the grass shoot in front I have the same mower to the day I put a 6.5 horse power on it you can chop small stumps with it
That's aggressive
Break out the marvel mystery oil.
I really didn't need it on this one
Nicely done! Is that a self propelled mower? Hope it still works ok. Very professionally done! Enjoyed watching!😅
Yes it is! The self-propelled works great.
@6:56 -something else was cranking.
I didn't hear anything thing?
6:56 did someone rip some ass there?😂
@Mmmmmcheese-zl3ow No, unfortunately, it wasn't.
i had one similar
It's a good mower
Nice mower but may I suggest for future videos a little narration. Those old flathead Briggs engines were tried and true.
I will have to work in it. The next video is going to be an old Clinton mower.
Oh nice. I used to have an old Ryan Ren-o-thin dethatcher that had an old Clinton 494 on it. Smoked like a diesel and was pretty loud but ran great. I got rid of it when I did a major cleanup in my shop. I could kick myself for getting rid of it now. Would have made for some nice TH-cam content
@@shoptalkwithbrett6572 It's crazy how old mowers and yard equipment has gotten popular.
@@SecondWindMechanical yes! Taryl did several videos where he restored some pretty vintage equipment.
At one time B & S replacement engines were copper colored.
The engine on the mower is a replacement from the 70's. It's still a strong running engine though.
@@SecondWindMechanical I'M old when I was in my early teens my dad bought a used rider with a 7hp B+S it was a good mower the only 1 in the community with a copper colored motor
What is the top speed? 🥵🥵
I don't know. I've never tested it to find out.
The bolt didn't break
Which bolt?
That’s a really cool old mower great to see it up and running
Thanks
Wish I could find one of these this is a cool looking mower and it’s right in my era of collecting early 60s in prior it would be another one that would be added to the collection and possibly restored at some point cosmetically. Trying to get at least two back up push mowers. And a riding lawnmower from the 50s 60s and currently I have a 1960s 127 cub cadet that I’m restoring cosmetically and mechanically.
@Ellenslife851 I'm looking for a 1960's Swisher zero turn because they have Tecumseh engines with windup starters.
@@SecondWindMechanical that’s cool I’ll keep my eyes out
Wow, this brings back memories!
Loved working on those old engines!
They don't make them that good anymore!
Thanks for sharing! Great job!
Blessings to you and your family
Thanks
I remember those.
Were they any good back then?
Very nice
Thanks
Sweet Chopper
@@BrianAdriance Thanks
I'd much rather have/ use an old lawn mower than the garbage they sell now days. Built way better,lasted a very long time.
The new stuff is built to throw away.
2cycle
No it's 4 cycle
I loved this video. I do hope you checked it had oil before you spun the engine over to check for spark. I love older briggs engines. they are built better in my opinion
I did. I just didn't get it in video.
@@SecondWindMechanical pheweee :) I subscribed :)
for something this OLD it cuts the grass even and CLEAN.
@@cyborg327 I didn't even have to sharpen the blade.
Why don't you pore gas in the tank instead of starting fluid.
I did. I just didn't video it. This is one of my first will it run videos. I'm planning on making more videos of different power equipment every month.
No Flywheel Puller?👎
Don't need one on a Briggs and Stratton.
I've been a small engine mechanic now for years, I've worked on thousands of different machine and you never need a puller for push mowers and ride ons you just need a pry bar and a hammer
@quadvloggs6876 Exactly, I have never needed one expect on a two stroke tecumseh chainsaw.
