RIP niel peart
Faryl’s shop has that sleeper security system... the outside architecture tells the thief, don’t even bother. Clearly Faryl is a genius
After years of watching this and hearing about brother Faryl, is nice to finally meet him!
This is not Faryl's first appearance.
Faryl said he had a bunch of those. You should get them all, put them together and make a flying car.
Or a cube of scrap iron. Tooooo dangerous
Put a pitched blade under it and a low profile swivel caster on each corner. Or keep it original and use it as a leaf/snow blower.
When I was a kid in the 70’s I remember the municipality using fly mowers to mow hillsides. They tied a rope to the handle and the lowered down the hill and pulled it back up. I do remember Toro commercials on TV for these things and they were red back then.
That's the only reason I would buy one.
I still do that on the sloped areas at my work place! Tie a climbing rope around the dead man's handle and send it downhill!
Ahh now I know why my grandfather had one back in the day. A good part of the lot was a steep slope.
They're actually still made by Toro for golf courses and slopes, but have been renamed HoverPro instead of Flymo. Can't say I've ever seen them in use, but I also don't live in an area where they're that concerned about perfectly manicured grass lol
Yup
Taryl and faryl standing there..9000 years of experience in small engine service..then back to the future with floating lawn mowers ..what an episode..
A double Encore! Love the Rush tribute. Thanks for the Flymo video, Taryl!
congratulations on being the first person to mow their yard in town this year.
The best comment
That kid that Faryl scratched, I remember the boy's name as Little Teddy Nugent. I don't think he ever forgot about that.
Nugent
Its great to see Faryl in a video I have been asking for years! without Faryl
there would be no Taryl
Taryl, Jerkenstein and Elkskins take a trip to the United Kingdom. Would love to see that!
Just when you think you've seen it all, Taryl pulls out another classic! FANTASTIC SHOW
That was great! Faryl is a natural too. I like the hover-blower-skimmer foot-remover thing, everything except mower😆
i amm so glad to see momma cat lying beside you tryl that right there shows me your a good man
It's a mower that doubles as a grill lid.
Fly-Mow by night! Thank you Taryl for putting RUSH in my head all day. 👍🙂
Still sellinglike hotcakes over here in uk. The local authorities use them for cutting grass on embankments lowered down with a rope attached to the handle and swung about in a big arc saves trying not to slip about .
And Toro sell the rebranded Allen HoverPro mowers now. I think they will get less popular due to battery mowers that can be used on steep slopes.
Don't think Council's are allowed to use them on ropes on banks anymore, too many accidents with people slipping on banks under them and with the rope tied around kill switch they just keep on running chopping yer legs !!!
@@derek876544 no they have to use remote control bank mowers now.
Wtf
@@bentullett6068 ye repaired a few
yes i love these old flymo/toros
and yes faryl
In 1971, I visited The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island, Michigan. It was built during the 1920's depreciation as a "work project" to supply jobs. It's truly an amazing place and worthy of a visit. The site where it is built is on a hill with very steep banks along side the access road. The grounds keepers all used Flymo's to trim the manicured lawns. It was the only way they could efficiently mow the grass. In 1971, watching them mow was like a Star Wars event. No wheels and completely operated simply by a turn of the wrist for direction. The grounds keeper's raved about them.
My neighbor had one for cutting his very swampy/soft lakefront property. Worked great!
Hey Maw. Look out the window. Taryl has lost it. He's mowing the snow with a lawnmower with no wheels.
@Anders Sutton it don’t work. It’s a scam
I've only seen this thing briefly a few times in old videos and thought "What the hell was that? No wheels?" Thanks Taryl for another interesting vid.
Was great to see the legendary... mysterious faryl!!! Great vid!
Love the outtakes! Keep it up and got my Taryl apparel this week too!
Love the bloopers! MORE please!
FYI When I was teen working summers for a lawn service we used a couple of these for years to cut steep hillsides in customer's lawns that you couldn't safely get a rider on. Hell, most of the hills were too steep to walk up and down to even weedeat them unless you had mountain goat skills. We took the handles off of them and had two ropes with knots tied so you could stand on top of the hill with a rope in either hand and swing the mower back and forth and let it down a bit at a time from one knot to the next on each rope. We had a couple military base contracts that had really steep grass-covered hills up the sides of a dozen or so bunkers of some sort and they really worked rather well for that purpose.
Laughter is the best medicine. Always enjoy TFA videos!
Taryl thanks for your time on repairing another antique!
Cool mower. Best 35 Minutes I've had all week.
You make my Sunday guys thank you.
HI from the UK.
I worked for the parks department in Edinburgh Scotland during the 70's and 80's and hover mowers were handy for steep slopes where ordinary mowers couldn't go safely.
We used to stand at the top of the slope and operate the machine using ropes tied to the handle!
Greetings from England. Good job Taryl. Good tip about spark plug boot. Flymo's are invariably used on slopes, verges and banks at inclined angles where a normal mower wont work. But..they are hard to use because the hover is fighting the operator all the time. Its tiring trying to hold on. Gardeners like them for graveyards between head stones or between fence posts as you swing it left/right rather than push back/forth as with a wheeled mower. There's an Australian mower called Victa which also has 2-stroke engines and they work better for slopes as they have wheels and are easier to control. The problem with 4-stroke used at and inclined angle is the tilted crank case pools the oil on one side and does not lubricate properly causing engines to seize.
I've heard that Rush song a hundred times or more.....Never knew the lyrics until watching this video! Thanks Taryl!
When I first found your videos I thought WHAT A NUTCASE! LOL!! BUT I'M STARTING TO ENJOY WATCHING YOUR HILARIOUS STUFF!! VERRRRRY INFORMATIVE ON A LOT OF THINGS!! I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SMALL ENGINES ALL MY LIFE,, AND HAVE ACTUALLY LEARNED SEVERAL THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ON HERE!! ALMOST HURT MYSELF FROM LAUGHING SO HARD AT SOME OF YOUR SAYINGS, HARD AS A CARP! TEECUMESH,BREAKS AND SCRAPEM ,A LOT OF FUNNY CHIT! THE OUT TAKES ARE HILARIOUS TOO!! DON'T YOU GET TIRED OF THOSE TEETH? AND SQUINTING YOUR EYES ALL THE TIME?? OR ARE YOU LIKE ME HAVE TO SQUINT THEM TO SEE THINGS!! LOL!
That fly-mo was interesting to see. 2 uncle Andy's is the world really ready for that?
I really like the bloopers
Love the Rush tribute Taryl Lee. Flymo Night away from here...Classic!
Yes bloopers finally thanks man 👍👍 more please 🤣
I remember back in the late sixties, or very early seventies, I had an uncle that had the corded electric version of the Flymo in Canada. He had a very small yard and he loved it. It made it very easy to get between bushes and tight spaces.
I love the outtakes
34:53 "And here comes a car"
*instantly takes teeth out* 🤣
WOW... Great observation. A buddy just called me to tell me about the Flymo video, and was asking about the teeth. I said they look like the Billy Bob teeth from years ago (sold at a lot of the Nascar events) Been watching Taryl for many years...ok TY and have a good one.
Great video Taryl. I was great to finally see your brother Faryl. Would like to see Skippy again.
Love when you work on the old dangerous stuff !
Cant wait for the ride-on version!
the day the American Pickers come to taryl’s shop is the day i can die happy 😂😂
Meeting Faryl and seeing "space age" technology? What an episode! Keep up the great work!
Definitely approve of the Faryl appearance !
Fly-mow worked better than I thought it would 👍
great video really informative
The people that steep banks of grass love the fly mower. We used a rope and lowered it down and back up. Then we learned to stand in the center at the top and just swing the fly mow back and forth made it so simple. When they quit selling them I would buy used ones to keep a working fly mow. We put hole on the deck so the rope pulled direct to the deck.
Amazingz! 🤏👌
When I was in Germany they used these to mow cut and cover fuel tanks. They were huge fuel tanks that were buried to look like hills to aircraft that may fly over. They tied a string to them and swung them side to side. I once cut a cut and cover tank with a weed eater. It took 4 of us a whole day to cut half of it.
You guys sure put a lot of time and effort into making your vids. Two thumbs up.
Awesome video
Another good one! 👍👍👍
Love it. Works on frozen grass!!!
My dad had one of those from Sears!! I loved it!! I wish I had one now for soggy soil!!!
That would make a nice floor polisher.
Too bad it's a 2 stroke but would work if you had a nice garage floor, maybe ?
That thing sounds like a nascar engine turning 8k RPMs for some reason
In my younger days for which now I'm 62 years old we used to run brake fluid down the carburetor of our motors and it would become unbelievably quiet is the sound was trapped in the larger smoke molecules the smoke was unbelievable it was funny it would turn so thick that we couldn't see each other out in the driveway and I remember laughing as we first began in the closed garage and the sound of the motor changing to very quiet was also interesting I don't know that it cleaned carbon but I think it did cuz the motors were very clean afterward and there was never any harm done to the motors
That Faryl kitty litter scene always has me howling with laughter 😂😂😂
I can see JR. Flipping that thing over onto his leg. I believe that was what happened to many kids that tried using them. Unless you owned a gold course, It wouldn't cut worth the damn. I remember my first experience with a reel type mower. It wasn't until an old timer taught me how to properly adjust one that I even liked them. I used a power reel mower to cut designs in people's lawns back in the early 80's. It became a" thing" with all the local area doctors offices in town. I was cutting various designs in their lawns. I got paid extra per lawn. I also had to sharpen the reels often.
Flymo By Night!!! Lol!! You're an original Taryl!
Dig them Fly Mo Moves!
That Rush bit had me going 👍
I have a 1980 Flymo with an AV660 Tecumseh engine. I live in the mid west and I absolutely love mine. I use mine for my steep hills and tight areas between trees. I tie a rope on the handle bars and just walk along the hills. Its the very last piece of lawn equipment I would ever get rid of. If people hate them so much, I'll buy every single one.
Great video
I got one of those vintage flymo, never had gas in it, still in the box l, was in storage. 2 stroke.
Hope to see more videos with your brother on them.😁👍👍
Keep on ROCKEN!! W.f.O !!
Thanks for the LOCKDOWN RELIEF loving it here in Ireland 👋🤣💚☘☘☘
Boy, that thing cuts like a dream.... Hey, a nightmare is a dream, right?
Great stuff you guys no kidding
I used to use my Dad's 2 stroke flymo to cut our lawns back in the 60's. Worked great, especially on rough ground or banks. Just be careful you wear strong boots so you don't slip and get 'Flymo foot', and have to go looking for your toes.
Omg yes I know that song. I never caught on to what it was really ment 🤣. Great video bud.
Awesome !!!! 😃
They work great for mowing ditches. My step dad had these Flymos on his cranberry farm.
Canada Russ here, just when ya think u know all there is to know about mowers.. FLYMO.. heh.. super cool, i like it..
Taryl, that song........keep your day job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........I only saw one Flymow in my life, I left it where I found it!!!!!
Hey!....at least it clears the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your British accent Taryl . Greetings from the U.K
Bravo old chap 🇬🇧✊🏻
Take the blade off then and install a regular mower blade upside down. Then the fly mower might act more like a leaf blower to clear sidewalks.
I want one....How cool!
Love the songs.
Your knees are next Taryl. Lol. Tx for the videos. Love what you do and your approach/diagnosis of equipment. I’ve learned a lot from you as I just retired at 51 with a disability. Go east on your knees as I had a total knee replacement on the right and need one on the left in the near future. Tx for your funny videos with your boys. Love it !
Carb repair instructions are the most valuable part.
And of course replacing the missing part. It won't hold gas without the seat.
You could see how they would be confused.
The camera blurs when objects are moving.
Speed or resolution, or something.
Faryl was there! And the real uncle Andy! What a great video.
It would have been even neater to see the parts up close.
You can give slippers a fly mow hawk now and do the banks and hills.
Was that a phenolic air cleaner? Carcinogen if it was.
I find it funny that my old Boy Scout Master whose family owns a True Value store for decades collect these. I wonder if he got obsessed with them bc he use to sell and service them as a kid.
Out here in Long Island, NY golf courses still use specially on hilly terrain.
Faryl has a really nice size shop! 🤙🏻🦅🇺🇸🔧
Glad this mower bought back some memories. You knew exactly what to do and spot!
We've all got them over here. Pretty standard!
OK GOOD, Can you tell me why the blade is not sharp ?
@@NoWr2Run a blade that is TOO sharp will dull much faster. It needs to be sharp but not so sharp that it will cut your skin.
Got one of those Flymo under a tarpaulin at the bottom of the garden. I stopped using it about six years ago. It would always start first pull whatever the weather despite being exposed to the elements for much of the time. This video has inspired me to get it going again. That's when the weather warms up a bit here in the UK of course! Thanks for the video Taryl..
Thanks guys,
Thats the laugh I needed today
Central California Watching
OMG Rush song butcher. That was a great show and repair!
Great video! That Old Engine Oil beer is a good one too!
I remember them . I worked at a hardware / lawnmower shop when I was in high school & we sold them for one year . They did not cut tall grass at all .
I have that same Green/white Bolens rideon in the background with a V twin Viscount 14HP engine and i removed the side covers to let it breath better.
Love your channel - Tim from Aust....
It’s like a space shuttle
That’s a nice looking kitty 🐱
Thank you!!!
Maybe you could put some kind of a skirt around 3/4's of it, to direct the air flow and make a sidewalk blower out of it. Hope to Faryl in more videos.
Great video one of these days I'm going to get my Flymow going.
I found a Toro single stage snowblower in the garbage it was seized up but I got it working took apart the carburetor and it had a wire holding the needle and seat I’ve never seen that ever before had a sticker on it where it was worked on great videos 👍🏻
