Should we build a hydrostatic AWD air cooled 4cyl diesel Harley motorcycle? 🤔
Yes, I like your projeckt videos 😉 Cheers.
Most definitely!
Buy beer get drunk
Do you really have to ask? lol
Yes
The amount of work that has been accomplished in Canada while one hand holds a coffee is incredible.
04:46 that's bullshit bud! NEVER forget the canned consent!
You can hear the Robin bird all angry that you’re near it’s nest
Your "mover" projects seem to be spaced in a way that you always have a new mower when you need to move your grass
Check out Mustie1's channel. I don't know if he's ever mowed his grass with a mower he didn't pick up for free and fix 5 minutes before.
😂
Move grass? I mean i guess you technically aren't wrong..
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Cut the grass real short and then wait for the sun to burn the grass So ya don’t have to cut the grass. Been saving money for diesel projects since 2014
Heck, cut out the middle man and just spray the diesel on the lawn
I bet they loved those ag tires on their golf course. 😬🤣🤣
You have almost everything you need to make an articulated 4x4 tandem bush hog.
This is crazy and I want to see it!
He was like Julian from TPB with that coffee at the beginning haha
First crank, NO SPARK! (Checks notes) OK that is good in a diesel, carry on :)
I just sold 6 of these through our city’s online auction from our golf course. They all ran and operated just fine - 4000-5000 hrs on each one. They all went for $2000-3000 each! Amazing. Sold 2 pallets of brand new Jacobsen reels and parts too. You’re about a month late with this video, man. Bummer.
😂
Like to harvest an engine like that…!
You are a good man and a good mechanic 👍 🤠.
Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮. 🍻
🍺
I made the mistake of starting an old cat on the diesel in the tank lately. Smelt like varnish. She fired right but on it, just ran her for a little while. Plan was to drain and flush the tank. Decided to fire it up once more for a listen before I left, ended up with a fuel system full of a dirty diesel/water mix. Never again, had to push a load of clean fuel through the system from a 20l container. Eventually got the gunge out and got her fired back up. It was sat no more than 5 years. Never again!!
Just watched a man cut his lawn while I neglect to cut mine.
Done the grass yet ?
I love it when you just find stuff in the woods and make it run
All I could think about was driving golf balls at Rich while he mowed his lawn
I think it's terrible that 38 others, and me, have 👍ed that idea - sorry Rich.😂
If that footage *wasn't* speeded up, it would maybe be a fair challenge but Rich is a good-sized target, even without a hat on.😂
The first think I would have done is cut the wire to that backup alarm that’s constantly beeping
The other pedal next to the mower movement pedal is the parking brake, the 4x4 switch is just in front of the pto switch on the control panel
Stupid funny video Rich. “Ill probably sell another Cummins at that point...” 👌🏻👌🏻
Not too many people caught on to that part
@@DGHD It made me chuckle too.
@@DGHD I'll fix the 6.0 lol Just up the road from V&R so not far
You lucky guy
Those were one of the best mowers I ever owned freaking love em.
I just bought a Ransoms motor 350D reel mower from my local golf course had went by it off and on for 3 weeks and could never manage to stop and look at it but was almost certain it said 400.00 on the sign finally stopped and looked sure enough 400 and everything works has a 40 hp 4cyl Kubota cruses about 22-25 mph (pretty sketchy) on the road i obviously had to buy it. I have no idea what i'm going to do with it thinking about a custom 4x4 buggy using narrowed Chevy k10 axles driven by the hydro drives would use 2 fronts so i could have 4 wheel steering but who knows
I bought one of those a few years ago, thinking I could use the engine in something like a Bobcat. Never got around to doing anything with it and sold it for more than I paid. I found the linkage for the hydrostatic control was sketchy, the thing would just start moving without touching the pedal.
You should resell it to a landscaping company and put the money into something more badass
I was at the scrap yard dumping a load, guy beside me had two old Walker mowers he was dumping. Looked at them,one had a 3cyl kubota diesel. He said it ran good,mower was fxxked. He said 50bucks, its yours. Couldn't get the 50 old fast enough. Paid him & met him outside the scale & i had a kubota. Good home & it DOES run good.
Ended up selling it and we will just say I did ok on it lol
Great video as always Rich @Deboss Garage
Keep up the hard work and thanks for the content
Walker mowers are fabulous mower giving a great cut,had a super sting 18hp,BUT they are mechanically intensive and not for a person who won't spin a wrench or a use a grease gun.KUBOTA diesel engines and products are just plain awesome.Save the hydrostat parts!
Nice mower, we had a bunch like that when I worked as a mechanic at a turf farm. We only used them for whatever the putting green grass is. Should be simple to get running.
Would be interested in seeing a video on gas bottle tank ownership vs rental. I live in a small town and find a few bottles at the dump each year so I don't have to buy acetylene. Otherwise, it would be a total pain to rent bottles I don't use often.
Best part of the week is the de boss video
Rich and his coffee ☕️ good man ✌🏻👍🏻
We had a Jacobsen at the place I worked, everybody used it like crazy. It was a beast especially with the sweeper on the front. Good video !
2 necessities for a cold start / old start... Fresh battery and a cup of timmy's 😂
Same engine as my Kubota G3HST. Works a treat. Mine is the D600, gutsy lil thing.
Those jacobsen LF series fairway mowers were ahead of their time when they came out. I love those mowers.
I cut many fairways with those mowers at Forest City National GC. Those were great machines. Love the old Jake stuff!
Its alive wow sounds very healthy as well @Deboss Garage
cool vid love old stuff that gets another life just like you restored bulldozer or the scraped john deer excavator good work
Love the racing steering wheel. Reminds me of a factory option one Dodge had for their trucks and cars in the mid 80s (and one I’m putting in my W250)
Man I love your videos. It makes me want you to help me get this old dozer out of the woods.
Fairway hated those tires.😁
I love these videos where you take some dirty ol beast and bring it back to life
Im glad I subscribed to this second channel.
Just think Sears was basically Amazon at one time...
And Montgomery ward
Even worse, Sears looked into online shopping before Amazon existed, and decided that the whole internet thing was just a fad.
@@TheCoffeehound Similar situation with IBM. In the early 70s they had secret basement research center. Where they made the first computer with a intranet with email, Pop down Windows operation system and a mouse. The old school IBM Execs couldn't see how it would sell to anyone. So they scrapped the idea. Then later on Apple took the idea and Microsoft reengineered the Apple operating system. But Microsoft still used MS DOS unlike Apple or ISO.
Yes Sears and Roebuck sold everything via a catalog in the 1800s. Even full size house kits ( Some Sears houses still stand today) farm equipment etc.
@@jaybee2344 LOL, I grew up in one of those kit houses. My great grandparents built it in the early 1920's, and my parents still live there today. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure if it was Sears or Montgomery Ward.
Poor momma bird came home from work to find both the house AND the kids gone!
There were a few months between getting it running and actually getting it home.
@@DGHD those birds might still have a case!
I worked for Jacobson in Charlotte North Carolina for 17 years. It was a great learning experience. Look up the Jacobsen 9016 mower.
Rich, get that toro greensmaster behind the jacobsen. Love those mowers.
So i watched this video with the subtitles on and every time the engine was running it would put (music) as the text. Good to see they got that right
You should take off the reel mowers and put lawnmower decks on there and have a big ass lawnmower to mow your yard
Those three cylinder Kubota engines are very common on bucket trucks, usually the same fuel as the truck, to operate the hydraulics without running the truck engine. I worked on a lot of them in the gasoline version. Not a hot-rod mill to be sure, but interesting engines, probably a workhorse for small tractor and lawn applications.
Now your lawn looks like a golf course, nice!
You have to upload more videos like these 👍👍
I noticed the lack of finish in the socket wells too. Sold Craftsman tools at Sears just out of highschool in ‘94.
That thing is just loyal!
Hank Hill would be proud of this mower and your work!
Does it have 23x13-12 front tires? There was some Jacobsen commercial mowers in the 90’s that had that size tires which are no longer available.
Hell yeah build the bike!!
Would be really cool to see that Kubota in a go cart or a 4 wheeler of some kind. 👌👌
Those little Kubota motors never die.
That's a steal, Love the Kubota! I just came around a TORO REEL MOWER for cheap. 3cyl. Perkins running, driving and mowing! LOL Watch a Bolens series I'm doing atm.
I would make a cool little diesel go kart out of it, already has a decent roll cage
Wow you got her running pretty quick lol rich @Deboss Garage
Those 722's are tough to find. Such a great motor and just not enough of em around.
Definitely do that, chap
We used to have a Jacobsen 5 gang reel mower here. Mechanical gear boxes, not hydraulic. You can't let the weeds grow too tall when it's dry though. The reels lay the tall weeds down and don't cut them. They pop right back up behind you :( and then you need the regular (narrow) mower to clean up. Still, it was a fun machine (when we weren't rebuilding the gear boxes)
I could tell you were excited about the hystat. Your Canadian was coming out when you were talking.
I have a JD 455 diesel. I left the transmission in tow mode and when you try to drive it, it made that same sound and barely moved.
I love the Milwaukee air pump but hate that screw on hose fitting. I lose way too much pressure just disconnecting the hose.
My motomaster is the same, hate the screw on piece. I have 2 tires that the screw on is stripped so have to hold it on
@@cclcanadiancountrylife3628 I bought these to hopefully fix the problem...www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07263PGCW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Had one just like this except mine had a yanmar diesel. Maxed the pump out and put a side exit out the hood on it, thing was badass
I was thinking snowblower... But I guess I'm a little late for that suggestion
I received my 1st Craftsman tool set with the metal tool box in 1974..I stayed with Craftsman through the years..every Christmas all I wanted was tools I didn't already have..one year I even got a full Tri stack tool chest..(she got a emerald ring) now the sears store is gone..Lowes and Ace hardware have a crap selection..now Craftsman is made in china and like you pointed out the quality is sketchy..then the other day I was using my 180 piece portable kit and for like the 101th time I bumped it and all the sockets went flying all over the place while I was under my motor home..
I started looking for a replacement and saw the Craftsman tool kits commanding the higher prices..no way I thought to myself..not for cheap Chinese junk..so I continued my search which led me to the "Kobalt 439-Piece Mechanic's Tool Set" Item #1616117 Model #81334 for $189.99 and it came in its own tool chest and everything snaps into place..made in America..check..lifetime free replacement..check..exceeds ASME specifications..check..farewell Craftsman..we had a good run..
I have that same socket set I love it
I Enjoyed the video so much and then you had to go scrap it!!!!
The finish missing inside is the chrome. It's only about 50 millionths of an inch (.00005). It really doesn't do much for corrosion protection.
I sold one of these in the exact same state a few months ago. The guy didn't like my price until I pointed out all the hydraulic stuff and the diesel. Tons of goodies on these things.
I love how the Bird Nest is still on the roof for ages
I see pep over at zipties n bias plies has got to you a bit with the send hahhaa
bloody beepers, came home from school to find my dad in the front of his 1981 pontiac parisienne stabbing things under the dash till the seat belt buzzer died a slow death
Put a finish mower deck on the front!
As a guy that owns a golf. Ourse and been working on them all my life. It pains me to see you mowing without roller on some reels . Haha. Good luck with whatever its parts turn into.
I need one of them engines for my mower 🤣
Go for it
what do you want for the front wheels need them for my lawn tracktor
I was hoping that by the end of this video you’d have a 5.9 in that mower...
Hopefully that's a future video
We had one of those robins nests built on a work light on our most frequently used tractor 🙄
wish I could find stuff like that around here lol
Its around everywhere, its just a matter of knowing where to look and who to ask.
yaaaay motorcycle content
You should run the glow plugs for a little longer. These Kubota diesels like their glow plugs.
Thats for dam sure
We got 2 kubotas here at Grandview lodge and yep they love their glow plugs
Almost every mower that the golf course I work at has a Kubota diesel engine.
You should never use starting fluid in a Diesel with glo plugs.notice it started right up when he used glo plugs
Next an engine swap in some car👍 Men, few years ago i bought old naturaly aspirated diesel VW Lupo 2001. (105 cu. in., 60 hp) For 44 kw engine it holds 5 quart of diesel oil, 7 qt coolant and 3 qt of oil in mt! Its just fckn Indestructible! 2300 pound, 11 ft 7 in car, full throttle all day and 55 plus MPG! 💪
A common problem people have with gas powered ones is seat/safety switches cutting spark. Been there myself a couple times😅
Reels work fairly well on StAugustineGrass if you buy a front-reel unit with height guide wheels but if you run over the grass with front wheels first it looks like crap. StAugustine actually *loves* being cut by a reel, it can be kinda stringy and most places its used you get a lot of blown sand wearing the regular blades round so you get a "pulled pork" end on the grass blades but a reel won't suck sand.
When in doubt about which channel.... just post the video on both channels :) that was easy LOL nice video !
do you guys have a farm/heavy equipment tire shop you use? im out near hamilton and am having a hard time finding someone.. Not really sure what to look for though.
Tim’s Tires in Caledonia.
Why does he remind me of the janitor of Zach and cody😂😂
I found a Jacobson front-deck mower like that at my local junkyard with a bad hydro and
nice Kubota 950. Got it running and paid $100 for the motor and radiator.
Minty 👌👌👌
Would love to see a teardown of the hydrostat.
That toro greensmaster behind it is twice the machine the jacobsen is 🤣
I think a backup generator for the shop and house would be a great option!
The best mower ever made for a golf course i spent most of my childhood and teenage years using and riding on one of these 😂
Take those reels off and sharpen the bed knife and it will cut like butter plus you can set the height of it as well to better cut the grass
Those kubota diesels are the best engine s out there in my opinion. They are reliable and start fast
Definitely missing the back rollers on most of the reels.
We had a John Deere 2653 reel mower at the golf course. It satout in the weather for about 10 years of so. This winter the crew fired it up, cleaned it up and it is now back in service.
