My husband recently passed away unexpectedly and I’m having to take care of my yard for the first time in my late 30’s! 😅 Fingers crossed this works!
My wife thanks you for fixing her lawn mower😅
PBR nobody can just sip twice--or wait maybe that’s potato chips. I only knew this because I left my mower outside int rain heat humidity. You know what broke. Threw bad one away used twisted wire Jimmy rigged about 4 years ago. Keep it inside now
I found the problem was I didn't have a beer to sip. :-(
ok, show us how to fix the transmisson next... 2 sip's !
You sold me at 2 sip fix.
1 dislike is from the "lawnmower technician" who lost that sweet belt replacement job.
I have a yard force self propelled and that adjustment does nothing to slow this damn thing down. To keep up with it I have to be in a super fast walk!!!
I have the opposite problem I let go of the the self propelle bar and the wheels keep turning! Will adjusting the cable fix that problem?
Yeah.... guess if I got old school simple bale engagement I'm just SOL🤔
Thanks man. I was thinking I was going to buy a new one because I was getting tired of pushing this thing around. Your video showed me how to adjust the cable and fix it FAST. You da man!!
Amazing video. My lawnmower has been getting worse for years and I have just gotten use to it. I watched this video 10 min ago, went out and adjusted the cable. Now, for the first time in a couple years, I'm able to mow straight up my hill. Thank you so much for the advise.
Third time you saved me this summer on a 2 yr old Honda GCV 160 Snapper self propelled mower. Ran into the lawn mower repair guy at Lowes asking where I’ve been this season. I said ,”I got a new man in my life helping me now.” He said, “Ohhhh.” Me: “His name is uh …Steve. Just Steve…Yeah”. Him: “Oh…well ok. That’s uh good. Have a good one.” Walks away. That was awkward. Thanks for helping a gal learn how to make many repairs with confidence. Saved again! 😊
Thank you so much! My husband is a disabled Veteran so the mowing is my responsibility. We live in WV & the yard is too sloped for a riding mower. I have been struggling with the self propelled for 2 seasons now! I watched this, went out & adjusted & off we went!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks, Steve! I actually had a stick stuck under the belt, but it needed adjustment , as well. You just saved me a headache and some money! Much appreciated.
That was the easiest fix I've ever done. Thanks for saving me time and money with trouble shooting this issue.
Dude, you are awesome! I have a Snapper self propelled mower, and only had it 2 years before I noticed it started to not have the same pulling power it once had. I was getting nervous, and even considered buying a better mower. I watched your video and now it is just like the day I got it! Thank you sir!
Thanks for another entertaining and educational video, Steve. Always learn something new each time I watch. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you Steve....just went outside and adjusted my cable and it works great. You are the man🍻🍻
