    Good to see someone repairing the old mower and getting a bit more life out of it, a job well done.

    Thanks from New Zealand- my skills are at best crude, and this will be a big help in producing a workable fix for my situation.

    Good job extending the life of the deck. Has it lasted still now? 2023.

      @@TheProjectGuy194 nice I saved a 5 yr old Honda rwd walk behind with badly rust deck. Cannot find another one same model. The cub cadet similar with the same Honda gcv 160 is also not around for parts. I'll be welding this deck too. Thanks again from Nova Scotia. :)

    Mine has gone in almost exactly the same place. It’s a Honda and the engine works perfectly. I’m wondering whether to shape a bit of wire mesh over the hole at either side and then use fibreglass and resin to hold that in and build that up for strength. Do you think that would work? I might buy a new one and I could use both to get the grass cut quicker but I am loath to scrap the machine!

      Yes clean around it an get fine mesh an go to motor factors or car parts place an get a tub of fiber fill an apply it over the mesh an overlap onto the mover.

    Nicely done. Could that be done with the stick welder?

  • @TheProjectGuy194
    @TheProjectGuy194  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    to be honest the metal is too thin for a stick welder, would just blow holes

    this is so American it's like I did it? lol. ?>>>/
    here is me trying to save some money....
    while using almost $10,000 worth of equipment to save some money..
    tune in next time where we drive a Mercedes Benz to a Dollar Tree
    [for our UK friends we decide to actually fill up the tank in a Yugo and go to pound-land]
    I'm thinking the whole entire reason why this video was made was not to save money but because he doesn't want to admit that he has an emotional investment in this lawn mower.
    and just doesn't want to buy another chinese-made piece of equipment that hasn't been furnished by European hands
    when people actually took pride in the things they made.

      $10 000 😂, behave yourself, can buy a mig welder for less than $200.

    Why would you waste your time on a junk mower like that?
