I remember seeing one of these posted to a small engine group back in May, totally blew my mind as to why anyone would change a design that's worked just fine for so many years lol
I read that this company uses this same engine on their snow blowers. I don't see snow blowers in Florida so if in the future you see one make a video about it. I don't believe Jeremy has snow blowers in Texas. But I could be wrong. 😂
Yah I have seen some videos on theses never one in person. Terribly mowers. Get a goat instead
It’s like they had horizontal shaft engine that they didn’t want to design to be a vertical shaft. So they adapted it with more parts to fail.
Imagine that!! Thoses are cool little projects 10bucks well spent!!
Thanks Mowermedic1 !!!! New subscriber here, excellent content you have here! Wow, I can't for the life of me figure out what possible advantage the guy who designed this thing thought he was offering. What a RUBE GOLDBERG !!!! Makes no sense to me at all. Thanks again.....will watch for your next show !!!!
PowerSmart is the bottom of the barrel in power equipment. I bought a hedge trimmer, its OK for light use (I used it to cut vines away from a fence). The matching 20V trimmer is garbage.. Assemble the gear and keystock with plenty of grease and it will reduce the chatter and prolong its life, sounds stupid but it helps with other drive systems last longer.
I work on them the knock is in the gear box they all do it they are junk they are sold at wal- mart in my area I own a small engine repair shop the snap ring moves. I"ve worked on 5 of them all the same. forest city nc
That looked like Herbie the love bug when you were pushing it😅
Using camera as second help great idea
I’m in West Texas and I have not seen any yet but will be looking, would like to have one just to take apart and check it out
Put a dial on crank and see what it shows 😊😊😊😊
Interesting machine.. A bodge with the welder may be required here or a wider key with Loctite 648..
I would make one good mower out of two. Then get some extra wheels for the knocker and weld up that gear to the gearbox shaft and fill the box with grease and see how long I could use it till it self destructed the box!! Worth a try!! May work for years!! The twin machine I think will meet the same fate!!😊
Keep going
Interesting .
Very Valuable video! Thanks for making it. I must say I have never seen this mower before. As mentioned in a earlier comment, I read that this company uses this same engine on their snowblowers.
I been waiting for a video on one of these type of mowers. Thanks for the Shout out it always great to see one of my tools in use
I have never seen one on a push mower either but they sure are interesting. Maybe you can still make 1 good one out of the 2…👍👍👍
Interesting
Haven’t seen any vertical shaft engines for sale at Harbor Freight in a year or more. EPA bullshit, I suppose!
Good job Bobby!
Great video. I haven't seen one of those in the UK yet... keep up the good work sir!
I have never seen nor do I want to own one of those mowers!
I can’t wait to take one apart and see how it’s made 😊😊😊😊😊
Just imagine going into some long grass and smoking your blade belt on a push mower 😅 also surprised they didn't use a cogged/timed belt. For $10 it was well worth the video, thanks for filming this. I won't be recommending them lol seems overcomplicated.
I just looked at Walmart website. Blows my mind this model mower was the most expensive one the rest of this brand were not not the same horizontal motors im thinking that they disconnected them and are trying to dump the rest Chris from OHIO gooooooo Buckeyes
Thanks for this video Jeremy. I've never seen this type mower til now. It definitely seems to be over engineered for what appears to be a simple push mower. They seem to be re-inventing the wheel here!!
Yep, they re-invented the wheel alright! A SQUARE wheel !!!!!
I JUST had that same mower come into my shop a couple of weeks ago! First time I've ever seen a horizontal shaft push mower, too. From what I found, it looks like it's some kind of chinese carp sold online. Did you ever find parts for it? Also... where did you get your lift? I NEED one of those!
That is a strange one a mower that is horizontal shaft engine that turns the.blade😮
These mowers were from a Walmart chain. I had the same from a customer who stated that it was using to much fuel, The reason is that it was all going straight into the crankcase. The exact same thing happened..bad crank. I have a new customer who has the 170CC engine and I can hear a strange noise even without the plug being installed. I advised her to get a newer motor that has been around for a bit, but even those are being made cheap as well.
Jeremy ,i think i would just weld the gear to the crank and put it back together. When it eventually wears out just scrap the mower. Might get a few year of use out of it! 👍🇺🇸
what brand is your lift table
thanks for your videos
Toro commercial grade walk behinds are horizontal shaft .
First time I’ve seen one. Thanks for sharing. Bad design. Bad engineering. New to market and good advertising.
I am wondering if the horizontal design is that way to speed up the blade speed by changing the pulley size.
Have not seen any of these around Pittsburgh. Could it be a proto type or part of a pkg? Interesting vid.
its hard to find parts for them
Something 2LookAt You Tube channel has a one of these.(or very similar) he has videos on these mowers, even cut a few of his customers lawns with them.
What size is the out put shaft ???
How many cc is it ???
Bet the belt is 45 bucks lolol
Good luck with the blade spindle shaft. I don't know where or how to get that and i believe they took planned obsolescence to the max here.
Marshmower- planned obsolescence right out of the box.
Interesting revelation!!
Must be a German design. LOL
It looks like the carb issue rocked the shaft to oblivion!
Put a steel oversize key and a spacer and crank it tight. If it breaks no loss.
I've had to "reassemble" tools to make them work right or at all.
My guess is that with the high availability of these "Honda Clone " engines , maybe it is practical to build this style of mower.
Yes fix it
Well, it was interesting anyway.
Looks like something made by EZ Works
Seen them as low as $169 on eMay. Because they may do whatever
Now you have an engine for an air compressor
Stihl is making a zero turn mower I hear. Can you give an input this. Some one said Ferris is making them. An info would be appreciated. Mike
You are correct they are made by Farris, which intern is made by the Briggs & Stratton power products corporation, which is absolutely garbage stay away
after watching this, im going to bet those mowers dont last long, but they are dirt cheap
Never seen one like that. More moving parts? The original design worked, why would someone change it?
Is hard to understand what is the benefit with this design. Maybe the manufacturer had a warehouse full of these engines and another warehouse full of empty mover decks and had to come up with this design to pair the two. 🤔
you have to put a shorter key in it
Why ? Why would they make something like that and expect it to work right.
Weld it and let’s see how long it lasts before it blows
Hot dog you know you can’t wait to tare into it ……😮
Powersmart = Oxymoron Why, why, why? Maybe the flywheel key won't shear from hitting a brick but the other two keys on the drive unit failed. What were they thinking?
I just... no. I think they got a bulk sale on motors at HF and reinvented the wheel to use them up.
Looks like I can get parts through their website. The mower in the video can be had for $219.00. Not worth putting a lot of money into.
Walmart, $229.00
How much do you wanna bet that those engines are cheaper and more abundant in china because they can be adapted to more equipment, so it was probably cheaper to add the gear box to make push mowers out of a generic engine. That sure is a curious design. I can see the gear boxes failing from lack of maintenance in a few years and they will get tossed left right and centre.
Rejected mini bike motors repurposed for cheapie mowers. Maybe.....
I have one of these. And the crappiness of this mower why I’m watching. The drive shaft wobbles around. It does fire and run like a champ. It’s just the blade is all over the place. Sigh. I don’t possess your repair skills. I feel robbed. It’s got me through one season. I guess.
I feel it is a bad design the first time i saw it i knew it was a bad design. At work there is a Yazoo big wheel mower that came in it is so much better made than any consumer box store grade push mower heck its way better than a Honda the DR trimmer is a Good mower also. The worst walk behind mowers are the pulsar power smart and black max mowers with the plastic deck mowers home depot had powersmart mowers for over half the price the power smart mowers are poorly made also we have had alot of powersmart mowers come in and the customers leave them behind and we have to find a way to dispose of them dont buy powersmart mowers at any cost get a Toro
WHY ??? 🤣
Power smart chinese why reinvent the wheel?
Hey tear it down let’s see the inner workings. I tell you now I’m not working on them. Look what you have to do diagnostic wise.
Literally takes 10 min to completely tear one down
How about robbing the parts from the other mower. The gear box may not be destroyed.
Second video coming soon. Stay tuned.
I would never buy one $35 one cost first day Lewman oh so scored up like it like a two second but rings is rather much better if they put cast-iron in the city so no I am
The American gasoline destroyed it
why would any one built a piece of junk like that.. if you do any thing put a hft motor on where you can mount blade on shaft like it's been for more than 75 years. thanks for the video i hope it saves some body from buying one. where was this thing made? take care, be safe and well.
I looked it up and PowerSmart is in Itasca, Illinois since 1990.
@@dougsorensen7594 thanks i don't know how they lasted this long.
Never saw one and would definitely stay away from it now👍
If you gave ten dollar for two, ya paid too much.
WHY, WHY, WHY?! At first I thought maybe it’s a blade clutch so they went through all that to make the idler retractable, but no. I just don’t see any reason for that design unless they had a ton of horizontal shaft engines and a ton of pinion gears and needed to find a way to get rid of them all. Bizarre design and engineering FAIL!
PowerMore, PowerSmart, Pulsar all equal JUNK. period.
Absolute junk! I got one in that was a vertical shaft engine. Customer ran it out of oil and it was shot. Didn't spend much time on it and gave it back to the customer. This thing was cheaply made and I wouldn't know where to get a part for it if another one crosses my path.
Like most of the commenters, I've never seen one either. Junk!
Just another example of the Chinese trying to reinvent the light bulb. . .What a piece of junk!
No room in the deck for grass clippings, I guess there is a bagger for it but it looks like the grass clippings will have to fight gravity to go up into the bag and stay there the way that rear chute is designed. It's all engine. The engine extends upwards with the gas cap on top and then extends down into the deck heaving little room for the grass to circulate. Terrible design, very little functional use whatsoever. Let's not even talk about the wheels. I've never seen lawn mower wheels wobble like that
Cannot imagine anyone purchasing anything like this, design is terrible. Never seen anything like it “walking or running”.
What kind of engineering is that. Man, talk about complicating things for no apparent reason. Destined to fail.
