Riding Mower Pulled From A Field Where It Died. Will It Run?

Figuring out why this ariens riding mower stopped running and was left in a field. #willitrun #lawnmower #cheap

Mouse must have enjoyed the ride at @1:35. When the front tires turned, I was laughing saying oh boy here we go. Turned out well. :)

Luckily, that happened at the bottom of the ramps, the deck was dragging the entire time on the left side. That definitely didn’t help things. Probably should’ve took the deck off, but it had no issues when loading so I didn’t think about it until it was already halfway down. Thanks for watching

Good find

[@FenrirFabrication]

Thanks for watching, It really seems like the only issue was the carburetor having a couple clogged passages plus a front deck adjuster being missing. A 20 minute fix was all it would’ve taken to get it back to work, but instead it was left to sit for over a year in the middle of a field in Illinois letting the mice move in…

You got a great deal 👍

The mice were a bonus. But in all seriousness around me it’s pretty easy to find riding mowers cheap or free, sadly they usually end up in the junkyard when they could easily be put back in service. Thanks for watching , I’ll definitely have small flipping projects every now and then on the channel, since the main projects end up costing thousands and get delayed on parts for extended periods of time.

You got a great deal not a fan of those plastic cvt transmissions either

[@FenrirFabrication]

Thanks for watching, sadly when they make a component that takes a ton of abuse out of plastic, you know it’s designed to fail…
