Hey JB, been watching a lot of your short videos, glad to see you back in the garage!! Be well my friend.
Hey John! The garage gal and I usually film those when we’re you shopping! Trying to give some out there some product reviews as well! Thanks for watching as always! What’s the plan this weekend?
@@GarageGear Weekend chill, got the yard work done earlier this week. Hope the same for you. School's almost done for the summer. be well.
@@johnbelliveau4704 got some filming to do today! Other than that should be a pretty easy weekend. Schools out in a few weeks! Looking forward to it! 👍enjoy the weekend bud!
@@GarageGear 😎😎 you too.
How about a video for the best height for your lawn to encourage growth. Along with the best time of day, patterns etc....
I like where your head is at Matthew!
Great device to add to any piece of OPE. I typically buy the hour meters that also double as a tachometer. Helps with engine tuning when needed. And they're only a few dollars more.
RIGHT ON SMALLBLOCK! Got them on tons of stuff in my garage! Good to have the tach too! What’s the plan for this weekend?
@@GarageGear Going to a wedding tomorrow. My wife's cousin. Yay 🤣
@@smallblock412 have fun my friend!
These are awesome JB! Thanks to you, I ordered a red/black combo pack for $13. Always nailing it bro!
ROCK ON KEITH! Thanks for being a cool fan!
Ariens or HRX217VKA? Just bought the HRX while they’re still available… but still curious what you think. Installed an hour meter with your help. Love your channel bro.
Hey DMC! HRX all the way! Appreciate you my friend! 👍
Great add to any gasoline device, spend $5more and get one you can reset the time and also program alarm depending on hours run
You got it cramos!
I’ve seen this before from you. Added this one to my HRN from your other video. This item works really well, and an inexpensive piece of mind.
You got it brian! Thanks for watching my friend!
Another Great video, I’ll be adding one to my HRX. Thanks !
ROCK ON Jordan! 👍
Really great video JB! Those hour meters are definitely good for maintenance info if you remember to keep track of it. My JD tractor has one built into the screen information. I see your approaching that 100K milestone! That’s awesome! Maybe you’ll get to use the pool this weekend. Any other plans for the weekend? Cheers neighbor!
Hey Jay! Definitely helpful! Love having them on any machine in my garage! Getting really close! We’ll be there soon! Appreciate followers like you helping me get there! Pool is still a little cool. We’ll see. Bike ride later! Antique world tomorrow! You?
My wife's birthday today so grilling something nice. Tomorrow my youngest Grandsons birthday. Enjoy the weekend my friend!
@@jaybooth4815 awesome! Tell them JB said happy birthday!!! Have fun bud!
Nice and timely video. Thanks.
Yeah? Planning on doing this to your machine?
Hey JB thanks for your videos they’ve been very helpful just bought a Honda mower working great. Quick question though what height would you recommend to cut Bermuda grass? Thanks JB keep it up.
Depending on your lawn the best height of cut for Bermuda is generally between 1-2 inches! Appreciate you Jose!
Congratulations on 90,000 subscribers JB.
Thanks WHITIE! Couldn’t have gotten this far without you! How ya been bud?
Great video as always JB, thanks! Can I ask, did you sell your Honda HRN for the Ariens 190 dual blade? I have that Ariens now and it mulchs nicely but gets bogged fairly easily in wet grass. Am planning to replace it for a Honda HRC commercial 21'' while I can still get one. Different price point to be sure but as gas mowers get phased out, I want to have something that I think will last the longest, especially with the a GX series engine. Welcome your thoughts and thanks.
Hey gsiracusa I still have my Honda! She ain’t going no where! Go get that commercial Honda! Sell that ariens! lol I’ll be selling mine off at some point! Thanks for watching my friend!
Good video, thank you.
QUESTION: 1 tag end of wire goes to Hour Meter.
The other end of the wire wraps around the plug wire... where does that "tag end" go??
Thanks....
The spark plug end of the wire simply gets looped around and zip tied tight. That’s it. It will start picking up the flow of the current from there! 👍
@@GarageGear
OK, thank you for that info!! 👍🏼
@@chaspruitt2610 you got it!
If those are anything like the hour meter on my riding mower I'd have to say that they should somehow hold their reading even if the battery goes flat. My rider is 14 years old and I can't imagine it having its own internal battery that would have lasted that long, especially during the cold winter months. I take the mower's battery out every winter to store it indoors in our utility room and trickle charge it once in a while, yet every spring when I put it back in and fire the mower up the hour meter comes on and shows where I shut it off from the autumn before.
More great info! Thanks for sharing rebel
5:40 - "You're goin' in whether you want to or not, pal."
That's what she said!
Thanks for another shoutout, JB!
🤣
I would just like to point out that I followed this up with the word.. “perfection”… appreciate you mace! 👍🤜🤛
How about when u hose the mower? Any problems? 👍 Great idea!
No issues. Washed my Honda with one dozens of times. 👍
One. I'm surprised you're keeping this dud of a mower. Two I like the hourmeters with tachometers on them. I run them on all my stuff except the chainsaws.
I have a few more possible videos planned for this gal but have no fear come the end of the season she’s going up for sale! 👍
Funny thing about hour meters is they don’t tell you if the routine maintenance was actually done! I use a maintenance journal to track that… the meter enables timely maintenance when combined with the journal.
Or spend $5more and buy the next level with tach and programable alarms to different hours setup
@@cramos7287 Over the years my family has had various garden tractors, zero turns, and other equipment that came from the factory with hour meters… Maintaining logs for them and the automobiles, trucks, motorhome, motorcycles, snow mobiles, etc. required record keeping… it’s a way of life. For some of the equipment the records simply were written on the framing studs in the garage… others in log books.
This is true! Logging the info somewhere is helpful!
I added an hour meter to my mower 7/1/2024. It's an older Toro recycler 20333 (2015). I didn't have a flat surface I liked so I mounted it on the personal pace handle. The cord wasn't long enough so I bought a lamp cord replacement at a big box store. Split it in two. Ran it through existing guides. Worked great. I had watched one of your previous videos last year about doing this.
Awesome my friend! Great idea! 👍👍
JB - makes it difficult to soft power wash the mower, though. I get it, don't spray it, but still. Thumbs up.
That is true! Another gear grinder lol! Thanks for watching chuck!
I wish I had seen this video before I I poked a hole in my cover. Toro high wheel Line Trimmer. Spring Mouse Check. LOL Never needs OIL change.
Hahaha wow! Never needs an oil change???🫨
I use my watch and a little note book, old fashioned I know.
Whatever works best for you my friend! 👍👍
Great video as always!
Thanks 10mm! What’s going on in your garage this weekend?
@@GarageGear two timemasters … sold one … also sold a Husqvarna articulating lawn mower
@@10mmsocket32 awesome my friend! Busy day in your garage!
If you ask me… Mr. T deserved the respect to be on your whiteboard. Just sayin. Lol
Hahaha I pity the foo who forgets to put Mr. T on the white board! Have a good weekend Apex!
But my Toro lawnmower's owners manual said I never need to change the oil?
Hahaha those manuals make for great kindling
@@GarageGear I agree!
I was just trying to Grind Your Gears! 🤣
@@StlrNtn95 good friends know exactly how to get on each others nerves the right way lol! 👍thanks!
FYI... Your hour meter is inductive, no battery required!
@@svgs650r thanks for sharing svgs
I never heard of a hour meter on a push mower 😮
Oh yeah been using them for years!
@@GarageGear okay thanks for the video on this matter of the hour meter on a push mower
@@robertmailhos8159 you got it my friend!
How's that new Ariens mower?
He did a full vid on it. Final grade about a C+.
Hey buell! Here is the full review! IS THE ARIENS RAZOR LAWN MOWER WORTH BUYING? (Brutally Honest Review)
th-cam.com/video/KEbBSB6TR0o/w-d-xo.html if you watch it you’ll know where I stand! Thanks for watching
@@GarageGear watched it too. Seems most manufacturers are a disappointment these days. I'm trying to find an old John Deere aluminum deck mower like you have.
@@JmanRx81 ariens reached out to me about the mower and want to talk. We’ll see what they have to say. You’ll find one of those John Deere’s. Keep an eye on marketplace they pop up from time to time!
Ordered this same meter in red. Wire was missing from the package.
What?! Can you return it?
Sure JB, can return it within 30 days, but I'll find a wire that'll work.
Hopefully....
Things going to be lucky if it passes 100 hours without anything breaking
Hahaha Right!?!?! I’ll be doing a few more videos with this mower and then she’s going up for sale! What’s the plan for the weekend?
Cheap piece of mind!
You got it! 👍 definitely helps with maintenance throughout the seasons!
Are they waterproof?
I’ve gotten mine wet on other mowers and no issues! I would try underwater mowing anytime soon tho! lol! Thanks for watching!
hour meter for lawn mower?? sounds ghey.
Thanks for watching
