I dont know how many times my wife has rolled her eyes when she heres your videos. My 1 1/2 year old son loves them. He loves trying to help me work on stuff and watching your videos
22:48 --Milwaukee cordless ratchet!!! In the last year I bought the 3/8 stubby impact and a 3/8 ratchet. 40 year heavy equipment mechanic... Best tools I ever spent money on and I have bought a lot over the years--old Cat man--Albany Ga.. Taryl--keep those great videos coming...David
I have been planning on putting a hitch tube on the front of an old snowblower to move my trailer and use my snow plow that I have set up with a hitch tube on the tractor so I can pull the pin and put the plow or trailer ball. I came in to grab a bowl gasket and a primer bulb and here I am watching Taryl instead of working... Worth it ;-)
I have not come across one of these mowers. I am a big advocate of using what is on hand, Recycle Reuse Repair Repurpose. Great build by the way. Stay safe, Joe Z
@22:07 1000% Agree. I was helping a friend with his riding mower that wouldn't start. He had 2 people look at it and they said that he needed a new starter. I took Mr. Test Light and he found the problem; the solenoid wasn't getting juice when key was turned. I noticed that the positive battery terminal had a little corrosion. Sanded both battery terminals and the wire terminal (going to the solenoid) and the mower fired right up.
At first I could not watch you guys to wacky, but then I was rebuilding a Gx200 and you were doing a Gx160 so I watched and now I can't get enough! Keep'em coming. Fan in Florida.
I'm building a similar apparatus for a friend. Mounting it on his John Deere garden tractor for moving trailers around his yard and junk. But I'm using an electric actuator. No hydraulic leaks and plenty of power to lift anything he has. Makes me kinda miss my 93 Super Duty that started life as an ambulance. Just dump the air back under my trailers flip the switch let the airbags fill back up. Flip up the screw jack drop the pin and roll. Love your videos bro funny and educational! GOD bless you and cover you with his eternal love 💘
can't wait for the comedy sketch .Love you Taryl for who you are. Oh 1 more thing I keep forgetting to ask you . Do you ever get any diesel engines in your shop to work on ? Never seen a show but then again I just stumbled on to your channel by mear coincidence about 2 weeks ago .
Love your videos. You helped me acquire a Honda Goldwing. I'll tell you the story if I ever meet you. Instead of RV antifreeze, I use the subzero type wiper fluid in the rear lug tires of my Cub Cadet 2186. The wiper fluid is non corrosive. I use it for a rear mount tiller in the summer and snowplow or blower in winter. No chains and no weights to mess with.
Taryl Fixes All. Could you possibly make a video regarding the glass bowl sediment filters like was on the 1946 Orr Brush Cutter and how effective these type filters were compared to the new plastic inline filters. Thanks for all of your great videos.
Thanks for the vid and inspiring. Did a push-tow for my cars years ago to push it in to the garage. Put a car-tire on it worked fine, specially on the winter-time and some uphill. Waiting for part II. :) My friend had a similar mashine except for a steering wheel. His was from the 70´s i think...but his could not bend like your.
Seeing this old Scag 3 wheel mower brings back memories of using one (with a deck) at my job back in the early 90’s. They were fun to operate. Way to repurpose it!
I've welded quite a few plastic tanks with a soldering iron...I preheat the cracked area with a heat gun,then slightly trench the crack at 60watts pointed tip iron,then go over it @ 100watts with a flat tip,working in a circular motion,then do a final pass,using a nylon zip-tie with the iron still set @ 100watts with a pointed tip again,in the same fashion as TIG or Brazing,So there's no need for epoxy...takes a little time and a ton of patience,but its a hell of a lot better,than replacing a $200+ tank.....I like the wire nut hack too...gonna have to try that out
Sweet ! Never seen one of those Scag’s , gotta find one and build for our shop! When you talk about cleaning battery terminals, I remembered that I Had a guy bring a new top post battery back for warranty.....he still had factory plastic caps on posts !!! Whoa brother ! Put terminals on over plastic caps !
Yep I had to replace the fuel tank on my dads tall hood lt1000 and it had the same grommet and even the one from 95 didn't leak it actually lasted longer than the tank seam lol
All through the video I was thinking to myself "I'll bet he will be doing donuts out on the gravel lot just like Fast Food" and sure enough. Looks like your push/pull vehicle is working great. I can hardly wait to see the finished product. Nice to see Uncle Andy again.
Sounds like you got a bunch of starlings nesting. I get them above the sliding doors on my barn. Cute, but thank god they only next for a couple weeks.
Never-Seize was one of the tricks I learned when working on cars with aluminum heads. Occasionally the spark plugs would seize in the cylinder heads and take the threads right out with the plugs… no bueno!
Leave the wheel in place with a longer bolt through the center. You’ll be able to push or pull without having to get off and change the setup. Love your videos. I alway thumbs up before I watch it.
Another great episode and what will be a nice tomower. Just curious though how will you prevent damaging the free wheel lever on the rear,when pushing one?
My horizontal m20 kohler blew up so i bought a vertical block drilled out the spots on the casting for dip stick ,oil pump pick up tube and drain plug and turned it from a MV20 into a M20!
Your right Taryl those bushing's work well , i recently fitted one on a fuel tank from a Koholer magnum 8 engine. trouble was i had to use one from a wacker plant as the alternative was to order from your side of the pond and pay over $30, the one i bought was £1.90 inluding postage.
"You watchin' those hillbillies again?"....my boyfriend a little while ago! Well, what else is a gal gonna do on a slow holiday at the mower shop?!? :)
Awsome channel u have here.. tough i got a issue whit to b&s engines one is a 8hp the other a 11 hp both same issue. When the spark plug is connected the starter turns a little then it all stops almost as if thers somting bad inside going on.. and its not the issue off starter got 2 for testing, also good battery and cables (100ah battery new) just took off the toop too see if ther g or build up but nada cylinder looking good, next i ges look in crankshaft area, but any sugestions? Turns nice whit no splug
Very inventive. Creative. Good lessons.
Damn you Taryl! Now I have to watch pt.2! I got to go to work and absolutely love your video bud! Keep up the great work guys!
I dont know how many times my wife has rolled her eyes when she heres your videos. My 1 1/2 year old son loves them. He loves trying to help me work on stuff and watching your videos
Feels bloody great when ya get something going don't it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know what we’d do if Taryl and his crew stopped making videos.. freakin classic... love the ole scags ... 👍👍👍

That gel lube is awesome
This thing is gonna be handy as hell. Looking forward to the rest of the build!!

Taryl has the coolest lingo. Old school. You're the best

Great build by the way. Stay safe, Joe Z
Awesome build guys! That Kohler sounds sweet!
Love the Audio Sweetening Team of Mowing
Great Way To Start The Day.
Mr T. used the "It Ran;When" line. Love it.
@ 6:58 The classic "Ran when parked".... Hahaha!
Kool Taryl, that Gantry crane, built in America with American colors. Thumbs up!

Doesn’t take much to excite o’’lTarly some days but he knows how to enjoy life have a great day Tarly!
I appreciate you making these videos my 11 year old son is working on a 1990s marrays lawnmower he calls it swamp donkey.
Your the master of mower repair and build great idea.

Now that thing is go help you out bunches, nice going Taryl
Great video. Very impressive engineering on the fly. You make it look easy.
Great way to spend a Sunday watching Taryl and his boys !!!
can't wait for the comedy sketch .Love you Taryl for who you are.
Oh 1 more thing I keep forgetting to ask you .
Do you ever get any diesel engines in your shop to work on ? Never seen a show but then again I just stumbled on to your channel by mear coincidence about 2 weeks ago .
slather them terminals in dielectric grease and snug up the bolts. same for grounding points. that'l slow down the corrosion big time
Gotta love how nice those opposed twin Engines run!
U got mad skillz!!! 🍺🍺
Nice hacks to re-purpose this nice machine. Eagerly awaiting for part 2 (and 3?) of this project.

👍👌 WOW, ,,, Some MIGHTY (COMMON SENSE) engineering there THANKS TARYL for a well entertaining job WELL DONE [so far] 😍😍😍😍😍
i'm actually doing something similar with an older john deere garden tractor, great vid Taryl cant wait to see where this sweet build ends up
Taryl Fixes All. Could you possibly make a video regarding the glass bowl sediment filters like was on the 1946 Orr Brush Cutter and how effective these type filters were compared to the new plastic inline filters. Thanks for all of your great videos.

Uncle Andy had me cracking up!!!!....Love the "new" toy, love the Lucille Ball impression going in circles!!!!!!
Great video can't wait to see the finished product
Woooo woooo woo woo woo, Taryl you should make TV dinners
That tow vehicle was a great idea Taryl, should come in very handy 👍
Put a made in America sticker on it when it's finished !!
That thing is cool, great idea Taryl!
Nice work Taryl.
"You watchin' that hillbilly again"!.....
Oh man that cracked me up. Women just don't get the fine entertainment of building something cool 😎 ":¬(
I'm a woman that does! My boyfriend is the one who came in from our mower shop and said, "You watchin' those hillbillies again?" LOL!
Nice, No more back pain! To late for uncle Andy. Thx dactyl team!
Nice fun build 👍👏
Thanks for the video Taryl. Looking forward to the next one.
Pretty cool build Taryl, looking forward to part 2!
Well DAMN, That's going to be handy Slick Sorta Kinda . Boat, Trailer, Maybe even light trucks. I like it.
looking forward to part 2
Just made a purchase at the online store. Keep up the good content Sir!

That's pretty good man, nice work!!

I have to build one! tired of pushing tractors here at work! Especially Scrub Cadets!
Like the Dr. DOOLITTLE animal, you should name it the Pushmepullyou. Awesome video as always.
Sweet ! Never seen one of those Scag’s , gotta find one and build for our shop! When you talk about cleaning battery terminals, I remembered that I Had a guy bring a new top post battery back for warranty.....he still had factory plastic caps on posts !!! Whoa brother !

Looks like a good start Taryl. Good job buddy.
Yep I had to replace the fuel tank on my dads tall hood lt1000 and it had the same grommet and even the one from 95 didn't leak it actually lasted longer than the tank seam lol
You smart Dude!

Great idea. You still need to put some Diagonal Bracing on that Portable Hoist.
Good job,that is a grate tool real time saver,now you need a name for it contest lol
I repair plastic John Deere hoods with fibreglass cloth and resin and I sandblast my plastic before I apply it. It really holds that way.
Can't wait for part 2!
Taryl, that worked out pretty nice. Good idea!
Sounds like you got a bunch of starlings nesting. I get them above the sliding doors on my barn. Cute, but thank god they only next for a couple weeks.
Great video ,keep making lawn machines great. Johnny
Tow mater sure can do donuts 🍩👍 great build.
I like uncle Andy, can you put him in more videos?
Never-Seize was one of the tricks I learned when working on cars with aluminum heads. Occasionally the spark plugs would seize in the cylinder heads and take the threads right out with the plugs… no bueno!
Fantastic work Taryl , As alwaysWhat a great idea
That’s going to come in handy... nice work. 👍
That's a great machine and a fun build! Good to know uncle Andy didn't spill his beer😆
pretty cool wondering if I could use that Contraption to power my wheelbarrow
If you switch that engine from verticle to horizontal do you have to change anything inside like the oil splasher ??
Great job..love your videos
Taryl the homie
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
"The Tow-r Dactyl"
Hey Taryld .you were talking about vertical mount and horizontal,if could change ? i wonder is oil pump all the same?
Taryl dactal here ohhh I love it
Leave the wheel in place with a longer bolt through the center. You’ll be able to push or pull without having to get off and change the setup. Love your videos. I alway thumbs up before I watch it.
Great idea for a tow tractor it will be very useful and save time to get mowers in an out of the shop that not in running order.
Another great episode and what will be a nice tomower. Just curious though how will you prevent damaging the free wheel lever on the rear,when pushing one?
Awesome videos thank you I learned so much from you
Very good my friends
Smart idea, great video,
i LIKE IT! I like it a lot.
first excellent job this is epic thanks buddy
My horizontal m20 kohler blew up so i bought a vertical block drilled out the spots on the casting for dip stick ,oil pump pick up tube and drain plug and turned it from a MV20 into a M20!
Love it!!!! fixn stuff and stuff
Jarly jack your cousin is awesome your and junior are the best
Your right Taryl those bushing's work well , i recently fitted one on a fuel tank from a Koholer magnum 8 engine. trouble was i had to use one from a wacker plant as the alternative was to order from your side of the pond and pay over $30, the one i bought was £1.90 inluding postage.
"You watchin' those hillbillies again?"....my boyfriend a little while ago! Well, what else is a gal gonna do on a slow holiday at the mower shop?!? :)
The Kohler 20HP Command engine was on one of my old mowers. The engine long survived the rest of the mower (that wore out).
except that's a magnum engine. he says that in the video
Awsome channel u have here.. tough i got a issue whit to b&s engines one is a 8hp the other a 11 hp both same issue. When the spark plug is connected the starter turns a little then it all stops almost as if thers somting bad inside going on.. and its not the issue off starter got 2 for testing, also good battery and cables (100ah battery new) just took off the toop too see if ther g or build up but nada cylinder looking good, next i ges look in crankshaft area, but any sugestions?
Turns nice whit no splug
Entertaining video..thank you
That hydraulic cylinder sure is a familiar sound, I still got one of them amt's that I use almost every day
