  • In "Too Many Interruptions", local yokel Scruffy is back again. Taryl takes on this FREE brush cutter someone just gave him that wanted it gone and he tries to get it running and working again. It's been sitting awhile so we'll see if it's even worth going over. Before and After the fix attempt, Scruffy keeps interrupting Taryl whenever he asks him something prompting a swift solution to his nonsense. Stick around 'til the end for the hilarious conclusion. And There's Your Dinner!!

    I like that mower! Having the deck out front keeps the blade away from your feet and you can reach out over the edge of a ditch easier. They certainly don't make stuff like that anymore.

      Like a Yazoo and some Hahn Eclipse that were belt driven, In addition to keeping the blade further from your feet it also protected the crankshaft from damage if you hit a rock or some other hard stationary object with the blade.

    That was actually an expensive, good mower in its day, you are correct it wasn't a cheap mower, had a cast iron sleeve.I bought one slightly used in 88 for 400$, half of the new cost, the guy was moving to town from the farm and didn't have a use anymore. I mowed by fences and rough areas with it for 25 years. Motor still ran but the rest was just plain worn out.Twas made in the 🇺🇸

    Nice. I got an old Troy Bilt Horse tiller for free a few weeks ago. It had the original H60 Tecumseh 6 HP engine. All I did was replace the head gasket, clean and set the points, change the oil and spray the carb. Started on the first pull. Didn't need it so sold it for $300.00.

  • @tylershaffer2159
    @tylershaffer2159 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Hey Taryl! I have this same mower. It’s also an 87’.
    My father had me mow down the old corn stalks and weeds with it in the garden before he would till the soil with a gravely 5260 with a rotary cultivator attachment. Sometimes you had to lift the mower to get the stalks to go under.
    The choke lever on the carburetor could be pressed a little until it clicked if the mower needed more choke to start.
    The handles on that machine certainly have a unique feel.
    It’s been sitting unused for a few years because the coil is bad.
    I assume you put another foam filter in it. I don’t think the video shows the new filter with part number.
    Thanks for fixing this machine up and for the great video content!

    • @J.R.in_WV
      @J.R.in_WV 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@Francois_Dupontnah, you were close but engines of that design with the PLASTIC carbs and the foam / sponge crap glued in the tank to prevent “sloshing” were the worst. Aside from mounting the carb on the tank and using a diaphragm type “pump” to draw fuel instead of having a separate carb with a float bowl filled by gravity, I don’t think the side valve Briggs engines are any worse or any better than most of the contemporary 4 stroke side valve competition. I actually like them more than the comparable Tecumseh engines but I prefer Wisconsin / Robin and Kohlers a little more than the Briggs. The Wisconsin’s were REALLY well put together for a small 3-5hp engine. That said my favorite small engines of that vintage are the Lawn-Boy / OMC “F” engine and the Robin 2 strokes you could get on Snapper commercial models. For me it’s hard to beat those 2 strokes on a ~5-ish horsepower walk behind mower. The Suzuki 2 strokes on the Toros are pretty good too but pricey to work on. I still run my favorite lawn-boy 8-10 hours per week cutting mine and my parents lawns and it’s a 1989 model that was in commercial service working 25+ hours per week until I bought it in 2008. Other than pulling the muffler and cleaning it and the exhaust ports out every winter before storing it it has never needed more than a spark plug every few years and one coil replacement. The great part is it never needs an oil change and I can run the same gas in all my small power equipment including the mower.

    I had one of those - mine was actually a Troy Bilt 'brand'. It had a 10hp? (maybe 8hp) B&S engine. A friend inherited it from his father. The friend was crippled in a car wreck and gave the mower to me. It started and ran fine. Heavy - and with 10hp it was a beast. But my property has tons of rock - big rocks migrate to the surface with deep frost. The mower blade is belt driven - so no danger of rock damage. But I had a yard to maintain - not weeds or small brush. So after a couple of years I gave it to another friend.
    I actually thought my was made in the late 60's. I thought I once looked that up. It had that 50's, 60's 'feel' to it. Felt like older design and manufacture. With that 10hp Briggs and high gear, you'd better hang on! I never missed it. But it did have a purpose for the right person. It was built to last. Now that I think of it, I still have the manual.

    Ol' Scruffy is hilarious!!! That mower worked out pretty good, but sounded like the engine was laboring with the blade engaged. Sounded kinda like a spindle bearing or something dragging. And, of course, it was low on dinosaur syrup. So many people just can't seem to 'get it' when it comes to maintaining the oil on a lawn mower.

Tecumesh motor is the rare one with the reversing pulley on it. Lots and lots of hours on it. Only repair in 40 years was a carb kit and exhaust valve replacement.

    Looked like it worked really good.... Looked amazing all cleaned up. That thing is a time capsule....
    I agree, probably hardly used. The paint didn't even have scratches.... And really, what's the usage case.... So you cut down the tall grass off in that section of your huge yard... Rake it out, pick out the rocks, seed it up.... Now it's lawn, you can cut it with your lawnmower... So the Troy Built just sits in the garage.... Unless you are a Pro Landscape Person, how often do you really need that thing????

    Pops bought a similar mower in 89 with the same engine, we ran it until 2006 when the deck finally rusted so bad that the engine fell through the deck. Also started on 1st or 2nd pull every time, never had carb off. New plug, oil change and oil up a new air filter every spring. I would take one of those brush mowers any day over the modern junk. Hands down.

  • @laserflexr6321
    @laserflexr6321 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That thing is kinda a veerdoh. Cant wait to see it cleaned up and see what that really is. I did about a half acre of 1/2 diameter saplings and vines for this woman and she insisted I use her troybilt sickle bar mower. It used a bungee strap to put tension squeezing the blades together and at first glance I thought what kind of hokey crap is that? But I figured out the controls and went to cutting brush with it and quickly realised, there is probablly no better way to tension those blades. Had you used a spring there would be more vibration, the rubber has some dampening to it to reduce all the banging. That was actually a really nice machine for clearing a 3 year old unkept lot. A sickle uses a lot less power than a rotating blade. Shore wished I had one of those now! Cant sell em cause of liability, that blade is wide open and would take a dogs leg off in an instant. I got a Stihl power scythe for my KM 94r to do the same thing. I like that for poison ivy cause it lays down and chops everything instead of slinging it all over you like a line trimmer would.

    With that style of mower people push down on the handles tweaking the handle upwards would have solved the engagement problem when people push down on the handle to make a turn or lift up the front end overtime it pushes those handles down awesome video👍🤠

    In the 1980s Garden Way also marketed a solid Maple workbench you could buy through the mail and assemble yourself. It came with two very nice wood vises and four bench dogs. Very nice heavy workbench. I still have mine.

    Garden way built good stuff. I've repaired the engines on several of their tillers. The rest of the tillers were great.

    We had a 1999 Troy-Bilt 42 inch cut riding mower with the Kohler Command 16HP engine. It was a rock solid machine. It's a shame MTD (many troubles daily) ran them into the ground

    Have a MTD 95 20 Horse V twin IC and still use it to cut my lawn and I have a big lawn. Has a 46 inch cut 3 blade. Getting parts is getting a bit hard to find but still love this old mower. Need to rebuild the front end as it's a bit wore now so will be looking for parts for it next.
    I wished I could still find the old style Yazoo big wheel. You could cut down a forest with one of those back in the day. Prefer the old choke and throttle instead of all this new junk they have now on Mowers. Can't hardly find any of those engines any more with that style of carb. I live in Oklahoma so we have lots of weeds and Grass that can grow a foot high in a week.

    I have a big wheel mower called a Yazoo and it still works after 30 + years. almost identical except no plastic and saftey BS I wonder were all of the modern mowers of today will be 30+ years from now?

    I remember seeing mowers like that back in the day. Could not fathom how they thought bike tires were a good idea for anything other than aesthetics. Never knew anyone who actually owned one though.

      I had a real old Dr mower,it had tall steel spoke wheels on the back And just rails on the front, it was the early brush mower

      It is basic physics. You need large diameter wheels to go over ruts and fallen material easily. You need narrow wheels because they are light weight and do not bog down the engine.

    You would have cried the day MTD took over the factory in Troy. Company I worked for at the time was doing a lot of the powder coating for Troy-Bilt prior to the switch so we hit there plant weekly to swap painted and raw parts. Got to know their crews pretty well. Got there one day not long after the take over and MTD was clearing out any equipment that they already had in their line, They just wanted the tillers and a couple mowers that were Troy-Bilts best known machines. All the rest were being smashed with hammers and cut up as scrap. They had dumpsters filled with spare parts and cut up machines that didn't fit the new line up. I got there to drop off some of the last parts we had for them and the crew asked if there was anything I wanted. Left there with a 26' box truck full of parts and complete new machines, even had a couple Bolens diesels (rebadged Isekis) on there as they were scrapping all the Bolens line as well. Unloaded them at my place and kept a few items, gave some to family and sold the rest off to a local dealer.
