- 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!!

MTD……making Taryl Dollarbills….
no fun that way. Look at it from the viewpoint of engineers looking for a job. Monkeys talking dollars.
CEO's required to work out the noose rope.
Yup Yup Yup
Lol

What name brand rpm meter do you use
Making Troybuilt Defunct
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 🇺🇸
Great job Taryl !
Too many people just throw everything away these days.
That's because its mass produced junk .
Nice job. That mower was from back in the day when they made some quality equipment. Thanks for the vid.
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.
Some folks call it a swing blade, I call it a flail blade!
Mmm-hmmm.
I want some fried taters
@@terrywitt5543
Fried taters and onion = great meal !
I've ate a lot of 'em, still love 'em ! 👍😊
@@norman7179 I love them to I was referring to billy bob Thornton movie swing blade that was his line want me some fried taters
@@terrywitt5543
Haven't seen the movie but love the taters and onions.
Thanks for your reply ! 👍😊
Anytime I get a new to me toy, i can usually find what I need to fix it, on taryl fixes all. Thanks again.
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.
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.
You continue to inspire me, sir. Thank you
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.
Great bush mower. Kinda looks like an early model of a DR MOWER.
I really like that mower😊
Garden way built good stuff. I've repaired the engines on several of their tillers. The rest of the tillers were great.
I had that engine once but eight years old I didn't think to check the points. I want one so badly to put on a push mower and see and see and hear it work.
Yazoo, johnson big weel, gravely, toro all had a version of this mower.
Poor Fluffy🙏🙏🐱
Nice taryl. Could use that around my pond
That's funny, what am I supposed to do with it,i run a lawn mower shop..😆
Reminds me of my Old Hahn Eclipse rear high wheels self propelled belt drive cast aluminum deck. Loved that old mower did more with 3.5 hp then these new 6 hp can do
We had a mower manufacturer her in south Alabama called Carter brothers. Made good mowers, a lot like this mower.
Great job.
Nice mower, now that you got it going,oil it up.
It needs a good bath and cleaning!
Awesome thanks for sharing
Hey teryl. Always remember and never forget. It takes two to make a row
Love the video Taryl… thank you. I always thought the subscriber information was a requirement from TH-cam. Everybody does it! I guess some people just need something to bitch about.
some folks call it a sling blade
What brand/model power washer do you have?
looks like you had to repair your harbor freight tire changer mine the welds keep letting go and now the tire iron thing is bent like a banana
MTD-many troubles daily
MTD began as The Modern Tool and Die Company in 1932 in Cleveland, Ohio.
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.
Oh they make it it's just in the commercial space and costs 3x as much as it should.
I was impressed how the engine speed hardly changed cutting those tall weeds.
That’s not a bad machine compared to the junk MTD pushes out today. It would have been a shame to see that get scrapped. Still has one of the good B&S engines too. Cool project Taryl!
lol, those 3-5 (fake) Horse Power engine with that particular design of carb were the worst.
@@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.
This was before MTD got their hands on it.
I'm going with MTD standing for (Massive Turd Dump)
As always taryl takes a thrown away mower, and breathes new life into it. So it may have a 2nd chance at life. 👍
Many moons ago I have used a couple different lawnmowers built on the same design as the one in the video. Yazoo mowers and Johnson mowers both had a version identical to it. Very durable design and quality of materials in comparison to modern mowers.
That looks like a well made machine. It is some what like the old Yazoo mowers, heavy duty, built to last.
The closest machines that are built today would be the products from DR Industries.
Thank you for making and posting the videos, they are humorous and educational, hats off to you and your boys.
Best Regards
I agree on DR equipment, it’s tuff and well made and I don’t mind paying them more money eather 😊
DR is part of Breaks and Scrap'em now.@@philliphall5198
Once you said the prices of that part made me think of time here about two months ago when I was searching for a carburetor for a 20 horse supposed to in Briggs & Stratton and once I found out how much it would cost to get a carburetor from Briggs & Stratton I ended up going to eBay and after tax and shipping I paid like $27 and the reason why I went with the cheap one is because Briggs & Stratton wanted $350 for replacement carburetor
That cleaned up surprisingly well!
Malfunctions Then Dies
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?
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!
Everybody knows MTD stands for Make Trash Daily
Got to have safety because people are stupid! 🤣 Words of wisdom.
Stupid if you don’t use safety products that are available
Reminds me of an old Yazoo big wheel mower
I still have a yazoo big wheel, havent used it in years,
Troy bilt used to make really good stuff. Dad has a Troy Built Junior tiller from 1983 with a Tecumesh motor and everything still works great! 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.
MTD is Modern Tool and Die. Over the years, MTD acquired the Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Cub Cadet, Craftsman (owned by its minority partner), and Yard-Man brands and/or companies. MTD Craftsman mowers utilize the Sears "247" model prefix. Looks like a good project for you though.
Yay! You can copy and paste a Google result! Congratulations!
One of Briggs' best L-head engines.
I remember Troy Bilt when they were Garden Way. Now I feel old.
Only an experienced lawn mower repairman like yourself can figure out why the control system was faulty and repair it without getting new controls. I thought my snow hound was an odd machine with weird controls, but that baby takes the cake. But it did make a good Sunday video and how people can screw up a good machine by wrecking the control system..
Looks like a well-built machine. Those days are over.
Neat video Taryl ,BUT DAM IT,while watching your video,someone came by with a BRUSH CUTTER and CUT a big path through my HIDDEN POT plot.I think it must have been that lazy old man down the road that keeps bitching he wants to cut through my yard to get to the liqueur store faster and was tired of the sticker bushes i planted in there to keep the kids from stealing my crop.
Almost like a real early DR mower,great video thumbs up
They dr stuff has been around for awhile, they didn't invent them they just rebranded it lol.
@ronniewilliz153 and they were bought out a couple years ago
MTD = Made To Die
MTD = Mow Till Detonation
Nice unit! looks to have been used sparingly over the years also.
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.
MTD, Made To Deteriorate. I have a MTD push mower, and like it after 3 seasons so far.
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.
Mowers To Dump
@frankbill9172 even at my shop,I get these real oddball machines, sure I get them going, then they just sit,no one wants them,have a whole bunch as we speak, have a whole fleet of STX 38 tractors also,after a while they become clutter
Mighty Tuff Decision
I remember these mowers when they were being sold by Troy Built and they were about $1200.00. They were basically a commercial grade push mower.
That there is a “layered up” version of the Yazoo and Johnson mowers from my childhood days! Yazoos we’re hell on wheels mowers. Our had a Clinton engine.
Good job/great find!!
Amazing how good it cuts with a dull blade, an OE spark plug and OE carburetrator.😀
I've got a Troy-bilt Horse tiller I bought new in the 1980's. Still use it to garden. Nice job on this mower!
Tuff-Cuts are the amazing.
They work best when you cut out the bumper and the cover in front of the blade.
...maybe you could retrofit an alternator/battery system

Made To Die.
@@benrobles752 Mowing Takes Days.
M uch T oo D eprorable . my apologies to mtd guys . they're really not that bad , just oddly engineered .
@@billsmith1770 I've never really had many issues if any with their products.
it's just like a yazoo but with a different name i have a old 26 inch cut yazoo with a wisconsin robin engine on it
33 years on a spark plug, good golly miss molly. Maybe running at less than max rpm was a reason for it's long life? Front spindle and idler needing grease? I think you were confusing swinging blade with flail mowers. Machine looks like a Yazoo clone. Nice machine, great that you rescued it.
I used to have a Yazoo similar to that one, with a Wisconsin engine, wish i had it back.
I love my Tuff-cut. Only reason I don't use it a lot is I got a gravely with the brush-mower attachment.
Going to fire mine up this evening for the heck of it.
Keep up the great videos.
When I was a kid, I used to mow a lawn for someone who had one of these. It was a very reliable machine. It's the only one I'd ever seen in my life till now! What a blast from the past!
I would love to buy this mower, but I do not live close enough to do so.😢
The Briggs @ Stratton side valve and Victa 2 stroke are the two best lawn mower engines ever made.
Had 8hp version of this but had the swivel casters on front. Bought it at factory store in Troy NY. Mowed alot of lawns with it.
I have a 1987 Troybuilt tiller. Starts right up and runs great. They made them good back then. Nice video!
Will any one be getting electric mowers going in 30 years time?
That blade drive looks a lot like the the drive lock on a DR Trimmer.
*Great work brother* 👍❤😊
Would you share a link for the digital tachometer you used?
That works and cleaned up great Taryl!
8:40 Or as AvE calls it (and if it's ether starting fluid), Dr. Huxtable's Date-In-A-Can! 😄
Cosby sauce.
Good video Taryl!! Nice to see the old machines come back to life. Probably make someone a really good brush mower!
poor fluffy...no more chewing wires for him ..rip
Who TF would downvote this video??
MTD executives
It's amazing how many vintage machines you get and they still run. These videos are awesome 😊
Very nice hopefully it goes to someone who really needs it… love the skit. 👍👍👍
Nice those engines are pretty scarce. I sold an extra tank I had to somebody hed been looking for one for a few years
MTD owns Rover here in Australia. Rover were the main competition to VICTA for walk behinds here. The machines were made in Brisbane and were much better than VICTA (imo). MTD have to compete in today's market with the flood of Chinese products...must be difficult and yes, costs will be minimised at the expense of quality.
I remember those.... They weren't cheap. The marketing was kinda aimed at the consumer who had the big house, and the big piece of property, and wanted to do stuff on a larger scale.....
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????
MTD = More Trash for the Dumpster!
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
Reminds me of an old Yazoo mower
Definitely don't always trust Parts Tree's inventory.
I've came across parts on a few different occasions, where they say they are available, but they are not.
Since Parts Tree is basically just a wholesaler and not a supplier, they don't update their website very often.
That sure looks like an old Yazoo mower I used for years, until some drive parts that were integral with the wheels wore out. It was unusual in that the wheel drive wasn't taken off the crankshaft like most, but was instead off an extension of the camshaft! Otherwise, it was just your regular 5 hp vertical shaft Briggs engine.
Made back in. The Day when this Engines were made to n last
It looks like a Yazoo mower that I have had for over 40 years only the controls are difference , the blade spinners when you cranks it up, a lever to put it in motion.
That has a design similar to the Lazy Boy Mowers manufactured
by the Parmi Company back in the 70's. I managed to save one of
those for myself. I believe this mower has the same engine as mine
does. Very cool mower indeed. Cheers! 🍻
I feel like you read my other comment because you said diaphragm! I got a free 1990 Toro GTS 5.5 hp FREE at a yard sale. its all bent up but looks to be in good shape. Now I got 2 toros! A 2016 with a Kohler XT675. And this 1990 model. I bet you have a video on it. I'll go look. Great as always Taryl!

More Taryl Dactyl vids$$$
Taryl ... Ya could have laid a socket on the handle tubes & tweaked as needed.
YEAH I know, you were afraid to break the $140 piece of plastic ...
YEAH I saw that rubber suspension... DELUXE
Is it bad I could tell by the design it was manufactured in the 1980's. They still used more metal than plastics in the 80's. The handles seem kinda short concerning comfort. My concern with units like that is parts availability. Even if I can get the engine running, it's the chassis I would be concerned for. There is nothing worse than finding a unit is totally obsolete and parts are UNAVAILABLE because that company went belly up. The engine is a no brainer, those almost always run, even after sitting a gazillion years. Being most lawn equipment is only used seasonally, unless it was never maintained, you can usually get the engine going. The deal breaker is the chassis. I have salvaged many decent engines, only to scrap the obsolete frame.
I have a Troybuilt Tuffy rototiller made in Troy, NY same era 1987. It has the worm gear drive. Tilled many a garden with it. Now it's retired in my basement...poor lil' Troy. I use a corded electric tiller these days. But the tuffy was well made and I miss those days of quality machine builds.
Pterodactyl I need a fuel tank for my craftsman DGT 6000 part # 179115 we’re can I get one these tanks?they were in the 5000 as well as some Husqvarna and Poulin machines if you have one of these sitting around in your junk yard, I’d like to buy it from you thanks keep up the funny skits👍👏👏👏👏👏
Troy-Built
Literally made in Troy, NY. Company noted for making quality products.
Typical American corporation story. Private company gets bought out by conglomerate and then quality gets sacrificed for profit to shareholders.
Many people who worked for years at that company lost their pensions and jobs when MTD took over.
Although Briggs engines are commonly run at 3600 rpm the max rpm is determined by the blade tip speed regulated by ANSI standards to 19000 feet per second. The larger the blade equals the lower the max rpm because the larger blade tip travels further with each revolution. And that may be why the governed rpm was set lower than 3600 when you first checked it.
I remember that old man pushing it hru the long grass cutting little trees down too, just like your doing with it...I remember the TV commercial....said Visa or Mastercard accepted please no C.O.Ds...how much you want for it??👍🇺🇲🙂
