You know it’s a good day when machinery restorer uploads

Love the custom work on that deflector, plus it is great to see another ride on mower up and running, keep up the great work 😃👍

Having done small engine repair, I recognize that eng as being basically a push mower engine, albeit a higher end engine as it has electric start. That one turned out a treat

i just want to take a moment to thank you. thanks to your videos i learned the necessairy techniques to repair our old riding-lawnmower with a honda engine, we had enjoyed riding around but had been left outside for a few years. through your videos ive been motivated to try and fix it, so i went outside and tried to start it, but it wouldnt. after a carb clean it would start but only for about a minute though sounding very rough. later i found out that he lost spark when getting warm, was given another ignition coil by a friend of my father, who like you repairs lawnmowers. now it runs very well and we can enjoy riding it again. thank you.

Another winning video, nifty piece of kit. When I first saw it I thought it might not be much good at actually cutting. I imagine that the previous owner was less than impressed with blade fitted upside down. An impressive restoration

Hey Daggerwin, where do you find the machinery you restore. I am building a workshop where I hope to do a similar thing to you as in restoring machinery etc but I can't seem to find any good deals. Love the videos, well done!!😀😀

Very cool, turned out great. Very simple fix, i agree the “ride on push mower”. Very good name for those, they’re becoming quite popular here in the states as well.

My grandad has one of these. I’ve got some good memories of helping mow the law on it.

That mower came back to life nicely! There is a hole in the deck that you should patch up also as grass was blowing out of there pretty good at times.

It was fun watching this little mower brought back to life. Watching you work and your explaining in detail has helped me not bot be afraid to tackle my own mower mechanical problems.

Great video rear deflector worked great 👍

Nice job with the deflector, and with that short wheelbase it comes close to a zero-turn mower also! Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

Back in 1980 my brother brought home a 5hp Briggs 24" "Ride on" Lawnscout lawnmower brand new. Store was going out of business. I'm 6'2 tall, I mowed my parent's house for at least 15yrs. Mower stop running one day, took spark plug out ground electrode was worn almost completely off. PS had just forward , neutral and reverse and 4 non-puenmatic tires, no flats. that was one tough mower! Good luck and thanks for sharing 👍

That's a nifty little mower. Glad you were able to get it working again. Reminds me of a modern day Snapper rear engine lawnmower.

Great video, great photography and editing, clear narration. And a great finished result. One of the best I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you.

Daggerwin another great video!! Thank you for sharing with us. I love watching all your videos you explain your steps so well!

🤣😂 **gigglesnortgiggle** 😂🤣 It looks like a geriatric mobility scooter 😋😏 Thumbs Up on the revival of this goofy looking mower ..Very Well Done ! 👍👍 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent, as usual Sir👍👍👍

That is the English cousin of the m.t.d yard bug love the way the engine is in front instead of the back but it is in the right place to get it fixed and running again

I always quite enjoy these videos you upload, they're quite satisfying to watch, and allow me to see the process of getting something running when I've run out of things to get running again

Nice find and troubleshooting 😊

You sir have solved a mystery, I was given a B&S engine, there were no makings on it anywhere. I hunted on the internets, asked on the forums as to what engine it was. What you show here is what appears to be the same engine that I have. I now know what model to say when I am looking for parts (namely head gasket) Mystery solved.

Really great video as always! What I do when I replace an inner tube is that I inflate it slightly just to reduce the chances of pinching it

I look forward to your videos, decent little machine you got for free. I really liked how you made the deflector work good job all around. Thanks my friend 😊

I love a machinery restorer and can't wait to see the how it turns out.👍 good video.

Nice job! The carburetors on those Briggs Intek engines are notorious for passing fuel and contaminating the crankcase oil due to the poor design (no outward pitch or fuel weep hole). It’s usually best to put a fuel shutoff valve in the supply line and close it after use. Neat little rider, I like the discharge chute deflector too!

What a cool little machine. Cheers from Canada.

From across the pond. My friend from St. Ouen, Jersey and I do the same thing. She locates them, I retrieve and repair, while she does "the hair and make-up", appearance sells. Seems that we had a similar unit here, referred to as the "doodle bug", no relation the one from the 40s Thanks. Narragansett Bay

Beautiful restoration mister good job well done

Nice work. Well done. 👍

Currently have Stiga version in the workshop. A mobility scooter with a cutter blade. Easier to take the whole engine and deck out and work on it on the bench.

A loose tea holder for your cupper in the mornin' works great for all the wee parts you put into the sonic washer.

This is the cutest mower ever ❤❤ love it

Great video and nice job on the deflector.

Thanks for another great video. I always look forward to your next video.

Excellent job!

Interesting mower so light. Ideal for small yards. As always I enjoy your videos.

Another great job, cheers

Hey man. I just found your channel and I am hooked. Absolutely love your content, you've got a subscriber for life. I want to start my own small engine and mower repair shop so I look at you as a mentor.

Nice job as always. Love your videos!

A very well done job!

Great resuscitation!

Wooh! Looking forward to watching them. Question, What do you end up doing with all of the mowers/tractors you've restored?

Great find and another great Job. That would be my ideal mower for someone unable to use a push mower any more.

Bonus video. Thank you.

That honestly mows a lot better than I was expecting for something that tiny!

Great video. The rear grass discharge is a nice feature.

Neat little mower and I like the deflector but I would cut the left leg off and make the right one a few inches longer. The shroud near the blade on the right side just below the shifter has a hole through it. And I really dig your little welding machine 👍

It's really good U got it running again and cool deflector that mower like a little gokart

I got one of those oil extractors recently....best investment I have made in tools.

A nice little mower!

my friday nights are vastly different to how they were in the 90's

Great video as always. As an observation only, I'd try a smaller deflector at less of an angle-one that would allow the grass to disperse/fall more "naturally" i.e., no clumpy lines.

Great video bringing it to life 🙌 keep uploading videos please

A day late but still enjoyed this vide a lotr. It always a good thing bringing something once disgarded, back to life. Well done.

Nice video, I enjoyed it. It certainly does cut well.❤❤

Top Job well done

really well shot video well done

Fantastic video! That has to be the smallest riding mower I have ever seen. If your having issues with it starting right away, check the valve lash. Those intek engines are notorious for the valve lash to go out of spec which makes them hard starting.

Great and entertaining video. When i put a new tube in the wheel i always inflate it a little before i fix the tyre. This way the tube sets correctly inside the tyre.

great video. love watching your videos. :)

For the year of the mower it looks great. I always show from start to finish.

Excellent video Machinery Restore :) and yes that cool Lawn Tractor Mower never seen one blade but lots 2 or 3 blade ones and not that make! On home in my childhood years in 1980's my uncle Bill bought one used model to use home farm for 2 flat ditches also farm house and house trailer to cut grass was 5 acres worth each week! The one had was 1970's of lime green called Aries Built by Firestone with 42 bed 2 blades with 8 hp Briggs & Stratton 8 hp no electrical start or headlights also Synchmatic transmission daul pedal plus handle with under seat Foward left , middle Netural, right was Reverse ! 1 litre of Engine Oil 10w30 type no Engine Oil filter was strange and fuel tank 2 gallon only in plastic tank! Sat over engine too ! To shut off engine was choke and throttle lever ! Start in Netural gear lever plus handle in Park section with Throttle to Choke when start put slow and but want deck put fast postion in middle only needed! Was fun to drive and used too! So cool like this one !

Nice. As silly as those little mowers are I love the simplicity of the design. All you really need for a small yard without much slope.

I was wondering if you were going to fix that hole that's in the mower deck?

Nice job 👍

For small mower that's a very nice cut

If I didn’t live in the US I’d totally buy that from you. Sized quite nicely for our yard.

Nice wee mower 👍

Thank you for the video

the fact that it just sprays grass out of it's butt now everywhere reminds me of when a hippo muck spreads

what a good little mower and gets the job done very well

Much luck with your find great job most this side wouldn't bother with it only those in need be safe Peace

That would fit my yard wonderfully. Reminds me of the long gone Yard Bug.

Awesome video! I noticed the deck has a rust hole on the right side.

It's just like I dreamt it could be 😊😊😊. Mr. Machinery Restorer uploading with less than a week in between. Life is complete 😁. Next step - one every day 😂😂😂. Great stuff dude. As ever. Lovely bit of fab work on the grass plate 👏👏👏. 😎

i was a lawnmower mechanic in the 70s for a major catalog store. one customers brought in his top-of-the line riding mower. when i checked the oil, a gas/oil mix poured out. i disassembled the carb and found a pinhole in the brass float. when i pulled the head, the cylinder was scored badly and the engine was ruined. i told the store manager to get him a new mower, but she didn't want to. she bought his mower and took it home only to find it was ruined just as i had said. you should leave all the plastic crap off as it is not necessary.

Nice job, really like the deflector. Changing the belts on those is a pig of a job, got lucky on that one

Well done!

The little mower operated very well.

Fantastic work! I really enjoy these videos. Now I just wonder am I the only one who noticed those big holes on side of the deck/shoot...

Love your vids!

Excellent work as always 👍🏻. Just a heads up you installed the seat upside down. I only know because I’ve done it myself before 👍🏻

Brilliant video

My first thought when I saw it - Little Tikes.

Bit of a hole in the deck. Will you tackle that, too? Great job and thank you for explaining your trouble shooting

Huh. That's a very cute little mower.

THANKS YOU VERY MUCH

What a cute little ride-on,...

Simply Green is a good choice to use in the Ultrasonic.

On ours it has a tube for the bagging system and we just cut a hole in a pan that fit over the tube snugly and it works but it does leave a mess

Mke sure and patent that deflector. Seems to work well if you don'thappen to have the catch clippings container.

Cute little mower.

Fantastic enjoy this

good job well done

I really enjoyed this video as I have same mover but your seems to be in good condition compared to mine.

It looks like an Elderly scooter!

Great video as usual, please do a video on a small zero turn , thank you

Not a mechanic friendly machine 🙂 - fantastic video as always👍👍

Great work daggerwin love all your videos and I watch all your fs22 and fs19 videos
