Together with a brilliant auto mechanic friend I produced a series of DVDs on classic car engine rebuilds, so I salute you for the amount of time and professionalism it took to shoot and edit this. Bravo. It was a pleasure to watch. Just one minor criticism: this is a British machine filmed in Britain - it's a silencer, not a muffler 🧐.

That was both very nicely done and a joy to watch this refurbishing project. The only problem I see is you now have to build a bigger powder coating oven so you can bake an entire lawn mower chassis. I love to powder coat but so many times my typical kitchen converted oven won't allow me to powder coat large items. Thumbs Up for sure...

My 38" 16hp Countax must be over 25 years old and still going strong, being used every week.The powered collector is, in my opinion, a much better option for the UK over the mulching deck, as we get massive grass growth and tons of leaves and debris all over our lawns due the the amount of trees we have. I always coat exposed aluminum in motor oil to stop it corroding, I know it attracts muck but after a few uses it isn't noticeable and it really protects the aluminium. I am still on the original belts apart from the serpentine deck belt and the powered collector !! (just wait for the comments on that one) Nice Video, brilliant production - you must have the patience of a saint!
@andrewstafford-jones4291
@andrewstafford-jones4291 3 ай бұрын
Ha Ha same tractor for me as well and almost identical age! Burnt out a few serpentine belts cutting 2 foot high grass when we have been away for months and have just replaced the starter solonoid. I have re-painted the underside of the deck twice and I also use spray on underseal. This wears off after a few years but I am cutting 1.9 acres most weeks. My 16HP is a single cylinder B&S but it seems most are twins.

PA LAWN GUY> Great video. Painting the cutting blades improves the aerodynamics of the blade and hence the grass flow. It also reduces the power needed to turn them. At least until they build up with adhered grass. that is why it is best to clean and paint the blades when they are sharpened and balanced. the best to you in your work.

Well done, have to say my ocd would make me go even further but this was really good. Seen so many people just half ass the job. Had a Husquarna top of the range with 122 cm mower deck and atwin 22 hp Kawa engine and hydro +hydraulik lift of front deck and sevo of course. still running strong after 20 years though I sold it when I moved into a flat. I look like inspector dreyfuss in a pink panther movie when I see it and it is not cared for as I did. Believe it is the same gearbox/axle, the tough torq they both used back then.

Thank you but thank you very much... now I have a complete video service manual for it! By the way this is one of the best mower I've ever seen: we have it from 2002 (has been produced in 2001...) and it's now in better condition than yours! We clean it everytime and take it in a closed garage but it works a lot every year... from 18 years!
