I’m a chatterbox myself and love talking about mowers and other stuff. This method used can get lots of information on the mowers given away.

Getting a little info on the mower is worth some conversation. When they start acting like you're their counselor, it's time to beat a hasty retreat.

I've never worked on a push mower with a Kohler before. That's an interesting machine. I have never even seen one before.

Most of the free stuff are usually a little more hard to fix🙏👍🙏👍

Great video Mr. Hg awesome yeah you got it right on this one definitely the small talk I found to be nothing but cover For the guilt they share of having neglected that mower for so long mostly they're just trying to come up with some excuse as to why it isn't running.😂

Sometimes, i get a story about what is going on, and sometimes, i don't get the person reason for giving it away, but the reasons help to know what route i want to go with it

AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Glad to see you back with new content again, looking forward to the double uploads on Friday and double uploads on Monday between both your channels again for the upcoming spring and summer

You definitely got that right about that matter of free stuff especially when it comes to lawn care equipment

Another great video. I have not worked on a Kohler before, so good information. Thank you.

Love Kohler engines. Hate the autochoke. Great video. Thanks for making it.

TY for Sharing

8:13 Crusty musty dusty when you said crusty or rusty that just reminded me of crusty musty dusty

If you don't talk to people, you don't know if they have more items that may interest you, or if you have something they want to get from you. They got you a free mower, if they talk, listen to them, they'll remember you next time. To send more things your way, or to make sure you don't get anything else.

I hate to say it, but if the mower was mine and I wanted to keep and use it for my own needs, I would be on the lookout for a good Briggs and swap motors on it. I agree, those Kohler Courage engines are simply too much potential problems to keep around. Very sad; especially considering how great the old Command engines were.

I don't mind talking but I always started at square one with anything I had to work on anyway and as far as the Craftsman battery zero turn-- SAME answers. NOTHING about it on the Craftsman website BUT got referred to Craftsman Support at MTD and talked to the same guy I talked to awhile back about trying to keep the battery from freezing. SAME answers now as then. NO BOOKS. IF anything happens to the mower they will TALK you through the fixing process (try) and the WILL have trained people (maybe by then) to work on them and it is the owners responsibility to transport the mower to where it can be fixed IF the need arises. Same stuff. I like that mower so far BUT if Stihl made one when we got that one, I'd have 2 STIHL's instead of just one. As things are greening up here, we will see how it goes. Thanks and a Happy Weekend!

Use UV Dye & UV light to find oil leaks.

Those Kohler auto-choke linkages are awful. They changed to the newer design setup, but I find removing the auto-choke mounted to the muffler is usually easier than removing the carb studs on the ones I get. They got away from that vacuum setup - I think I heard or read that it was designed to make for a smoother choke opening process, and while they look a little different the newer style carbs will mount up just fine. Their newer setup is similar to the newer Briggs style. I also notice that the Kohler choke opens MUCH slower than others usually do.

Most usually dont want any questions as its free but occasionally some chaty people are out there.

It all depends on the type of people who are giving the lawnmower away are. If they are polite and kind hearted, I won't mind having a conversation with them. Especially if they can give me intel on the lawnmower. Keep up the good work. 😊👍🏿 #stihlpower #stihlisyourdaddy #stihlrunstheyard

I have one of those right now. It's interesting that for a push mower that has a 7/8" crankshaft. Bout to pull the motor off of mine to use on a self-propelled Ariens

4:26 Oh geez it was missing a nut the pool start I had one of those lawnmowers that had one bolt missing for the pool start and it would slip often that hurt😂 4:26

That lawnmower looks almost brand new

Britain Stratton engines are the easiest engine to work on. That’s why I only work on Brooks and trap and engine.

5 or 10 minutes of conversation is about right then go to your exit strategy. ;-).

What are you spraying on the mower to clean it seems like it works great

7:43 And one more thing you don’t actually need to take those studs out I fixed one of those and I didn’t need it😅 7:43

You were talking about oil leaks I have a hustler - riding zero turn mower with a 10.5 Briggs on it and I have noticed that during the off-season it is leaking oil and I’ve got a spot on a piece of cardboard under the engine now where would the leak be coming fromin your input would be very helpful

I almost never get opportunity to get free lawn equipment. Even the broken stuff with missing parts they would rather junk it than give it away.

I'm on the Spectrum, and I think you dislike making small talk with people just as much as I do, lol.

Hey my mover lost power, I did oil change after that it lost power when I use it in overgrown grass it stops.

What brand of cleaner for small lawnmower engines from harbor freight do you recommend?

I'm not very chatty. Usually if people want to talk to me, they are the ones doing all the talking. I'm usually hoping they have something better to do than stand here talking to me. But, I'll listen, up to a point.

What did you find wrong on the hot no start

What cleaning spray/degreaser do you use? It looks like it works great. I’ve always used Super Clean, but willing to try other products. Thanks.

I’m fine with having a conversation with the owner but most of the time they don’t know what the exact issue is. They just know it doesn’t work. Lol My question to you is after replacing the carb on a toro mower. Still has a warm start issue. Quick spray of ether to start when warm. Any suggestions how to fix this issue. Thank you.

If they are giving you a free mower that you are going to use or sell, let them bend your ear. Especially if they are older.

What kind of Ad should I post for Free Mowers??

What’s the app you use for geting these mowers

hey, my old trimmer i think has had enough, i put in into storage for 3-4 months and tried to get it running today and the carb wouldn't go into full, and i snapped the little plastic lever as it wouldn't burdge, and also the rope wouldn't go back down smoothly anymore, think it's done, but it has been running for 13 years so it's very good, if there are any solutions to this, let me know

My mower leaks oil but it's not worthy fixing it because it's old so I just drain the oil every time I finish mowing

Hey, for about a year ive seen as i pull on the rope on my saw that the chain would loosen up and then tension. Today i checked and saw how my crank shaft is bent somewhere. I cant explain it very well but its bent and i want to ask if i should replace it on a saw that is from 2006.

4:18 One question what happens if you get water in the exhaust will it just blowed out?

What apps do you use to find free stuff?

Have you ever seen these mowers

Just bought a new StiHL mower with the Kohler engine, will this engine leak?

Speaking of leaky Kohler engines, I am having an issue with the 26hp one I am working on. It is leaking oil from the tube that you use to drain the oil out for an oil change. Do you know of any way to stop it from doing that?

TMI ! Bummer

Alright i finally got a compression tester. It said 70psi... Should i be worried ot terrified

Yeah, I think if you are getting something for free as this mower a bit of patients on your part is due; listening to the rap. I would not be into it either but some people like to talk. 😀

I prefer to skip the chit chat, and get on with fixing the mower.

Conversation is nice but not to long

You'll no more once you get into it than them I mean they are getting rid of it after all 🤷

I guess the repair was good, but you basically wasted the first two minutes with pointless back story and small talk about how you like neither back stories nor small talk.

aryans mower huh? it is the master race of all mowers? haha. Its pronounced Aarons, like a guys name
