Wrangler star known for crappy sad music

@@charlessawallich1870 I stopped watching wrangle star a long time ago - something about that guy just bothers the shit out of me

Agree . Fine craftsmanship in this wonderful restoration.❤ thank you

They make ones now thats a lot easier to puch.

@bodd boward Not even the paper you saw it cut?

bodd boward was the paper fake

Rich L the paper was a paid actor

@@Blastof-ob2zb That explains it, lol.

@bodd boward I have one of those from 1906 blades not sharpened it was in the state it was before the restoration it cut my yard nice

Good job

Well, if everything is clean in tune and adjusted they should. My father got this old push mower for free from the side of the road put fuel in it and tried to start it, could not get it to run and threw it because he said he got screwed. Let me explain something for later, my father was a complete moron. When my father went in for his afternoon 3-hour nap, my uncle went over pulled the mower to the steps and started to look it over and pulled the plug out, put his thumb over the hole and rotated the blade and it pushed his thumb off. he then checked the spark and took the cover off and started to clean things up with wd-40, a small wire brush and an emery cloth, put it back together checked the spark made a gap adjustment of the plug with his pocket knife, put it back in, and one pull it started right up. My father came out slamming the door open, saw it running and then stomped back in the house like the baby he was. Now here is the good part, my Uncle went home and my father came out pulled the mower and proceeded to smash it with a sledgehammer. He said he was scrapping it to prove how smart he was at making money. I learned so much from my uncle by just watching him.

TheHerrDark holy shit what a dickhead. Glad my dad isn’t that much of a tool.

@@theherrdark4834 No one cares about your messed up father. Shut up and move along.

​@@djdime2002 No

I love this channel . I love these reel mowers and doubt I will go back to the motorized ones. Bravo ❤ on the restoration. God bless.

You know what they say: Drill once, measure nonce

For me it was the bolt that didn't get straightened.

its destroying of old tool, not restoration

@@RAMB0DJOHN Let's see your projects, then. Must be state of the art, one and all.

@@hamarbiljungskile8953 i dont do this stuff, sorry. but this man dont understand even basics about mechanic and only want everything shine and pretty. it must not be pretty, it must WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too, ours looked like the "before" and the friction in the works was incredible, really hard work to cut the grass then.

Forcing children to use these mowers is the worst punishment one can give a child.

@@MisterRorschach90 Yeah, but I got $0.50 (US) a week allowance! :-)

@Sandman Huffmaster I didn't get pocket money and we didn't have an edger, I had to run the mower with one wheel on the path and the other on the grass to do the edges. Now, 60 years later, I often do the grass strips along our street with a lightweight hover mower just for fun!

Sky King Yup if the millennials are serious about saving Mother Earth they should take us back to this, something the Boomers are familiar with.Instead they are proud to push an electric lawn mower, Lol.

Lol I just asked him what his method is for remembering. Can't tell you how many times I took something apart and had to look up where or how it went back.

Exactly!

Hahaha thought of that many times,,, yet,, I being an electrician,, it does not always work that way,, thus a good memory and knowledge of my work beforehand has kept me out of trouble and my customers asking, ''do you know what youre doing?" ,,, I sometimes kid with them, and say,, Nahhh I just guess really good,,, hahahah,, take care E

See my comment,, I was 11, and started my own business,, ; D

I used to chop toads with it.

@@dreddj.9451 Oh OK!!! We're gonna go look you up! We're SO intrigued!!!

@@dreddj.9451 no you didn’t

Your grandfather was brilliant !!!!

About the same, here. Five-dollars for a used "Push" mower...

You can still buy these.

Mesmerizing*

I have one...how much would u give me for it?

Lehman’s in Kidron, OH sells new ones. They drop ship.

I don't even know what that would mean or look like but still wanted to see it too!

HA! That don't cut no ice... ;-)

seeing it cut is the best part. I used to mow Grandpa's yard with one when we got there on vacations.

With the technology we have today is there some way we can improve on this design to make it lighter and spin faster. Make the handlebars wider for more control and change the tire contact to ground ratio with thinner tires. Aerodynamics should be considered so testing in a Wind Tunnel might help with the installation of a small fairing to control air flow over the bearing surfaces. Maybe a no - spill drink holder using a dampening and recoil technology so no beer is wasted and what about Solar Power for the air conditioning system, hell I should have been an engineer, I always thought driving a train would be cool

With a bit of luck it cuts snow. The blades are absolutely wrecked. They squish the grass but won't cut it. It looks really nice but its useless. ^^

Thanks for giving me a good laugh. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erCRetKn1afdm3k.html

I got past that but the Lowe's two by four broke my heart.

My OCD went Nooooooo.

Right, all eat work and it’s off center. Ugh. Lol it only bugs me because I have to make things perfectly center for work. Lol

He didn't sharpen the blades and the hole in the handle was off-center. What does this mean? That I've watched waaaaay too many perfect restoration videos.

I agreed when I saw that. Get some very thin washers to save the beautiful paint.

He also put together pieces that were not painted after sandblasting. A rust disaster waiting to happen.

@@michaeldextermonroe8548 That bothered me too. Also the wood handle from that period would not have knots to make it strong.

@@michaeldextermonroe8548 He could have greased the raw bolts as well.

@@sheiladawg1664 using anti-seize ? What would you do to the bolt heads? I’m going down this process at the moment.

Lol!!!

Glad I didn't waste 25 minutes watching a useless video

OMG what made you think of that line? I remember puking behind a church after I left the house my new gf was babysitting at...and that was 40 years ago:(

@@lobitome Useless video? No one made you watch it. Go hate somewhere else. His lawn is covered in snow

Agree . The knowledge is valuable and you can learn to do it. The back lapping technique works well . Patience . Super impressive work. I purchased some of the products in the description. Bravo sir. Thank you so much.

Very . I also have a few decades of experience in small engine repairs . I love the reel mowers and I live in St. Louis Missouri where the humidity is like Houston Texas or Acapulco Mexico. I can cut my lawn in silence with a solar LED light is cooler silence and not disturb my neighbors. Thank you

Would’ve been nice to blue or nicks plate all of the screws.

Ah that's nothing.

Praetor6 golf courses utilize hydraulic powered reel mowers, not rotary

Yes has to be a cylinder mower for the greens!

Craftsmanship is superb ❤. You sir are an absolute treasure and and artist .

And now a days, people like me who care and want a perfect lawn prefer this same type of mower.

agreed! i started watching kzfaq.info/love/JtO0nF8bQWRX4ZsXIEaRUw . he's really new but i like him

If you had pushed one as much as I did as a kid, you might not love them so much.

and what proportion to maintain? 1 to 1?

People love to watch other people working. I cannot start up my forge without drawing a crowd out of nowhere, even in the country. Human nature I guess. These days most folks don't know how to make things anymore. Could be that.

Yeah and as long as their wasn’t an angry Scotsman standing there with his arms crossed refusing to move or trying to smash you with a boulder…

The last time I used one of these I started to pass out from hear exhaustion and I saw my two dead cats walking around my feet.

That's quite OK Sir, you're in good company!!! (Here with the rest of us "old farts")

hahah same here,, see my note here,, I was 11,, and got $2 per lawn,,, that was in 68,,, ; D ,,,,, take care E

IKR OMG ROFLMAO

Saw some cut off their finger messing with one of these when i was like 4. Not completely cut off tho, a flap of skin was still attached i think

My uncle lost 3 toes when he was young using one of these ! Lol no lie don't use in bare feet !

@@papatriots3529 you’d think that’s obvious but unfortunately some people aren’t that smart or don’t pay attention

I can change this

But you gotta move the sticks out of the way :(

Hand tool rescue is my favorite! He adds a little comedy to it. Check him out

Nothing beats the nice job these do

I have three acres to cut, I'll stick to "Beating it into submission".

i restored one last summer and my grass never looked better. grew in much thicker as well. It's work but well worth it. I'm keeping my eye out for a gas powered reel mower. Missed out on one for $50 because I was at work. It was worth about $500, dude didnt know what he had.

Zac Price: what brand and model type is that. I am looking for one

You don't want over-sharpen your mower blades. A clean cut on a stem makes it grow back faster. Those hard cut bruised leaves and stems take longer to recover. With the right blades you can mow monthly w the moon instead of weekly

@@edgewatersbestguitarist1524 Good to know. That fits right in with my method of rotary maintainance: Once all the knives are machined to the bed, back off the bed until you don't hear anything hitting. Then let the knife edges corrode enough to fill the gap again. It will leave a hard and perfectly toleranced surface on the knife edges. It doesn't leave a perfectly clean cut, but its super efficient about not letting any get through untrimmed.

They just don't make 'em like they used to anymore...

I can relate. I had a job with 2 guys in factory to disassemble 75kW electrical motor. One guy unscrewed bolts from rear side almost with fingers and my bolts were like welded even after half can of WD. That guys were like: chill out man, you gonna wear out the bolts.

ATF and Acetone at 50/50 works the best. Lots on line about it.

@@janetyeoman1544 ATF?

LEMONY BOOMS , Automatic transmission fluid. With cheap acetone. I was surprised how well it worked and how economical to use.

Yeah, I'd barely call that rust compared to the stuff I get stuck with. The "it's-all-one" type of stuff.

I've been looking for a hubcap for a Belknap C6 (1904 patent) without any luck. One of the originals fell and broke into fur pieces on the concrete garage floor. And I can't find anybody who will cast a replacement.

Ave!

Those are the best for mowing new grass. It snips it off rather than pull it out

yeah i remember using these if you has a gas mower you were somebody
