Love ur old Chev truck, good fix with the LawnBoy. Im bored lookin through your past vids, your very talented

Those Tecumseh engines were good runners as long as you maintained them. Good job on getting it going again

I'll give u double thumbs up for the amount of patience that u have.

Mostly just neglect, a little tlc keeps them running forever. The plastic gears ⚙️ in wheels wear a bit and get noisy but still work.

Good job kid. I sub to your channel. I like that you always kept your cool and kept trying and not give up.

Good job. The consumer lawn equipment business would go bankrupt if they had to rely only on mowers wearing out instead of clueless owners who screw them up.

thats a great looking mower! i wonder how many mowers are tossed into landfills with only minor problems?

Awesome job on that Lawn Boy

Love your vids man!! Keep up the great work!

You make me want to work on mowers

Great video dude!

Great save. My lawn boy also had numerous safety's. Consider adding some brass brushes and emery cloth so your repertoire of tools. Cleaning the shaft on the starter drive and some 3in1 should keep it starting smooth for a long time.

Well done !

Good find on that fancy pants mower. Plenty of oil in it. Ha ha, 1st pull! Free VW coming too. Awesome. Hot pink hack and the starter's working. LOL! Nice job bud.

Man that's a great find 👍

Heck ya I love free mowers

I see snow and no coat on, can’t take the cold weather anymore 😢

This video was very helpful. It guided me to how the keystart on those Tecumseh work..

If you ever start traveling I an between Tampa, Sarasota and st Pete Florida, have hookup for your camper and you are welcome to stay free. Bring Beetle so she can play with Fred, Kodi and Bolt, the dogs! You can be in any above cities in 20 min from my house.

My dad had a lawnboy for 33 years. Amazing machine. Never sell it.

Great video........I also watch a guy in NH his channel is Mustie1 and he fixes about anything.Really into VWs and odd things people send him to fix.The coolest thing I saw Mustie1 do was he flew on a jet to somewhere....and took his Garmin GPS from his car and it was reading 478 MPH....what a hoot.Oh BTW....I was #78 thumbs up

Check leakdown to check rings, valves, and head gasket. Change the oil. Tune the engine. Change the blade. Adjust idle adjustments. Remove the flywheel and replace the top seal and replace the lower seal.

Silicone spray, not wd-40. Lasts longer. Great job on diagnosing all the problems 👍

Runs good for a newer Tecumseh good video sometimes you get lucky

You got your self a nice lawn mower

Got a toro mower, the flywheel shattered while running, braking the shaft, and everything on the mower

I know this is an old video but where do you find lawnmowers and such? I would love to start doing this more often but can’t seem to find em like you do! I just got a ryobi 4 stroke weed eater working and really enjoyed it, the money too lol. Anyway i enjoy watching all your vids, they’ve taught me a LOT, even though i think we’re about the same age. Thanks for spreading your knowledge

I just remove and kit the carbs If engine junk I remove carbs and dump fuel out and into zip lock bags with information on engine size 😊 Very few people will have the electric start fixed but they sale good if they do 😊

Nice score and fix

Quick note, always check the blade, sometimes people leave them loose or off completely, if it doesn't have a blade it wont run, the blade has a flywheel effect on the engine, plus if its loose it's a safety issue. I've seen mowers not run because the blade was so worn down.

I never had a walk behind mower I regretfully tossed out.

Nice choice with the pink duct tape I don't think I've seen that but what the hell. I think you must be just lucky

I've had a few free mowers where the previous owner overfilled it with oil, it's not hard to check oil in a mower yet people still overfill them and then their mower smokes real bad and they think there is something serious wrong with the mower so they throw it out and get a new one and the process eventually repeats lol.

free VW Golf lucky you :)

cool video

Are you getting these from the actual dump or when people throw them out around you?

You can get a generic replacement battery on eBay for $16 with free shipping.

So, if you DON'T want to bag, that mower don-t work? Hard to believe.

what kind of blade do you use to mow snow?

How did you talk the dump into letting you pick up free mowers

you should check to see if it wad charging the battery

did you squeeze the engine stop when starting

7:27 that’s what she said

I love it

Not sure it it's weight on that catchbag safety that makes it work...it looks more electrical...like something iron has to be in the groove. Theory easily tested with something non-iron in the groove.

Did you change the oil? Looked like it may have had gas in it...

I got one like that, your missing the mulch plug where the bagger goes.

Lawn boy in the trash is still a great find even with needed repairs.

Where do you guys find all of these trash mowers? Only way I can get them is to post on nextdoor. Nobody ever puts anything at the curb for whatever reason.

I found one just like this and it had thrown a rod and I took the cover off of it and the block just crumbled to pieces

Wow I thought having more engine oil is better. Lol.

You know what oneself learned from watching this video here ? People are just not willing to take the fix their own junk , so people go out and buy more junk because this is how our society teaches us huh , throw out what we cannot fix for those of us that do not want to learn how to repair their own equipment huh .

12:20 "green tape"

Dang in Knoxville Tn you go to jail if you take things from the dump

Dude you're awesome. 1 more sub

12:20 You meant pink tape

Never found a Honda mower at the trash dump ,what does that tell you !.

Check the oil twice next time

Okay I'm I the only one thinking this what's the point of the power start If I could just pull the cord

What’s your name?

no one over filled the oil it was gas leaked into it.

You should go back to the address and the mower and say hey why did she throw this this out while covertly recording them act like you did nothing to it just put gas in it

WD40 is not a lubricant

Where in the world do you guys live that you keep finding mowers in the trash. in fucking Houston can't even find trash in the trash let alone mowers and weed eaters or anything .

Ohh and by the way I hate tecumseh lawn mower motors

That’s the ugliest fucking mower I’ve ever seen
