It's good to see a mechanic that doesn't have to wear gloves to protect their manicure.

The wife said "I should not be watchig this (paint shaker)". LOL!

THANKS MUSTIE, for adjusting the camera, setting everything up, moving the camera, getting in close, thinking of us all thetime...can we see at this angle, explaining how this works and what needs to happen to make it work right. Do asthetics here and a little paint there...go adjust the camera again, show and tell, drive around like a kid on a go-cart, having fun and giving us a real-fast tour of your enormous shop, and all of it that you do! then all the editing and uploading that it takes to get it where WE can watch a genius at work...WOW...KEWL !!! Thank you! Then the paint shaker doo-lolly the mating frogs and the big lake! all of that is gravy!!! Your witt is like non other and your knowledge is out of this world! Thanks again! Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

Primary hand tool = body hammer. Primary diagnostic tool = white coffee cup. Mustie1, you're the man! 😁👍

Nothing makes more sense, right now... than watching Mustie1 giggle as he test rides a mower he's rescued from being trashed.

After a 10 hour operation, You gave the patiant 6 years minimum. Well done doc.

Woke up and watched this with my son!!!

Still love that comment the other day by someone. Mustie1 is the bob ross of repair! Nice n chilled 👍🏻👌🏻🤙🏻

"I need a minute.. to myself" Yeah man, I felt that one lol.

Even though I am 58 year old guy watching you figure out, patch up, work out the problem so much reminds me I'm watching my father getting us by. We were a big family and never had much money and nothing was new. My dad could fix anything and I would watch him and at his creativity and skill. Mustie, you are ALMOST as good as my dad!

I enjoy watching your videos and videos like yours more than watching regular TV. Sunday morning coffee & mustie1 video👍

Gotta love a guy that has ALL the tools!

Sawzall paint shaker was awesome

8:02 This whole grille-fixing bit was starting to feel like Father Ted taking the dent out of his car!

Love the way you talk to the camera like we are right there.

The paint shaker lesson was worth the price of admission alone! Hat off to you sir!

Hey Darren, you have no excuse for not posting more videos over quarantine!!!! Do it for my sake... Love what you're doing, I'm 17 and I've been watching for almost 3 years now, have learned so much from you, you inspired me to make a little money on the side from school by repairing and servicing old outboards. Started with a few dirt cheap outboards and built up to having enough money to build a small workshop. Safe to say I'm already working my dream job, by turning my hobby into a job!!!

So I wake up this morning, Lord of my castle. I see the notification of a Mustie1 and head to the family room to enjoy my Mustie1 fix. I walk in an my wife is sitting on the couch , she smiles as I walk in and says " First you grout the tiles in the bathroom and THEN you can watch Mustie1" It's always nice to be reminded, who is really the boss. It's worth the wait, I enjoy watching you wrench on stuff. If I'm working in the garage, I will put you on the Tv and it keeps me motivated to keep going or figure out a solution. Thanks and keep it going, I've got a ton of projects to complete.

bearings... Can't tell you how many times I've resurrected them.. Skated a 62 mile race in Central park,(inline skating) start to finish in the rain with oiled bearings one side open on each bearing. Basically water lubricated the bearings after a few miles. Race over, skates dried off and put in a bag. 4 days later, back home in california, every wheel (10) frozen solid. Soaked them in W-D 40, then after a day, used my lathe, and spun them in a wheel one by one till they broke free. Then I soaked them again after cleaning them till no more orange came out. Used those bearings for up to 100 miles a week for a year to train in and they actually worked ok. You could hear me coming from a mile away though. :). BAck in the day "fafnirs" were the best bearings..... Like pre 1980.

Apart from the shop, the lift, the tools, and the expertise and experience, I a right there with you - salisbury England.

At 47.52 I thought that shaft was cherry red from the blow torch and when you grabbed it I was like no! Hot! Then I realised it was a red/rusty bush 🤣

Your level of patience is something I admire

That sawzall paint shaker ROCKS.

Did I just spend 4 hours watching you fix a free mower? Yep. No regrets. :D

Thanks Mustie for some stability in a crazy world!! Always fun to work on rusty junk with ya!

You have more spare parts then anyone I’ve ever seen.

Mustie walks softly and carries a big knife. The JackHawk 9000.

I mainly come here to watch you work on your projects,but the extra content at the end shows you have class,love the mating leopard frogs,with a smattering of green frog calls,brings tears to my eyes for when I was young I used to go to the swales behind my mothers house and listen to the frogs and sit and when the frogs suddenly went silent meant the white tail dear were here for a drink,I hale from the northern lower peninsula of Michigan,my family is gone and I live alone,thank you for bringing a song from my past,Happy Easter,God Bless You.

8AM on a Sunday. Coffee in hand. Love these videos.

falling asleep...not feeling good...but im staying up for mustie..the only joy in my miserable life.....

You will not find a better tractor than that 318 , ran one for 20 yrs. Plowing snow for the school , they retired it and it set for about 7 yrs. . I finally talked them out of it as I had a friend that was in his 80's that needed one. I pulled up & jump started it and it fired the second revolution !!!! The old guy wouldn't part with it , he loves it !!

Nice find, this is better then TV...

I learn a great deal of the possibilities for repair (to say nothing of tools and techniques) from your videos. Cool mechanical artistry.

Another great Mustie 1 series. I am always impressed with the attention to detail and the quality of the finished product. I want to comment on the previous video where you took a minute to address some of the comments. Be true to who you are...don't let the trolls get you down. Your videos are informative and entertaining at the same time. Please Please do not change a thing...remember you cannot please all the people all of the time. Keep up the videos and the great work...appreciate all you are doing during this difficult time. Be safe...

I had a 14horse John Deere like that one as my first mower dad put me to work and oneday it fell off the truck I actually let out a tear it was such a sad day, that’s how you know your a gear head! Thanks for showing me another good ol John deer

Rattle can recip saw shaker, a work of genius

Please Mustie 1 could we have more videos during our lock down in the UK. I have watched all your videos as educational and for absolute comedy act I’ve watched CT’s how not to do’s. Bob.

Another one saved from the jaws of the crusher....Mustie style.

Now you can do your best Richard Farnsworth and set off to visit a sibling in another state. He drove a 110 so maybe you’ll get there faster. Thanks for reconditioning these abandoned machines and giving them new semi-useful life! Enjoyed watching.

you do have to watch it by not skipping anything to gather all the good tricks. learned something new everyday.

1:12 what a moment to remember!!

I'll be more impressed when you strap a gallon of paint to the recip saw to mix that!!

I find I am screaming at the video , saying do this, don't do that, frustration. TY for the video. You are a repairer not a restorer and I respect that.

Sweet deal !! Ole girl is ready to kick up her heels !!

Since you requested: Mustie really knows how to lube a shaft.

From the bottom of my heart Mustie, Thank you for these videoes! Im waiting everyday to see if there comes something new. And to say atleast, Im getting MUCH more handy by watching you getting old things back to life! Even fixed my own lawn mower! :) Thank you kindly sir! BTW what happend really to that jetski? Well again, thank you from Norway

Anyone who wears a K-bar while working gets my views! God bless

I've been binge watching your videos. Not sure why but I can't get enough. Jealous of the free stuff you get.

Thank you mustie you inspired me after watching some of the free quad will it run videos. So I am 15 and asked my dad if I could pick up a toa toa 110 arc that was in my area and he said yes cause it was free and we picked it up and got it home I got to looking at it and the problem was that it just needed new wires to the coil and a new safety tether pull and once I figured that out there was spark and it fired right up. Keep up the videos.

''We do it right cuz we do it twice'' (quote of the day) ;0

THANK YOU...for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.

The recip saw paint shaker is hilarious

Thanks, this is getting me through an early lunch in style here in UK. Have a very Happy Easter and stay safe.

29:00 He has his own personal horde of bearings, too. Imagine how much TP this guy must have!

One person's junk = treasure for you. What sense of accomplishment ... in awe of what you do.

That is a masterclass in mechanical engineering !!!!! I showed this to my son and all the lights in his brain suddenly got power in problem solving. Outstanding stuff.

Mustie, on the 318, the altenator puts out 28 - 30 volts AC. It goes into the rectifier/regulator, and comes out as around 13.8 volts DC. The yellow charge light measures voltage, not amps. It comes on whrn battety voltage is less than 12.7 vdc Note: Mine had a worn wire, behind the front pulley, where it leads to the starter. This bled voltage off, which caused constant charging, and boiling the battery. The cost of reg/rectifier is $90 from deere, but can be bought, new for around $20, aftermarket. Mine was the exact same Mallory, as the deere was. An oversize snow blower sprocket is available, to make auger turn faster........

I need a minute... to myself. LOL!!

AWESOME!........enjoyed this on Easter morning....rain and wind Southwest Missouri.

Another $1 an hour rehab job! You are an artist Mustie. Great videos 👍

Seeing that he's in New England are I'm betting Mustie's family came over on the Mayflower. They were the ones down on the lower deck fixing leaks and making sure the it stayed afloat.

on those bearings i drill and install a grease zerk and drill a hole in the spacer then remove the inner seal on the bearings, keep greased and will last 4 times longer. same on spindles if grease-able remove inner bearing seals.

The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info

Way to go mustie1 another great video thank you

I've only just stumbled across this you tube channel- really good to watch- a true engineer and a nice guy as well - thankyou very much - these videos are helping me get through our lockdown here in the UK. 😁

Another great video from the KZfaq Repair Master! Hands down the most interesting channel to watch. I really feels like I'm there. Thank you for making these videos for us. Stay safe.

I don't hate sundays. I love them! Thank's for sharing your knowledge and laughter with us. ❤

Truly enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Pulled the stops out on this one Mustie1 ;) and I must say what a great job, Loved all 3 vids.

Good Morning Everyone.

From the q tip drill bit to the paint can shaker i thought i have seen everything!!Hilariously useful stuff!!!

Nothing like John Deere Green ! 🤗🤗🤗

Some times when Mustie picks one of these free bees up and figures out it was just something simple I wonder how the guy feels that threw it out . The guy that threw this thing out has to be feeling pretty good about now. He got his moneys worth from this mower.

On the 318, test the two wires going to the voltage regulator with an AC meter. Should be 20 to 30 volts AC If it does the regulator may be bad.

You should make one of those lawnmower racers, make a fast lawn mower and enter a lawn mowing competitions great video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Love your channel. Keep up the good work. I have learnt truck loads since starting to watch you on KZfaq. Keep safe with all thats going on. NZ armchair mechanic.

Good morning from Texas and Happy Easter! Let's get to the video.

I told you the left front tire was on backward, guess you didn't hear me yell.

Another fine show of rust be us! A good example of fix it instead of throwing it away. No finer entertainment on the planet. Wish you were on every day and had your own network. % rusty thumbs up!

your lucky to find a free lawnmower in that shape

I once heard a coworker say about our employer, "We never have time to do it right but we always seem to have time to do it over" Meaning right.

I actually revived a seazed ballbearing in the boogie of my snowmobile once, a sealed ballbearing. Smal screwdriver to pull the plastic lid of and then alot of wd40 and wirebrush action, filled it with grease and bob's your uncle.

Love your rattlecan shaker Mustie.

Enjoy your videos! Thanks

Ah, the good o'l days when they used to put greaseable, replaceable bearings on the pulleys.

Don't forget to put some 00 grease mixed with regular grease in the transmission, dry grease is what killed mine. (exact same mower)

Mustie 1, I enjoy the knowledge and skill that go into your restorations. A “kid” with his restored toy.

Great vid & repair. When your air hammer quit for a bit, I thought that's how my day goes. We went camping at Lookout mountain in summer time. Man, wrong time to go, frogs kept us up all night. They can make you go crazy.

I was a lil bummed you didn't give the deck a nice repaint like you did with the green rear fenders. But excellent job as usual.

I wish I lived in a area they just give mowers like that away. Here they would put it on FB for 150.00 and say I think it needs carb work or something. lol

A good series. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

Tractor is coming along. Very good!

sometimes it fits well to be a multiarm octopus. Like you with the seat.

15:00 instead of a zip tie I’ve used fishing line in the past. Also depends on how large of a gap you’re trying to fill.

Using the sawzall to shake the paint can. Inventive!

thank you dude... people like you keep me alive in isolation

"Tractor Organ Donor" - lol

I had a similar issue with spindle bearings. They had grease fittings and sealed bearings. Took out the inner seals and put in new fittings. Been good to go for almost 4 seasons.

Good eye on that metal bending on the grill. Musties mighty hammer skills strikes again.

A little body filler/Bondo/bog is great for making big knobs fit on little levers.
