End Of Season Cheap Lawn Mowers For Tinkering. In this video we get hold of some cheap end of season lawn mowers that should make a decent profit for early next year. They mostly have the Briggs and Stratton 35 Classic engines and should be a simple fix to get them running.

I love your channel! I watch tons of small engine and lawn repair channels, mostly because I just enjoy it, and because I like keep my old equipment running, rather than trashing it and buying a new piece of junk. But, being in the US, I don't even get to see many of the mower brands you have in the UK. Even though, a mower is pretty much a mower, I still enjoy subtle differences that give these ubiquitous little machines a bit of national identity. Love it!

Hi you 2 I enjoyed that, your starting to get as many mowers as me 😂, I have a feeling Sharon won’t be happy in the coming weeks as I expect more mowers to arrive 😂 Thanks for the mention (Everyone knows Mend It Man) well if 21 (as of the time of this comment) more people do I get to my 1k I’m very close now. Also if you need help sorting these mowers I think there’s a bloke on the south coast who may pop up to show you how it’s done, his name escapes me🤔😂😂 Classic retrorestore video 🙂👍

@retrorestore 2 жыл бұрын

Depends how you define "return" 1, I get to film videos on my channel. 2, I enjoy repairing things that people have given up on. 3, Its my hobby. 4, I make a little cash for something that I enjoy doing. 5, It doesn't matter how long it takes as I am my own boss. 6, I get to use my powder coating and sand blasting equipment to make parts look new again. 7, someone will get a properly repaired lawnmower without having to pay shop prices. In my world, that to me is not a minimal return. Your outlook or conditioning may be different.
