Enjoyed the episode first time seeing someone actually using one of those always saw them growing up at consignment auctions from tree farms around the area in Pennsylvania where I lived the longer since moving to the Midwest look forward to more content.
Hi,Kyle I have the earlier version of that D R brush cutter, it's called the Bachtold Whipper. Mine was made in the early 70s I believe. It works excellent every year I need it. DR definitely made some changes since mine was produced. Mine has a bigger engine, a clutched pulley on top of the drive shaft to the blade, A big rotating disk to protect the blade area. I've cut down small 1.5" trees with that thing it just rips. Mine will never be for sale. It works perfect.
The collar above the blade on my Bachtold brush cutter is to Hold the rotating disk up above the blade. Where yours doesn't have the rotating disk to keep from cutting too big of tree or brush. And i'm pretty sure if they didn't change everything that the nut holding the blade on is left hand thread. I'll be watching.
I somehow missed this when you released it. Some suggestions if I may. Get a Ingersol 235c air impact for all the tough bolts and don't worry about the Ryobi haters, they will always hate unless you use what they want. Also get yourself some welding tip cleaners for the jets, they work better that drill bits and are closer in tolerance. Soak the carb in penetrating oil and tap on it while it's wet with oil several times, if that don't work, make sure you don't have any gas in it and heat it. I have used a heat gun so you don't have an open flame around it, and by using the reducer tip on the heat gun it should concentrate the heat enough to get it out. Just remember it's pot metal so it doesn't have much strength
That bolt on the wheel opposite the one with the sprocket acts as a set screw to lock it to the live axle. The wheel with the sprocket has a ratchet system that provides differential action to allow the mower to turn. The bolt on the sleeve that slide forward to engage the blade if used to adjust the belt tension. You have the light duty blade for cutting grass and small brush. There was a much heavier brush blade available for cutting heavier material. It weighs five pounds.
I Saw one of those machines back in the day the up draft carburetor is a great one to work on the ignition system is the best thing because it is a replacement style of ignition system they' now have a set of air filled tires on them instead of the spoke rims with the hard rubber tire's I had a chance to buy One of them but the price was a bit more than i would pay
Sounds like you’ve still got a needle/seat issue that needs to be resolved. I wouldn’t take it anywhere until all leaks were resolved. Just saying. 😉🔧👍
I ran a small engine business behind my house like you for 25 years I'm retired now they used to call me the weed eater doctor please take my advice to heart about choking it to cut it off it's not good
i have a mint sears craftsman 22 hp that thing wont die its not a lawn tractor its a garden tractor briggs i dunno what year it is its green had to replace electric clutch in in one time.47 inch deck
if you need a old allis motor b allis series i have one in closet i spent 600 dollars on way back 030 over.has 4 hours on it.i had behrens machine do the work
Hey kylonium do you happen to know why my cub cadet lgtx 1054 with power steering whenever I turn click click click wheels don move very frustrating for me I looked everywhere all of the videos n stuff are for different models it's been my go to personal mower for awhile now it would suck if I bought parts just for them not to work

Thank you! That’s exactly why I wanted to make an episode with this DR. Pretty cool machine!
I grew up with one of these machines.
Wow that good ol thing cuts like butter

I have that exact same rig! Pretty handy and powerful!
Yeah! We love it

Taking it to NY on Sunday!
Fix the shutoff switch.
The thing on the blade shaft should be up against the top, the 3 setscrews hold the 2 parts in place on an eccentric
try 50/50 ATF/acetone....better than spray can stuff
I would tow it behind my riding lawnmower with out a deck, she can drive and I would guide it 😊😊😊😊. Would love to have it 😮

Looking forward to seeing the beginning of your vlog on your channel! I just subscribed!
Need you to get a Gravely
Keep a eye on spark plug and see if it’s to rich or lean
Ya know... that handle/rod sticking out of your grease gun only needs to be out during filling. after gun is reassembled, that rod slides in. Right?
That gun is a pain! Half the time it doesn’t work, that rod is a problem.
Adjust the float or replace the needle, it’s a easy fix 😮
That’s to good of a machine to mess up cylinder
The original carb wouldn’t come apart.
