- This little mower is gonna last a long time once I get a couple of things repaired and add a trailer hitch. The mower deck being in much better shape than I assumed a mid 90's era mower would be. All in all, im very happy I found this for $150.

Hello dear man!
I'm from Israel and I really enjoy the videos you create and share (I have been watching you for many years).
I love your technical thinking, and enjoy seeing your skill in metalwork.
I want to congratulate you that you are taking advantage of the epidemic and will be healthy for good days and years.
Like all of us, I am very sorry to hear of so many patients and deaths around the world.
So, we plead with God to have mercy on us all.
You have a very pleasant personality in my eyes!
Thank you very much!! You gave no idea how much I love Israel! Thanks for commenting and I hope that God keeps you and all the good people of Israel ,well.
@@bctruck Amen!
The truth is I felt this when I heard you say "Lechayim" ("to life" in Hebrew) in a video on water distillation.
Congrats on finding a mower in that good shape for such a low price. Both of you will enjoy having a mower dedicated to pulling a trailer. I've had a deckless one, for many years, dedicated to that job. Have a couple of different trailers for it. One is low and wide. Have hauled sheets of plywood across the top of it. Have a trailer outfitted to haul our chipper/shredder. Even though the chipper has wheels, it's heavy and man-powered to get it from place to place. Sitting in the trailer, it's also a better height & the trailer hauls loppers, saw, and fuel. Another, small, low to the ground, dump body, trailer is easier to fill when it's heavy stuff hauling time. I'm sure you'll come up with more and more ways you'll use your mini-hauler.
Enjoyed watching your tear down process and hearing your thinking process as you proceeded. Appreciated!
Hope you and yours have a blessed Sunday. Strange one for us, as our church cancelled all activities, last Thursday. I only remember one time, in the past, when services on Sunday were cancelled. Ice storm because travel was so dangerous.
Staying at home and remembering that God is in control, regardless of what the future may bring.
I have two more videos on this. It is going to come handy.
Nice seeing back tinkering in the Garage.🛺🙂👍
Thanks. Got two more videos on this.
Have to admit,I miss this type of content, but hey I like knives and leather work too 👍
I’ll have two more vids on this over the next two days, then a knife I’m working on and after that, if it’s warm out, I’ll work on my truck bumper
@@bctruck 👍sounds great👍enjoy your coffee this morning
Cup three down. As soon as my wife wakes up, I’m going to the shop. If I go before she gets up
The dogs bark u til she does.
Mr Brad you are the dog whisper and the Pack Leader of the puppy comforter talk about a calm state of mind
Cesar Millan would give you an award for that
My dogs would laugh if they heard you call me pack leader. They think I’m a warm talking couch
I really like your videos am always looking for the next one to come out keep up the good work
Brandon Hannay thanks!
Love how clean the mower is now! Looking forward to the follow up video on this🙂!!
follow up tomorrow morning and then a third one after that.
Barney Fife gonna bust you driving the Gator in town.
Hopefully it will be Andy that pulls me over. Barney would just put me in the hoosegow.
Tires look good too! Great buy at $150! "Are you listening to me?" "Yes, Dear." LOL!
Reminds me of a joke. Woman says are you listening, to her husband, husband thinks to himself,, that’s a strange way to start a conversation.
@@bctruck HAHA, good one!
Love that gas price. It is about a dollar more here in southwestern Idaho. Only 1 refinery in Salt Lake City and no pipeline all the way here. It's got to be trucked at least halfway.
I like these garage videos.
I have GOT to get more light in there! It doesn’t look like it on video but it is dark in there.
Excellent cleaning, and service job!
Ron Hart thanks!
Seeing this video May of 2023 gas prices were that low that long ago that's crazy😢 and I hope you're still with us
Pressure washing that made a night and day difference
That's a great looking mower. It will make a good trailer tug I'm sure.
Two more videos on this project and it’s done.
👍👍 Great video, Brad, I know these are not easy for u now, but they are highly interesting! Keep on keeping on!! 👏😀✝⚜✌️💯☮🇺🇸
Two more videos coming out on this.
Looks good it just needed some love and a bath, we have gas for $1.87 here in Missouri where I live.
You won!!!!!! Watch the satithing
Damn, High Roller! You put FAR better fluid in your rebuilt mower than I do in my Jeep. LOL. My Jeep would choke and die if it got that fancy-schmancy fluid. If I used anything but generic it wouldn't know what to do.
well, I got on a forum and asked an egghead lawnmower guru and he said synthetic was the best,or else it would have gotten walmart brand.
I need to do the same thing to a mower. My place isn’t big enough to need a side-by-side, but it’d be nice to have a tractor that I leave my little harbor freight 40x42” trailer attached to at all times! Hey, take care of yourselves during this COVID-19 thing! It’s SERIOUSLY hard on your lungs! I’m on the absolute frontline of this thing and it sucks, but I just have to do what I can to protect myself and my family and keep trudging on.
Do you have enough masks??? I have about 10 I could send you if you need them.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose I really appreciate the thought!! As of right now, we are still good on supplies. They are getting hard to find because the US is way too dependent on China for our medical supplies, and of course, they’re factories are closed right now, but my employers are really good, so we have a pretty decent supply as of now. Thank you for the thought though!!!
Looks much better.
So much better after pressure washing, hopefully that didn’t expose too many issues
No, it was in far better shape than I anticipated.
She cleaned up real nice. I've been inside moaning about the weather here. I feel like we've been transported to the PNW.
It’s been crazy wet here too.
That tractor looked almost brand new after you power washed it.
I was amazed at how clean it came!
good little mowers ive got a 1972 still cut grass with it
Nice work
Be safe out there
Thanks!
I have the same Simplicity lawn tractor! Purchased it new in 1997! Mine has a 38 inch deck! Mine has a hydro static leaver to adjust ground speed on dash. I see yours has a food petal for ground speed, so yours maybe newer then 1997.
It’s been a great mower.
When you were talking about the mower being abused I thought you were gonna call the lawn mower detectives.
If people actually took care of their own equipment, half of all repair companies wouldn't exist.
We are legal to drive Gators in East Tennessee with the exception of gas powered since their max speed exceeds 35, but they don't in force it in my area. So many people around here have Gators, ATV's ect. and heck, they ride lawn mowers to this little country store down the ridge, lol. Babies nap time and your coffee break time, hehe.
there is a law That says I can drive it if I have one of those farmers warning triangles on the back. I also have to call my place a farm. Since they have outlawed chickens and any other livestock in this town, I would have to call it a worm farm.
@@bctruck Wonder if Meal Worm farming is easier than Red Wiggler farming? Wonder which one has the best ROI?
I would keep the deck. Could always use a spare lawn mower. Ive got 5 spares. Lol
I will. I don’t need it as a mower but never say never
I have the same one except it's the Kohler I just replaced the mechanical fuel pump and now it fires up but my forward is very weak and reverse feels like it's going out and I didn't even do anything to it so should I have Purge my system?
Yep. Lift the back end and run it in forward and reverse for a few minutes.
Is there a drain plug on that transmission? I have the same one. Thanks
Yes.
When you said you were going to jack it up, I had visions of the mower with big monster truck tires 😄This video may not be appropriate for younger mowers as it shows an undressed mower 😅
naked mowers on spring break!
You are a perfectionist.
I just try to do things in such a fashion that I don’t have to do it again.
What's that white fan under the seat for? A fart conditioner?
It’s a fart propelled machine. Oddly enough, I can get it to burn rubber and my wife can barely get it to move.
Hey man, I have this exact mower, but the 14HP engine... My dad got it new in the 90's and passed it on down. I've had it running for a good long time now, but it seized up yesterday... :( It sounds like the solonoid is clicking and sometimes there is a buzzing sound. Battery reads about 12.1 or 12.2 from the battery to the solonoid, and from the solonoid to the starter... I have tried blasting PB blaster into it and put new oil in, but I'm still not able to crank it. My dad is not sure it isn't the starter... but I'm getting him to come over today to look at it. Hopefully we can get it running again... As you say, it's not the prettiest, but it has been very good for a very long time... Any ideas would be appreciated...
I miss my old Simplicity with the huge deck and rollers. missed the 2 acres in 2 hours.
How do you get the transmission oil out? And how does on purge?
There is a bolt on the bottom. You can recognize it because it will be close to the center of the transmission and will be slightly lower than the rest of the bolts. Drain, refill, then leave it jacked up and in gear. Start it and run it in forward and the reverse. That will
Purge it. Use synthetic oil.
Hi i have same tractor what oil going to transmission what spec? Thank you.
Mobil one 10-30 synthetic.
Super! Thank you so much,engine oil is the same? Sorry this is my first lawn mower i get my with trailer for 300€ kohler engine 16 hp im happy 😉
dawidwojtaldw great engine! Yes, same oil for engine.what country are you in? Oh, one more thing. Under the mower deck, there are grease fittings.
@@bctruck Am Polish man living in ireland sout east 🙂next month my lawnmower going to Poland for good,i want to do good service before im start work in the garden,underneath is the bolt for drain oil? From the gearbox? I dont know how to change engine oil😂you ready to help me🙂
dawidwojtaldw sure. Contact me through my email and tomorrow I’ll take a picture of the bolt that is for the drain and email it to you. Bctruck@gmail.com
Regular fuel in my neck of the woods in Commiefornia is $2.79 per gallon.
Well darn . . . . . my wife sez the same thing to me . . . . "Are you listening to me???" . . . haha . . . I'm not the only one . . . . Rog
Nice tractor for 150 bucks should make a good cart hauler
I think it will come in very handy.
Nice
Still trying to decide on channel name change?
I’m gonna leave it be.
Finish the job
$1.67/gallon? Wow! I'm in california right now and it's about $3.69/gallon.
Taxes!!
Like they say you get what you vote for and unfortunately sometimes you get what mindless zombies vote for.
👍👍
Does anybody know how to disengage the hydrostatic transmission on one of these old simplicity riding mowers ?
On mine, there’s a small “L” shaped rod on the lower right foot well, tight in front of the fender. Pull it towards the front of the mower with a pair of pliers.
Thanks ! Great videos ! My old simplicity konked out in the woods - we use it to mow trails ! @@bctruck
Domino of repair/ rebuild/ fix it right OCD.
I'm surprised that cut the grass at all.
I think they used u til it quit cutting, then sold it.
Simps cut the best i love my regent
This thing ran forever. I finally got rid of it over the other engine.
keep the deck
I love them gas prices !
They are gonna get lower too. Oil is down near 20 bucks a barrel now.
@@bctruck Humm maybe we should buy a 250 bulk storage tank ?
In large quantities, modern gas does two things? The ethanol disappears quickly leaving you with an octane level that is ten percent lower octane ( 87 octane would be 78.3 octane) and secondly, it attracts moisture. I store about 80 gallo s but I cycle it through my cars and machinery quickly enough that it doesn’t have a chance to do either of those two things.
@@bctruck what ifn its non corn fuel ? and you use stable ?
Theredneck Prepper the non corn fuel with stabil should be good for a couple of years
Make into a hotrod.
It ain't rocket surgery
I need that deck.
Our neighbor gave me the same mower but with a 18hp vanguard.
It had been sitting for years because the deck rusted completely out.
Has 400 h on it.
Where do you live?
Virginia
@@jldwolfe Im in Texas. Id give it to you if you were closer.
man those gas prices....
GAS PUMP GLOVE'S
Every time you think you are doing a simple repair, it turns out to be a major overhaul, or so it seems to be.
It sure seems like it!!
make knives out of mower blades
Mower blades are not good steel for knives. They are made from steel that is low carbon (1040-1045) to allow for some flexibility for hitting objects harder than grass. There are hardening alloys in lawnmower blades but they are ultimately to soft of a metal to make good knives from. People do it,but it’s not a good alternative.
That gas price was from when Trump was president. I sure miss under 2 bucks a gallon for gas.
The good old days.
I skipped around at least ten times and never saw you drain or fill your tranny! Waste of time!
Sowwy.
I want one of those chairs. Yep you keep talking crap about your little town they will start watching for you riding on the street till they run you off. LMAO
When the cops stop riding their golf cart around town, I’ll start worrying about it.
@@bctruck to funny. Where was it y'all bought those chairs at?
A local furniture company near here.
