FREE Snapper Snowblower Found In Ditch Will it Run?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- I found this Snapper 5HP snowblower in the ditch left for dead on the way to the shop for FREE. So, of course, I couldn't pass it up. I checked with the previous owner and the Gal said it just stopped running some time ago, and they couldn't get it running again. Think this old machine will come back to life and run again?

That guy just made this guy happy that that guy is bringing the snowblower back to that gal after fixing it... You, my friend are truly awesome!
Ya, what he said. NIICCCCE.
Yup. That was a classy thing to do.
The fact that you brought it back fixed says a lot about your character.
The fact that you asked before taking it and made a connection with the owner, says even more.
I always ask unless there's a big free sign on it, ya never know.
That was the best ending of a video, I bet you feel just wonderful with that act of kindness.
So much respect!!!!
So a fella gets a nice old free Snowlauncher, repairs it and returns it back to the original owner who’s a single mom.
That’s a really good man right there. God bless ya Derek!
Yup
A feller just has to give back sometimes.
That was so cool returning it to the owner after you fixed it up. You have earned yourself a higher rating from all subscribers.
"Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” -Scott Adams
Good on you dude, good on you 👍
You're a class act Derek. 👍👌😁
I bet something really nice happens to you real soon - I hope so.😁
We need more people in this world to be like you,honest,and taking care of others that can use help.
That's a true American and a good neighbor. The ones who hate america expect to be taken care of rather than taking care of themselves and others. Folks could learn some of these old fashioned good American Values from a feller like Derek.
Believe it or not they’re a lot of people like him in this world ! Of course they’re out numbered by assholes 10 fold but hey.
I definitely agree with you.
Derek is my American hero.
@@reaganwright8209 Amen you said a mouth full
When the comments are so nice, a guy don't think he's on RUclips anymore...
Thanks for your great content! I'm hooked on your channel!
Ya usually there not so nice.
@@neilmurphy845 How can you leave a bad comment on this channel?
@@alwaysopen7970 No I'm on about the comments usually they're not nice on other channels but this one they are I like mustis channel he's a great guy.
That’s even worse a year later but the comments still very valid, good stuff!
Great to see a guy doing a random act of kindness. Hats off to you sir. My son and I love watching your videos.
You just made a guy get a little tear in his eye... Awesome thing to do. 😢. Great video. God bless you brother
Ditto
Same here
yup
Class act, Derek!!! With all the nasty garbage that happens in this world with everything that’s going on, a guy really appreciates seeing an act of kindness.
Thank you Brian
@@ViceGripGarage you the man!!!
You, sir, are a fine gentleman. Returning that snow blower was a genuinely first-class thing to do and makes me realize that there are still a few genuinely nice, caring and understanding people in the good, old, US of A. Thanks for making an old man's day and a single mom's load a little lighter! All the best to you, Jessica and the boys!!
“What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”. Nice one Derek. 👍
Never force a fart.
@@CosmosArchipelago and never fart a force greater than you can pucker
You're a class act, Derek. I'm glad I found your channel.
Damn! Is that ever true! This was one, if not his best. That bb rollin’ around in that mellon can get a guy laughin’ so it hurts! Did NOT know a Snapper could be so dang funny!
So cool that you fixed it and gave it back to the person you got it from. That's a really nice gesture. God Bless you Derek.
This is why you shouldn't read comments while you watch the video 😂
@@darrenswails ikr
Well done Derrick!! The plight of the single mother needs to be recognized more often by the strong men in our communities. She definitely has her hands full raising two boys by herself. Your gift is an example to us all.
"Wonder what Shania Twain's doing right now" Probably waiting for the next VGG video like the rest of us. Legend!
Great way to close a video!
you beat me to it.. He always dose the right thing
@@freethinker1492 Good to see! Appreciated!!
I Agree. Absolutely Fantastic!
It sure was! Good going Derek. Merry Christmas to you and the Family
@@DScaglione. Same here, and if you go back and look closely. There seems to be another envelope under his note. I'm betting it's a Christmas card. Just for the added bonus of his wobble pop tasting a smidge better when he gets home. Nice bloke & I like his brothers too. Like to sit down and have a cold snack, or 3, with them all one day.
What a great guy helping out the single mum. Top shelf stuff
That was most likely one of many of the heart warming things you do , have done and will do for folks that you recognize in need . A guy just does things like that . Chivalry is not dead , not on Derek’s watch . Good catch Jessica , he’s a keeper 👍
You’re a man with a good heart. Awesome. We need more people like you in this world. Thanks for a great video my friend.
Thanks for watching Elmer
Derek could serve martinis from all the way across the driveway now. Just add to booze to that slush...
I agree, you're a thoughtful guy.
A guy loves to see you revive a dandy old thrower. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
A guy loves knowing his favorite RUclipsrs, watch each other!
@@GMT400Chevy yeaaahhh, buddy!!!!
Zach watches vgc awesome both my favorites!!
Ayyyy
Oh, a Vice Grip Farmer episode is just what a guy needs.
Great video and awesome gesture. My dad (84) has still has his 1962 Ariens snow blower with a 6 HP Techumseh "Snow King" Ezee Start engine. It has started on the first or second pull for 59 years and get used every winter. My dad still clears his neighbors drive ways after every snow fall.
"Help me understand" needs to be a T-Shirt
"I'll be dipped" would be good one.
@@haroldbutt9007 has that one already
Yup make it happen @vgc
I said it outloud at work the other day and my coworkers look on her face was priceless. She didn't know who I was taking to.
Absolutely 💯!
The smooth satin sounds of snow blowing made it for me
A guy gets a little choked up when he hears it went back to the lady and her family all man-ta-nanced as it was 👍🏽
Derek I agree that your heart is in the right place. Definitely need so much more of that today. What a wonderful act of kindness. Love watching VGG
This has to be one of your best episodes yet.. it warmed my heart to see another guy going out of his way to help someone out. Not much of that going around these days. Good on you, brother.
I didn't think I could like a guy more, until he gave the blower back :)
He fixed her Snapper, how nice!
All the great comments Derek are truly a testament of what makes your channel the best on RUclips, there’s no doubt your father would be proud of you and your family. I never had children, if you were my son I know I’d be extraordinarily proud to be your father…. ❤
Mustie rebuilt a Cutlass, VGG is fixing snowblowers. 2020 has been a wild year.
This comment wins youtube.
Now collab!
He lost a hard drive with content to corruption thus this sorta content now. I like it.
Do a Cleetus and add NOS
🤣😂🤣😂😍
There’s just something about you yelling “help me understand” that gives a guy a good laugh
I've caught myself starting to use it now...
@@BahamaRoadStudio me too. also I'll be dipped
My favorite line. Lol
Gives this girl a good laugh too!
His back is hurting him...
...proceeds to lift up snow blower by himself...
that just what us dummys do when you work by yourself
It's the difference between static pain for a long time vs dynamic pain in a short burst I have used a couple 2x8 planks for a ramp up to the top of an old picnic table to work on our snow thrower, lawn mower or generator.
Been there , done that!
You get to thinking if you do it quick, it might not notice, but it doesn’t always work like that... I don’t know...
C-6 or 8. Maybe both. Wait for MRI to confirm.
I didn’t expect or see that ending. Great guy.
Your gifting the snowblower back to someone who really needs it tells me all I need to know about your character. So happy to have found you on the tube.
Thanks Bobby
@@ViceGripGarage I bet that gal subscribed to the channel
You are the man Derek , a little gesture like that means the world to people who don’t have the time or the know how to repair a snow blower. Mad respect for you . Cheers
Solid man fixing a lady's snow thrower like that.
Love it!
If the F100 and Cadillac could talk. They'd be saying, " A guy must really love us, we're being stored in doors, while a Corvette sits outside!!" 😁
Keep doing what you do Derek, your comic relief is much needed during the 2020 dumpster fire.
He didn't want ants in his garage ... hoping they'll die off in the cold weather ; )
@@kimosabbe50 That's right, forgot about the ants.....dangit.😁
As time goes on everyone that watches your videos and realizes how great a person you really are along with your family. Have a wonderful Christmas and new year and God bless you and the family
You are absolutely the best brother! To give back like you do makes you such a great role model. Don't EVER change my friend!💯🤜🤛🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
"Crying shame" is right! Bring back shop classes! 👍
100% right on. I loved woodshop. The younguns need to learn the fulfillment of working with your hands, and that there is nothing wrong with it.
Yes! PS 61 Buffalo, NY 1956 Industrial Arts classes began at third grade. Shops are magical places.
@@jordancapps9521 Not only nothing wrong with it, but a youngster just being proud of something they built with their own 2 hands. Truly rewarding.
@@johnshrader1655 magical for sure! Nothing more exciting than getting to go to shop class mid day of school tomorrow learn how to build. Oh the good old days
It starts with us. If your local School Board asks for funding or additional bonding... say yes in the ballot booth. Nothing happens in the schools if we won't pay for it.
just when you think you like a fella and want to binge watch all his videos he has to go and do a thing like this, brings a tear to my heart. You're well worth the subscription.
Sometimes just when a guy couldn’t find a cape... he just doesn’t even need it. Heeeyah git back in that driveway whence ye came.
Killer ending to a great vid.
Well, if that didn't pull right on a guy's heart strings!
Oh, this got me teary eyed. I’ve been a single mom trying to raise kids and was on the receiving end of similar acts of kindness. It meant the world to me and I bet it for her, too. Thank you ❤
Seeing you give that blower back to her makes this my favorite episode your one hell of a guy👍👍👍
how derek doesnt have his own tv show yet is beyond me, i never really had a dad to teach me all this stuff and its a true blessing to learn from this channel
I believe his dad mr. RED GREEN should get him a spot. If she cant find you handsome at least shell find you handy.
I've got a Craftsman snow blower just as old runs like a charm you can't kill the older ones. New carbs are only 15.00 on Amazon and come w a new primer.
I'm really impressed he picked that thing up like it was nothing those things are heavy
I just learned that Sasquatch’s have big ole hearts 😉😁.
I’ll tell you what Derek, a man can sit and watch you do anything fix anything and still makes me laugh my ass off. And that was awesome of you to actually fix it and give it back to the lady, you’re just a great fellow LOL
Old car revivals are cool, but even with makedo content, its still what a guy likes to watch.
Gotta imagine he has more interesting things in store for the coming Christmas Season!
That was a very beautiful thing you did for her. Thoughtful and kind.
You often say “black as your soul.” What I’ve seen on this channel goes to show how inaccurate that wording regarding your soul is. I do understand it is for the fun of it. It even makes it more fun when you say it, knowing how warm-hearted and kind you really are.
Keep up the good work! That goes for all of you in the family business. 👍🏻😊
The ending was the nicest thing ever, fixing and returning it to someone who could clearly use it was totally the right thing to do especially when you could have used it too but saw that they could use it more. I am so glad you got a great video out of it too. Heart warming.
Yup Vise grips got the gt 500 tractor to move the snow
Get her factory and set it back at the house you found it at . With a note . Our love to you Vice Grip Garage
This act of selfless kindness, is exactly what separates the men from the boys. God bless you and your family Derek! You’re the reason I BBC still believe we can take this republic back. Let’s start with getting those small engine shop classes back in our schools ah?! 👊🏻
Red and blue both suck time to try something new like libertarianism
@@bennyjetsaroundtheworld9047 no, it’s not. Because it’s not about ‘parties’, it’s about following the constitution and bill of rights. You want to scrap that and ‘try something new’, and THAT, is no different than the democrats trying to change it to socialism or communism. I’ve always said, there is liberal-tarians are no different than progressive (socialist/communist) democrats and both, are enemies of our constitutional republic with a republican form of government. If liberal-tarians aren’t democrats, than their next natural progression is anarchy.
What a nice thing you did for her your a good man🙏🏻🇺🇸⚓️
That was a top of the line snow blower when new. I would say it's from the late 80's. I used to work on them years ago when I worked for Sears Service Center. Man don't hurt your back!
@Butter Ball the only problem I've seen on these is the auger/impeller bushings go bad, but those are on the mistreated ones. Last one I picked up I just kept the engine, rest was beat to hell n back, cracks and barely holding together.
This shows why you’re the best program on RUclips!! Keep it up and those boys of yours will be the type of stand up gentlemen I hope my daughter falls in love with some day! You rock Derek
I couldn't think of a better thing to do with that old girl. You're the kind of good person we could use more of in this world!! A1class act👍.
Giving that snowblower back to the gal who you got it from made me smile, Great example of the kind of guy you are. Hope the holidays are great for you and your family.
That was a really good video. And on top of that it was great to see that you you did something so nice for her. You don't see that unfortunately very much anymore. Keep up the awesome work.
Class move, Derek. A guy just sold some merch demonstrating character like that.
Derek kinda grows on ya just like athletes feet he does. Once ya get with him just once he kinda stays forever...
Legit bought a going to town hat!! Now I need a snazzy shirt :) pick one up on Friday ya probley should :)
Mustie has a motorcycle lift that he uses a lot for small engine projects. Save your back. That lift you did with the snow blower hurt my back just watching. 👍👍 for returning it to the mom.
I hear that! Too many lifts like that and a fella will be singing in the soprano range!!!
Derek, ya can't do a proper Mustie1 type video without a lift! Bruce Pender always runs his camera so that it looks like he has a fast robotic leg when he lifts up his mowers and such.
Ha I watch him too amazing what you can learn on RUclips haha
I've got a motorcycle table, it's covered with the parts of a disassembled lathe
Was waiting on the Mustie1 shout out...did not leave disappointed
As always I enjoy your videos. What made this one a winner was the ending when you returned it to the single mother whom gave it away free as it didn't run. That was such a nice gesture I wish more people were like you!
I appreciate you helpin' out a single mom.
I was raised by one and I know the struggles.
Darn near broke a guys heart with that one
You have a gracious heart, taking the blower to that familys home, well done my friend.
You're always looking to help someone out. Wishing there were more people like you in the world. Everything that has gone on through 2020 . All we need is kindness. It goes a long way .
Well that ending hit me right in the tear make it happener. God bless you Derek
lol.. for sure
You big hearted old softy, God bless you man.
Dude! You are without a doubt, not only entertaining but a class-act human being! Doing what you did for that lady was what all us human beans should be. Helpen-Outers. Helping folks sometimes and not looking for anything back. Actually, I think doing things for others is of its ownself payback. It just feels good to help people.
During a time when good deeds are limited a fellar happy to see a guy help someone out. Who's cutting onions?
You're a stand up guy Derek! The world needs more of you. VGG 🤘🤜🤛
That is so awesome that you gave it back to her all fixed up and in working condition! Super nice thing to do for someone who could use every hand up she can get. Thank you man!
I’ll be dipped. A guy thought he was watching Mustie for a second there.
i watch mustie a lot and i thought thats who it was then i seen vgg i was like guy has to watch that ill be dipped
You win the most wholesome video on the internets so far. Especially that ending. You’re a great guy. The world needs more people like you in it.
sometimes a guy wears his heart on his sleeve and makes life a little easier for someone less fortunate!
Derek , even though a guy only knows you from the old innertube I am proud to say I know you . You have a big heart and are a great role model . I can't put into words what it meant to me when you waved the greatest flag and symbol of freedom in the world at the burnout . God bless you and Jessica and boys .
A guy does the right thing and fixes er back to factree and returns her back to the owner! Kind gestures are still out there, kudos Derek!
It's lovely to see something like this brought back to life and given back to the community.
So a guy got super inspired by your videos. Took a risk and bought a jeep that hadn't run in about 20 years sigh unseen. Brung her home and I'd be dipped if I didn't get her running and driving lol
I appreciate all the hard work you guys do, the content and the commentary is awesome! God bless and can't wait for the next one!!
Time for a cold snack from San Antonio TX.
Mustie 1 would be proud
"This is a full restoration at this point..." 😅😅 of a used snowblower! I love this channel!!
Edit: I love what you did at the end...you have a big heart.
This video just gives a guy the warm and fuzzies. Never change Derek.
That really was the only decision on what to do with it once it was all in order Derek. Way to go and I truly enjoyed watching this!
You're a good man Derek!!! My hat goes off to ya.
I've been watching VGG for a little while now and enjoy all of it especially the dry humor.
How can anybody put a thumbs down on this one, can someone clue me in on that ?
That's real heart Derek. We need kindness "Right NOW!!!" God will continue to Bless You.
Derek, I gotta say man, I damn near was in tears there at the end... You're a decent old soul you are, wished there were more of you around!
love that you thought of that person and gave the snow blower back. class act man!
Santa paid that gal a visit.
My husband and I love watching your channel. God bless from Georgia.
Thanks so much
What a nice gesture makes me feel good too know there are men helping single moms GOD bless you sir
That thing is just like my 30 something year old Roper snowblower with an 8hp Tecumseh. Got it from my step mom after my dad passed away some years ago. Had been sitting for probably 10 years. Was able to clean the carb and replace the friction drive wheel and have been using it ever since. My neighbors are amazed how far it shoots snow. Very nice of you to donate it back to those in need.
This is a real man! This is the type of person we need more of in this world! God bless you sir!
loved the ending of this. your a good man. God Bless you friend.
That is awesome you gave it back! Good people are hard to come by in this crazy world. You’re a class act, Derek.
Spoiled it for me
Will a feller ever need a snow blower in South Texas? NO
Will a feller still watch this video? YEUP
Thank you!
@@ViceGripGarage The fact that you replied to me made my week! Thank you!! Love the channel!
Won't need one in NE Texas either!
Don't need one in southern Commiefornia either 91 here today!
@@yournamehere6365 you poor bastard
You're decent bloke Derek, some that of that good old boy state of mind.
Paying it forward. ✌😎
For your kindness you have earned a Golden Vice Grip Award, whatever that is. May God Bless you and your family.
Wow, that ending almost choked a guy up!
Excellent job paying it back! We need more folks in the world like you! Keeping up the good work, love the channel! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well done on making the repairs and very nice giving the machine back the family. I can't imagine what kind of people would give this video a thumbs down. They are truly lost.
LOVE THIS SHOW YOU ARE ONE DOWN TO EARTH FELLA I HOPE THIS SHOW GOES BIG TIME FOR YA YOU DESERVE IT!!!! YOU WOULD FIT RIGHT IN HERE IN CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA LOL 👍
Cape Breton.. Giddyup!
A PEI guy right here fellers!
