    I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.

    Those 3.5 hp classic engines are probably the most reliable small engine that has ever been made.

    Paid $69.99 at Western Auto for that mower in 1989 to cut grass as a summer hussle

    Happy Independence day to all you in the US. I would have had a beer now, with my wife being a US citizen, unfortunately; it's hard 4 me to be joyful now;;; I lost her in an accident when she was pregnant with my child. A child that would have been in their 20's now. Good luck all US, we genuinely love you, and celebrate safely.. RE

    This was the $39.99 K-mart special back in 1990. People used and abused these until they could afford a better mower

    It's a super basic mower... but it gets the job done. Sometimes the simplicity of it leads to greater reliability.

    We used the Kmart mowers for years. Change the oil and spark plug on a yearly maintenance schedule. Change the blade and plastic wheels when they are bad. Clean the underside of grass clippings then spray some silicone lube on the deck. We got a rider and I don't know what happened to push mower. We still have the roto tiller. It's green also. This just brings back memories,thanks.

    Just two little things here James: the airfilter goes on the other way around, an extremely common mistake. Also that intake tube should not have any play in it, if it does, it´s sucking air which makes a stable rpm and good carb adjustment difficult. As the mixture varies with the height of the fuel in the tank, Briggs&Stratton recommends to adjust the carb when the tank is filled two thirds.

    Ah when engineers ran a buisness and not bottom aligned accountants.

    I certainly didn’t expect the inside of that tank to be in such spotless condition. I was certainly surprised.

    Those old flatheads will run forever

    One of my favorite engines thanks! Turn the air filter assembly around 180 degrees. It will fit like a puzzle piece and look so nice and give more room for fueling.

    I'll bet that mower was 'parked' when they were unable to find a replacement blade. It's always nice to come across something old that needs little beyond some routine maintenance and a bit of 'buff and shine'!

    air filter cover needs turned 180 degrees , before tightening the carb to the tank you need to hook-up the choke to the diaphragm then close the choke all the way and tighten the carb screws 😁

    That mower is a "blast from the past" for me. I bought one at Caldor back in the early 90's for $99. I needed the engine for a nicer mower deck that I was given. Those engines were made forever and will run forever if you change the oil. It is as basic as a mower can be and I am glad someone is getting some use out of it.

    Thanks 🙏 for creating such great content and for your encouragement and support of my efforts to restore old and abandoned mowers.

    My favorite mechanic does it again. Glad it didn’t turn out to be a clunker. My son will get a real kick out of watching this later today. Good job, my friend.
