    I picked up this crusty zero turn a little while ago along with another lawn mower. it was $200 for the pair. Lets take a look what's wrong with this Poulan pro zero turn, and have some fun.

    That's awesome, a $100 for a zero turn that only needed a fuze to get it running? Your gonna make bank on this unit. Great vid as always

    Alex, you struck gold on that machine. A 50 cent fuse and its running. That engine sounds like new. I dont know what it brings for money in your area, but i see hundred dollars bills in your future. I hope the John Deere works out the same way .✌💲💲🇺🇸

      I still can’t believe it with the fuse, but I’ll get some parts together so we can get this machine up and going like it’s supposed to. I would guess this would be close to $1000 in my area all cleaned up and running good. Fingered crossed in the Deere as well Roger. Thank you as always for the amazing support.

    Nice job Alex, you lucked up on this one brother. Every time I work on anything with hydros on it I always forget to disengage the release when I try to pull it out. 🤣👍
    I like those racing slicks on the rear end. LoL!!

    • @freedommowers640
      @freedommowers640  11 месяцев назад +1

      Right!! Those levers get me every time. I’ve got a new mini tire changer to try out hopefully get these drag slicks changed out on the rear. I think this mower just needs a lot of little small things to get it squared away, but so far I can’t get over how good it runs. Thanks for coming by brother.

  • @Rein_Ciarfella
    @Rein_Ciarfella Месяц назад +1

    Bummer, Alex! I recently became interested in ZT and was hoping for a part 2. That’s ok - I understand. I suspected you got it cleaned up and someone made you an offer.
    I would have thought you could sell it all restored for $1200-$1500 and double what you had into it, including a day’s labor.
    Even though there’s no Part 2, I came away with a great algorithm for assessing the starting electrics on a new machine. Thx! 🔧👍

I know the ignition switch is working on that one you have but with my personal riding mower I picked up free a couple years ago back it kept popping the fuse because it was the wrong ignition switch on there and the tabs to plug into didn't line up to what they were supposed to go to had to get a new one and solved that problem, but it's a mystery on that one but hey it works now 😎

    Im Sorry BUT that 7.5 with corrosion all in it should have been replaced too! HOLY HELL OCD TRIGGER WARNING! I get youre just flipping it But come on man do IT PROPERLY. i always replace things like that cause its a liability on you if that corrosion is whats making that 7.5a into a 50a fuse and it BURNS, ESP since you posted this video online showing this repair. Also youre right theres no way it was just a fuse, they dont pop for no reason! work it out a bit i promise you'll find a reason for it to have popped lol

      I agree 100%. I should have shown it getting changed out and what I had found. I am still learning, and I wanted to show what I did to correct the issue, but I had someone else that wanted it, and said they would take on the issues it had. I did find a positive wire that had a small bare spot that had contacted the frame. I corrected the issue with heat shrink, and replaced the fuse with a new one as well as put electrical grease in the contacts to the fuse holder. I appreciate you watching and I will continue to try and improve my troubleshooting as well as showing things more in depth.
