This tractor goes from not running or mowing, to an awesome and reliable machine. #diy #toro #tractor #mower #mowerrepair #smallenginerepair #smallengine #flipper #restoration #restore #mechanical #mechanic #fix #kohler #lawnmower #lawncare

Good to see young people getting their hands dirty- I have been working on lawn equipment for over 60 years- I have never bought an air filter for a lawn mower in my life

[@Kylebythecreek]

My hands are dirty! Guilty as charged

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Yes it's good to see young take advantage of their youth ..cuz it goes by fast! I'm 70.

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@gradyhernandez4699 thank you. I’m trying my best not to put it to waste!

[@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293]

Could you have waxed the bonnet and fenders and made it look better?

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293 yeah, that would have looked better. But, in the end, it’s just a lawn mower that I’m trying to sell for a couple hundred dollars on Facebook marketplace

[@whatsnextgarage]

Well done Kyle!! And the channel is pickin up steam!!

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks David! I appreciate the support!

[@gregorypierce6703]

I remember some 30+ years ago when a neighbor was heating up the plastic on his riding mower and it was all shining again like magic!😎 Great job and the video is awesome dude.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks!

[@MrKennyaa]

thats a cool little trick with the torch

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks! That trick works on almost any sun faded plastic

[@peterunderdown4374]

Fantastic clean up job.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thank you!

[@mavision6525]

Looked good.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks!

[@alberteller7286]

Nice work looks great. I thought for sure that starter was bad to my surprise it was
The Solenoid. No problem selling that one.🙏🏻

[@darrelldubree9658]

Nice job, thank you for sharing :)

[@Kylebythecreek]

You’re welcome! I’m looking forward to making more videos

[@nelson262]

Kyle, nice job on the toro mower, locks awesome

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks!!

Your definition of restored differs from mine! 😆

[@Kylebythecreek]

Tell me what you think!

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

@@Kylebythecreek Restored: OEM the way it looked when it first came off the production line. This is more like it'll be fine !

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@a.c.m.e.ink.4568 got it. Yeah, the work I do is certainly not oem

[@philliphall5198]

Can’t make a profit doing that and if you are keeping it then I fix everything i possibly can for long term use 😊

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Good determination

[@user-co4jh6zg3d]

Kyle...can you show Before and After pics....Please...!!

[@robertmailhos8159]

The torch works for certain types of plastic so be careful with the plastic

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks!

[@robertmailhos8159]

@@Kylebythecreek your welcome young man 👍😎 and keep up the amazing work on the mowers and other things that you are working on

[@danielmierop662]

I love your work and channel!

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thank you very much! It’s been a lot of fun so far. I’m looking to keep the channel growing. So, thanks for the support!

[@tommyprince9635]

Burnt cylinder oil works great in leaking tires also

[@billyrichverygoodcoverever2717]

Another good one Kyle, and some guys don’t show their face, I wonder

[@snoopysrc]

Kyle you gained a new sub

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@AbcDef-iq4no]

Thirty-two bucks for an air filter that cost 75 cents to make in china, that sounds about right.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Yep!

[@philliphall5198]

I try really hard not to crank them but a few seconds
I used primer bottle or spray
Once I rebuilt carb I prime it with a bottle of gasoline for quick start
Buying a new starter will wipe out the profit in a heartbeat 😊

[@gradyhernandez4699]

I work on these

[@peteanderson1714]

See you have the trusty gl500 there. Have 2 here.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Yes I do! It’s my first bike. I’m just getting into riding and I love it, and the GL500 is awesome

[@IamRemoWilliams]

Rock on my good man!!!

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thank you!

[@donaldboley771]

I wouldn't bypass the seat switch on a mower I was going to sell. But my own, I always bypass them. 😅

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thank you for letting me know

[@joeluppino824]

Heat on the red paint will work like it does on stadium seats.

[@countryboyexplorer2411]

I've got an antique John Deere with electric start single blade riding mower

[@TheCaperfish]

bro 30 min with some maguires cutting compound and a drill with a sponge wheel on it would make that paint new again

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks for the tip!

[@alan-dr8uo]

Piss on the people who want to down talk you your doing good

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks Alan. I’m confident in my work!

[@Cutecummins]

That can mean the belt is too small

[@mftidwell]

I've never heard of using ATF to stop leaks. How does that not just seep out the hole ?

[@Kylebythecreek]

ATF expands rubber. It works great to expand the rubber tie and close the crack or leak in the tire- just as long as it’s a rather small leak

[@594bolt]

Do you leave the trans fluid in the tire or wait 'til it seals the leak and drain most of it out?

[@Kylebythecreek]

I leave it in

[@bigreeezy]

No oil leaks?

[@Kylebythecreek]

None! I know these engines crack and leak, but I caught this one before the sump bolts backed out. Somewhere in the video you can see me tightening them on down.

[@mikedavis2969]

👍

[@portiamyers3924]

I yaket for right price

[@joegrillo6188]

I was very disappointed and watching you remove a carburetor claim to have cleaned it, but not show it hmmm and every time you go to start it time your spraying brake cleaner in it and instead of pulling the choke and it shows as you put a rebuilt carb on and used spray with the choke wide open?!?!! That was very disappointing not as experienced as I thought you were ! you should check your videos before you publish them just saying!

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Can you do it better chief(?/

[@Kylebythecreek]

I’m sorry you were disappointed
