I usually try and buy a more expensive mower. But recently i've found a couple of mowers in the garbage with rusted out decks but still had good engines that i used to fix my my push mowers for next year
As the proud owner of the cheapie chinesium power smart snowblower, I think you know where I stand when it comes to, I want something to last one season then I don't care. I gave up on my old JD lawn tractor and will get a new one come spring.
little tip that you might be able to put to use on the recoil plastic thats missing. Put some baking soda and superglue. maybe put a piece of tape as a backer and you can reform that bit of material thats missing. the mix of those 2 items create a super hard material that wont any time soon wear away. bit of black touchup paint and it would look almost like new. if you spent a few minutes sanding. it may end up looking like nothing ever happened.
Great content. I just started repairing push mowers and weed eaters due to watching your channel! It's going well so far - but I do not have any parts mowers and want some!
thank you James Ash, I appreciate you watching and your time. Having a parts mower is great, you might find out that you'll need a collection of at least a dozen or so different mowers to cover all your needs, just for a single part. That's why I would just rely on Ebay instead
I can only imagine what that blade hit, it probably ended up by the street because he hit something big and assumed the vibration meant it was internally damaged. I always go for 3 or 4 turns on the rope too, only because I don't lose as much progress if it gets away from me doing the last 1 or 2.
The girls below us got me to come look at their mower, a White and a nice one with a 14 horse opposed piston Vanguard but said the blades were shaking. That was a vast understatement. I kicked the blades in and grass chunks, rocks and dirt started flying. I yanked it up and one blade half was bent straight DOWN. Don't ask. I sure didn't. They got a new blade and I put it on. Deck needs work but I can't do it. Trying to get enough zip to do my own. Getting more geezerish is a pain in the body!
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I worked construction 50+ years driving and running all matters of stuff and even lawn maintenance but nothing exactly like that. The Army came close though.
thank you Waterman one, and no there are marks on the blade to let you know if it's was on upside down, and don't forget this was temporary, as we need to replace the blade anyway.
Hello, I have a question for you and the comments section. I have a Homelite Super 2 UT10696 chainsaw. I got it to start earlier this morning and it shut off. I tried to start it again and it won't start now. I've had issues with it for years and always got it taken to a shop but since I've been watching your videos I've been interested in fixing it myself. The air filter was a little dirty so I took it out for a second and it wouldn't start. The only thing I noticed that was odd was the primer bulb was getting very little fuel. I filled it up and it still doesn't get fuel or start. I'm assuming it's a carb issue now. Any other suggestions? Spark plug? Also it has been smoking when I start it but I spilled a little fuel so that could be why. Thank you for any help! I love the content!
thanks for the question. This one is going to be interesting. If you're interested in getting it running again, I would recommend a "FULL" fuel system service, or repair. I would replace the fuel filter, lines, bulb, and of course the carb. Once that's done we'll worry about the spark plug and filter.
Hey bro what's up? Whether you own a cheap or expensive piece of equipment, to me it dosen't matter once you're satisfied with the performance of the equipment. For me I have become accustomed to using a particular brand of equipment and I'm very satisfied with the quality an performance from said equipment. If I need a piece of equipment for a one time use I'll prefer to get a cheaper or even a used piece of equipment just for that purpose and call that a George.
Have you ever worked on a Tecumseh Snow King engine? Those things are exclusive only to snow throwers, and like you said in that Craftsman video snow isn’t very common where you’re at.
I have a mower almost like the but I didn't realize that after so long of use it actually shutdown from getting super hot, and it turned out that the oil was leaking out from the seal of the engine and so it was a big mess. we decided to just let it sit until we can get a chance to fix it.
Man I watch all your videos very informational, I have a question: what lubricating spray do you use most often? What should I use to keep the recoil assembly lubricated also right now I use WD-40 specialist gel lube but your insight be nice
thank you Jacob Ferfort, I used to use the cheap wd40 knock off, from supertech from wallyworld, however I now don't use any, I typically spray the old lube, and dirty away from the spring, and that's it. If you recall, would show spring the springs down, with lube, but I have found that this could cause a problem later one, so now it's just brake cleaner
Thank you. so no lube is better on the recoil rope assembly so just break clean it? Back about 6years I picked up a Yard machine push mower new and me&my mom have been mowing (2) properties every week/2weeks 9months a year just getting insight(only did DIY maintenance) so about 3/4 hours everytime mower everything Stay going strong had to switch to synthetic oil it helped alot
I have a Case 222 garden tractor that won't start/ crank. I believe that it is A 1976 model. I also believe that It has a Neutral Start switch problem. It has A disconnected wire that I can't figure out where It Goes. If you can help me that would be great. ( Also I want to make It clear that I haven't worked with small engines much, so I don't know a lot about repairing them.)
A tip to bend the new end into the recoil spring is to blow torch the end you want to bend, get it nice and hot and then bend it while it's still hot. Then it usually won't break
I would rather have a higher quality machine. That little Briggs comes on lots of different mowers as you know. The recoil is junk , the carb clogs easily and you need to keep an eye on the oil. I would still take it over a Power More though .
I know I always come off sideways but I've had to live hand to mouth all my life, never coming up to the low income standards the so-called guvmint set at poverty level so my outlook is a little different than most folks. That's why that if I needed to mow grass I wouldn't give a hoot what it was, as long as it cut. I'm still that was as all my stuff was either freebees or cost very little. I got the new splitter and new saw because I couldn't find anybody that was serious about selling a 2nd hand one. Then what money I ended up spending was just an investment. It may be old but it still does a million dollar job. This is home, not NASA! Blessings!
I wouldn't keep a bottom of the line machine like that one. more than likely, it is not going to be reliable. Even basic repairs can cost more than the machine is worth.

Neat sine wave on the starter rope.
yes it was a nice Sine wave.

I hear ya.
Nice fix on that one always good to keep spare parts for that engine glad i have and they save me in a pinch
you are correct!

ah nice tip!
I suggest searching on youtube. its an easy thing to do that can help fix some bits like that.

I think you might be right, the damage to the blade was insane before I cut it down.

I would get a better mower, was the blade on upside down? Hard to tell in the video. Thanks

Will a Weld hold on that thinner type metal?? & will you make a video on that///love to see how you do it...Thanks!!
not sure, probably for a little while, but not forever.
Nice job done. I would get a mainstream mower. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You get what you pay for. What size bent pliers do you use?
thanks I don't recall, what size they are, because I got them, years ago.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE they look to be 8 inch, but thanks anyways.
I think you might be right.

What do you use to flush the oil from the engine? Thank you.
it's just old stale gasoline

Have you ever worked on a Tecumseh Snow King engine? Those things are exclusive only to snow throwers, and like you said in that Craftsman video snow isn’t very common where you’re at.
no I haven't had the chance to work on one yet.
I have a mower almost like the but I didn't realize that after so long of use it actually shutdown from getting super hot, and it turned out that the oil was leaking out from the seal of the engine and so it was a big mess. we decided to just let it sit until we can get a chance to fix it.
yes that's what happens when the oil is low, have you found the seal yet?
Where do you hook the end of the spring?
there's a "Catch" on the inside of the recoil pulley that grabs the hook end.
Man I watch all your videos very informational, I have a question: what lubricating spray do you use most often? What should I use to keep the recoil assembly lubricated also right now I use WD-40 specialist gel lube but your insight be nice

thanks for the tip and yes, clean with brake clean only.
Thanks alot you help alot of people keep up the good work man
I will
I have a Case 222 garden tractor that won't start/ crank. I believe that it is A 1976 model. I also believe that It has a Neutral Start switch problem.

( Also I want to make It clear that I haven't worked with small engines much, so I don't know a lot about repairing them.)
I'll try, are there anymore safeties, other than a neutral?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Not that I know of.
But I believe that the Neutral start switch Is then only safety.
can you get to the switch and bypass it, as a test? And have you tested the key switch, relay, and starter solenoid?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE By switch do you mean the key switch?
What is the size of the socket you used in the flywheel?
I think I'm using a 27mm
Keep it for backup mower or sale it
ah good idea
A tip to bend the new end into the recoil spring is to blow torch the end you want to bend, get it nice and hot and then bend it while it's still hot. Then it usually won't break
ah, nice tip!
I buy all kinds of Hyper Tough products and I would 100% replace my Murray with a Hyper Tough.
thank you for vouching for them.
Hi That's a low budget mower as I call it, If you find a John Deere with the Kawaski engine on it it's worth keeping lasts forver engine and deck.
you got that right, thank you David LaSalle.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE your welcome.
I would rather have a higher quality machine. That little Briggs comes on lots of different mowers as you know. The recoil is junk , the carb clogs easily and you need to keep an eye on the oil. I would still take it over a Power More though .
that makes sense, i don't the power more engines, I've worked on them and they seem pretty good.

amen!
I would buy middle of the road. Not cheap and not high dollar.
makes sense
I think I’ll keep my Quantum for now.
you and me both.
Mine made a popping sound and sounds like a rock is inside the engine and won't start any body know what is wrong?
not at the moment
I'd buy a mainstream mower. Cheaper to maintain.
me too thank you Christopher Marshall.
bend a new end- heat it red hot - it will not brake
thank you Army Vet.
Never seen a rope dance like that
I know right, It had some moves on it.
a mower you can get parts for' easily
so true!
HyperMuff
like that
I don't think that blade fits that mower deck.
it's the original damaged one that cut the damaged parts off, it's for testing.
The E series engine is very cheaply made sadly.
yes you are correct
I wouldn't keep a bottom of the line machine like that one. more than likely, it is not going to be reliable. Even basic repairs can cost more than the machine is worth.
you make a good point, but for someone who can't afford a better machine, it might be worth it.
