Honey the crazy neighbour is mowing the grass in the dark whooping like a banshee 😂😂😂
Yeah, I can’t figure out why my neighbors don’t like me 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I’m from south Texas like actual south Texas crack neighbor would shred his sand at night with a headlamp 😑 or cell phone light
I thought the same. But I guess they are doing the same :))
@@DieselCreek I was wondering if you shook her house again😄
The wife: Again?!
"hey dear, whats that noise outside?" "oh its just that crazy matt from next door mowing his lawn in the dark on a tractor with no lights" "thats ok then, i thought it might of been something strange......."
😂😂😂👍🏼
Thought the same thing. "It's just that idiot next door mowing his lawn in the dark in front of a camera."
Seeding dandelions!
Has 15 or so Cub Cadets but needed this one to cut the lawn! 😁
@@DieselCreek Here the police would fine a neighbor for "noise pollution" (even jail if serial offender).
I like a guy who says "Contact!" before turning on a vacuum cleaner.
Learn something new on every vedio this one taught me the term "dry as popcorn fart" wonderful. This will extend my vocubulary. Thanks love these old tractors.
He has borrowed much of the vocabulary of AvE RUclips channel. Contact, geezlus, gabage, vineage, chineseium, son of a diddly, and many others. Admittedly, It's hard not to adopt, it's very catchy.
Yeah para, the good thing is he spares us a countdown!
This is NOT NORMAL. A restoration that goes smoothly, not setbacks ,no broken seized stuff, no hidden disasters - NOT what we are used to. Well done mate. Good show.
Wel, there was that one bolt..😂
That’s because it’s American made !
You pulled off the flywheel and I thought: “ Urine trouble now!”
Ba-dump ... bump.
Wait, a 50min video about a lawn mower and you're teasing us about a barn with treasures inside? I thought we were friends here!
"lawn mower"...thems are fighting words
What do you mean? We are friends.
It a garden tractor not a lawn mower.
@@575conbon Anyone who doesn't think these are real tractors should measure the turning radius. Our Super M turned tighter.
@@575conbon It's a lawn mower. It mows lawns.
Great video. I am 80 years old and still got my 104 that I bought new in 1968. Still original, runs good and gets used about every week in the summer.

You look happier than a kid on Christmas morning. Great feeling when you bring back to life an old piece of machinery. Great job. Thanks for the video.
Hi
5:32 dryer than a popcorn fart. lmaoo I'm dying
Me too abz. Or does it mean so dry like your fart was actually made of popcorn? Dun matter, any kind of popcorn fart imagery is fukn funny! Lol!
23:00 I can feel the hanta virus entering my lungs through the screen. 💀
I saw this comment while I was spooling, and I thought "doesn't this have a bad virus associated with it?" Googled it and it is bad.

Rodents crawl all over everything you buy ..at some point...lol
Life is not as clean as you think
And I feel the Han-ta enterrr my vei-eins
Philip Brucker, this is the one time I would encourage someone to wear a mask, because it can protect against it.
@@garymallard4699 Its not the mouse touching things its the throwing their feces into the air and then breathing it. HPS is nothign to fuck around with it has a mortality rate of 38%
Unbelievable that engine had been sitting all those years and still runs like brand new. Kohler engines are one of the best lawnmower engines out there. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
My parents managed a small country hotel in Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe). We had Kohler diesel engines running a large generator producing our electrical needs for our General Store, fuel (gasoline and diesel retail pumps) Grinding corn for the locals and a second one for pumping water for our use in and around the hotel. Very reliable engines and somewhat economical. Easy to service and repair when they rarely broke down.
Well, I’m glad you had a good experience with them I’ve not been so lucky with them the Koehler command was a good engine.
I’ve work on mowers a lot the best engines I’ve worked on were Kawasaki and kubota. Briggs and Stratton and Kohler aren’t close to being in the same league
@@seanmoore6397 you’re comparing apples and oranges. These older k-series Kohler engines are bulletproof.
Matt I have watched a dozen or more of your videos and have concluded you are a fine young man, with a work ethic 99% of young men your age would do well to pay attention to. I cannot tell you how gratifying the videos are. The Abandoned Church concrete foundation repairs were riveting to me. I am particularly fascinated with concrete so that was right up my alley! Please keep the videos coming I will watch every one! Keep up the good work!
Just when i thought i am bored out of my mind, You upload a new video of almost 51 minutes. I enjoyed every minute and think that sometimes only a thumbs up isn't enough. So thank you and kudos for reviving that barn found tractor. She spins like a happy cat!
You've gotta love that older machinery...they built things to last and with pride back then.
Compared to our designed obsolescence/ throw away society
Very true. This is why I have all older tractors, not any of this new stuff that's offered out there including this zero turn radius go cart mowers with mower decks on them. They are an accident ready to happen.
I think it is fantastic how easy you make it look to get all these machines operational.
International Harvester is all American as Diesel Creek!"No bad smell here, TY.I have not ridden a cub cadet since I was 8, and now I'm 60!
You have enough cadets to start a military academy!
Great memories. My grandfather had that model. It was the first riding mower I can remember using. Being ten years old and turned loose to mow two acres. King of the world I tell you. Great find!
My grandfather had one of these too and I remember as a kid helping to plow snow with it.
your neighbors must love you -mowing you're lawn at 10 pm haha love it!!!
Bought one 4 years ago, needed a new carburetor and has never stopped since. Good machines.
oh great, our wackadoodle neighbor is now mowing the yard in the dark...
Only tweeker's do that were I'm from.
Are you my neighbor?
@@scottc6982 I do all my farm work at night as I live in a desert and have a full time job. And yes my neighbors think I'm a tweeker. But heat stroke sucks, I don't want skin cancer and I don't have AC. I would talk to them about it, but I don't associate with tweeker's either.
I do that also and I'm not a tweaker or a wackadoodle. Some of us work fucked up hours and don't have any other options, unless you like looking at a hay field. I guess I'm whatever words you wanna call me also lol. Sticks and stones men, or woman I suppose
@@raymond8875 I like the way you think👍. My grandfather was a multimillionaire farmer and he did the same as you. Smart ppl think alike. Who cares what any of these dipshits think of you or I.
Just a friendly warning: when ever dealing with mouse housings, use proper safely equipment due to mouse droppings can contain mouse fever... you can inhale the dust and get really sick, it’s a thing so be careful!
Henta virus is deadly for sure
Rodents in general can also carry a bug called 'Leptospirosis' or Weil's disease which can be fatal.
Not that long ago a Canadian guy caught it from the top of a contaminated soda can and died.
He won’t have to worry about the mouse fever if he keeps lifting engines around like that. He’ll have knackers like footballs and degenerative discs in his back.😳😏👍🏻
Infinite patience. Nothing is too much trouble. Failure is not an option. Admirable!
The pure excitement (from and Matt and me !!!) whenever a engine fires up after a long sleep.....live it to bits. Grtz, Jean , France.
I couldn't help but laugh when Matt was describing the tools you need to work on the Cub. Not a dreaded 10mm in site.
Before You Tube was a thing, I thought the 10mm was just me.
MABLE mystery oil atf
Can't beat them old kohler's.
@@richardbrown8794 You can beat them, but they don't die easily.
8mm x1, check
9mm x1, check
10mm x9, ALL GONE
11mm x1, check
Still not enough 10mm
Why on Earth would you wish that smell upon us?? I thought we were all friends here. lol
Thanks for another great video.
Been watching Mustie1 for years and his battle with rodent piss smell. Now Matt. Tought it could'nt be that bad...
Did a pre-season check up on my mower taday. Rodents lived in it this winter for the first time ever...
Now I know, it DOES SMELL that bad !! 😱 🤮
Thankfully youtube doesnt have Smell o Vision.
Yeah I felt my nose screw up involuntarily when he took the big cover off!
Howdyyawl from the land down under. What a barn find. With a bit of imagination, elbow greese & understanding how things work, youve shown your viewers your absolute joy in what you do. Satisfation guaranteed Thanks for sharing😊.
A new quote of the day; "drier than a popcorn fart". Thank you, Matt!
$50.00 a little work and you have a really nice rider mower. cant beat that!
This guy is a mad scientist. Who knows what he’ll bring back to life!
The kohler engines of this era are very reliable. My 1970 Cub Cadet 147 sat for a few years and got a carb clean then it ran. My sister's 1967 Cub Cadet 122 got a motor from a whole different tractor (cub cadet 125, same motor tho) and that 125 sat outside in the woods for a year or so and fired right up.
I have never heard of a needle scaler. After seeing that work I immediately ordered one. Thanks 👍
outstanding video! just goes to show what a little time , knowledge and elbow grease can yield. makes me want to get busy on my old john deeres that have been waiting for 10 years. i just love these old work horses. thanks for taking the time to share your time and knowledge with us. and keep them videos coming.
Man i thought i was the only person who loves the old cub cadets nice job Mat
They ARE built like tanks, very reliable tractors, the good ole International Harvester Cub Cadet tractors. Can't say that about these MTD tractors of today, that's for sure.
17:20 - Our friend shows off his quarter sheet of 3/4" plywood he uses as a temporary bench! That's probably $400 worth of wood. lol
😂😂😂😂
I enjoy watching you put your knowledge and mechanical skills to work to revive another neglected engine. Always impressed watching your videos.
You are my inspiration brother I love tinkering with old machines ! And when it started I can totally relate to your excitement! I live in Canada 🇨🇦 so I've restored snowblowers and what not ❤
As someone who grew up in the suburbs I never knew how damaging mice can be for farmers. It is absolutely astounding.
Had multiple mowers over the years, all have had electrical problems from mice. Worst was a kohler vtwin that needed both ignition coils replaced. Ironically, parking them outside seems like the only solution to keeping them out lol
Just an FYI. Don't carry a chain on the floor of that forklift. We had one just like it at work. The chain worked its way through a hole in the floorboard and was caught by the driveshaft. It took the maintenance department well over an hour to remove it.
Or it gets under the pedals
I love your channel. I'm not much of a mechanic, but love to see people restore stuff. It's a lost art, people nowadays throw everything to the trash and don't even attempt to fix anything anymore.
I've been seeing a lot of your work and trouble shooting on some of the worst things that people would just junk for scrap. You never seem to disappoint. Thanks for sharing.
Those old Kohlers were overbuilt and we love them for it.
Crank bearings in them are giant and actual bearings not stupid bushings. Love the old stuff
We kohlers still overbuild everything.. not a joke. My name is Köhler 😁
48:15 big respect for your neighbours not going crazy from Matt driving his 12hp oldass lawnmower at fricking pitch dark night time xD love it!!
It’s actually pretty quiet in person lol
@@DieselCreek And, as a guess, the neighbors are more than 20' away, unlike in some towns
@@DieselCreek wow!! Haha i was kinda guessing by how crusty some parts were that it would do some noise 😆!!
@@CAPNMAC82 closest neighbor is about 50-60’ from the shop door
@@DieselCreek So really close then LOL- looks at nearest neighbour only a mere 900 ft away...
Haha, the look and excitement when it fires up, ive been there myself, and there's nothing like it. Bringing old junk to life is awesome.
I love these kind of videos where old machinery is brought back to life, and it's educational! Even though I don't own any of this stuff.
I love seeing old machines brought back into life, well done Matt.
And not a fist full of ignition inter-locks to deal with.
That was pretty satisfying when you were pressure washing and all of the sudden a yellow differential and axles appeared
Surprise!
Great seeing you get things running again - thank you. Re: your discs, hydraulic lifter table prolonged my working life and are very handy for all sorts of situations.
You are GENIUS! I used your slide hammer trick today. Worked like a charm. I've never removed a seal so easy or used the tool I've had for years. Thanks. We love the channel.
The look of pure happiness on your face when it moved cracked me up nice job 👍
It really warmed my soul when I watched you rebuild the mower, my grandfather had that exact tractor, with headlights on it. It was working perfectly after 30 years of work when he sold the property to someone, and to this day is still being used. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Love those old tractors, back when things were made to last.
This brings back a flood of memories. My uncle had one of these and that is what I learned to drive on. I will definitely be looking for one to piddle in my shop.
Nice video brings back memories
My parents had one from the seventies manual gearbox with tire weights and chains. I Used it to cut grass and plow snow. That tractor was bullet proof and never failed. It was 33 years old and still running when they replaced it with a new model.
Then why replace it 🤷🏼♂️
My father bought a Model 126 in 1970. I still have it and use it for mowing.
You’ve got the paint like the one for Christine 😉👍
You have a real knowledge of those old Cub Cadet machines and it shows. Great video.
So satisfying to see old equipment running again. Fantastic work.
Part of the fun in watching your channel is watching you get so excited when you get a crust old piece of machinery running again. Keep em' coming!
My Grandfather used to work at the Louisville Ky plant making parts for these. It is great to see how well things were made back then, people expected years of like out of their tools, not like today (or most of the MTD residential stuff) as it just doesn't last.
Mickey do you have anything of his from there? Very cool that he worked there, love seeing the old pictures of the assembly line there
MTD: Major Turd Design......
@@notajp Exactly. International Harvester's worse mistake was selling off their tractor line to Machine Tool And Die.
The IH and Allis were spendy in the day but very much a premium product.
Just think of how many babies Mommy and Daddy mouse raised. They didn't mean to mess up the engine.
Just think about how fortunate you are to be able to spend the days of your life doing something you love. Your smile and satisfaction at the end are just awesome.
If you haven't sold this I'll buy it. This is the best video I have ever seen on RUclips.
Peace
Greg
I've never been into mowers. Old tractors and Roller push blade combine mowers have my attention, and love. But after your intro, you now have a new fan of the mowers. I love the square design on the front these cubs. Thank you for sharing your passions and hobbies with us on RUclips. Godspeed
The noises you were making when trying to describe the stench - hilarious! I caught myself covering my face while watching the video. 😂😂😂
Use the old seal to tap in the new one!
:)
You are hilarious, enthusiastic, and super skilled. I have the EXACT same 129, but with the 44 deck. It is a great machine, and with chains on it I mow hills and paths into the woods. It will mow down small saplings. Great to see this video.
I felt your over whelming joy when it fired. My dad bought a cub cadet when I was a kid. Been wanting one ever since. They're awesome tractors
Ayyyy, suddenly a fantastic day! Been having Diesel Creek withdrawal symptoms this week
We used a lot of those eccentric collar bearings on the air handling units at the hospital I worked at. Mostly on fan shafts. Been around a long time, old tech that works fine.
I had a 149 with a 50” deck and a cab and snowblower. Loved it.
Many thanks for this.;...my '72 128 is just being rebuilt as we speak....can hardly wait to NOT see the cloud of blue smoke anymore
LOVED the video and fantastic explanations of everything....helped me a lot
Cheers my friend from Canada North
i remember those tractors well.. back in the 60s and 70s when u bought a tractor it would pretty much last u a life time ..same with the john deeres
still have an 81, 109, 124, and a 149 hydro. these old cubs are great mowers.
You just cussed at me saying, john deere. Never liked them.
"Vice Grip Garage" uses emery boards. He just doesn't let his wife know ... hahaha
ME TOO! LOL!
What they don't know, they can't get pissed off about! LOL
You are so patient and persistent for a young man. I have watched about 5 of your videos now, and am going to sub, as well. Thanks for the demonstration of persistence.
I am so glad this video came out. Back in November 2020 I was given a 1974 model 1250 Hydro-static International Cub Cadet Tractor. I have yet to get into it but this shows me everything I need to know about getting mine running. My mower deck has zero rust. Like his mine has been sitting close to 20 years in a dry barn. I would love to own more than one of these.
You just use an emery board and when you're done cleaning the points, you put it back in the top left drawer of the bathroom vanity where you wife keeps it for you
LOLOLOLOLOLOL 😆!!!
Tell him to paint flywheel AND. STUFF so he doesn’t smell Like ass when he goes in for supper.. WIVES HATE STINKY MEN ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SMELLS LIKE RAT PP
My "will it run" fix. I love these types of videos.
I work as a millwright in a smelter, I saw a couple flange bearings with eccentric locking collars used on fans. Friend of mine worked in a sawmill, he said they used that type of locking mechanism all the time on conveyors. Not the best to preserve the shaft but easy and quick to install.
Always a pleasure to watch! Keep it up
Excellent description of "How To". I had a 62 Original I dragged out behind some farmers home years back. Got it home, wouldn't run. Pulled the head and with rubber hammer loosened the stuck valve and lubricated it. Stuck old head, old head gasket original plug all back together and it fired right off been using it for over 20 years now.
Your video shows how good a Kohler engine really is!
Runs as smooth as a new machine Matt, well done!
I miss a belt slip though....
I wish I had the energy to do this stuff. I'd love to get a cheap rider and fix it up, mowing 2/3rds of an acre when you have chronic fatigue syndrome isn't fun. Thanks for the vid Diesel, I love seeing you wrench on the old iron.
I have a model 86 my dad bought when I was 5 mowed on it every summer until I was about 20. He and I did a frame of restoration on it that winter rebuilt the 8 HP Koehler and it ran like a top for another 7-8 years. Pop died and Mom had a bad heart the same year no time to work on it I bought another Cub a new MTD . It’s been ok . I still have the model 86 will get the gear drive rebuilt one day I hope to mow with it again before I am done. I will be 59 next year. Matt love to watch you work you are a quality young man and a hard worker too.
My first time here.
No ego at all, just good clean facts.
Crystal clear that you’ve done a fair few of these, you made it look so easy.
You deserve a 3” thick workbench but it’s still stunning to see what you can do with two horses and a half sheet.
I subscribed!!
I love it!
Thank you!
Looks like a great platform for a restoration. Always liked the looks of the older cub cadets.
"She's drier than a popcorn fart" ...new one to put in the arsenal
I'm sorry but what's the meaning? When you eat popcorn your fars are dry? 😅 I'm not american and i never heard this type of joke 😂😅
@@christianvolpato7579
Popcorn is kinda dry by itself...butter makes it wetter ..so basically it would be a Dry Fart with popcorn alone.... Not really a North American joke but i heard it before.....
The old Cub Cadet models were top shelf and known for their ruggedness and reliability. Many folks used them to plant their gardens, using the optional rototiller if they had the PTO.. I believe they weren't cheap back then, but as you proved they are well built and worth the extra money they commanded.. You do nice work and know these machines well, glad I found your channel, thank you for this entertaining and well done video..
I was about 10 and Dad brought home a new 1963 Cub Cadet on my birthday 06-27-1963. It was the king of the garden tractors. My friends had Wheel Horses. That's how we got around in the woods and places. There were no 4 wheelers or motor cycles. I currently have a restorded 1965 Wheel Horse hydrostatic with a 12 hp Kohler industrial motor. I like it too. TD Atlanta
It never gets old to hear those motors pop off after a little work on them!
I love watching revivals like this. It’s so satisfying to see a piece of equipment especially one as solid and well built as this one saved from heading to the scrap yard. My father has a 1965 Allis Chalmers Big Ten lawn tractor, it is one of the best pieces of yard equipment I’ve used. He built a bucket for it as well as a log splitter he recent just finished building. He also has a tiller, deck, blade, and and snowblower attachments. Such a simple, universal, very handy piece of equipment.
Good job! Pretty simple mechanics involved. Thanks Ron
As always, a very enjoyable video. Thanks.And thank you for not dwelling on the carb!!
I'm a sucker for a happy ending. 👍😉
I have an MTD Cub Cadet. Can confirm...
Hahahahaha get you a nice old one buddy! Mow in style!
@@DieselCreek sorry but this diesel engine will not run and start and glow
I have a super lt1554, it no where near as tough as my 1812, but still a pretty well built mower.
P
If you have a MTD Cub you have a pile of junk .
Great job and I have always loved working on old lawn tractors I have owned a few over the years now I have a brand new Cub Cadet
Cool old tractor !
Awesome video !!
That's how my father started out restoring rider mowers, and pulling with them , especially with Gravely tractors, thanks !
Had a cub,,used to me in the late 1970’s Mower and snow plow,,great machine!
Hey, you really went to town on this ole girl and got her running again. Great stuff.
I am baffled by all the skills needed in your work domain.
Self-made-man at its hardest.
Thanks for the share.
I love those old Cub Cadets. Direct drive to the transaxle, Kohler engine, pto clutch mounted to the engineer, cast iron front axle and rigid steel frame. Tough, rugged tractors and easy to work on. I have a 1996 cub and while it not as good as these old girls, it’s much better than the cubs of today.
Let’s see your collection of them! I love seeing cubs. I’ve got about 18 of them. Very addicting
Just love your enthusiasm it’s so much fun and exciting to see you get this old equipment running like new again great job and content 👍
One of the best videos I've watched all year. Great job, you know your stuff, partner.
Another victory for the Diesel Creek Team! Nice find and nice work, Matt. 👍
