I have a Huskee 21HP 46" deck that I bought new in 1999. Swapped the stamped front axle for the solid cast option, improved a couple things on the mower deck and replaced the ball joints and regular maintenance parts change but other than that it's all original. Still running strong.
I like your scissors hoist and chain hoist above it . I take it the deck was alright. good trade for a piece of sheet metal. the 7 year wait did wreck that much stuff, considering it was out side.
The deck shell appears to be solid, but the spindles are seized. It will need a bit of work to get back up and working. I plan on cutting my lawn with this summer 😊
Looks like Tyler’s a big Stihl fan! I only have one Stihl chain sharpener so far but can certainly envision a time when I’ll have at least 3 different ones. That’s an amazing set you have to cover every type of chain! I’d probably mark the sizes in huge numbers on both sides. I’ve sharpened chains since I was very young and these are for me a total game changer and a real pleasure to use. Are you a Stihl dealer?
This can be done with an impact or hand tools. We chose to use hand tools for the practice ( he uses impacts for everything) and maybe everyone watching doesn't have an impact wrench :)
@@marriedwithsmallengines I totally under understand. He’s really good with those T-handles. I’ll do everything I can with a cordless drill with clutch unless it needs to be broken free first, which I do by hand because my first impact is still just beyond my reach. I saw a Makita cordless of some kind there. I’ve decided on a Makita 18v impact wrench to start with 1/4 drive adapter. I really respect everything Makita makes. I’m restoring a freebie compressor for my own use. It’s more powerful, smaller and quieter than a Ridgid curb find I got when I first started.
Yes, These garden tractors came in various names and colours - Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan... We have a couple larger Poulans out back - may do a scrap it or fix it series on one of them :)
what is the cats name? new sub here..like your content..how i wish we had a small engine guy like you here in Western NY..small business are dying here in NY..
We have two shop kitties, Tony and Lilly. Tony is the black cat you have seen on video. Lilly is a long haired little fluff ball that will make her film debut very soon! Let us know if you have an idea for an upcoming video! We will do our best 😊
SO TRUE! Too many people today look at lawn and garden equipment as disposable and buy new ones every year. Fixing or repairing something isn't possible in their world .
I would always fix em. If nothing else, make a go cart for the kids or a racing tractor or stretch the frame and put a cargo bed on the back. Lots of things can be done with those larger tractors. Add a home-made 3 point hitch. Install electrics and an electric log splitter on it. Ideas are endless.

These 90's and early 2000's tractors are fantastic!
We’re loving your channel… subscribed today.
Thank you so much!!

Tractor still has problems but you’ve come a long way! Part 4? Throttle cable free up or replacement? Rings worn? Leakdown test?
There will be a part 4! We are going to cut grass with this unit this summer!
More of Mumbles but I’m sort of able to follow along - I just can’t hear Tyler’s full explanation and I’d really like to. 😉🔧👍
The new mic is due to arrive today! Keep an eye out for a new video to drop later today with the new mic up and running! :)

Yes, we are a Stihl dealer.
Please put on your safety glasses, teach everyone that is most important!😎😎
I will remind him 😊
Removing that pulley assembly was a real struggle! Was there a reason for not using an impact wrench?

@@Rein_Ciarfella all of our battery shop tools are Makita 😊
Except that my Huskee is gear driven it's basically the same thing as the Craftsman here.

Does Tony leave the noses and tails for you or is he pretty much a nose to tail mouser? 😉

We have built many racing lawnmowers - one for every member of the family! Haha
