Another FAILED Mower Idea To Look Out For/AVOID
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 янв 2024
- In "The Thing In The Attic", Taryl goes over this Ariens zero turn mower and updates the throttle/choke cable with their new version for fixing it. It's not a recall so of course the customer has to pay to have this done. A terrible design idea on their part that Taryl has to straighten out.
Prior to and after the fix, Taryl tells Junior to take some stuff and stick it into the attic of the new building addition. A leery Junior informs him he heard noises coming from up there which only angers Taryl but his mind quickly changes when he has a first-hand experience with... The Thing In The Attic.

its a shame.. i was hoping to see mustie1 under the cover.... but ronnie does kick grass lol
How old are you use a double steel clamp with a a self tapping screw. Dauh
Tire is flat
The thing really is a movie check it out it’s good
Everything we buy is made in China.I think China owns the USA
everyone thinks a spiral staircase is cool until you have to carry something up or down them LOL
Yeah but it was Free!! LoL.He needs an elevator like Mustie has... but not really, it doesn't look like there's that big of a storage up there to warrant much.
Yeah, But they made some pretty good music.
@@jimhoward1655a square section of floor cutout/reinforced with a winch at the top and simple pulleys would be sick
@@M.TTT. yeah for sure with a electric winch and they could also use it to hoist Taryl & Carla - (frontman,lead singer, backup singer and #1 groupie) up where Jr. & Slippers band is using platform as a stage 🤘
He has that electric forklift.@@jimhoward1655
Kind of funny briggs has had combination throttle choke controls for decades and only need 1 cable👀
I guessed wrong. I thought Elk Skins was under the blanket in the attic.
"Fire it up !!"
common sense - so god damn rare it's a super power.
great video Taryl, G'day from Australia
"They moved the headstones" 😂😂😂 THEY'RE HEEERE!!
That's what happens when the eeeeekindinging department has never worked on the machines themselves. LOL!! Good job Taryl!!
Another prime example of how a company tried to reinvent the wheel.🙄
You might want to mention on your videos to have viewers to check there subscriptions because I got bumped twice in 1 month and many other RUclips creators have had the same problem for the past few months. I always love all your videos for the last 2 years but your cruise ship video is great. Thank You and your son's and the crew for giving me and many others comedy and knowledge
I've been hearing about it for a few years now.
My brother used to call the Adjustable Wrench the Polish Socket Set. That and Vice-Grips were his favorite tools.
Slippers always cracks me up!
the skit was awesome...loved it..
So...we send the kids to engineer design school, and they get the books and eat the covers...again. LOL
I think they ate the inside pages of the book.
I worked for a Guy that sweared he was an engineer but evering that he had the welding shop to build i had to redo it because it broke loose or or didnt work like latches and locks on Trailers that held down a full bundle of rebar,heavy trailer ramps etc
Why does it seem like engineers don't live in the same world as the rest of us. A world without common sense but ripe with zero tolerances.
I work in an engineer pit as an estimator and project manager. I see it every day: engineers make a ton of money. If they leave well enough alone, they have nothing to do.
Don't be stupid, Engineers didn't prepare this piece of crap instructions. Uneducated technicians did it. Company mall invest expensive engineers , time and preparing Minor retrofit changes such as these. And if you still believe engineers did it then you are as dumb as the technicians who prepared these stupid instructions.
@@Cookie-Dough-DynamoYou are a full of crap.
You guys are so fricken hilarious!!!!! Love us some Slippers, and Ronnie episodes !!!!
Those people are lucky to have someone like you in their area Grace and peace enjoy watching your videos
Your repair procedure of doing the choke cable was better than the retrofit. Thanks for the video
This is a great video to watch on a rainy Sunday morning!
Good fix Taryl, I see slippers is doing his own stunts again, he’s like Jackie Chan👍
13/32, love it, couldn't go plus or minus another 32nd to use more standard 7/!6 or 3/8 for the hole... :)
Nice repair on that stupid design flaw maybe they will pay more attention next time around but I want get my hopes up for that. Love the skit and WoW the new building is coming together nicely love it…👍👍👍
I did the same repair on my Gravely a couple of years ago. Cables were too short and I did the shortcut method also. Nice video.
Always enjoy watching a Master at his craft. Thanks Taryl
LOL the Poltergeist headstones reference. Taryl is so much win.
Stay gold.
Where did the owner store this machine? In an underground fort made of leaves and twigs?
I would give my left nut for that machine! I would clean that thing (with compressed air) after EVERY mowing job! It is sacrilegious how the owner has treated that mower!
"Slippers, give me a hand."
Slippers is now officially my favorite character.
Poor Slippers...probably lost a few ribs in that fall🙄
I love 98% of your videos and especially love watching small engine and mower videos!!!!
Thumbs up before I even watch it
I'm still using my 1990 Dynamark ride that is running and cutting fantastic. I never use ethanol fuel in it, and I maintenance it whenever needed. It has never let me down yet. I refuse to buy the junk that's made nowadays or go battery. Your channel has been huge in helping me take care of all my machines. Thank YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Same here, I just put 1500 into a 1984 simplicity. It's good for another 35 40 years!
@@troy3052 They just don't make them like they use to. That's awesome you were able to get it back up again
They made lots of junk back then also. Fortunately most of it has been scrapped by now.
Not the worst idea,just needed a quality built mechanism.
Thank you for sharing.👍
My Ariens Zoom has the separate throttle and choke. It's from around 2016 or so. Still a good video guys. Thanks.
How has the mower been overall? I've been trying to find a cheap one used
@@M.TTT. I bought it new, and had been pretty good. Had one coil failing intermittently, about a year ago. Teryl got me a pair of new coils, and all is good.
@@williambowman7822ah, nice, not bad
Low on Toilet paper huh! Did you look upstairs in the new addition of the shop? I thought I saw some Georga Pacific on the top shelf there by the wall? When Jr and Slippers went upstairs at the start of the video. lol! Thanks for another entertaining Video Taryl.
Manufacturer instructions tend to get you there 95% of the way, the final 5% can be overcome with some plain basic logic when installing. Good work Taryl, another one out the door! Cheers.
Nice to see a well maintained piece of equipment come into the shop finally.😂
and probably proud to drop it off in such fine condition.
No kidding!!!! Amazed at how many people trash out their equipment, then bee-atch when the POS breaks down.
I thought the same thing. You could eat off my stuff after mowing grass! Leaf blower and wash and shined up as necessary.. Ya I am that anal!
That's a huge pet peeve of mine. Takes me roughly 5 minutes to use the leaf blower after each mow. I haven't had to replace a belt or mandrel in years. The moisture from all that debris is probably what froze the choke cable
You are 'spot on'. Same here, so easy to use the blower to get rid of all that crap, in just a minute or two.@@chubbyjohnson5480
Right that’s why you looked at the instructions. LOL good video.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Another great show!
Black zip ties are not UV sensitive. White zip ties will not tolerate sun light black will. Thank you for your videos.
I think it's more accurate to say that the black one are _less_ sensitive. It's the same base material (nylon); it's just that the black pigment (and possibly other additives) give it extra UV resistance.
Make sure you DON'T get the cheap Chinese ties. They are useless in COLD weather. I always get "Gardner & Bender" ties for cold weather use!
While looking over the new power equipment at one of the big box stores (I won’t say which one but it’s the opposite of Highs) one day many years ago, an Ariens was the first riding mower that I ever saw with a plastic transaxle on it. Many were built that way after and I assume they were not the first, either, but I lost a lot of respect for their brand that day. All these many years later, I see any Ariens and all I can think of was that new riding mower with the cheap looking black plastic transaxle case. What a piece of junk!
Definitely not the first. But most things at big box stores I feel are cheapened. If buying power equipment or mowers I always recommend dealers. They have better options, better products across the board, on site warranty and service as well. And some offer good financing. But not all dealers are good ether.
Unfortunately this SOP for MOST manufacturers, even the high profile ones! Good example is John Deere with PLASTIC hoods on their riding mowers. Even my CHEAP 20yr old MTD (Yardman) rider has a METAL hood!
I have an old Ariens S322 snowblower that had bad ideas when it was young. Replacement parts ended up working better after a while.
I have a "Mack SS522" (Generic version of Ariens, built in BRILLION, WI). I purchased this snow thrower in '94 from Menards for $199.95, Mack Industries was closing. These snow throwers originally went for $450. This machine is FANTASTIC, starts on the FIRST pull every season, never any parts, except a belt 2 in 20yrs. What makes it great, is that it's a 2-stroke 5hp, 22". Never needs oil changes and STILL has the original plug!
Great video. But OMG, The THING in the Attic...Ronnie. LOL. Too funny.
I'm glad it was just Ronnie and not Elkskins.
vous faite de tres bonnes représentation merci
Wiss said that was vary good class thank you for showing us this repair .also vary vary vary funny skit love them makes my day better.thanks .
Man the older Kohler starters were beef cakes I could crank on those bad boys for 10 minutes at a time
great stuff, that Slippers dummy was pretty life-like. Didn't realize you had a former "Face Off: Game Face" winner on your staff.
What is amazes me is how dirty people leave their equipment! I would literally freak out with OCD if my mowers were left like that. My stuff gets blown off top to bottom with leaf blower every time I am done mowing and they are washed and shined up if they get dirty and at end of every season and covered!
Exactly what I noticed also.
Some people think it's just an appliance like their vacuum cleaner and just keep using it without caring for it.
Yep, I do the same with all my lawn equipment. After every use, I use the leaf blower to clean the whole machine. I also blow the engine and cylinder cooling fins clean to help keep the engine running cool. I also give the machine a good power washing in the fall and grease all the fittings and change the oil and filter. I even take the deck off and power wash the underside till it's completely clean. And like you, I cover the machine for the winter. It's great to start another summer season with a clean and well-maintained machine. It amazes me that someone would drop off their machine for service in such dirty condition. At least blow all the leaves off the machine. Come on man! Does that remind you of the Clown in the White House?
Hey, I agree 100%. An EXPENSIVE machine like that deserves better!
Love new year with ronnie, great villian
I've modified that choke before the same way you did! I used to work on them critters.
All these companies have to do is come up with something different that will make people will say "ohhh cool, check out what this does!" And they turn around and buy it...
Hope taryl does more on mowers he hates to repair!
I have a feeling that those instruc -she -ownes are going to be like John Wayne toilet paper…. it’s not going to take shit off anyone!
Thanks for another great video Grass Rats! Always good content and a great skit!
You're the real deal I enjoy watching it
A Bad Idea found a Friend! All choked up over this video? Zip ties, 10 in 1 screwdriver of wire ties!
The skits are awesome
I agree 👍 I would think that it would work better and you showed it did. Running parallel.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
38:07 other shops are not mechanics. They are just parts changers, and they would have had to call up Ariens and get the right cable. Instead of making it work.
Reminds me of Chickanic she let a person's lawn mower set for weeks because a break cable was on back order.
Make a darn break cable give the person mower back. Don't hold on to it for 6 weeks or more. 😂
Pshhhh
Chicakanic is SUPPOSEDLY getting out of the business. Good riddance!!
@@TheOzthewiz she lied, they took her building. She opened up a backyard home shop...lol.
Is that another mower that’s gonna have a fire because the customer doesn’t clean it out? Great video Grass Rat!!
Slippers slips again 😆gotta luv it🤟
That's a fine set of knashers.
I like the way you ran them and did not cross the cables. In hindsight , I suppose you could have shortened the cables and pulled out the old Z bender ??? Also you could have hooked the choke cable like you did at first and cut the control lever section that wasn’t needed. But either way, good mod!!👍.
I have an Ariens max zoom. The difference in quality between the zoom and the max zoom is huge. I guess the difference in price is huge too.
Did anyone see "THE SIMPSONS" floor mat on that mower?
A Simpsons floor mat and a Jagermeister key lanyard.
That owner must be cool....
Good taste!!!!
Hahahaha
At least those instructions were readable. Not like some.
Love the Svengoolie approved skit! My attic definitely has something up there, thanks to lazy, broke, amateur 70's builders only putting sheetrock on 1.5 walls of the garage.
Tip: Use black zip-ties for outdoor equipment. White have no UV resistance and get brittle.
AND, make sure they are AMERICAN made! The Chinese ties (even black ones) are TOTAL junk in COLD weather! First time you "ZIP" them in the COLD, the "locking tab" snaps off. I wish I could find the "original Thomas &Betts (inventor of "ty-wraps") ty-wraps with the metal locking tab (at an affordable price). We used them in the "mainframe computer" industry in the '60s and they held wire harnesses like a pair of "vise grips"!
I thought the Thing in the attic was going to be Elkskins!
Another good video guys. Noticed Tyral had a different hoodie on in the repair video than the one he was wearing going up into the attic. Was that added over the "N.O.P..E." hoodie due to the extreme cold in the new addition or ya showing off the different merchandise ya have to offer??💰..😉 Peace out and God Bless you guys.😎✌🖖🤘🙏🤝
Another great video! Albeit the bad jokes. Being a former young grass rat myself, i would attempt to "fix" the problem only to make matters worse. At this point in my life I would buy the Ariens IKON-HD with the Kawasaki motor. At least they, Aries learned from their mistakes & corrected the problem.
I did the same to my Husqvarna GTH3052TDF years ago, except I made the brackets and fitted a universal choke cable.
good idea shoot some lubricant into end of both cable metal housings and a little dab thread locker on cable fasten bracket screw .
GOOD IDEA!
Mower aside,I'm diggin his Simpson's floor mat,lol. 😎👍
Yeah. Me too
When you gotta Krohler on there, who knows what they were thinkin' ......
Why would they design it so poorly. Mowers should be easy to fix and reliable as the older ones. Nowadays they are not worth the money anymore
Next time buy a John Deere John Deere mower….not one of those Home Depot John Deeres!
Designed to a profit margin not for reliability
@@Showboat_Six i am from germany and we got John Deeres and Sabo (dont know if the brand is popular in the US) and they are very well made machines.
They don't make the new better because there is no reason to buy another if the new one never "wears out" or breaks..
Anything without grease zerts or with a "lifetime" fluid is JUNK!
You have a point, but fixing stuff like this is easy if you have all the tools and equipment
Seems like all of these gimmicky features are always found on the base residential models of all brands. The “Easy Oil Change” from John Deere and the Toro electric parking brake are cheesy convenience features that keep you buying expensive proprietary parts.
Who the f**k needs an electric parking brake on a mower? I even miss the "pull up" parking brake on my '20 Blazer!
Nice man
I did one of these a while ago on a Gravely equivalent of this zero turn. Really one of those things that makes you "Oh how the mighty have fallen".
Alot mowers had those back in day 😊
I thought the blob was in the attic at first…😁
Brilliant episode from a UK grassrat
Taryl. Thank you.
Hey Taryl- I use the General # 77 automatic center punch- it is adjustable- try it you’ll like it…..
I just use a regular "prick" punch because I AM one!
You don't have any step drills, Taryl?? They excel at thin metal. Dang twist drill will break your wrist with a strong drill motor.
The customer is thinking that bringing this to Tary was the best decision he could have made. This would be more work than most people could do themselves.
I've had a strategy since was about 10yo, keep fiddling with it until it runs so good that it doesn't require choke.
Yeah, replace the "pot" with TBI!
awesome
One error - you used a natural white nylon cable tie to hold the cables to the Krohler engine flywheel cover. They are not UV stabilzed and may become brittle in a few years. The black ones are stabilized (80% of the time...). However, the Ariens orange engine cover will keep the sun off of it, plus I have had some really trash, black colored cable ties in the past that fell apart from a sealed bag. Some were made in Chicago. Shocker. Fake/cheap, poorly mixed resins, or amateurs at injection molding. Yours looks like a strong, quality piece.
Yeah, I have had the SAME experience with the Chinese ties out of the bag! That is why I will spend a bit more for QUALITY ties such as Gardner &Bender ties.
Watch out Slip Dog 😂
I always take a picture of all carburetor, linkage cable connections before I disassemble that way there’s no question of how they go back together
That papers a little slippery 😅
Classic example of 'Value Engineering' gone wrong. An engineer was challenged to reduce cost, so came up with this idea to save 30 cents by eliminating the choke knob. On the cable crossover, the instructions were correct, now your choke lever is rubbing across the top ofntbe throttle cable. In the instruction diagram that did not happen.
I don't believe it was the engineer's fault. The "bean counters" at Ariens were responsible for implementing this "cool" idea!
Good morning Troy
Looks like the throttle cable is routed on bottom and cross crossed so it doesn’t rub on bracket. If you start video at 33:22 it’s a good comparison from yours to instruction.
My Dad worked at Ariens in brillion Wisconsin
Great to hear. I own a snow thrower that was built by "Mack Industries" back in the mid-'90s. It is a Mack ss 522, generic version of the Ariens SS522. I bought it on 'close out" at Menards in the Fall of '04 for $199.95, as-is, NO paper work or guarantee. I assume the close out was because this was a 2-stroke machine! I tried calling the number on the serial tag, but the number was not in service!
LOL ! Taryl I was hollering to you that the key lanyard was stuck and when you finally found it I spit my beer out. I believe they had the throttle cable in the lower position because it looked like it rubbed the choke control lever although I was like you I didn't like how they crossed over each other.
It was a Jagermeister lanyard...hahaha
Slippers aint afeared! lol
Taryl, I saw you advertising merchandise. You ought to sell some of those "taryl famous choppers" dentures
AHEM tarylfixesall.bigcartel.com/product/new-taryl-and-junior-teeth
